Life is but a brief journey through time. The Awe of the Grand Canyon makes us pause and ponder the real scale of time. A true beast of nature, the climate, has had it up’s and Downs: Hot periods, Cold periods, Glaciers to Floods, Tropics to Mountains, and, Today, here sets one of the great testaments to those violent periods in the evolution of Earth.
Mans existence is but a blink in the vast time scale of Earth. And yet, from her violent past, she leaves us this great spectacle so we may glimpse her troubled past.

I love seeing where they come from, 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, thanx for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

My Photoblog- My Third Eye...!
Spending time with one’s boyfriend while he fishes has probably gone on for centuries. Being able to access the Internet and attend class on a laptop while spending time at the lake with him has not. The evolution of virtual education, shopping, and entertainment still astounds.

I chatted with her for a bit. She was a delightful young woman.

My 4 year old and I had a great time discovering these pieces in one bag of popcorn. We were pretty impressed we could create an illustration of what happens to a kernel in the bag once that microwave button is pushed. :)
Please comment if you favorite, C/C is greatly appreciated!
Dick Grayson- the first Robin, I really liked the idea of going with the classic suit, although i hope to give him a long yellow cape
Jason Todd- the darkest of the lot, Jason's suit is based off of Young Justice, with an added hood that tries to show a correlation between his Robin and Red Hood suits
Tim Drake- While personally I've always really liked his green and red suit, I really love the TLG fig, i really don't know why
Damian Wayne- although my least favorite Robin, gotta admit, his costume is probably the best. Used the official fig
Now I know there are other Robins, but in my Universe, Kerry Kelly and Stephanie Brown were never Robin. Stay tuned soon, I also have the evolution of Batgirl

Gallery of Evolution - part of the French Natural history museum in Paris. Located in: Jardin des Plantes
This wall slowly cycled through different coloured lighting - a very pleasant changing ambience and fun to point a camera at
Serious taxidermy, beautifully presented. More than 7000 preserved animal specimens displayed in a vast metal & glass 19th-century hall. Highly recommended as a place to visit.
December 4, 2015 - Clearly I have a thing for the Lumix series of cameras.... and am somewhat brand loyal.
On the right is the newest family member, though it was a challenge to find given that it was discontinued a couple of years ago.
Fantastic cameras, all of them.
