genitals and plants

We tend to think of plants as being innocent but consider their private parts. We don't view our own genitals as being innocent--witness how much effort is made to keep them hidden.


So how can you view the balls of a pine, seen above, as being okay for children to see? Hell, the picture below nearly makes me blush it's so lush and naughty. Perhaps we should be censoring nature in addition to our art museums and magazine stands. Just a thought...

What effort??? Huh?!?!?

I'm against censorship, but nature is the least of my worries when considering what else is out there these days.

My oh my! Someone's thoughts took quite the turn today. The iris is reminiscent of an O'Keefe painting. Amazing.

The iris is gorgeous, no matter what it is showing...LOL

How about the bird of paradise. It even has a slit, through which the flower protrudes.

I can practically hear Dana Carvey's Church Lady clucking. Great post, Dave - you infused some incredible photos with some major laughs. I wish I had your gift.

I think your choice of words will get the search engines' tongues wagging. Cool!

Gorgeous my dear...Just absolutely Gorgeous! I wouldn't censor that EVER! I'd sooner censor Donald Trump who has such balls they clang every time he moves, only they have have a tinny ring because they surely aren't brass! (lol)

Seriously beautiful, Dave.

Beautiful iris.... yes, it does look a bit "naughty" doesn't it? Who cares with that purple color!

The Iris picture is beautiful. And lush and naughty now that you mention it.

I notice the sacred geomentry found in plant life now that I, obsessively, take pictures of them.

I've been noticing the past month or so how the pine trees have a contrast in color where the new growth meets the old growth. It's a pretty effect, almost like how they frost the ends of trees on the Christmas cards. It's mostly noticeable at night. I wish I had your skill with photography and could capture it.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
