New stuff doesn't usually have the character I adore. The rust, the chipped paint, the history.
HMM!
(MacroMondays - Evolution)
McCall's Volvo B7RLE MCV Evolution stands at Whitesands Dumfries before working the 385 service to Annan I saw BF62 UYM at Castle Douglas a few weeks ago on the 502 during the big freeze when it was covered in road grime. Today it was a bit cleaner for a photo!

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.

Homemade traditional hard soap has been replaced with pump action liquid soaps made from chemical compounds and preservatives. This is some of our homemade soap which contains honey from our hives. It is rich and creamy and leaves your hands lovely and soft 😊
Evolution of a Water Drop video on YouTube.
This is one of the stills from the first set I did for this one. I wish drops were more consistent. This is my last water drop time lapse. It's a lot of work using liquids that are not dependable.
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!
I set a couple of my flashes out and put them in order of power. This was more my strobist evolution (although I did get the 120j after the b1600). I did in fact start with an sb-400 using a chord off camera! Ah the memories....

Three of us, two retired men (one who who wasn't sure if he could hike 50 plus miles; that would be me) and a young fit man who could have easily hiked twice as far in the 6 days we were on the trail started hiking at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended our hike 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.

Hyacinth Evolution
I planted 15 indoor hyacinths ready for Christmas. Three came into full flower after January 1st, the others are still emerging from the soil.
One has yet to burst into life at all. But at least I have a range of hyacinths to choose from.
Three different hyacinths are featured here and I should have 3 different colours when they are all finally in bloom. In my mind I had an image I wanted to create but with all the bulbs and different colours maturing at different rates, I'll just have to be happy with what Nature reveals to me, in her timescale not mine.
3 are now in flower and the distinctive hyacinth scent is very strong, although the pink version has a very noticeable "oak" smell about it which the red and blue ones don't have.
Inspired by the idea of a 52 week project for taking photos of flowers without colour.
Plying a traditional hand-crafted Arabic-styled Mashua dhow under a stiff coastal trade wind in the Lamu Archipelago off Kenya's northern Swahili Coast.
The seasonal trade winds have been instrumental in the evolution of Swahili culture and commerce since the ancient island town of Lamu was first established in the 14th Century as a strategic Omani marine outpost and settlement on the classic coastal trade route between Zanzibar and the Arabic world further to the north.
