In February 2014 David Bowie said ‘Scotland, stay with us’. At the Fringe, a group of Scottish artists “take him up on his kind invitation. So pull up a futon, it’s all back to Bowie’s for an #indyref mix of politics, poetry, polemic and pop. Different guests every day make for an hour of gentle thought and hard day-dreaming”

A young girl gathers pond water to take back to her family for use in cooking and to drink. What surprised me the most is that - this wasn't her only trip. She actually had to make at least one more because she couldn't carry all the water her family needed in one trip :-(
The creation of the Pond Sand Filter (with Save the Children) helps convert pond water into safe, clean, and drinkable water for this entire village. This Pond Sand Filter was funded and voted upon by the YouTube community as part of my project. You can find out more at: tinyurl.com/ChallengePoverty
I’m still trying to wrap my head around what happened last crazy weekend. I still can’t believe that it's almost a decade since I left Silicon Valley. Everything is still exactly the same as I remember it to be - the scent, the view, the warmth that always embraces me. Every time I heard of Bay Area, I always feel this sentimental yearning and nostalgia rushing through me. No matter where I go in life, this place still holds a very very special place in my heart. It's where I first set foot into a different world - a world where I was forced to rewind my childhood, re-evaluate my dysfunctional family and thus, discover who I am and grow up as a strong and wise individual.
Time really does fly, doesn’t it? It seems like just yesterday I was this little scared and curious16-year-old-girl attending Gunn High School in Palo Alto. I was born in Vietnam and have been there for most of my life but here - in the US, here - in Palo Alto, is actually where I "grow up". Nine years has passed and among them, I spent 7 years living in different beautiful famous cities in California. Half of that time, I was alone, living by myself. Every heart break, every knockout, every second chance broaden my knowledge and perspective, enriched my life with various emotions and deep understandings.
I love LA to death because it’s the place that sees me through all my craziest ups and downs. It witnessed me being broken down, torn apart, gathered together and built back up again. It's where I went from having everything to having nothing in a blink of an eye. It's where I loved and lost. It's where I’m lost and found. Yet, the cities of Silicon Valley hold my dearest and sweetest memories of an innocent 16-year-old-me. It’s the place where I can truly call home, where I feel safe, warm and loved, where no matter what life brings me down, I could always come back and cry in the arms of those who genuinely care about me, where I could speak and let myself be heard and understood.
It's been so long since I could genuinely smile like this. When I started learning photography, I told myself not to take anymore self portrait. I'm seeking to speak the simple beautiful truth of life through my photos and I'm just so sick of photos of me faking smiles. But this time, I'll break my rule because I knew I was genuinely feeling warm and happy from within. I breathed in the fresh air, the cool breeze, the gloomy sky and the vivid memories. I was at peace.
I came home and I was free - free to spread my wings wild open and fly high. Day after day, I become more and more humbly grateful for the extraordinary experiences that I have had. It turned me upside down, inside out. It lets me tap into my inner self – the one filled with so many dark, confused emotions, thoughts and wonders. My soul is no longer a miss-match of my appearance. This is I – the one and only unique individual that whoever God is created and put into this world.
According to BMW and Franciscus van Meel, CEO BMW M GmbH, BMW M equates to emotion and motorsports. There is something magical, compelling, and artful about the BMW M performance division and its bevy of technological advancements. And with 50 years of engineering experience under its belt, the brand continues to evolve, innovate, and inspire with vehicles such as the all-new 2023 XM SAV, the first standalone BMW M since the venerable M1. Do you like the sound of 644-horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from a 4.4-liter V8 plug-in hybrid drive system at your disposal? Well, starting at $159K, the XM's powerful capabilities are available for your expressive lifestyle.
On open roads the XM jumps out the gate like greyhounds; on curvaceous mountain paths it grips the pavement like geckos on a mission!
The BMW M brand’s identity is omnipresent from the magnificence of the vehicles to the symbolism of the logo to the fashionable gear. The division represents far more than just racing performance on the road and track; it embodies lifestyle statements that resonate with emotional energy. The all-new 2023 BMW XM certainly adds to the diversity of M vehicle choices and enhances the lineup with authority, respect, and integrity.

Out of all my dogs Jasper is the one I am bonded the closest to. He is so intact with my feeling,with my emotions its like he is a part of me. He knows whe I'm sick,sad,happy,excited,whatever I'm feeling he knows and he feels it too. I tell him all my thoughts and all my secrets. He keeps them safe within his heart with him I am whole,I am me.

Hundreds of visitors came to get inspired and play with us at our Climate Art Exhibit on Sep. 14-15 at the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival. Green Change and dozens of volunteers hosted this special exhibit to engage more people to go green and fight climate change. We collaborated with these talented artists to create this featured presentation: Ann Dodge, Tess Felix, Fabrice Florin, Janey Fritsche, Al Grumet, Aurora Mahassine and Randy Rosenberg.
Together, we transformed the redwood grove at Old Mill Park into a creative space for climate action. We inspired hundreds of conversations about climate change through vibrant artworks, visual storytelling, interactive installations and fun activities for all ages. Over a hundred people signed up as Green Change members, dozens pledged to take climate action and many more played our educational games and learned new information to help them go green.
Our climate art exhibit featured:
• Ocean Plastic Portraits - stunning portraits made from recycled materials found on beaches
• Seeds of Change - a multi-dimensional living art installation rising 20 feet up in the redwood trees
• Keeping Score - a fun corn hole game about our food choices
• Hitting Home - an origami house activity about our energy choices
• Alchemy of Fire - mixed-media paintings about the threat of wildfires
• This Island Earth - paintings celebrating the beauty and spiritual power of nature
• Earth Bike - a unique art float created to inspire people to go green
• Green Change - an information table for learning about climate action
This was a fun and rewarding experience for all participants, bringing together hundreds of people and inspiring them to make a green change in their lives. The majestic redwood grove at Old Mill offered an ideal setting for helping each other protect nature and our future.
Special thanks to our gracious hosts Erma Murphy and Sylvia Barsky at MVFAF -- and to all the volunteers who so generously helped us present our work for this transformative experience!

We drove to Northumberland during August, the first time we had been to the county. We were intending to explore a bit, walk a bit, generally familiarise ourselves with the place and of course, take photographs. Whilst the weather was much better than home, the light wasn’t always kind, frequently improving after we had a left a stunning viewpoint – we didn’t have the luxury of time as we wanted to see as much as possible and it’s a big place.
We walked over the Simonsides, part of Hadrian’s wall, along the coast and around lots of castles and villages. I was amazed at the lack of people and traffic, with fantastic quiet roads. I haven’t enjoyed driving so much for a long time, motorway distances on A and B roads, no hassle and great views.
We were out from 7.30 AM until 9.00 PM most days, shorts and tee shirt but not as warm and pleasant as recently. Our day on Hadrian’s wall saw gale force winds and as we drove to the western end of Kielder to travers the whole valley the weather was foul – but we were in the car! I didn’t take a single photo of Kielder as the visibility was that low.
I think we visited most of the well-known castles, drove up to Berwick, into the centre of the Cheviots, through the Scottish Borders and most of the coast North of Morpeth. There wasn’t much we didn’t see, even if it was sometimes brief, I don’t doubt that we will be back.
I’m not sure what people do in some of these remote places, with miles to travel for anything. I barely ever had a 3G signal on my phone. There seemed to be a lot of property for sale in some of the villages. I did wonder what people do for a living, I would guess that farming, tourism and government services are the only employment without a commute to the major conurbations around Newcastle.
August was fantastic for colour – if not light – the field were full of golden crops, the moors covered in purple heather, with some green fields and a dark green copse on every hill. If everything came together the photos look a little unreal, like paintings.

South Porch to the Chancel - the oldest part of the Church - compare with a very similar photograph of the church in the Model Village.
The earliest evidence of a Christian presence on this site in Bourton-on-the-Water goes back as far as 709AD when a wooden church was built on land donated by the local king, centred to the Abbey of Evesham.
1110 AD saw the construction of the first stone church of Norman design. Since then there have been several changes of appearance. Under the chancel (the east end of the church), there is a twelfth-century crypt, said to be connected by a tunnel to the Old Manor House across the High Street.
The only visible part of the old church is the chancel, built in 1328 by Walter de Burhton. The church was then dedicated to St Lawrence, a fourth century Christian martyr; his story is recorded on a window-ledge near the organ.
A drawing of 1780 shows the church with a central tower, between the nave (where the congregation sit) and the chancel. It shows the 'Clapton Aisle, where the present porch is located; this was for residents of Clapton on the Hill during the period when their own ancient church of St James' was for a time derelict. However, in 1784, the Norman church was largely replaced with one in the neo-classical style, with a new heavy tower with clock and bells, still standing today.
Further change came in the 1870's with the construction of the present nave, followed by the North Aisle and St George's chapel, now containing memorials to the dead of the two world wars of the twentieth century. This Victorian legacy includes the nave roof, said to be one of Gloucestershire's finest examples of a king-post roof.
The twentieth century also left its mark with a fine painted ceiling in the chancel, and the ornate oak screen, separating the cancel from the nave. A very fitting contribution from a local poet and artist was added to the west wall at the time of the Millennium.
Today the parish Church remains the focus of a lively worshipping community in the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, extending a warm welcome to visitors.

Promenades hivernales
(Winter walks)
From December 11 to 28, 2025, I did some winter walks near Lyon city, France, with my Pentax 17 half-frame camera (see below fr details) loaded with a Mira 400 negative color film. The Mira 400 is a Kodak Eastman 5207 Vision 3 250D with the remjet coat removed. Consequently it could be processed in the regular Kodak C-41 chemistry for color negative films instead of the ECN-2 protocol that less common to find out from local lab services. The Kodak Vision 3 should be exposed for 250 Iso in the daylight. Here 400 Iso are recommended, may to minis the spossible trong halation caused by the absence of the Remjet.
Kodak Vision3 motion picture films are professional negative color films released by Kodak in 2009. The 250D (250 ISO for daylight) is referenced as Eastman 5207. Compared to photographic negative films, the Kodak Vision is back coated with the so-called rem-jet layer to facilitate the film motion at high-speed in the camera sand also to add a further anti-halo element in addition to the normal orange-magenta tinted film basis. The Vision3 films also include some special color coupler to enhance the color rendition. Kodak Vision3 should be processed normally with a motion picture protocol called ECN-2.
The Pentax 17 was equipped with an Anti-UV or polarizing filter as indicated below. For the camera transportation, I used a small camera bag ThinkTank « Mirrorless Mover 5 » that was well protecting the camera from possibly damaging vibrations when using my bicycle.
The expositions were automatically metered by the camera system using the « P » program modes with, or without, flash. For very bright scenes the exposition was corrected by +0.3 to +1EV to compensate the biais induced (and reversely -0.3 to 0.7 EV for very dark scenes to objects). The Pentax 17 light sensors being behind the filter, the filter is then automatically compensated.
Exploration de Fleurieu-sur-Saône, la cité du "Bleu Guimet"***, December 16, 2025

_______________________
Bleu Guimet (also known as synthetic ultramarine or Guimet blue) is an artificial blue pigment invented in 1826–1828 by French chemist and industrialist Jean-Baptiste Guimet (1795–1871), a Polytechnique graduate. Motivated by his wife, a painter who found natural ultramarine (derived from expensive lapis lazuli) too costly, Guimet developed a synthetic version by heating a mixture of kaolin, soda, sulfur, charcoal, and other compounds. This chemically identical but far cheaper pigment won a prize from the Société d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale in 1828.
In 1831, Guimet established his first factory in Fleurieu-sur-Saône (Rhône department, north of Lyon), where large-scale production began. The site grew significantly: extensions, new furnaces, a dedicated railway halt ("le train bleu"), and a Saône river pontoon facilitated operations. By the late 19th century, under his son Émile Guimet (1836–1918), the factory employed 150 workers and produced 1,000 tons annually.
The pigment's success stemmed from its versatility: used in fine art painting (by artists like Ingres, Renoir, and Van Gogh), but especially for "azurage" — optically whitening laundry, paper, and textiles. This made it a global industrial staple, with the family fortune enabling investments (including founding Pechiney in 1855) and cultural patronage (Émile founded the Guimet museums in Lyon and Paris).
The family business expanded internationally through subsequent generations, reaching peak production of 4,500 tons in the 1940s. However, the Fleurieu-sur-Saône factory closed in 1967 after sale to British company Reckitt & Colman (now produced elsewhere, e.g., by Holliday Pigments). The historic site was repurposed into the Centre Artisanal Bleu Guimet, an artisanal and business zone preserving its industrial heritage.

After completion (72 frames), the film was given to a local lab service.
Single-frame digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm at approximate reproduction ratio of 1:2. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 15.0.1 of dec. 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the camera :
Since last Christmas 2024, it was on display in the middle of « reusable » cheap camera’s in the window of my local photography store. But this camera is not cheap and sold at 10-times the price of those « reusable » film camera’s. The Pentax 17 is a novel film camera released by Pentax (a brand belonging to Ricoh Imaging, Japan) in June 2024.
The history of « Pentax » name is still something worth to mention. After the WWII, in Dresden (that was heavily destroyed by the bombing of Feb. 13-15, 1945), Germany, The Zeiss Ikon company could not produce anymore the legendary original Contax (a high-reputation professional range-finder 35mm released in 30’s) camera that was taken by Russia and transferred to Kiev, Ukraine, in the USSR. However the brand name Contax survived and the German engineers designed something completely new within several years : the Contax S (S for « Spiegel mirror reflex ») that integrated a pentaprism for a full redressed reflex viewer observation. Zeiss Ikon Dresden registered to new trademarks derived from the words « Pentaprism » and « Contax » that were « Pentax » and « Pentacon ». If Pentacon became the new name of the company in Dresden, the trademark Pentax was bought by Asahi Optical Company in Japan, and became a formidable industrial and commercial success. Asahi Pentax, then Pentax alone, produced amazing quality camera’s including the legendary « Spotmatic » (a 35mm SLR) and stunning medium-format camera’s heavily used by professional photographers. Many of these camera’s of the past century are still operative and appreciated by film photography enthusiast’s.
Production of film camera’s vanished progressively in the mid 2000’s, as digital camera’s became of better quality and finally of generalized appliances in photography. The Pentax 17 was introduced to the market in June 2024, it was a big surprise for all the film photography lovers. Seeing a newly engineered brand-new film camera was a sort of renaissance of the film photography today of a growing interest worldwide.
The camera is a « half-frame » format on the traditional double-perforated 35mm film giving 17x24mm photograms. This format was not as popular as to classical 24x36mm (full-frame) format of most of the 35mm camera’s. However famous and quality half-frame camera’s were produced in the past including, the long series of Olympus Pen for example. Then, the Pentax 17 immediately attracted the attention of experimented film photographers and camera collectors, probably more than the officially targeted customers of the younger generations. Less than a year after, the future of the Pentax 17 and the film photography project of Pentax is questioned today. The chef-engineer who conducted the project in Ricoh company recently left and the marketing of Pentax 17 is now a question.
This finally decided me to buy an exemplary from my local shop and to discover this strange machine. The camera is of course guaranteed, even with a there-year extension after the camera registration on the Pentax website. The whole ergonomic is clearly derived from classical past 35mm camera’s with a fully mechanical film advance and rewind, a collimated Albada viewer, no digital display at all, only levers, barrels, crank and wheels… However inside is a automatic electronic exposure system with flash, the focusing is manual but the electronic mechanism moves the whole optical group with a micro motor.
The lens is a Cooke triplet 1:3.5 f=25mm equivalent to a 37mm of a 24x36mm format. The Cooke triplet is a photographic lens designed and patented in 1893 by Dennis Taylor who was employed as chief engineer by T. Cooke & Sons of York. It was the first lens system that allowed the elimination of most of the optical distortion or aberration at the outer edge of the image. It likely for this reason that the lens is unscripted curiously « Traditional » on the front lens ring… It is known that a Cooke triplet lens could give surprisingly good results with only three separated optical elements. The Cooke Triplet is still widely used in inexpensive cameras, including variations using aspheric elements, particularly in cell-phone cameras. The Cooke triplet consists of three separated lenses positioned at the finite distance. It is often considered that the triplet is one of the most important discoveries in the field of photographic objectives
The lens receives 40.5mm diameter thread filters that I use for my Zorki / Leningrad lenses Jupiter-8 2/50mm, Jupiter-11 4/135mm and Jupiter-12 2.8/35mm. The metal shade hood Minolta D42KA could mounted on the filter but I have to check is there is vignette induced.
The camera size is close to the original dimensions of a thread-mount Leica (called also the original Barnack Leica) which are, in a way, a sort of « Gold » size in the 35mm camera’s. I compared with my Zorki 1D year 1954 that is a straight reproduction of the Leica Iic. The upper deck of Pentax 17 is designed very clearly as a classical 35mm and we even find the original logo of Asahi Optical Company. The rewind crank is also a revival of past design seen on old Pentax SLR as my year-1971 Spotmatic SP in this seres of pictures.
The Pentax 17 is very light (about 300g) compared to those old ancestors that weight easily the double or the triple. It is then an effortless camera to carry. The Pentax 17 fits in the small ThinkTank bag (called « Mirorless Mover 5 ») that I recently bought to safely carry a film back of my Hasselblad or my Bronica 6X6 camera’s. In this tiny bag, the camera is protected for the element and vibrations due to cycling for instance.

Specifically the lens has:
1. HD coating, which maintains high performance of the lens, by using this PENTAX multi-coating. This also enables high contrast and high definition right to the edges.
2. SP coating (Super Protect) which helps to repel water and oil from the lens.
The fact that the focusing on the Pentax 17 is electronic i.e. the lens only moves when you half-press the shutter gives me faith that autofocus was already considered in the R&D stage.
Ventured to Kailua today (in the rain) to get some of Boots & Kimo’s. It was like Thor’s way of saying not to lead an active lifestyle today.
Still good, got to watch Elf.

Mooresville, NC - If there was ever a time to put down some dominate numbers and come away with a couple of segment victories, this was the weekend. It was the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car's" first double points event of the season and it worked out very well for Kyle Tucker and his Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro Test Car at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. See all the pics here goo.gl/s8eWXN
As usual, the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross and the Wilwood Speed Stop Challenge were the first segments Saturday morning and provided lots of action whether you were participating or if you were just hanging out in the pits amongst the crowd.
Kyle and the Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro were on point from the get go, laying down times hovering in the mid to high :13's until he put down his best time on his second to last run (:13.60) which was enough to claim the top spot and 50 points for the segment victory. Not to rest on his laurels, Kyle was also pushing hard on the autocross and ended up with 2nd place and another 44 points to add to his weekend collection. Detroit Speed dealer and good friend, Billy Utley took the top spot in the autocross driving his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Chevy Nova.
The road rally took place at the end of the day and took off from the speedway and ended at the Lingenfelter Design Collection in Brighton, MI. Thanks for their hospitality, great food, and beautiful cars to look at. It was, also, 5 minutes from Kyle and Stacy's house where Detroit Speed got its start. It was pretty neat to head back and see where it all started.
Sunday was more of the same from Kyle and the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. The Hot Lap Challenge gave the drivers a chance to really open up their cars with a 1.9 mile inside road course at Michigan. Kyle's first run of the day would have been good enough to capture first place and the full 50 points but he ended up besting that and put down a blistering 1:23.076 a few sessions later that no one was able to come close to.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Billy Utley. Billy topped the GTV Class and was awarded his invitation to the season ending event in Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats Billy! We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on his podium finish in the GT class and our very own Project Foreman, Chris Porter, on his podium finish in the GTV class.
Rick Hoback, driving his C5 Corvette, had good runs on the road course on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to another commitment, he could only attend on Sunday. Thanks Rick for flying the DSE flag proudly! Rick wasn't the only one flying the flag, DSE “Equipped" cars were out in full force and ran hard all weekend. If you have been following the Optima events in person or on social media, one thing you will notice is all the "63" images and decals around. The decal is for Todd Rumpke, our friend who drives the Snoopy C6 Corvette. He is in a difficult battle right now, and at the end of the day, we are all a family out there and would do anything to support a friend and fellow driver.

The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).

The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." Shelley drowned off the Italian Riviera and was cremated on the shore near Viareggio. His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

Headed home to the mountains.
“People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it- walk.”
We were all thrilled to bits to be taken to see these Pinedrops, which none of us had ever seen before, by a delightful young woman. We had met her the previous day, on a trip with people from Medicine Hat College to see and monitor an area of Yucca plants growing in the wild. Such a treat to get this rare opportunity. Pterospora andromedea lacks chlorophyll - trace amounts have been identified, but not enough to provide energy for the plant or to color it. One plant we came across was just over a metre tall!! They are very narrow and very difficult to photograph, as it was almost impossible to focus on the plant. I got lots of blurry shots, but this macro was fit to use : )
"Pterospora, commonly known as pinedrops, Albany beechdrops, or giant bird's nest is a monotypic genus in the subfamily Monotropoidiae of the blueberry family, the Ericaceae, and includes only the species Pterospora andromedea. It grows in coniferous or mixed forests. It is native to North America from southern Canada to the mountains of Mexico and is most commonly found in the western half of the continent, though small isolated populations are found in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
The genus name is derived from the morphology of the seeds which have narrow flaps of tissue on the side and therefore appear winged: ptero (Gr.) = winged, spora (Gr.) = seed. The specific name andromedea derives from the resemblance of the flowers to those of another genus in the Ericaceae, Andromeda.
The visible portion of Pterospora andromedea is a fleshy, unbranched, reddish to yellowish flower spike (raceme) 30-100 cm in height, though it has been reported to occasionally attain a height of 2 meters. The above-ground stalks (inflorescences) are usually found in small clusters between June and August. The inflorescences are hairy and noticeably sticky to the touch. This is caused by the presence of hairs which exude a sticky substance (glandular hairs). The inflorescences are covered by scale-like structures known as bracts. The upper portion of the inflorescence has a series of yellowish, urn-shaped flowers that face downward. The fruit is a capsule.
Like all members of the Monotriopoidiae (see Monotropa), Pterospora andromedea lacks chlorophyll (trace amounts have been identified, but not enough to provide energy for the plant or to color it). Plants exist for most of their life as a mass of brittle, but fleshy, roots. They live in a parasitic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, in which plants derive all their carbon from their associated fungus, but the relationship is not yet well understood. The term for this kind of symbiosis is mycoheterotrophy. In Pteropspora the association is with a very limited number of fungi in the genus Rhizopogon, including Rhizopogon subcaerulescens, R. arctostaphyli, and R. salebrosus. Pterospora has yet to be discovered with any species outside the genus Rhizopogon." From Wikipedia.

Thanks to picture perfect weather, this year's Father's Day Classic Car show saw the biggest turn out yet! Almost 30 cars arrived for the annual contest, quickly filling up the front parking lot. A large tent was set up in the courtyard with tables and chairs as well as another for the entertainment. The Traverso Singers, favorites here at The Pointe, performed for 2 hours, singing classic songs befitting the classic cars. It sounded like a fire works show as residents, staff and family members "ooohed and ahhhed" as each car pulled in the lot.
In addition to all of the beautiful cars, there was face painting and Hot Wheels races for the kids, as well as a complimentary lunch for everyone. The event lasted several hours, giving residents and their guests plenty of time to view all of the cars and enjoy all of the activities taking place.
