The dreamy seedy face of the Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota).
Bloom time is relatively long from late spring until mid-fall. Each flower cluster (Umbel) is made up of numerous tiny white flowers, which resemble lace and its root smells like carrots and are edible.
The flower cluster starts out curled up and opens to allow pollination. The cluster then rolls itself shut again, like a reverse umbrella when it goes to seed at the end of the season...truly remarkable flower with many faces.
The bright vibrant shopping facade masks a darker seedier side to town centre property.

It may look seedy, but it's an expensive corner on the Bowery and E. Houston Street that probably already has a high-priced real estate deal in the works. This wall looks like it's been stripped of the remnants of whatever was here before and then embellished with street art. The textures and color and the downtown "nun" just had so much attitude. -- February 28, 2020
It was a windy day and the pollen was blowing in the wind, lovely to see the webs covered in these seeds. HWW
There are a lot of terms that come and go in our society. I remember my dad referring to something that was really swell in his life when he was younger as something that was the “bee’s knees.” I am guessing that was a compliment.
Another term I haven’t heard for quite a while is for someone to be described as “living a seedy life” when they have strayed from the path of respectability.
But when it comes to the American Goldfinch, a seedy life is indeed what they do live. In fact, they are so much in love with seeds that they delay making nests and having young ones until mid-to-late July.
Why? Because they are a rare breed of birds that are almost entirely vegetarian and they wait until seeds are fully developed and plentiful. Even when they regurgitate food for their young they do not do so with insects like many other birds, but seeds instead.
My wife and I were out of our domicile before six o’clock yesterday morning and drove to the Irving & John Anderson County Park southwest of North Branch. It is a fairly new park that encompasses 404 acres of timber, tall prairie grasses and a number of wetland ponds.
The whole area was just coming alive when we first got there and I hiked to an observation platform and set up my tripod, something I rarely do, to follow a small flock of American Goldfinches that were flitting about. I liked the atmosphere around this one as it sat for about 3 seconds to allow the sun to warm his little body.

No one had ever heard of Innsmouth years ago. It was an ordinary seedy town, where everyone tries to leave at the first opportunity.
Perpetually cloudy weather, a meager catch of fish, divine services on Sundays, which were attended by old people smelling of fish. Innsmouth was slowly dying.
But one day one man changed everything.
He traded with distant islands and had brought gold, fish and other gods from there.
In the churches, completely different services began to be held, praising Dagon. Protestant and Methodist priests left the city, accusing the inhabitants of blasphemy and heresy.
And unimaginable creatures, ungodly shoggoths, have settled in the depressions and caves. The deep ones bring gold and fish to Innsmouth, and in return the inhabitants fatten these under town creatures.
Heh this was the biggest moc I ever done. And the most exhausting.
It is 119 pins long and over 50 wide.
I've been nurturing the idea of Innsmouth for over a year, inspired by the fishing village from Bloodborne DLC The Old Hunters. Here is also a white creature washed up on the beach, a reference to the Mother Kos.The concept has changed several times for this year. There was an unsuccessful version in the form of a fishing house. I started building this final version of Innsmouth in February and now, after almost five months, it is ready.
That's it, in the next couple of years I definitely won't aim at works of this size.
Also you can follow me in Instagram and see a lot of wip photos.
Pumpkin seeds, also known in North America as a pepitas (from the Mexican Spanish: pepita de calabaza, "little seed of squash"), is the edible seed of a pumpkin or certain other cultivars of squash.

Etta had (an expensive) weekend visit to the Vet today ... I think just the visit made her feel better :)
Iknow, I know...dandelions are a pain to the gardener.
BUT
close up, they really are rather neat.
Please view on black for maximum scrumptiousness
HSS ... Over processed, blown out sky, not framed properly, but I really like this one ... Reminds me of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album cover ...
having taken too many stationery shots lately, i escaped yesterday afternoon from my office to walk around the neighborhood a bit. as it's in the center of the city, you see mostly concrete, cars and signs, but there are little scattered surprises.
i used a texture again! this one is max f. william's the dead marshes from his layered textures set.

There will probably be another attempt on a day when there are absolutely no cars. This was on a Sunday morning and there was still a van out of the frame. Maybe Christmas or Easter?
