Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
Commonly known as the carnation or clove pink, it is a species of Dianthus. It is probably native to the Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 years. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 80 cm tall. The leaves are glaucous greyish green to blue-green, slender, up to 15 cm long. The flowers are produced singly or up to five together in a cyme; they are around 3–5 cm diameter, and sweetly scented; the original natural flower color is bright pinkish-purple, but cultivars of other colors, including red, white, yellow and green, have been developed. The fragrant, hermaphrodite flowers have a radial symmetry. The four to six surrounding the calyx, egg-shaped, sting-pointed scales leaves are only ¼ as long as the calyx tube. Carnations require well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil, and full sun.They are used for medical purposes, such as for upset stomach and fever. Their fragrance was historically used for vinegar, beer, wine , sauces and salads. 25699
The Alkaline Ponds are interesting bodies of water east of Mammoth Lakes, California. At our previous workshop we spent a morning and evening here. This view is as we left our vehicles and walked down the depression to one of the ponds.

With landscape elements like this - blue water, white alkaline deposits - and warm morning light, any bird would look great. That most of the birds present were American Avocets put it over the top for me, and I ended up working this relatively small area for a couple of hours (with one 15-minute break in the car to warm up, as the morning was much colder than it looks).
This pond is part of a larger wetland area along the margins of Chaplin Lake, which forms critical habitat for migratory birds. The saline waters produce huge numbers of brine shrimp, which in turn feed countless shorebirds, waterfowl, gulls, and other migratory species en route to their breeding grounds.
These avocets were easy to photograph, as they quickly accepted my presence while I alternately sat and lay flat in a not-too-damp spot near the shore. Part of success in wildlife photography - or any photography - is recognizing when you're onto something good. This may seem obvious, but it isn't always so. For years I watched my students misjudge a situation and spend too much time in an unproductive location or walk away from some fantastic light because they didn't see its potential. There is no substitute for experience, but sometimes a little nudge or hint from a good instructor can serve as a useful guideline.
The other side of that - and the difficulty in teaching any of the visual arts - lies in not wanting to interfere with real creativity. It's good to experiment with unpromising materials, and it's good to fail, because that's how we learn. Years ago, someone asked me, "How do you teach photography? CAN you teach photography?" My answer was, "I don't know." I can certainly teach exposure and depth of field and how to behave around wildlife and being aware of the light. The creative part? That is our personal journey. We do that part alone.

"Can I be honest?
I'm getting scared of fading out
Hearing the whispers
They say I'm old news now
All that I've wanted
Is being ripped right out my mouth
Can I be honest? Can I be honest with you?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Will you be honest? Am I just inside my head?
Know that I panic, 'cause I'm scared of losing this
Do I sound crazy? Losing faith on accident
Will you be honest? Can you be honest with me?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Swear that I have been trying to change
Balance got the best of me
Vertigo inside my brain
Dizzy, trying to find some peace
Emotions got the best of me
This alkaline's become my pain
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
(Swear that I have been trying to change)
(Balance got the best of me)
(Vertigo inside my brain)
(Dizzy, trying to find some peace)
(Emotions got the best of me)
(This alkaline's become my pain)
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it"

Salt pillars in the Mono Lake
Mono Lake is a saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline.
The hillsides are covered in Goldfield Wildflowers. Great grazing pastures but the water can be deadly to livestock because of the high Ph levels.

Dactylorhiza majalis (Orchidaceae) 195 24
This species was first described from Dresden, Germany by Reichenbach in 1828 and was initially ascribed the title Orchis latifolia which after several reclassifications became the Dactylorhiza majalis we are familiar with today. Its name refers to the month of May which although accurate, is very much at the start of what is an early flowering season for an essentially montane member of the Dactylorhiza genus.
Dactylorhiza majalis is a widespread species with a range throughout the central European alpine region from northern Spain through to the Dolomites and the mountains of eastern Europe, possibly as far as Russia. It can be found in damp or wet conditions on alkaline or mildly acidic substrates in lowland sites or upland areas up to a height of approx 2000 meters.
It is a species that can vary greatly in its vegetative characteristics but seems to be strangely consistent in flower formation, despite frequent genetic ingression by other similar species from within the genus. The plant itself is robust and the inflorescence, although sturdy is not particularly tall or dense, carrying flowers that are not strikingly marked and appear to be more uniformly purple than Dactylorhiza alpestris which has a distinct and more extensive white peripheral area surrounding the stigmatic cavity.
The leaves are normally dark green and heavily spotted with purple or dark brown blotches on the upper sides, though this cannot be taken as diagnostic as there are recorded examples of both non spotted examples and those with heavy double sided blotching.

ANSH 121 #16 "Favorite book to read at Christmas"
With no small children around to demand Christmas stories, I don't really have any books that require reading at Christmas. But these cookbooks tend to get used a lot during the holidays, mostly for baking, but the center one contains my favorite recipe for posole, which I always make on New Years Day. Posole is a pork and chile stew with corn treated with an alkaline solution, like hominy in modern times. Posole dates back to the Aztec empire. But my version comes from New Mexico.

The 108 acre Chalet Nivale Nature Preserve is owned by the Arc of Appalachia. It's a karst country landscape of cliffs, springs, seeps, grottos and sinkholes. The dolomite bedrock has high concentrations of calcium and magnesium. The resulting thin alkaline soil supports ancient white cedars that cling to clifftops hundreds of miles south of their range in Canada. Crawdad Creek is a short feeder creek that flows into Scioto Brush Creek.
When the water level is low, circular to oval brine pools of magnesium sulphate-rich water form in this small alkaline lake. This is a famous and unusual site, a popular tourist stop along Highway 3 in the mountains of south-central British Columbia, western Canada.

This photo was taken at Lake Nakuru in central Kenya (Rift Valley) in the early 2000s. This lake is one of four alkaline lakes in the region that spawns the "algae" that the flamingoes thrive on. They descend on these lakes in the millions and stay until they have polluted such that the birds start dying. They then move to another lake.

Lake Elementaita is a shallow a soda lake located on the floor of Kenya's Great Rift Valley at an altitude of 1,776 meters, 20 km southeast of the city of Nakuru. Its surface area is 18 square kilometers, although the water level fluctuates. Its deepest point is 1.9 meters; much of the lake is less than one meter deep. 450 bird species can be found here; it is an important stop for migratory birds. The lake is designated as Ramsar Site and as Important Bird Area (IBA). Lake Elementaita Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses the whole of Lake Elementaita and its riparian land; it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Kenya Lake System in 2011.
About 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles, the Trona Pinnacles is one of the most unique landscapes I've ever been to. This image, which shows just a few of the more than 500 pinnacles, highlights just how alien the landscape looks.
Adding to the otherworldly look of this scene is the presence of high cirrus clouds that add a glow and haze to the brighter stars. I also suspect that the red glow towards the horizon is air glow and not clouds as when this was shot the clouds were creeping in from the southwest (this image is centered roughly north).
The pinnacles or tufa spires as they are called are calcium carbonate mineral deposits that formed at the bottom of the ancient and now dried up Searles Lake. These tufa spires formed between 10,000 to 100,000 years ago at the bottom of the lake when calcium rich groundwater interacted with the alkaline rich lake water to produce the spires, some as tall as 140 feet!
Above the tufa spires the fall Northern Hemisphere Milky Way arches overhead. Starting from the right the very famous and recognizable constellation Orion shines brightly with its red areas of nebulosity and very bright stars. The bright orange one on Orion's shoulder is Betelgeuse, a very young and chaotic star that will soon (cosmologically) explode into a bright supernova. It's possible Betelgeuse has already exploded and the light from the explosion has yet to reach Earth. No need to worry as Betelgeuse is far enough away that the effects from the explosion will only look incredible and should have no impact on life here. Next, we move up and to the left the California Nebula (in the constellation Perseus) and Pleiades (in the constellation Taurus) can be found above the arch of the Milky Way. Farther to the left, following the dust lanes of our home galaxy, the Heart and Soul nebulae in the constellation Cassiopeia are seen as the two bright red spots close to each other just past the central peak of the arch. Then farther to the left and down parts of the northern hemisphere Summer Milky Way can be seen in the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. Fist in Cepheus is the red circular area that contains the Elephant Trunk nebula, then farther to the left in Cygnus is the red North America nebula and Gamma Cygni nebula. Lastly, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) sits high above the Milky Way arch in the top central-left. At around 2.5 million light-years distant it's the most distant object in this field of view.
A final interesting note about the Trona Pinnacles is that they have served as backdrops for some sci-fi movies and television series, such as “Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,” Disney's “Dinosaur,” “The Gate II,” “Lost in Space,” and “Planet of the Apes.”
