Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and faves. They are greatly appreciated!
I have no idea what I have here. I was just getting in a little playtime, throwing effects at a pic. You know, stuff I couldn't do with film and paper in a darkroom.
But I like it.
Seen on the Forvie NNR Scotland, growing in the sandy soil in the dunes.

Was really pleased to see this species, as it wasn't until August that I saw any last year! There were dozens of them in a conifer hedge!

The kidney bean with its dark red skin is named for its visual resemblance to a kidney. The kidney bean is also known as the red bean, although this usage can cause confusion with other red beans. Red kidney beans (rājmā in Hindi and Punjabi) are an integral part of the cuisine in northern region of India.

Pakistan Kidney Sellers Association Chairman, 25-year-old Pakistani Iqbal Zafar (3R) and three other villagers, show their scars after they each sold a kidney to pay off debts in Sultan Pur, Pakistan. As the illegal kidney trade gets rampant in Pakistan, the country's legal experts are giving final touches to a draft law that will curb the dirty business said senior official on Sunday 29 January 2006. The money earned by the poor donors is used for a variety of purposes including marriages, house building, loan repayments, drug abuse or simply to have a good time. Many Pakistani hospitals, which provide transplant facilities, have hundreds of donors listed with them, offering a transplant to anyone who can pay 5,000 to 6,000 dollars. EPA/OLIVIER MATTHYS
We're still treating Darla's kidney disease with subcutaneious fluids and a special diet. Although she doesn't look too happy here, she is doing fantastic. The strange thing is that Darla has never been that interested in any kind of food but I don't know if its the fluids or the special diet, but she's the first one running to the bowl lately.
Not seen so many of these this year, so it was nice to find one on Sunday!
