The movie was Raintree County. Released in 1957 starring Montgomery Clift
and Elizabeth Taylor. Was considered a flop because it lost money.

Yeah, but I’m still trying to figure out if it should say, “math” instead of “maths”.

Charlie

Pretty sure “maths” is a British colloquialism for mathematics.

Nice Cannas, my parents always had those at one end of the garden.
Here is a much smaller flower, about the size of a pencil eraser, a tiny Frog Fruit bloom magnified a few times.

John, I can't decide if the stump creature looks more like a type of Primate or maybe a Barn Owl. Good one!

[Quick Steel]

The Stump Creature has got me stumped. But it looks like the basis of a good sci-fi movie.

Absolutely gorgeous ❤ ♥ loving every one of your photos.
