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.

Evolution Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Kings Canyon National Park, California.
This image is part of my Sequoia and Kings Canyon set.
Evolution Basin is one of the Sierra Nevada's crown jewels. From the end of Evolution Lake to Muir Pass are wonders to behold. Pristine lakes, bubbling streams and creeks, spectacular wildflowers, majestic and sheer granite landforms, this area has them all.
Here, stands of Mountain Heather and Paintbrush blossom by a small stream which flows directly into Evolution Lake and the John Muir Trail wends its way along the granite outcrops which surround the lake. All days on this planet are special but this particular day was a day to remember for its glorious and awe-inspiring beauty.
This image was made in 2008 on the third day of a five-day backpack from South Lake to North Lake. It is a single image made with a Nikon D40 and Nikkor 18-200mm.

This is a resin kit which came complete but in very sad condition. The original paint finish hadn't taken too well leaving a rather pock-marked surface which needed a large amount of preparation.
The interior was even more sad and needed a lot of TLC before it could be refinished.
A satisfying result, finished in Iwan Jones' usual colours.
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, (*_*)

Hippeastrum, these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").

"Evolution ?" Back after a great trip to the Kruger Park in Satara camp, we had good game viewing but unfortunately no Cats! These 2 little Baboons kept us entertained one morning as they played and wrestled in the road. — at Africa Photographic Travel.

This is another in my JMT series. It is a panorama best viewed in its large size. Please view my other JMT images in my JMT set.
This is a stitch of four single exposures made with a Nikon D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm.
I lingered at McClure Meadow for far too long and found myself hustling up the switchbacks out of Colby Meadow up to Evolution Lake. Even before I arrived at this site, the ridge had been on fire for many minutes and I stopped liberally to make images. This site is a little tarn right next to Evolution Lake. Immediately after I made these images I would set up camp for the night, cook and eat dinner and then set up my camera to capture the alpenglow over Mt. Mendel and Mt. Darwin.

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.

Wild animals and birds always find a way to find food. This duckling was with its mother and siblings at Peppa Pig World at the theme park I took Rose and Amy to. They were wandering around all the adults and children as if it were second nature. There is a river that runs alongside the park and that's where they nest and swim, but if they are looking for food into the hubbub of the park they come. I don't think eating fast food is good for them but then it isn't that good for us either
