perhaps closer to home, in fact just outside my front door,
here is one of my delphiniums, just beginning to open up
and here is the monkshood in my front yard, its flowers still months away, though this year it's already a huge plant. The "bush" you see below is actually about three feet tall and perhaps two feet wide. It's taken a liking to our yard for sure.
someday I'll learn how to concoct a potion from these plants. Also in my garden are foxgloves - the following is an example of a happy camper
which I've read are necessary in the mixing to counteract the acidic qualities of monkshood thus allowing the experience of the sabbat. oh, nevermind.
and since one cannot be blackmetal without including a wetland photo, here is the creek that runs alongside my home (we call it flicker creek, a flicker of course being a type of woodpecker -- the largest woodpecker that frequents our feeders):
here is a picture of my bleeding heart flower, looking mighty handsome
and this nest belongs to two crows and is located about four hundred feet up a six hundred feet tower (which is near downtown Seattle, not too far from my home)
at any rate, that is where I live. as above, so below.
