This is my friend Adèle and me posing together in the garden of the T-girl clubhouse. We both have very different clothing styles: Adèle is always a stewardess and I'm always in satin. Contrasting styles and colors, yet the same feminine feelings and lots of laughs together.

Return to Forever is a jazz fusion group founded and led by keyboardist Chick Corea. Through its existence, the band has cycled through a number of different members, with the only consistent band mate of Corea's being bassist Stanley Clarke. However in 1972, after having become a disciple of Scientology, Corea decided that he wanted to better ;communicate; with the audience. This essentially translated into his performing a more popularly accessible style of music, since avant-garde jazz enjoyed a relatively small audience.
First group (1972-1973) The first edition of Return to Forever performed primarily Latin-oriented music. Clarke himself became involved in Scientology through Corea, but eventually left the sect in the early 1980s.
Their first album, titled simply Return to Forever, was recorded for ECM Records in 1972 and was initially released only in Europe. Their second album, Light as a Feather (1973), was released by Polydor and included the song, Spain, which also became quite well-known.
Jazz rock era (1973-1976) guitarist Bill Connors, drummer Steve Gadd and percussionist Mingo Lewis were added.. Lenny White (who had played with Corea in Miles Davis's band) then replaced Gadd and Lewis on drums and percussion, and the group's third album, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (1973), was then rerecorded.
The nature of the group's music had by now completely changed into jazz-rock, Their music was still relatively melodic, relying on strong themes, but the traditional jazz element was by this time almost entirely absent- replaced by a more direct, rock oriented approach. Over-driven, distorted guitar had also become prominent in the band's new sound, and Clarke had by then switched almost completely to electric bass guitar. A replacement on vocals was not hired, and all the songs were now instrumentals. This change did not lead to a decrease in the band's commercial fortunes however, Return to Forever's jazz rock albums instead found their way onto US pop album charts.
While their second jazz rock album, Where Have I Known You Before, (1974) was similar in style to its immediate predecessor, Corea now played synthesizers in addition to electric keyboards (including piano), and Clarke's playing had evolved considerably- now using flange and fuzz-tone effects, and with his now signature style beginning to emerge. the then 19-year-old guitar prodigy Al Di Meola, who had also played on the album recording sessions joined.
Their following album, No Mystery (1975), was recorded with the same line-up as "Where Have I Known You Before", but the style of music had become more varied. The first side of the record consisted primarily of jazz-funk, while the second side featured Corea's acoustic title track and a long composition with a strong Spanish influence. On this and the following album, each member of the group composed at least one of the tracks. No Mystery went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance by a Group.
The final album by this longest-lasting lineup of the group was Romantic Warrior (1976), which had by this time left Polydor for Columbia Records. This album would go on to become the best selling of all Return to Forever's efforts, eventually reaching gold disc status. Romantic Warrior continued their experiments in the realms of jazz-rock and related musical genres, and was lauded by critics for both the technically demanding style of its compositions as well as for its accomplished musicianship.
After the release of Romantic Warrior and Return To Forever's subsequent tour in support (as well as having in addition signed a multi-million dollar contract with CBS), Corea shocked Clarke by deciding to change the lineup of the group and to not include either White or Di Meola
Final album (1977)
The final incarnation of Return to Forever featured a four piece horn section and Corea's wife Gayle singing vocals, but recorded only one studio album, Musicmagic (1977).After Musicmagic, Chick Corea officially disbanded the group.
Reunion (2008) The classic Return to Forever line-up of Corea, Clarke, White, and Di Meola reunited for a tour of the United States that began in the summer of 2008. 2011 tour From February 2011, the group commences a world tour in Australia. The line-up, billed as Return to Forever IV, is Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Frank Gambale and Jean-Luc Ponty.
First group (1972-1973) The first edition of Return to Forever performed primarily Latin-oriented music. This initial band consisted of singer (and occasional percussionist) Flora Purim, her husband Airto Moreira on drums and percussion, Corea's longtime musical co-worker Joe Farrell on saxophone and flute, and the young Stanley Clarke on bass. Within this first line-up in particular, Clarke played acoustic double bass in addition to electric bass. Corea's electric piano formed the basis of this group's sound, but Clarke and Farrell were given ample solo space themselves. While Purim's vocals lent some commercial appeal to the music, many of their compositions were also instrumental and somewhat experimental in nature. The music was composed by Corea with the exception of the title track of the second album which was written by Stanley Clarke. Lyrics were often written by Corea's friend Neville Potter, and were quite often scientology themed- though this is not readily apparent to those not involved in Scientology itself. Clarke himself became involved in Scientology through Corea, but eventually left the sect in the early 1980s.
Their first album, titled simply Return to Forever, was recorded for ECM Records in 1972 and was initially released only in Europe. Their second album, Light as a Feather (1973), was released by Polydor and included the song, Spain, which also became quite well-known.
Jazz rock era (1973-1976) guitarist Bill Connors, drummer Steve Gadd and percussionist Mingo Lewis were added. However, Gadd was unwilling to tour with the band and risk his job as an in-demand session drummer. Lenny White (who had played with Corea in Miles Davis's band) replaced Gadd and Lewis on drums and percussion, and the group's third album, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy (1973), was then rerecorded (the first recording, featuring Gadd on drums, was never released and has since disappeared).
The nature of the group's music had by now completely changed into jazz-rock, Their music was still relatively melodic, relying on strong themes, but the traditional jazz element was by this time almost entirely absent- replaced by a more direct, rock oriented approach.

After Bill Connors left the band to concentrate on his solo career, the group also hired new guitarists. Although Earl Klugh played guitar for some of the group's live performances, he was soon replaced by the then 19-year-old guitar prodigy Al Di Meola, who had also played on the album recording sessions.
Their following album, No Mystery (1975), was recorded with the same line-up as "Where Have I Known You Before", but the style of music had become more varied.

One of the ways to tell which pygmy Drosera you have found is to look at the number of stamens, shape of the ovary and the number of styles.
This has 5 stamens and 4 styles.
Possibly Drosera hyperostigma Problem with it is that it is only supposed to have 3 style and this one has 4 and I didn't know that in the field and didn't look at other flowers.
While out on a walk at Frear Park in Troy, New York, USA on August 6, 2020, I happened to look up through the leaves of a sumac tree & spied this wee bug, identified as most likely being a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug by my good friend & Shield Bug expert rockwolf.

Big Sky Montana, Summit Hotel
In 1968 Chet Huntley floated the idea that he would build a resort in his home state Montana. Huntley's NBC news partner David Brinkley said Huntley had an almost mystical love for his native Montana. That year Chet Huntley and his wife Tippy, vacationed at Jim and Patty Goodrich's 320 Guest Ranch near Lone Mountain. Lone Mountain made a big impression. Huntley asked the Goodriches to keep an eye out for some land he could buy. Huntley's earliest plan was to build a dude ranch which could be used as a tax shelter for investors. The Goodriches sent Huntley a flyer on Sam Smeding's Lone Mountain Dude Ranch. Huntley's investor friend was Ed Homer, an executive with Chrysler Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of the number 3 auto maker Chrysler Corp. Chrysler Realty Corp. was founded in 1967 as an off shoot from owning so many warehouses office buildings, and dealer buildings. Homer bought in to the idea but with bigger plans - he hired a ski consultant to study the idea of a ski resort. The ski area consultant was Kingsbury Pitcher, from Santa Fe, NM. Pitcher was a former ski insturctor, rancher and a graduate of Stanford Univery in economics. Pitcher was an advisor for the developers of Snowmass at Aspen, Sun Valley, Idaho and Jay Peak, VT. He developed the Sierra Blanca ski resort near Ruidoso for Robert O. Anderson. A one day consultant in 1970 was three-time Olympic gold medalist Jean-Claude Killy who heli-skied in perfect powder on the run now known as Ambush. Killy told Huntley and Pitcher conditions were "magnifique". A feasibility study was made by David J. Flood of Manduco Corp. The consultants recommendation was to build two villages - one at the base of Lone Mountain, the other in an open meadow three miles from U.S. 191. Huntley and Homer moved quickly.
Lone Mountain Ranch consisted of the Emmett Crail Cattle Ranch and later the B-K Ranch which was owned by Jack M. Hume in the 50's and 60's. Hume was the early owner and manufacturer of Sun Rite products. Sam S. Smeding bought the cattle ranch from Hume in 1962. He sold the 1,880 acres in the Gallatin River Canyon for $350,000 to Chrysler Realty. Smeding's Lone Mountain ranch land was primarily used for the Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed golf course. Palmer was age 41 when he designed the $500,000 golf course. Palmer teamed with Francis Duane and they also designed the Bay Course at Kapalua, Hawaii in 1974.
The land for Mountain Village would be secured from Burlington Northern in a land swap. The term "Big Sky" was used by the state of Montana as a marketing adjective for the entire state. Chet Huntley made a visit to Helena to ask the Governor Forest Anderson of Montana for permission to use "Big Sky" for the resort's name which was enthusiastically granted. The $1.1 million 9-mile road from US 191 was funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity and Gallatin and Madison Counties.
In 1969 Chrysler hired Gustav "Gus" Raaum, who helped develop Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to be president and chief executive of Big Sky - calling it an opportunity to start from scratch. Raaum, during his younger days, was a Norwegian Ski Jumping champion.
Chet Huntley's title was Chairman of the Board of Big Sky but also the celebrity fronting for the five corporations that owned the resort - Chrysler Realty Corp., Continental Oil (Conoco), Burlington Northern Railroad, Montana Power Co. and Northwest Orient Airlines pooled about $20 million to build the world class resort from scratch. Chet Huntley would own about 1% of the stock but as chairman of the board he had enormous influence. Huntley incurred the rath of environmental groups and many Montanans fought the development tooth and nail. Big Sky managed to open a year behind schedule in March 1974.
Huntley died of lung cancer at age 62 three days before the grand opening ceremonies. Tippy Huntley took over Chet’s marketing role. Owner Chrysler Realty decided to divest its real estate development assets and sold to Boyne USA Resorts in 1976 for $7.5 million the 204-room Huntley Lodge, 4 lifts, a shopping and convention center, and a golf course located on 2,500 acres. Everett Kircher said he had a romance with Lone Mountain after skiing it. He stated Big Sky with its 2,700 skiable vertical drop is the finest ski terrain in the country. Kircher, the sole owner of Boyne Mountain in Michigan, was well known for adapting new methods of ski instruction, and innovations in artificial snow and grooming equipment.
Gustav Raaum said the deal split Big Sky ownership in two, with Boyne Mountain/Kircher taking over the former Big Sky of Montana Inc. and a new company named Big Sky of Montana Realty Inc., who kept ownership of remaining acres and unsold condominiums. On Aug 13, 1977 Big Sky of Montana Realty auctioned off 149 condominiums raising $4.1 million to which paid off the $2.3 million in construction loans owed to First National Bank of Bozeman and Security Trust Bank of Billings. Nationally recognized Kennedy, Kenison and Wison were the auctioneers. Montana Governor Thomas Judge bought a condo for $21,000. Raaum departed Big Sky in 1977 to start an investment company in Seattle known as Hill-Raaum-Pietromonaco.
By 1999 Big Sky was averaging 300,000 skier days per year and by 2018 skier days were 500,000.
In 1999 the 10-story Summit Hotel opened, it was the largest single development undertaken in Big Sky since the resort's inception in 1974. The $45 million luxury condominium hotel has 106 units with capability of locking off to 222 hotel rooms. Some said you could ski right out your hotel window. Stephen Kircher, the project coordinator and vice president of Boyne USA said within 300 feet of the hotel's entrance are 3 high capacity lifts. The Summit included 8 two story, $1.5 million penthouses. Condo prices started at $290,000 or $337 per square foot for an 857-square-foot condo. In August 2009 the Summit hosted President Obama and family.
The Kircher family continues to operate Big Sky. Many of the college-age folks who served as bellman and bartenders in the late 70s and early 80s now serve in leadership roles at Big Sky Resort. They’ve seen Big Sky Resort grow and evolve and have played an integral part in making it happen. Now there are a combination of 21 different hotels and outside condo options. Named after Everett Kircher, the founder of Boyne USA is Everett 8800, a restaurant located at the top of Andesite Mountain (elevation 8,800 ft) and accessable only by the Ramcharger chair lift.
In 2016 Big Sky Resort' parent company, family owned Boyne Resorts, unveiled Big Sky 2025, a plan to invest $150-million dollars in mostly on-mountain improvements over the next 10 years, but the plan is already underway. This summer, the resort installed two brand new chairlifts – one of them state-of-the art. Powder Seeker, the high-speed, six-seat chairlift with heated seats, head rests and blue bubble covers, is not only the most technologically-advanced chairlift installed this year in the country, but it’s also the highest bubble chairlift in North America with the top terminal sitting at 9,812 feet.
The plan also calls for 12 upgraded or new chairlifts, including a 10-person gondola, new on-mountain restaurants, a high-alpine zip line, a new hotel, new restaurants and retail shops, a new gondola and night skiing. Also renovations of the Summit Hotel and Huntley Lodge is planned.
