Born in Hangzhou, China, Ding Fuzhi 丁辅之 (1879–1949) was the founding member of Xiling Seal–Carving Association which focused on developing and researching the art of seal, painting, and calligraphy. He is well known for his creation of seals and his paintings of plum blossoms and fruits in which he used a pointillist technique. The same technique, which branched from Impressionism, was developed by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in 1886. Inspired by pictograms, Ding depicted the characteristics of each fruit by mixing the naive quality of each fruit against the primitive oracle–bone script, while employing very sophisticated colorization.

Remodel, Week 9
Remember how last week I mentioned that the new script-style font Walmart is using alongside this décor is almost too prevalent now? Well, here it is again, this time popping up on some new bakery labels! l_dawg said in the comments to that pic that “what happens in the bakery should stay in the bakery”... be careful what you wish for, I guess XD

In New Annan William and Robert Byers started a sawmill in 1827 on a west branch of the French River, and in 1832 a carding mill was added.

1825 saw William Byers starting a grist mill to produce flour, and a year later a machine was added to make oatmeal.
During the early 1800’s, many more people came to Nova Scotia to start new lives. In 1817, William Scott, James Munro and their families emigrated from Scotland to take up farms close to the Bells'. They were followed by another wave of Scots in 1822. Eventually the community grew large enough for its inhabitants to be taxed by the government. It needed a name for government records and the name New Annan was officially adopted in 1820. It was named after many of the settlers' hometown, Annandale, in the Dumfries region of Scotland. It was in 1817 that Bell and his sons built the first grist mill in New Annan. It was very small, grinding only six to seven bushels a day, but served the small community's needs. In 1825, a bigger grist mill was built on the French river by William Byers. This one was not only larger than Bell’s, but it was also capable of making flour. It was upgraded a year later so that it could produce oatmeal as well which the Scottish settlers valued. The farmers in New Annan eventually produced more oatmeal than they needed and began to export the surplus. The Byers didn’t stop with the grist mill. In 1827, William and Robert Byers opened the community’s first saw mill to keep up with the ever-growing lumber business. This meant that the community was no longer dependent on Tatamagouche for it’s milling needs.

William Byers was christened Mar. 16, 1765 in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotalnd; the son of William Byres and Helen Jardine. Grew up in Pennersaugh, Dumfries, Scotland. After his marriage in 1794 to Josephine PALMER, they resided in Kendlebrig, Dumfries.

He was granted 250 acres after a petition that stated "He has always been a loyal subject and is willing to take oath of allegiance when required. He has a wife and seven children names and ages here unto you given ... Eleanor age 21 years, William age 18 years, John age 13 years, Robert age 9 years, Mary age 7 years, Walter age 5 years, James age 1 year ... This petitioner has brought with him a good character." [Three other children had died in infancy, and one other at 10 years of age.]
William Byers was a miller and lumberman. In 1825 he started a gristmill on the west branch of the French River, for making flour. Then he added machinery for making oatmeal. All the grinding was done at his mill to the year 1842. The first sawmill was set up at the same place in 1827 by William and his son Robert Byers, who in 1832 added the first carding mill to their establishment." Byers' Lake was one of the sources of the stream which drove these mills. -- History of Colchester County, N.S., by Israel Longworth.

Watertown detector went off later than expected so didn’t have enough time to fully set up. Still a decent shot of CP 7016 leading CP 281 at Reeseville, WI
Script lichen on a beech root. I'm loving the new lens I got last week, the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro. One thing I hadn't anticipated enjoying so much, compared to the 65mm mp-e I've been using for years, is the ability to take shots in natural light so easily at 2.5x magnification.
