Foto presa amb la meva Ihagee VP Exakta del 1933, amb un rodet de Ilford HP5+ 400 en format 127.
Al extrem sud del aeroport de Sabadell es troba un tancat amb la ferralla aeronautica abandonada. Majoritariament està formada per Mooney i Cessna de escoles de vol que varen fer fallida ja fa anys, com ara Top Fly o Tadair. Però també destaca per mida el Fairchild Swearinger Metroliner, que crec també era de Top Fly, fins el 2012.
=============================================
Picture taken with my Ihagee VP Exakta, made c.1933, with re-spooled Ilford HP5+ 400 film to 127 format.
At the southern end of Sabadell airport is a fenced area with abandoned aircraft scrap. It is mostly made up of Mooneys and Cessnas from flight schools that went bankrupt years ago, such as Top Fly or Tadair.
But by size the largest is this single Fairchild Swearinger Metroliner, probably abandoned here since 2012.

Live oak - the Fairchild Oak is one of the largest live oak trees in the south of Florida. The tree is 70 feet tall and its limbs stretch out to 300 feet across. The ancient tree is estimated to be 400 to 600 years old. The botanist David Fairchild, whose name is well-known in Florida because of the botanic garden in Coral Gables, admired this tree and, in 1955, it was named after him.
It grows next to Bulow Creek in Bulow Creek State Park, Florida.
Har to imagine this piece of junk ever flew and what is that odd looking pod on top - air conditioning?

Aloe thraskii (Coast Aloe) is an unbranched tree-like succulent that grows to 10 feet tall. It has deeply curved olive-green leaves with small reddish-brown marginal teeth, The leaves curve back to the trunk, sometimes even touching the skirt of old, dried leaves still hanging there. This winter-blooming species has well-branched inflorescences that can produce 15 to 25 upright cylindrical racemes. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.
Its yellow flowers have orange anthers which give them a bi-colored look. Younger plants may only produce a single inflorescence while older ones can produce multiples.

CN 396 crosses the Fairchild Creek Bridge outside of Brantford Ontario.
This bridge used to be visible from the ground but years of tree growth has all but hidden it from view without the use of a drone that is.
I forget about this beauty until I'm overwhelmed by its captivating fragrance near the end of my leisurely walk through Fairchild Garden! Gold and orange pinwheels seem to turn in the morning sunlight. Rain drops cling to its vibrant petals and silver-tipped filaments.
This large, rounded shrub is a native to Malaysia and Indonesia. Large flowers are about 4.5 inches in diameter and open white. Flowers slowly turn orange over a several day period before falling off. The white flower photo is of a bloom that has just begun to open. The orange flower is about 2 or 3 days later. So a tree will have white, yellow and orange flowers.

My favourite exhibit in the Brussels Museum. Many years ago I corresponded with Chuck Lunsford (now deceased), who had flown on this aircraft many times as radio operator during its USAF service, based at Dreux, in France.

Look at the curling black proboscis or sipping straw that is a vital characteristic of heliconian butterflies!
The Heliconius butterfly can live up to 9 months while neotropical butterflies normally live a couple weeks! Heliconius butterflies have two unique traits:
1- pollen feeding. Adult butterflies systematically collect pollen from flowers which they masticate on the proboscis to dissolve out amino acids. Since they do not need to store nutrients for egg and sperm production, caterpillars are able to develop rapidly allowing adults to have a greatly extended lifespan in the wild.
2- Pupal mating is a second unusual trait found in some Heliconius species. Males search for female pupae on larval food plants and sit on them. The next morning mating occurs before the female has completely emerged. Pupal-mating may enhance the possibility of intrageneric mimicry. Second, it may influence host-plant specialization, as pupal-mating species may displace other heliconiines from their hosts by interference competition.
Yes, this unusual flower is called Hot Lips! There are over 2,000 species of Psychotria, the genus under which Hot Lips falls. Where does Hot Lips grow? Psychotria elata is part of the tropical rainforest understory flora of the Americas. It is a unique plant with uninteresting flowers but fabulous lip-like bracts. The plant can be difficult to grow and has very special cultivation conditions. Hot lips grows as a shrub or small tree.
