Some cool Regional images:
Mimulus flowers, probably, from front, Mission Trails Regional Park
Image by Martin LaBar
Red flowers, perhaps an inch/3 cm high, taken in Mission Trails Regional Park, San Diego County, California, USA. More detail at the larger sizes. I didn’t see the insect in the flower on the left side until I looked at the photo on the computer. I like the shadows of the reproductive parts, which are on the lower petals.
For a side view, see here.
Based on the comments from the ID Please group, this is probably an example of Mimulus. Thanks.
The "magic donkey" algorithm that selects the "most interesting" photos is fickle, but, as of 3:30 AM, PDT, May 2, this photo ranked number 7 for April 27th, so far as I know, the highest rank one of our photos has ever achieved. Thanks, viewers! Isn’t God a great artist?
Shakespeare Regional Park, Auckland, North Island, NZ

We took a 2-3 hour walk up into the hills of Shakespeare Regional Park. It sits on the coast and has a great view of Auckland City from across the water. It was towards the end of the holiday and it was nice to get some last minute sun and fresh air. The yellow and green rolling hills, coast line and sea were all awesome to shoot; I was just annoyed I had so little space left on my camera!

Ontario Regional BEH-1900D C-GORF
Image by caribb
A Blast from the Past: This was my first flight inside a small propeller passenger plane… A Beech 1900D which I thought from the out side was an ugly little thing…. but…. after flying it I ended up loving it!! It was roomy (I could stand up straight)… fast (especially taxiing & on take off), had huge windows and it gave me the real thrill of flying…so now it’s my favorite small plane circa 1999.
*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Beech 1900D
Manufacturer: Beech (USA)
Main Role: small capacity, short range regional propeller aircraft
Basic design: twin engined bottom fuselage mounted, single aisle narrow-body propeller airplane.
Photo: A old photo of the inside of C-GORF Ontario Express’ BEH1900D showing the rounded high ceiling and large windows.. This is a rugged popular small capacity regional plane used widely on very short hops out of major airports around the world. It’s noisy, small, actually pleasant inside, having these very large passenger windows and barrels down the runway like a bat out of hell.. you get a real sense of "flying" when you take one of these planes.
