Morticia's Delight!

TASTE is a funny thing. I found these blooms (Datura metel 'Black Currant Swirl', aka 'Downy Thornapple')to be luscious, but others in my midst were exclaiming that it was the UGLIEST, most SINISTER looking flower imaginable. And then they cringed!
--------
These three blossoms were not close enough to shoot together, so I resituated them after the fact. Two photos were used to create this image.
------------
Oh, by the way, all parts of this plant are poisonous, if ingested!

I have not yet seen anyone posing on the tracks for a shot...wow, some people...
Those trains move at incredible speeds between cities although if you want to get from LA to SF by train, you would get there faster by bus because the trains will often stop to let other trains go by...yet on that train ride north of Santa Barbara you will see coastline not accessible by autos... #8829821

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
