Before my 6 mile hilly run this evening, I took this picture of something called Pokeweed. It has begun to develop berries. They are poisonous to mammals. Birds eat the berries, but their hard seeds remain in tact within their digestive systems. The seeds do not remain in this state in mammals and are therefor toxic. I have Photo-shopped this image to be much brighter in color. A tree has been removed from the lower left and replaced with more sky.
Shortly before finding the pokeweed growing near my garden, I took this picture of a weeping willow tree. With a bit of "stretched imagination" one might see the famous Horse-Head nebulae in the Constellation of Orion!
This celestial object is just barely visible to the naked eye. It is located in the "sword" just underneath Orion's 3-star "belt." This is the Horsehead nebula.
