I'd never been too happy with shots I took of this wildflower from the sunflower family. There were only three of these flowers out, and I got the idea to shoot one of them with a small, white cloud in the background. I like this one a lot better than my previous efforts..... The background can make so much difference in macro shots....
Compass plant contains a resinous sap that was used by Native Americans as a chewing gum. Some tribes burned the dried roots to ward off lightening during storms. They believed that lightening occurred more frequently where compass plant grew, and they would not camp in those locations. The name "compass plant" alludes to the tendency for basal leaves of plants to align their edges north and south.

The EC-130H Compass Call is an airborne tactical weapon system using a heavily modified version of the C-130 Hercules airframe. The system disrupts enemy command and control communications and limits adversary coordination essential for enemy force management. The Compass Call system employs offensive counter-information and electronic attack (or EA) capabilities in support of U.S. and Coalition tactical air, surface, and special operations forces. The EC-130H, EA-6B or EA-18G, and F-16CJ, form the Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) triad. Programmed upgrades have expanded its mission by procuring a secondary EA capability against early warning and acquisition radars. The EC-130H continuously tests new capabilities and tactics to respond to emerging threats and requests from combatant commanders.

"Though pleas`d to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way."
Since time immemorial, man has looked to the stars for navigational guidance when all other maps lie in darkness. The Big Dipper, or 'Plough', is an asterism that makes up part of the constellation of Ursa Major (The Big Bear). The two stars at the end of the "pan-handle", Merak and Dubhe, are called the "Pointer Stars" because a line drawn between them points to Polaris - the North Star. It lies above in the sky at a distance of about five lengths of the Merak-Dubhe line. This alignment was used by ancient mariners to determine their bearings, and also played an important part in the story of the Underground Railroad - which helped slaves escape their captivity in the southern states of the United States before the Civil War by fleeing north to Canada.
I was first told about this little navigational trick when staying with my Dad's friend Zack and his family, out in the darkness of the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, and the memory has stayed with me whenever I stare up at the Dipper. I get a real thrill when seeing the galactic band of the milky way stretched out across the sky. Sadly that's a rare event for most of Britain's light polluted evenings, so I look forward to the time when I can return to Gila with my new camera. I highly recommend viewing this stunning milky way timelapse video, which was shot from the heights of the Mogollon Mountain rim that defines the area's geology.
