Shaggy Ink-Cap (Coprinus Comatus) fungi mushroom. As the cap matures it deliquesces into an inky black fluid. This specimen was found by the side of a path in deciduous woodland. Photo taken at Potteric Carr nature reserve, Doncaster, South Yorkshire in mid October. Camera: Nikon D300 Lens: Nikon Af-S Ii 400mm F2.8 If-Ed with 2x teleconverter. Support: Manfrotto monopod 680B Maybe not the ideal setup for this kind of photography but I was after bird photos on the day! I use my photos as inspiration and reference for my paintings which can be seen at: www.stevegreaves.com
Found a new population of this rare plant.

Milt Kobayashi was born in New York and started his career as an illustrator. His paintings are startlingly personal and raw, and though calm, there always seems to be something of the survivor in his models, they all seem to be dwelling in their own thoughts and memories. "For inspiration, I will memorize scenes, store them in my memory and then distill them down to the most important elements. It may be a shadow, a scene from a movie, or the way light hits the face of a stranger walking down the street. Relying on memory as opposed to copying a scene or event stimulates the creative process. In this manner, you only reproduce what has stuck with you, that is to say, the essential ... your memories and fantasies are freed from the tyranny which nature holds on them." Milt Kobayashi

Money Plant is a biennial that is grown for the silvery white, flattened, disc-like seed pods. Plants bloom with clusters of lavender flowers in spring and make pods second summer after seeds are sown. It is these coin-shaped pods that make it attractive in dried arrangements. GARDEN HINTS: To dry seed pods; cut when fully developed, bunch and hang stems upside down in an airy place until completely dry, 2-3 weeks. Remove brown husks on sides of seed pod by gently rubbing between thumb and finger.
