Orion plants his left, then swings through with his right as he executes a turn while running free at full speed on scent in the forest near my home...

Weather-wise, the day was nice. While January was mostly cloudy and gloomy with drizzle, we've been remarkably snow-free, so far. I'll take it. One good day is one less chance for a bad one. The rest of the week looks more like a typical February, our worst Winter month for cold, snow and ice storms.

Jamie grabbed the torch from me to demonstrate a technique.

Prickly stems, a dead leaf, and graffiti all adorn this street hoarding to make a thing of beauty.

tiny plants at the water's edge

Surely one of the most alien-looking plants on the planet!

This is in the Temperate House at Kew Gardens.

Painting my kitchen today, "French Blue", which is probably an inappropriate color for a kitchen, but we like it.

Have a good weekend, and I will check your photos soon!

Something simple. The stems are just as nice as the flowers, aren't they!

The milk bottle is being used as a vase!

Just a couple of stems of grass

I was photographing some flowers the other week and by accident took a shot of the stems and this is what came out, I really liked the colours. I think it was a combination of stem, lily and iris.

The Stem of Bacteriophage model: the famous syringe like structure to attach on bacterial cell wall and inject its DNA into bacteria for replication of phage. An artistic piece made of glass to honor the scientist who made the discovery.

I just found the texture interesting. It kind of reminds me of a twisty Tim Burtonesk type landscape.

Took the opportunity to rootle through some dead stems looking for Bracken Club fungi. No joy again, but I did find these very cool miniscule fungi on fern stems.
