Calliandra haematocephala
(Red powder puff / Carbonero)
Calliandra haematocephala, commonly called red powder puff, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Bolivia. Raspberry-like flower buds open to hemispherical red powder puff flower heads (to 3” across) consisting of masses of scarlet stamens.
Genus name comes from the Greek words kalli- meaning beautiful and aner or andros meaning male, hence a stamen in reference to the flower's many stamens.
Specific epithet means blood-red head in reference to the flowers.

Another shot of Kris spraying wet April powder after a little hike from the Vorab Gletscher past The Peak and along to... The Ridge? (no clue what it's really called)
For all the bad lighting we had this day, I'm quite happy with the result. Now if only it was dry, fluffy powder it would be perfect.

We are having lots of snow these days, and Shyla seemed to swim through it rather than run at times, ending up with a snow face!

We had a photoshoot in AP Photo today. Here's Day 1's results. Hopefully will have a day two tomorrow!
The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

This picture was taken in my local forest, I put baby powder in the models hair and when she turned her head the powder threw itself off. I liked how the model is positioned. It gives the impression of throwing away any doubts off of her shoulder.
Real men ride old motorcycles with kick starters and they know how to fix them.
Taken during the Motorcycle Cannonball race of the century stop at the Powder Keg Harley Davidson dealership in the Kings Mills suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Motorcycle Cannonball is a cross country race from Atlantic City, New Jersey to San Diego, California. Only motorcycles made before 1917 are allowed to participate. The entries were limited to 100.

Unfortunately it was extremely difficult to get decent shots of the bikes and riders as there was a huge crowd, the bikes were packed in very tightly, the light wasn't good etc. This guy was one of the last to leave the lunch stop, so the crowd had opened up a bit. Riders came from around the world and I'm guessing this guy was from England based on the fact that he was riding a Norton and that he wore full protective gear as is more common in Europe than in the States.
At the end of the day, Richard had completed all 824 miles of the race so far and was ranked 8th overall.
