Ornamental Kale
I spent a little time this morning in historic Duluth. Jeremy and I met some long time tweeps, checked out an eight week oil painters class, and just enjoyed a quiet morning on a street that wouldn’t be so deserted on a Saturday afternoon if it weren’t for the rain. Planted up and down the street is ornamental kale. I never expected that healthy green to have a sexy side. I may have to plant some of the Brassica oleracea in my garden at home this season.
Beautiful spirals.
Rich purples and magenta mix in the buds.
Ornamental Kale
Also delicious in salad??
Wavy leaves
The rain washed these leaves, colors expressed vividly.
Lovely gradient.
The tips were all white and flowery on the mature ones.
Can you say beautiful salad?
McDaniel Farm Park
Yesterday, Jeremy and I, along with my friend Rachael, spent some time at my favorite local park, McDaniel Farm Park! :) The weather was chilly and moist but I’ve been itching to go out into the daylight.
We found a mushroom and I loved just juxtaposing it with some natural / manmade texture.
Can you tell how old this tree was at cutting?
Floating pine needles and a hint of life underneath.
Love the patterns in nature. Chaos and order all together.
Little Panaeolina foeniseci
I think we found some termites.
Aren’t those little ribbed insides just adowabbew
Gross and pretty all at once?
So much new life is rooted in death.
So this is murder spider. We named him so because around him were two dead daddy long legs, and he was chasing down another that had 3 legs missing.
Move b*tch get out the way, get out the way, get out the way! :p
Mushrooms Lichen, and Fungi, Oh My!
Not the best picture but the leaf looked like a bird in a branch!
Water is so calming when it’s still. This is my desktop background right now. :)
Totally white day outside.
An old nest discarded by its previous inhabitants. Put it back up after admiring it!
