Plants do not "think". Plants respond to external stimulus and are not capable of intentional action.

As to what you think . . . it is truly an alternate reality . . .

Plants are eaten by Buddhist monks, because they think that plants do not think. They tend to believe that consuming plants is less harmful than eating animals, as plants are not considered sentient beings capable of suffering in the same way animals are. However, those monks, who practice not-thinking, have to perform special rituals before eating not-thinking plants.

Just have to share this one because it was so colorful and tasty!

Top: Green beans with sauteed almonds and scallions

Bottom: Russet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, rutabaga, leeks on a bed of brown rice with a touch of barley and hato mugi (special Japanese type of barley).

These days my main oils are coconut and olive.

Everything organic except for the rutabaga . . .

That was certainly not my intention. I thought you may also be interested in those bird facts: you were/are seemingly lucky to have spotted that specimen in the UK, so your shot is in itself a great feat. I like that bird, but I never noticed the variations in its singing mentioned in the article. I will need to listen more carefully.

EDIT: not sure why I assumed your shot was taken in the UK. I still like your hoopoe pic.

For such ceremonial shots, you need the sun, otherwise even a DSLR with its large sensor and high ISO will not allow you to get a decent result without Photoshop.
And this bird flies to me rarely and only in the rain.

Regards.

Yeah, growing what you need in the garden is not at all an easy task. And what is not necessary grows by itself on a bare stone.

A few years back, this fungus popped up in the woods by the creek. Its life-cycle lasted over several months. It was identified as a Ganoderma Curtisii a type of Reishi which is a very special 'shroom. The camera used is a Canon Powershot that probably cost less than $100. I just point and click.

A bad day for a Linux phone cam's HDR...

BlessN900's soft-HDR really had a bad day with this complexity and even more of the shots show these mirage like echoes. It increases the drama of the motive, so I kind of still enjoy those glitches.

An Overdose of IRC ... Get a Break!

A.k.a.: You have been weechatting far too long!

Shot with F(ranken)Cam on N900 and "long" exposure while moving the cam. I like how it is unfocused and that the text seems to float out of the screen in waves.

Edit 20230307: Strange! I had to recapture 2 of the 3 images again into archive.org and have no idea why they worked when posting them 1st. Archive.org has alzheimers? Until today I thought using archive.org would give nice permanent URLs to stuff... *sigh!*

I used to take photos of living creatures.
