"Taste the edible flowers
Scattered in the salad days
Who owns that space
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass
Until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
And still the rain keeps coming down
I'm hardly here at all
And everything's gone quiet now
I'm hardly here at all"

molte persone, forse per sentito dire, o....per i soliti luoghi comuni, o per paura.. pensano che gran parte dei funghi non siano commestibili.
questo è falso ,tutti funghi sono commestibili , salvo che...
alcuni lo sono una volta sola..O_O !!!!!

Edible Dormouse in Hertfordshire. A rubbish photo but the best I could manage on the night. They're fast and hard to spot in pitch black!
The courgette or zucchini is a summer squash, a vining herbaceous plant whose fruit are harvested when their immature seeds and epicarp are still soft and edible. It is closely related, but not identical, to the marrow.
I particularly enjoy Courgettes stuffed with Parma Ham, Cream Cheese and Green Olives, served with Tempura Courgette Flowers.
My Gingerbread Man is an edible treat from my sweetheart ... but i reckon he's too good to eat. So I took his picture instead!
The largest mushroom even has a mosquito on it : )
For now, I am going to add the description I posted under my photos from a previous visit to this amazing place. I will add a few changes to go with our latest visit. If/when I have the energy, I can always post a different version to describe this visit. Right now, I feel overwhelmed with all the information I have about the Akesi Farms and the most enjoyable time we spent there.
"On 3 July 2015, four of us were lucky enough to visit and botanize the farm belonging to Meghan Vesey and Kwesi Haizel. This 53 acre farm, Akesi Farms, is a 90 minute drive from downtown Calgary and is near the town of Sundre, NW of Calgary. It is permaculture based with future crops of eggs, mushrooms, fruits and nuts! Hard to believe that this beautiful place has only belonged to this young, hardworking, enthusiastic couple since November 2014. A tremendous amount of work, thought and planning has already gone into adding to what was already there, with a little help from family and friends.
Meghan walked with us to show us the different parts of the acreage - forest and grassland. Everything seen was listed, including plants, birds, fungi, insects, animals and so on. This list will then be given to Meghan and Kwesi, along with any photos taken while we were there for the day. We are always happy to visit someone's land and compile a very detailed list of our findings for them. It's always a win/win situation - we enjoy what we are doing and love to explore a new location, and the owner ends up with a record of what was found on their property.
There are several wooden buildings on their property, including this large, fine barn which I had been longing to see. As you can see from this photo, the weather was beautiful, though still much too hot for me. Having been out on several outdoor trips recently in very hot weather, as well as being home in a place that felt like an oven, I really was not feeling all that great yesterday and perhaps did a bit too much walking.
I do have to also mention that we had the company of their three gorgeous dogs and one cat. As for the cat, she followed us when we were walking around one of the ponds near the house, obviously hunting for "something". At one point, she disappeared a short way up one of the trees, only to come flying out of it a few seconds later. Judging by her behaviour afterwards, I suspected she had been stung in the eye by one of the bees and, sure enough, that's what had happened, poor thing.
We were treated royally when we sat down outside to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate a delicious lunch of different salads and goodies - and cold lemonade that was more than welcome! Thank you so much, Meghan, Kwesi and Meghan's mother, Maurita, for all the work you put into preparing this feast for us - most generous! We all wish you the very best with your endeavours. With such hard work and obvious enthusiasm, I'm sure you will do well.
On the way back to Calgary, we stopped and walked down to the Elkton Bog. I had been there before, maybe a couple of times. We wanted to see how wet or dry the area was, at the same time seeing a few plants including carnivorous Sundew and Cotton Grass. I knew I would be so disappointed if I hadn't gone and the others had seen Sundew. This little toad was seen - I think it's a Western Toad. This walk on extremely uneven ground (and very wet in many places) finished me off for the day - I was utterly, totally, completely exhausted!!"
The edible-nest swiftlet, generally with a body length of 14cm (5.5. in), is a medium-sized representative of the salangans. The upper part of the slender body is blackish-brown; the under part of the body ranges in color from white to blackish-brown. The tail is short and has a slight notch. The bill and feet are black. Legs are very short and tarsi are usually unfeathered or lightly feathered.
Red chard in the "Foods of the World" display garden. UC Botanical Garden, Berkeley. A fav! I’m very fond of chard, both to eat and to look at!
It was a drizzly day. 😊
Last week I was on vacation in San Francisco, to visit Ben and enjoy a much needed break from workworkwork. One evening was spent in the company of Julian Cash, who brought over all his light painting tools for an evening of shooting edible light portraits. We shot film and Julian shot digital. It was a lot of fun, and I want to try this again.
More photos from San Francisco to come....
The Onion Chive is already blooming while the flowers are edible, I prefer just to photograph them !
I love the expressions! These are three toms, you can tell from their "beards" on their chests. They're just coming into maturity, as the beard feathers are now at least 6" long.
This was pretty much outside my front door, there is a rafter of turkeys that hang out in our neighborhood and do the rounds, this is three from about a dozen of them in total.
Something a little bit different...
I have always loved rockpooling and beach-combing with this the main reason why I did Marine Biology at university. Whenever I am on a beach I cannot resist seeing what has been washed up and there was plenty to see on the beach at Titchwell the other weekend including sea urchin shells, part of a fish skeleton, crab claws and this intact edible crab. Unfortunately, it is a dead crab but nonetheless I really like the detail on the claws and shell
Its created from a window light that flows into the scene.I reduced the highlights shine so that the texture become fade and soft. The result is drama with pure intense emotions
The Chinese edible frog, East Asian bullfrog, or Taiwanese frog (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, pasture land, rural gardens, urban areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, open excavations, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches. They breed in spring–early summer.
These frogs, though much smaller than their Western counterparts, are used by Chinese to cook frog legs and by Filipinos who cook them using the adobo method. The frog's forelimbs and hind legs are fried in oil, while in the adobo method (in which the entire frog is utilized), they are cooked in soy sauce and vinegar.
