Common Names: Kapok, Ceiba, Silk-cotton tree / Genus: Ceiba Species: pentandra The Kapok tree is an emergent tree of the tropical rainforests, and is often described as majestic. It can grow to a height of 150 feet or more, towering over other trees in the rainforest.

The Thistle – The Flower of Scotland. The story goes the English were planning to attack a Scottish camp at night. They started to advance on the sleeping Scots but one of the Englishmen crawled into a Thistle and gave out a yell thus alerting the Scots to the coming attack. The Scots managed to gather their wits about them and fend of the attack. From that moment onwards the Thistle has been the national flower.

This macro shot shows the pattern of lines inside a cactus plant. The mix of green and red evoke an intersting emotion of ying and yang. Taken with a 70mm macro and 1:1 life size converter at ƒ3.2.

The hug is one of the most common human signs of love and affection, along with kissing. Unlike some other forms of physical intimacy, it is practiced publicly and privately without stigma in many nations, religions and cultures, within families, and also across age and gender lines. Sometimes, hugs are a romantic exchange. Hugs may also be exchanged as a sign of support and comfort. A hug can be a demonstration of affection and emotional warmth, sometimes arising out of joy or happiness at meeting someone. Brief in most cases, it is used to show many levels of affection. It is not particular to human beings alone, as there are many species of animals that engage in similar exchanges of warmth. Hugging has been proven to have health benefits. One study has shown that hugs increase levels of oxytocin, and reduce blood pressure. There are different variations of hugs. Prolonged hugging in a cozy, comfortable position is called cuddling]. Spooning is a cuddling position, a kind of hugging when both the hugger and the hugged persons face the same direction, i.e., the front of one person is in contact with the back of the second one.

’ Poison Ivy’ / Copyright Otilee Photography / Post: Otilee / Co-direction: Constance & Otilee / Concept / Styling / Wardrobe design: Constance / MUA: Constance / Hair: Otilee / Model: Christie ... bit of a different one for me. I don’t usually shoot where I don’t also have the creative control with the concept and wardrobe but Constance wanted to try out some crazy feather makeup action for her MUA portfolio and went nuts creating the high fashion ’ poison ivy’ concept around it. Talented minx that she is also designed and whipped up some outfits of hotness to dress our model with and I think she did a fabbbhulous job! :D
This amazing little fellow is some kind of Leaf Hopper…still awaiting a positive ID from BugGuide.net. / My son (of course) found it crawling up the stem of a dandelion. / Found in NE Missouri at a park that I visit sometimes inside a city. A great little appreciated location to enjoy nature. / I’ve never seen a bug with these kind of spikes…and all the leaf hoppers I’ve seen were tiny. This guy was a little over 1/4 an inch…and possibly still a juvenile.
The native New Zealand Cordyline Australis aka Cabbage Tree and having the maori name of Te Tii. Named Cabbage Tree because the soft heart at the base of the leaves is reminiscent of cabbage. I’ve tried it and its much nicer than cabbage. This tree is actually a gigantic member of the dracaena family. / This photo has been given a single photo psuedo hdr treatment then layered with a grain merge texture. / Panasonic Lumix FZ5
A flower spider on a dandelion, in my garden in the mountains of Mae Hong Son province, Thailand.
This is a different perspective of a succutent plant. It almost looks alien and it is one of my favourite shots.
