THE LITTLE LANTERNS... PHYSALIS

PHYSALIS alkekengi or Chinese Lantern Plant, they are native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.
Popular for the papery bright-orange lantern pods that develop around the ripening fruit, these are often cut and used for Thanksgiving and Halloween arrangements.
Plants are aggressive spreaders, and best kept out of the perennial border so they don't take over.
Also can be grown in tubs.
Small white flowers appear in midsummer, over a bushy mound of coarse green leaves.
Pods are green at first, but should be harvested as soon as the orange colour develops, the leaves stripped then stems hung upside down to dry in a warm dark room.
Thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

I dream of
one spring day
lying in a field of hope and no more despair...
I dream of
a paradise
lost in the shades of golden tranquility...
yes my dear,
I’m a dreamer!
Not of could have been… or has gone
But of can be… or will become
It took me a long sleepless night...
Silent walk
But now... today, at this emotional moment…
I know,
I may be a man with dreams!
But not one who lives in one.
I dream of
That glorious moment, when
my dreams and ME… will become one!!!

It was pretty cool, I would recommend it if the weather is nice.

I took this shot a couple of days ago for MM's weekly challenge. I wasn't sure if it's acceptable for the theme. But now I want to try, as I'm not quite satisfied with my first contribution.
Having voted for 1 photo per week, I can't help adding my second image, haha :)
I'm also adding this image to Flickr Friday group.
So, this is my 'double contribution' :) Hope, you like it!
Ely Cathedral Octagon, Cambridgeshire.
In the early 14th century, the original Norman tower at the crossing of the cathedral collapsed due to structural problems, and it was decided to replace it with a new tower that would not only support the weight of the central spire but also serve as a decorative feature. The tower was designed to be both impressive and functional, providing additional structural support for the cathedral while also allowing more natural light to enter the building through its lantern structure.
Lanterns hang between the historic brick warehouses of Toronto’s Distillery District, framed against a modern residential tower rising behind them.
a Lyme Park folly in the mist.
The top part of this sandstone folly is believed to originally have sat above the north archway of the main house, and was probably placed on the hill next to the woods in the 1720s.
The view from the Lantern looks out over the park and the Cheshire plain. It also creates a line of sight that leads the eye from the Dining Room windows, over the gardens and to the east. It is said that if Lord Newton could see the Lantern clearly from the Dining Room, it was good enough weather for hunting....
Today is the Lantern Festival. Since it is the Year of Goat, the main lantern is a Golden Goat.
這是上週末去圓山台北燈節會場拍的花燈，今年是羊年，屬羊的我，拍了好多與「羊」相關的慶典，這隻金羊花燈，雖然沒有台中燈會的雄壯，但是也挺可愛的。
元宵節快樂～

Happy Lantern Festival to all of you! The golden cute pig is the main theme of the year of 2019. For Chinese, the pomegranate symbols a large family with many offspring and certainly the larger the better!

The Lantern Festival or the Spring Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. Usually falling in February or early March on the Gregorian calendar, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations.
The wintry haw is burning out of season,
crab of the thorn, a small light for small people,
wanting no more from them but that they keep
the wick of self-respect from dying out,
not having to blind them with illumination.
But sometimes when your breath plumes in the frost
it takes the roaming shape of Diogenes
with his lantern, seeking one just man;
so you end up scrutinized from behind the haw
he holds up at eye-level on its twig,
and you flinch before its bonded pith and stone,
its blood-prick that you wish would test and clear you,
its pecked-at ripeness that scans you, then moves on.
Seamus Heaney, The Haw Lantern
October 30th 2006
I've been thinking for a while how to portray that emotion.
I was going to break a transparent Lego part, despite the fact that I always was against breaking Lego for art when others did it. But at the moment I felt like it was the only point of time when it was a right thing to do. Anyway, I don't have a hammer, so I couldn't do it.
Then I bought and tried to break a light bulb. Nope, it's unbreakable without a hammer, unless you are willing to pick up the shards all over the floor. And trust me, you don't want a tiniest, thinnest, almost invisible micro glass shard stuck in your foot.
So I cut a piece of package plastic instead.
I can't really comment on it, and I won't even take one particular picture like I did last year, sorry, it's not because I changed my mind or forgot or something, it's just no longer possible.
