71. Parasite


You are thinking... she is still stuck on the abstract expressionists right? May be Pollock? Well maybe...but this is actually a plant, a parasitic plant called dodder. The scientific name being Cuscuta Californica. It is considered a noxious weed by most - a plant that has no need to photosynthesize on its own because is sucks the life out of any plant it attaches itself to. It is oddly beautiful (like fine orange spaghetti) sprawled out along the top of sage plant on the hiking trail. Beautiful, but deadly.
