Colour and Light

I finally remembered to take my camera with me yesterday when I went for a walk. It was a very sunny early autumn day and my usual route took me about twice as long. Here are some of the reasons why.



























I have a few more photos here in my scrapbook

Please don't repost, alter or otherwise use these photos without my permission. Thank you.

Fluffy flowers. I like that, it sounds cute. That's what I'm going to call them from now on.

Phear my mad botany skillz! That's Borretsch, or borago officinalis, "borage" in English (or so Leo tells me). It's edible. But please don't take my word for it and go pluck it and stick it in your salad, because I only have your pictures to judge from and it could still be some kind of poisonous weed I've never seen in any lecture. (I'm pretty sure it's borage, though.)

Despite the "officinalis" bit, I don't think I've ever heard of it having any pharmaceutic properties. Hm. I'm too lazy to look it up right now :p


But I think "fluffy flowers" sounds a lot prettier :)

Well look at me being so proud of actually learning stuff at university that I completely forgot to mention I also love you pretty pretty pictures. I do. Especially the first one an the last two, and also the close-up of the read leaf.

Yay for your mad botany skills. Interesting. I think I will still stick with fluffy flowers, though. It's way easier to remember. ;)
