    Nice @monadnocky. You are correct.

    A little deeper research -
    Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora), a saprophytic native wildlflower. Saprophytes have no chlorophyl and thus do not make sugar and starch through photosynthesis but rather gain all the nutrients they need by absorbing them through their roots from decaying organic matter.

    If the process is more important than the result, you play. If the result is more important than the process, you work.

    The really nutty thing is that people are consuming them because they reportedly have a psychedelic effect, despite being mildly toxic.
    It's an urban myth, but nutters keep eating them despite the subsequent nausea. The psychedelic qualities are presumably due to expectancy effect only.

    I can't identify that flower, but what an incredible display.

    Spathodea campanulata, African tulip tree(aka fountain tree, pichkari or Nandi flame). they're scattered throughout SB area in small numbers, native to tropical dry forests of Africa.

    I did not take this pic so mods delete if not appropriate here. From the Creek Fire burning in the CA Sierra Nevada Mtn, 80,000 acres and no containment, pyrocumulonimbus cloud which look like explosions from a distance, are fire-driven weather systems causing lightning(generate their own lightning) to strike areas downwind along with erratic and gusty surface winds. CA is experiencing record heat throughout the state, 100 in San Francisco and 121 in Woodland Hills just outside LA yesterday, 9/6. 2020 has been a really fucked year on so many levels.

    We've had a houseboat on this lake for 25 years. Each morning I grab a drink, binoculars and a book and go up top to watch this scene play out. The last couple of years, these two cousins never fail to join me. The photo/memory puts a smile on my heart and the scenery is breathtaking.

    Default Washed Out

    Woodland Hills (think Brady Bunch house) recorded the highest temperature on the planet on Sunday, 121 degrees. A couple of hours south, San Diego had a record high of 100. I took this flicka on Monday when the temperature plummeted to the low 70s and the marine layer spread as far as the eye could see.

    There is only one Grand Central Station because there is only one New York City.

    Sadly, this was taken today at what should be rush hour 5 PM. It looks like Sunday at 8 am.

    If there is any greatness to be again, it will be right here in NYC.

    I came home yesterday to find a snake in the driveway with a frog in its mouth.

    Unfortunately I continue to be unable to upload photos to the Salon.
