Golden Fairy Mushrooms
Available as Print, framed, art or canvas at ArtPal
Rain Dancers
I think these are fairy mushrooms. The only safe way to tell if they are is to run around it nine times. If you hear the fairies dancing and frolicking underground then it's a group of fairy mushrooms. But, this must be done under a full moon, and must run around in the direction of the sun. If you circle the ring a tenth time you will turn into a mushroom, so don't do that. That's what I did. Takes a while to wear off too. I have to stand in the rain and look straight up to turn back. Another tip. Also wear your hat backwards while doing this so you don't get bit by a fairy. Yes, some of them are ankle biters. There report cards say don't play well with humans. :)

Figs are Round. Fig photograph of a rip fig by Rybird
That heavenly fig, the food of the gods, sacred to Dionysus Sukites, And represented peaceful values of King Soloman. from 1 Kings 4:25
25 And Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon. “That beautiful phrase for a time of secure enjoyment of modest, material good in a simple state of agricultural society, ‘dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree’ occurs frequently in the Old Testament, and breathes the very essence of a calm life of rural felicity and restful enjoyment of wholesome joys. How different from the feverish ideal predominant in our great cities to-day! Which is the nobler and the more likely to yield abiding content and to be the ally of high and serious thought-this antique picture of leisurely, unambitious lives, or the scramble for wealth which destroys repose, and is so busy getting that it has no time either rightly to enjoy, or nobly to expend, its wealth? Those who have their country’s truest prosperity at heart may well sigh for the return of the vanished ideal of Solomon’s days; and those who would make the most of themselves must in some measure seek to conform their own lives to it.” Maclarens Expository. |
Plaple the plant people..
PlapleWelcome Plaple the plant people. They are from Plapleon and are he first alien life forms on No. 57.
They are fighting a terribe battle against both man and machine. The mower and herbicide are their enemy and they need help. Donate fertilizer and water to help these little green men. You can drop these off in any dirty area as dirt is thier friend. Many consider these aliens to be an invasive species and have resorted to calling them derogatory names like weeds. But they are our friends as they hold the ground together and prevent erosion. You can help. Say No to Mow. and support weeds, I mean, Plaple. And vote Yes for Plaple rights this November.

Plants do have a soul. It is a compound soul. While it is not completely understood, some are beginning to wonder if the human is a compound soul also. "The compound soul is an important idea to consider. Each atom of our body, and every cell, each having their own life. Indeed, ....all the cells are each in themselves composed with their own life force, so the human soul is an aggregate of these life forces. The nature of human evolution is then to congeal these life forces into one unified structure." From Scientific Illuminism by Paul Joseph Rovelli"

Black Swallowtail Butterfly photo by Rybird.
Papilio troilus, the spicebush swallowtail or green-clouded butterfly, is a common black swallowtail butterfly found in North America. It has two subspecies, Papilio troilus troilus and Papilio troilus ilioneus, the latter found mainly in the Florida peninsula. The spicebush swallowtail derives its name from its most common host plant, the spicebush, members of the genus Lindera. This is the Papilio troilus troilus. Typically, the wingspan of a spicebush swallowtail ranges from 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm). Adults are primarily black/brown in color, with a trademark green-blue (male) or bright blue (female) splotch in the shape of a half moon on the hindwings. The forewing has a border of cream-colored, oval spots. In the middle portion of the wing, the spots can be moon shaped and a light blue in color. Both sexes have cream-yellow moon-shaped spots on the edges of the hind wings and a bright, orange spot at the base of the wings. In females, the orange spot at the base of the wings will turn a greenish-white shade in summer, but not the spring.
On the underside of the hind wing, there will be a dual row of orange spots, which distinguishes it from the pipevine swallowtail, which only has a single row of spots. In between these rows, there is more blue or green coloring. Wiki

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. ~Auguste Rodin. More nature photographic art below.
