A mushroom with two common names, it is also known as the Poached Egg fungus. Very common, edible after washing to remove gluten. I've tried these and they're not worth the effort.

This was another kind gift from a neighbour. They started out as some tiny seedlings, and finally yesterday one of them popped out into flower. It is just a little flower at about 2cm across, but it just glows in the sun. Very appropriately named as a poached egg flower! Not sure what the botanical name might be.
(Update on ID. Thanks David Nice! Limnanthes douglasii)
OK, I admit it. I found three, roughly similar shaped pebbles on the beach and placed them on the nest of tangled seaweed, for a bit of fun, given I couldn't find more shapes within the sculpted 2-D black and silver sand. It's a Fascadale nest, laid by some sort of strange penguin

Macro Mondays group challenge for 14/08/17 - "High Key"
Stuck for which image to choose - again. This is 1 of 2 possibles but there are actually many more high key shots in the pipeline...
HMM to one and all. Another challenge that involved eating (some of) the subject matter!
After meeting two at Winston, it was time to "Poach" the East Helena local as it tore west by the searchlight signals with some nice EMD smoke.
I had originally not intended to post an image in today’s Macro Monday but yesterday, without any prompting, my wife came up with these poached pears to use up some that were neglected and going too soft to eat.
The pears are poached in sugary water, together with a few cinnamon sticks, cardomon and a couple of cloves! She also produced a homemade chocolate sauce using cocoa powder, milk, butter and sugar I think. We had a few last night with these left over for today. Really nice and yummy!
The area captured is less than 3” wide so adheres to the rules.

New to me, I've never heard of Poached Egg Daisies. So I found a field of poached eggs, indigenous to Central Australia.
An aggressive snowy egret had just faced down this reddish egret and intruded on its territory. It now has a wee fish in its beak as the reddish egret unhappily looks on. Merritt Island on 10/10/10.
The pixie dust industry is highly illegal, but very profitable, and Gargamel the troll is the best in the business. He has made a fortune capturing pixies, grinding them up, and selling the resulting dust.
Pixies are most often found in mushroom forests around magical ponds. They are very vain creatures and love looking at their own reflections in the pond.
Normally invisible to most creatures, gnomes are one of the few that can spot the flying fairies. Though not normally the industrious folk, Gargamel has a way of working with Gnomes to get them to catch the Pixes...
Once caught and put in their Pixe proof cages, Gargamel takes them to . . .

Hippos are the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos. Their feet have four-webbed toes that splay out to distribute weight evenly and therefore adequately support them on land, and their short legs provide powerful propulsion through the water. They have very thick skin that is virtually hairless except for the thick bristle-like hair on their heads and tails. The outer layers of skin are quite thin, making them prone to wounds from fighting. Their flat, paddle-like tail is used to spread excrement, which marks territory borders and indicates the status of an individual. Their powerful jaws are capable of opening up to 150 degrees revealing their enormous incisors.
Served with 'rosettes of ham' on the side, sprinkled with black pepper. I should imagine this dish would also be tasty served on an English Muffin ... or two.
With the aroma of freshly brewed coffee still in the air, this made the perfect breakfast dish.
Once a year event, Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chúxī (除夕) or "Eve of the Passing Year." Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year".
Fish stocks in Lake Oguemoué, Gabon, Central Africa, are dwindling due to uncontrolled over harvesting of undersized fish by local residents.
my tip?
i boil the water in a pot. once at boiling point I turn it off and add my egg (previously cracked into a small bowl to keep the yoke whole). then let it sit in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. perfect everytime!
i find the boiling action of the water destroys the eggs, lookswise.
Step 1
Crack the room temperature eggs directly or into separate bowls (this makes it much easier, and less risky transition when you pour the egg into the boiling hot water).
Step 2
Fill a large skillet with water, and add about 1/4 cup of organic vinegar.
Step 3
Heat the water until it reaches 180 degrees (do not boil, you want it to be just around a simmer). Once the water reaches the proper temperature, place red and yellow bell pepper rings into the hot water if you would like your eggs to be secure and keep their form and shape.
Step 4
Pour one egg into each pepper ring and allow to poach for 2 minutes. Remove remove the eggs from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Drain the eggs on a paper towel, and then spice and serve with your choice of veggies, potatoes or fries.
