``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.''
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:
* The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
* The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
* The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

I love seeing where they come from, to what they look like at their peak!
Those huge heads, so layered, all coming out of this one bud... it NEVER ceases to amaze me.
The evolution, the unfurling, the GRAND opening...
The peony is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and western North America but grow very well here too, Peonies are actually very easy to grow; once established they can tolerate drought and suffer from very few diseases.
Colours range from pure white through baby pinks and palest peaches to clear deep pink and darkest rich maroon. There is also a pale yellow but it is rare.
Peonies are only available between late May and early July, so get them while you can!
They are very thirsty flowers, so make sure you top up the vase or bowl.
The Greeks believed they could cure over 20 ailments and were found in every monastery garden.
Peonies have been cultivated for over 2,000 years, more for their medicinal qualities than for ornament.
The Japanese protect the earliest peony blooms from the snow by protecting them with individual small thatched shelters. Some geishas used to wear special peony colours.
The Chinese name for peony is "sho yu" which means "most beautiful" and they idolised this flower.
The common thread is that the flower always denotes luxury and indulgence.
Went for again for a dramatic lighting, to make them 'different' from other flower images...
My favourite... Lol, thank you for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

Dass die Evolution des Menschen noch nicht vorbei ist, liegt so ziemlich auf der Hand. Dass Karl-Heinz die Krone der Schöpfung darstellt, will jetzt wohl auch keiner mehr abstreiten.

Just look what it's done for them humans, billions of the buggers, wanna go star trekking but they still have to deal with religious fanatics, war, greed, mortgages, insurance, hatred, abuse, pharmaceuticals burying cures for treatment (how much are they making out of Covid, and what do they know about it's actual origin?), the list just goes on and on. Damn that, us monkeys have been going on fine for millions of years, just keep moving, eat, not get eaten, simple.
Progress, it's just a bandaid word for control and suffering.
Be a meandering monkey, you'll feel better for it XD

Went out to Belle Isle on Martin Luther King day looking for the now famous ice formation. I have to say I’m really impressed by it. It was a magnet for anyone with a camera and I had a lot of fun investigating all the numerous formations and abstract beauties within the ice. This shot shows why one needs a ND filter is very bright conditions. My intentions were to shoot at f/1.4 but it was totally overexposed even at a shutter speed of 1/8000 ISO100. Either way, I think this is an interesting way of looking at the ice.
Next shot of the fountain I’ll be posting will be one of those “In-Shane” images. I’m getting excited to edit it!

This hike began at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended at North Lake. According to a more accurate account than I can generate we hiked 55 miles, gained 8,730 feet and lost 9,200 feet elevation. This area, part in Kings Canyon National Park and part in the John Muir Wilderness is about 20 miles southwest from Bishop, California.
Here is a brief summary of our route: South Lake Trailhead - Bishop Pass - Dusy Basin - LeConte Canyon - Muir Pass - Evolution Valley - Puite Creek Canyon - Humphrey's Basin - Piute Pass - North Lake Trailhead. We passed more than a dozen lakes some of which I will mention when I upload photos.
