Point and shoot - things to photograph

[Paul B]

Love the shooting star (Dodecatheon media) its one of my favorite flowers.

All the flowers are blooming in waves this year as we get rain, then warm sun, then rain. Hope she gets more soon as I am starting to see more varieties starting up now. It's one of my favorites too Paul. I am still a sucker for lupine as well. Used to pick those for my mom as a kid. Used to try and brighten up her days like that

 

[Paul B]

Cool. I like the intricate flower, another is Dicentra spectabilis.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The bleeding heart? Very pretty

 

[Paul B]

Indeed.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

They call it an Indian Paint brush up here. It's actually one of my favorites. But I am not so sure. Our plants are a little stout like this picture. And the Indian Paintbrush you see further east is a taller and single stemmed. Still trying to find more on it. I am not great with proper plant latin names.

 

[Paul B]

Cool.

ps, Botanical or Scientific names, not Latin, some are Greek origin etc Just sayin....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sorry, scientific... Like I said.. I have a hard time with all that... Working on it, but I think the hard drive in my head is full or something

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Come to think of it, I had a problem with Greek too. She and I just could not put it all together together.. Went our separate ways....

 

[Paul B]

ha!

Bigfoot Sighting

Wait 'till after 8 - toss in some drinks, 'shrooms or a few hits, and I can see why the Bigfoot reports still come in.

[MasterBlaster]

Good post, Mario. I can see the spooky fella!

Green hair is pretty cool, wonder why it never evolved?

 

[Fiddler]

Sort of had Jay if you consider the symbiotic relationship between a sloths hair and algae which gives the hair a greenish tint.

It may share some traits of the Chameleon, changing color to blend with the surroundings.

Don't need much imagination to see that big foot.

Walking through the woods you know eyes are watching you all the time.

Went for a short camp trip to Fort Ebey WA, got a few shots I think are kinda neat.
Spot the Madrone, one of Gary's flyboys, mostly landscape shots.

That's why I would always pack serious heat.
