One of the world’s most deadliest snakes – the Coastal Taipan
One tree all on its own in the middle of nowhere.

It’s hard to look poised while eating a mouse.

The turkey vultures from Cuba I saw these birds flying high in the sky in most areas but to high to capture a image even with the strongest of lens when came the visit to the mountains my luck was finally in when I saw them perched on this tree… Turkey Vulture is an excellent flyer. It endlessly soars with wings held in V-shape and teetering from side to side. It performs infrequent wing beats, taking advantage of raising thermals. / Wing beats and take off are laborious, but it soars very easily. It is able to glide during six hours without any flapping. Part of the Cuban experience… (-:

POISONOUS – do not eat! / Atropa belladonna or Atropa bella-donna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae. The drug atropine is produced from the foliage, which along with the berries are extremely toxic, with hallucinogenic properties. The species is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and has become naturalized in parts of North America. In areas where it has become naturalized it can often be found in shady, moist areas with a limestone-rich soil. The name bella donna is derived from Italian and means “beautiful woman”;[1] it was once used by women to enlarge the pupils of their eyes.[2]

This is a fairly old shot, we had this extremely dead tree in our back yard, so I shoved my camera inside of it, and this is what it looked like, I loved all the textures, light and shadows. I thought it looked way better in black and white, so that is what I did. Just something new for me to share. I hope you all like it! Thanks so much for looking and commenting! =)smile
I went to the Salmon Run the last year. Firstly, I was disappointed that I saw NOT ONE SINGLE salmon do anything but swim or just lay there being eaten by birds. There was no running involved. I thought I was going to see salmon doin the darwin. / So. / Seems every year for as long as there’ve been salmon, they’ve been swimming upstream, spawning and dying. To the population of Victoria BC and some off season tourists it’s quite a site to witness. We went a little late in the season and caught the tail end of it where the river is teeming with dead salmon carcasses and scavenger birds. lots of interesting photo ops. when we got to the lodge I found the most interesting of finds. It seems a macabre tradition to allow (and even encourage) children to cover dead salmons in paint and make prints on large white pieces of paper. / A true homage to the beauty of nature, don’t you think? These solemn creatures fight all odds to procreate and end up covered in paint. I heard one kid remark “This is SUCH a good idea!” / Indeed. / I’ve decided that this is how I want to be remembered. Burial is so passe, cremation is kinda cool but who’s ashes are they REALLY? George Carlin once said he wanted to be stuffed full of dynamite and blown up. I was favouring that idea until now. When I die, I want to be laid naked on a table, covered in paint and made a print of. I can be wiped down and redone until everybody has their own, artistic interpretive print of me to do whatever they want with it. / A fitting tribute to the cycle of life and not in the least degrading.
Sitting at home all alone, looking around for a suitable subject to photograph I had to look no further than my kitchen table. / Did someone said that golden grapes do not exist ?
A robin on the attack for me. Thank you for reviewing and your time.
Hopefully Spring will come soon and the daisies in my garden will bloom again… I want spring sooo badly! Enjoy!

The title simply and very loosely translated means “slump,” or “fallen.” / This tree was off to the side of the trail that we were hiking while in Norh Carolina this past week. This was probably one of the hottest most humid days I experienced while we were there. In the shade of the forest canopy, it was stifling!! Finally when we reached the lake did we get a reprieve with a breeze!! / / Thank you for viewing my work!!! If you like what you see here, have a peek at the rest of my work.

I am supposed to be gardening… as the weather is fine and the weeds have taken over during Winter….. but pretty much anything is a distraction and this dead leaf and burnt brick from the BBQ were distraction enough. Funny how the oddest of things appeal to me sometimes as art. I am guessing this is from the Lemon Tree by the way.
This tree was at a place in Yellowstone National Park at a pull out. It must have died sometime ago since there was just a little bark left on the tree. It must have grown slanted like that because it looked like it might fall over, but there it stood. I liked the look of the tree with the landscape behind and the blue sky with the clouds.
