Teasles

“Dipsacus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Dipsacaceae. The members of this genus are known as teasel or teazel or teazle.” says Wikipedia. I’d just like to add Teasle to the list of accepted spellings.

Atticus in the park

It’s supremely difficult juggling an expensive digital camera, a vintage Kodak Duaflex IV and a hyper-active, squirrel-crazed schipperke. However, occasionally he does stand still and lets me take a shot like this.

El Condor Pasa

If indeed it is a condor. This photo’s here because I liked it being a shot from above or the same height as this bird. It’s taken from the top of La Quemada, ruins in Zacatecas.

Alondra’s Agave Specs

Taken on the Tequila Diploma day trip last year, near Tequila, Mexico, natch.

Guardian of the Pitayero

On the way to Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexico there are more than a few of these goat (?) skulls perched on gates. Didn’t scare us off though. We’re used to seeing them floating in the middle of soups in San Juan de Dios market food court…

Agaves and Cacti near Tapalpa

I don’t think it’s an Agave Tequilana, but I’ve been wrong before.
*edit* It’s “Agave americana var. expansa” thanks, Dra. Ana Valenzuela! */edit*
