Top left? I thought so!

a pretty lake on the way up to my friends Bryan and Julie's house a few weeks ago. still amazed that it came out, being that i took it with my cell and was on a moving express train........



edit: oh yeah i'm in northern NJ :)

zhukov, what's that leaf in the second pic from the top?

Hmm. Good question. I checked with my botanist friend at work, and the best he could come up with is that it's probably endemic to the area. Other than that, both he and I are in the dark. It's interesting though, isn't it? The leaf itself is contoured in such a way to maximise water collection - or that's what it looks like.

Second prize is some more pictures of plants from the Cradle Mountain area:

I wonder what that last one is.

A mushroom.

Uh huh.

I can't see the base of the stem. It could be this:

Or maybe this:

Not sure.

I know absolutely nothing about mushrooms, but I was just looking at a ID key website and I realize I really should have looked at the underside of the thing.

I also like the really spiky one.

I just know enough to be afraid of them.

Meeee toooooooo.

We re-watched all the Planet Earth and Blue Planet DVD's recently. Some of that stuff (the time-elapsed footage of parasitic fungi growing from the corpses of insects, for instance) which is absolutely amazing regularly is mind-blowing when you're high.

That's awesome.

I just have a few pictures from the mountains and Shuswap lake from this Summer's houseboat trip. Nothing overly exciting there. I'm more a fan of winter and trees than summer and mountains :\

I love mountains anytime, but I prefer spring/summer/fall as I tend to get uncontrollably unhappy in the winter.

I can't wait for the fall now that I've moved here. For the first few weeks I was down, I commented that "everything is so green here" so I look forward to everything being red and yellow and brown and orange.

The red, yellow, orange leaves do look aweseome, I've only ever seen green.

Well, in the wild. My nan has a Japanese maple that gets a deep red that I really like.

WV is beautiful in the fall.

I fucking love Fall and Winter. Dying and dead nature to me looks a lot more peaceful and serene than when it is covered with bugs and plant life and shit.

I look forward to our winter. can't come to work today, my cars stuck (and the fridge is full of beer).



well, I guess I'll have another few months before this shit comes.

How did you find where I live?! Did you trace my ISP or something?! :x

Hey miss Sparkles, what happens if a person harvests and eats your home? ^^;

Then they'd be doubled over with cramps and vomiting six hours later. My home is deadly poison.

Ah, I was wondering why there was a satellite next to that mushroom.

I'm even more stunned as to how the hell you found my vacation cottage as well. That place doesn't even have an Internet connection.

Your vacation cottage looks hallucinogenic o.o

Not wildlife by any means but this is where I've been living since May:

there are a few more layers of mountains but it's overcast today so they're invisible!
