Found this interesting collection of Panther Cap (Amanita pantherina) mushrooms today while out exploring between classes … reminded me of a single table and chair … wonder if it is reserved … Thanks to nevillecowan for identifying the mushroom. Note: Pantherina is poisonous and to some degree psychoactive. Be sure to check out the poem written specifically for this image. / Table for One – Poetry Classification / Kingdom: Fungi / Division: Basidiomycota / Class: Agaricomycetes / Subclass: Hymenomycetes / Order: Agaricales / Family: Amanitaceae / Genus: Amanita / Species: Amanita pantherina Location: Ware County, Georgia – USA Camera Info: Sony FD97

I am hopeless at fishing, though can be amused by the little slippy critters for hours! / The colours and shapes are just too much to ignore!
Yes, that very delightful illumination, the one I‘ve been searching for a long time, far and wide, the light indescribable and as elusive as ever. Like in this landscape, where the dark forest still drains its branches, just moments after the mean storm and the sun reappears cautiously in a quest to reclaim the heavens from the gloomy threat, highlighting the spots on the puffy clouds and the ground, randomly, or possibly in a pattern I can’t comprehend. The very luminosity that makes you start seeing things – around the ruin of an old house, behind the mysterious woods, between shy little clouds that float slightly above the tree tops and all the creatures that only need a good reason or a site like this to crawl out from your subconscious self, right from the deepest ends of your storytelling childhood memories. I know, I should get serious and meet my age specs, but with a scene like this before my eyes and a camera in hand, that may not be trivial, even worse, I may be too old to grow up now.

Taken at Havant Thicket, this Song Thrush was enjoying the dried meal worms that i put down for it. I was able to stand close to it and take some shots.

I believe this is some type of bromeliad, however, I could be wrong. Taken at a botanical garden in Sarasota, Florida. Other than taking out a few lighter spots, the image is as it was taken with my Nikon Coolpix P80.

Nikon D60 + OE There are about 100–110 species of Fuchsia. The great majority are native to South America, but with a few occurring north through Central America to Mexico, and also several from New Zealand, and Tahiti. One species, Fuchsia magellanica, extends as far as the southern tip of South America, occurring on Tierra del Fuego in the cool temperate zone, but the majority are tropical or subtropical. Most fuchsias are shrubs from 0.2–4 m (8 in-13 ft) tall, but one New Zealand species, Kotukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata), is unusual in the genus in being a tree, growing up to 12–15 m (39-49 ft) tall. / Fuchsia leaves are opposite or in whorls of 3–5, simple lanceolate and usually have serrated margins (entire in some species), 1–25 cm long, and can be either deciduous or evergreen, depending on the species. The flowers are very decorative, pendulous “eardrop” shape, borne in profusion throughout the summer and autumn, and all year in tropical species. They have four long, slender sepals and four shorter, broader petals; in many species the sepals are bright red and the petals purple (colours that attract the hummingbirds that pollinate them), but the colours can vary from white to dark red, purple-blue, and orange. A few have yellowish tones, and recent hybrids have added the colour white in various combinations. The ovary is inferior and the fruit is a small (5–25 mm) dark reddish green, deep red, or deep purple, edible epigynous berry, containing numerous very small seeds. Many people describe the fruit as having a subtle grape flavor spiced with black pepper.
This is the second lily that has bloomed in our garden, for spring, this year. It is mainly green and white (as not enough sun got to this lily). I have changed this to monochrome. I used a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera with a 35-70mm lens.
