It's ABC Wednesday again and I want to share my Images for the letter I!
Imagine being able to see this lovely Impala on your morning stroll!
Or happen upon the Imperial Moth!
And there is the plant I didn't know anything about until today and I found it so interesting!
Monotropa uniflora, also known as the Ghost Plant, Indian Pipe, or Corpse Plant is a herbaceous perennial plant, formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae, but now included within the Ericaceae. It is native to temperate regions of Asia, North America and northern South America, but with large gaps between areas.[1] It is generally scarce or rare in occurrence.
Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll. Instead of generating energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, more specifically a myco-heterotroph.
And those are just a few of the lovely things that inspired my post for ABC Wednesday.

A highly interesting post from "all over the world". I must say I envy you that impala-shot!
PS Thank you for the nice comment!
You always have such wonderful photos and an interesting post.Thank you for sharing and showing.
They certainly look corpse-like! But the impala is very much alive!
That impala shot is amazing!
Very intriguing post - love your photos!
In the words of Henny Youngman from Laugh In...."Veddy Interesting!!"
wow a plant without chlorphyl?
Beautiful photos. I always learn something from your posts, and enjoy visiting every time.
That Ghost plant is aptly named and beautiful in its own way. Love the moth photo also with with the bright flowers.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Some beautiful shots there. I particularly like the Impala.
Enjoyed your post Sylvia. Had never heard of the ghost plant and how spooky it is :)
wow! magnificent post! I had forgotten my Indian pipe photos from my woods, so I'm glad you covered it.
Wow. What a great picture of an Impala. I love it. Brilliant.
Thank you for your I post. I was struck by the first photo and the 'y' image made by the antlers.
amazing pics! the impala is actually posing for you! lovely capture!
The impala is very beautiful, of course, but I can't decide if my personal favourite is the plant or the moth! I do love moths, but that plant is amazing! Gorgeous photos.
Thank you for visiting my blog and saying such nice things! :)
Wonderful Impala shot!! The Imperial Moth is a great shot also. Never heard of the ghost plant but thats a good name for it.
Interesting post and impressive photos. A wonderful visit.
Wow! Great shots for 'I'.
I felt the Impala was admiring me. ;)
Sylvia;
I have heard of the corpse plant but never saw any. It certainly is an unusual plant! Your Impala was beautiful... and an Impala was my boyfriend's (now husband's) first car! We loved that car.
Wow, these are fantastic, Sylvia! Impalas are such beautiful creatures. The corpse plant is very interesting, but I don't think I'll be planting any in my garden:)
Wow! what glorious beauty! Thanks for the wonderful "I" post!
beautiful shots .. a post independent of its confines :)

I love all your photos!
I had never heard of this strange and
incredible

A very interesting post indeed. Didn't know about the ghost-plant either. Lovely impala.

I can not help a feeling about your energy, I think your mind and soul is very energetic. I hope, you feel in that way yourself :)
Thank you for your comment!
I have been a gret Greece fun since my first journey there 28 years ago! I hope, that I will get at least once again there.
I have much shorter way than you have !
