I made a quick trip across the road to our neighbour’s front garden. Green and dried Jinsom weed seed pods.
These were photos of local neighbour’s flower gardens.
"Death Star"...Datura stramonium, known by the common names Jimson Weed or Devil's Snare, is a plant in the nightshade family.
Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

The M2 Machine Gun or Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. The M2 uses a large and powerful .50 BMG cartridge. The M2 has been referred to as "Ma Deuce", as a GI phonetic slang or "the fifty" in reference to its caliber. It is effective against infantry, unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats, light fortifications and low-flying aircraft. The M2 machine gun has been in production longer than any other machine gun. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Browning

I process all of my film by hand and enlarge all of my photos in the darkroom. This was my very first photo ever completed
I recently found out my Gramma has been asking where her diary is...after seeing this shot, my dad finally knew where to look.
This image was presented in diptych format with this one.
Shot for my advanced lighting final, the idea behind which was to document my grandparents' hastily deserted family home of 30+ years. They were forced to move into a nursing home because of sudden health issues...as a result, their log cabin has been left behind exactly as if they were still living there. Unfortunately, odds are slim that they will ever be able to return. The house will be either gutted, or torn down entirely.
