Over the years the shapes of many kanji characters have changed. Usually one kanji character can have at least two or three, (and usually more), meanings. Yikes! No wonder it's so hard for us foreigners learn. These kanjis at the Stone Forest in Xi'an are some of the early ones.

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").

At the foot of the evolution giants looking south. This valley was described by Le Conte in 1904 and I bet it didn't look much different than this. Those rocks were deposited there thousands of years ago, by the original earth movers, and they haven't been much disturbed since. And hopefully it'll still look like this in another thousand.
In the background right center is the Goddard Divide, once thought to be insurmountable, well at least with animals. Well, mules, sssssh, the sheep herders knew about it before King in the 1860's. And the local tribes.... I digressllll
Your reading assignment for tonight is to go to
vault.sierraclub.org/history/bulletin/
and download an early bulletin, in this case Vol. #5 "The Evolution Group of Peaks" by J. N. Le Conte, pg. 229
and start learning some of the historic folklore of the area before you visit! And know that, despite the relocation of USDA Growing Zones, these valleys look pretty much the same as described.

From standing in a cold queue at the end of the street, to making international video calls whenever we want! How things have moved on in so short a time. HMM everyone.
As I was close to Evolution museum I couldn't resist the temptation to capture it ;) What's more with sun and stormy clouds behind, it was ever so appropriate.

Oh, Those Flying Machines
Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum
Chantilly, VA
With the capacity of the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. completely full, this supplemental facility was constructed near Dulles International Airport outside the city in Virginia.
A hanger full of history.
The silver plane on the right is a Boeing 307 and this one was know as a Clipper Flying Cloud. It was the first airliner design with a pressurized fuselage. It could accommodate 33 passengers and cruise at 215 mph at an altitude of 20,000 feet and had a range of 1,750 miles. It went into commercial service during 1940.
If you look at the tail of the plane on the left, you will see Boeing 707 on it. This plane design was the first widely available jet airliner. It could accommodate about 140 passengers and cruise at 607 m[h with a range of 3,600 miles. Modified versions had a range of 5,000 miles. The 707 was introduced in October of 1958.
Behind the planes is a Concorde. It was the first ,and really the only, commercially successful supersonic airliner. It accommodated up to 120 passengers with a cruise speed of 1,340 mph and had a ceiling of 60,000 feet. Its range was 4,488 miles. It went into commercial service in 1976.

Photographs that I took whilst outside today. The weather has been pretty bad over here in London and so it's difficult to take photographs and on top of that we've started our A2 exam unit for Photography! This years theme is Growth and Evolution. These were some of the things that came to mind when I hear those words. Hope you like em.
35mm colour film negatives, memory stick and a digital bridge camera. (Not to mention the DSLR I took the shots on) The transition from film negatives and transparencies to digital, be it for files or photography, has been profound. When I first dealt with digital files a 1meg file was considered huge. The Syquest cartridges that supported our back-up was 44 or 88 meg that became hugely expensive at £50/100 a cartridge and equally inadequate. How times have changed with tiny memory sticks capable of holding an inordinate amount of data through to everyday usage we now take for granted … this list goes on!
One of these pieces of plastic holds one music track (well, two actually if you count the B side!) and one of them holds up to 16,000! If that's not evolution then I don't know what is!
