Happy St David’s Day

Daffodils for St David’s Day

St. David’s Day is March 1st and St. David is the Welsh Patron Saint. It’s like St. Patrick’s Day, except the Welsh get together and sing and read poetry. It doesn’t have the same marketing appeal as drinking green beer does. But, as a person of Welsh heritage, it’s important to me. The daffodil is one of the symbols of Wales. (like the shamrock is for the Irish)

Filtered Flowers 1

I don’t usually use filters with my iPhone shots. There are so many of them and they seem gimmicky to me. But I was playing around with them, seeing how they worked and so on. I thought these were nice enough. Don’t think I’ll keep using them, but I thought I would share.

Aminita Muscaria

Aminita Muscaria

I saw these two out on a hike in the mountains. The aminita muscaria always has fascinated me … they have an almost magnetic visual appeal. Back in the late ’70’s I knew a guy that claimed he ate them. Said they made him awfully sick, but that the visions were worth it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he died young.
