Parasite part deux

September 5, 2011

Parasite part deux, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. This is an orchid labeled "cattleya", found growling on a strangler fig (ficos aurea, S. florida and West Indies). While I was standing her taking the photo, a giant, spent palm frond liberated itself from a nearby tree and plunged (some things just don’t waft!) SPLOOSH into the river. As it bobbed around, a huge beetle crawled frantically all over it, trying to figure out what...

Photo Friday: Sharp Focus

July 1, 2011

© Copyright 2010 MyMobileAdventures.com http://MyMobileAdventures.com Some more “messing around” with the macro focus on my Nokia N97. Man, I LOVE this phone These are TINY flowers on a plant found at Bowditch Point Regional Park on Fort Myers Beach, Florida. The people we saw photographing these identified them merely as “heliotropium” so I had a tough time isolating it even with a bazillion books at my disposal. Finally found it at this site: www.regionalconservation.org/beta/nfyn/plantdetail.asp?tx…...

Southwest Florida Scenery

May 31, 2011

© Copyright 2011 Tink *~*~* | http://MyMobileAdventures.com It’s been hot and sunny here in Southwest Florida. Late last week, the set-your-watch-by-it afternoon thunderstorm started to make appearances, although it’s not really consistent yet. Sometimes, friends on Sanibel Island say all they got was a lot of rumbling and a little spit; meanwhile, out here on the mainland, it’s pouring so hard, I can’t even see across the pond out back. Other days, they get...

Spring time in the Magic Kingdom, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Heading through the Rose Garden, which is in full bloom. It looks and smells heavenly, a sharp contrast to my last trip to theWorld back in March.

Slideshow: MORE from the Edison-Ford Winter Estates

May 6, 2011

© Copyright 2011 Tink *~*~* | http://MyMobileAdventures.com Here are some more photos from our great ramble around the Edison-Ford Winter Estates here in Fort Myers, Southwest Florida. The place was lively with school tour groups, flowering trees and shrubs bursting into bloom, bees bumbling, water fowl foraging – and mangoes dropping out of the trees. I like that you’re encouraged to walk on the lawns, and that it’s not that perfectly manicured golf course...

Slideshow: More Naples Botanical Garden

May 4, 2011

© Copyright 2011 Tink *~*~* | http://MyMobileAdventures.com Lots of times, while I am out adventuring, I take pictures faster than I can mobile blog them. I also sometimes take photos with a regular camera instead of my phone. There were a couple of times this happened today while my friend Christene and I were touring the Naples Botanical Garden in Southwest Florida. I decided to go through the photos that didn’t get mobile blogged,...
