A color photograph featuring a woman and a man seated on what appears to be an outdoor ledge or platform. The woman, dressed in a black top with vertical stripes, is holding a plate of food while the man beside her sports a red polo shirt and dark shorts. They both have plates containing food items, possibly from a dining scenario such as a barbecue or picnic setup. In terms of context provided by the reference information, this image captures an atmosphere reminiscent of mid-20th century leisure activities in Florida during December 1954 at La Coquille Club, indicating that it is likely taken outdoors given its bright lighting and casual attire suited for warm weather.

Cthulhu tree stump in Florida
imgur.com/gallery/ocXcLUF

#trees #Cthulhu #Lovecraft #HPLovecraft #Florida #plants #monsters

A bizarrely twisted tree in a sunlit woodland clearing, surrounded by a carpet of dry brown leaves. The tree curls back down on itself, its thick branches snaking tightly around its own trunk and curling into the ground. The general appearance is beautifully monstrous, as though the branches were tentacles. A roughly circular scar on the bark where you might expect to see an eye, if this were a creature, strengthens its Cthulhu-like vibes. A few metres beyond it are ferns and upright trees.

Found this stump that looks like Cthulhus skull

Close up of a purple passion flower against a wall covered with the plant's many vines a green leaves. The unusually flower is circular with a dial type structure. There are numerous small purple peaks reach outward from the center. A thin blue lace type fixture provides another layer atop the purple petals. In the solid purple center trumpet and pinwheel style pieces in yellow reach outward. Beautiful and bizarre.
