Making this piece, I decided that I like the way satin stitch looks but I don't like actually doing it.
Today was to be the last day of this section hike. I still had over 15 miles of hiking to make it to Goldhill Trailhead, and then to Breckenridge where my car was parked at the Bivvi Hostel. The morning was chilly but the sun was shining as I began to hike.
The closer I got to Breckenridge I started to notice thousands of down trees. There were criss-crossed tangled trees everywhere. It was real a blight on the landscape. Initially, I didn't know the cause. I thought maybe a new ski area was planned and the crew they sent to clear the mountain went a little overboard. Many of the trees were just on the side of the trail, but eventually someone started making what I assumed were pyres for burning. It really was shocking to see so much devastation.
As I was hiking through, I encountered some bikers who knew the cause. Evidently there has been a Mountain Pine beetle infestation. It is an epidemic which has covered over a million acres in both Colorado and Wyoming. The beetles burrow into the bark and lay eggs. As the eggs hatch, they eat the bark, thereby killing the tree. Very destructive.
I made it to Goldhill Trailhead which is still several miles from Breckenridge (Frisco is also accessible from here). Fortunately, not far away is a bus stop where I caught a free bus ride (which also goes to Frisco). It didn't go all the way to the hostel, but it was close enough. I had thought to stay at the hostel but I had not made a reservation and they were booked. (The Bivvi appears to be a very nice and clean hostel, but not just for hikers. All Breck visitors are welcome, so if you plan to stay, call ahead for a reservation.)
Overall, I was hiking for 7 days. I hiked segments 1-6 on the Colorado Trail. For anyone planning a long distance hike, these segments are a great introduction to the CT. Some difficult spots but some easy hiking as well. Awesome scenery without spending too much time above treeline. It was a great hike; I was ready for more!

Hippeastrum es un género de plantas perennes y bulbosas de la familia Amaryllidaceae que comprende unas 75 especies nativas de regiones subtropicales y tropicales de América, desde Argentina hasta México y el Caribe. Estas plantas, cultivadas en todo el mundo por sus vistosas flores, se las conoce popular, pero erróneamente, como Amaryllis, un género africano de Amaryllidaceae.
El nombre Hippeastrum deriva del griego y significa "estrella del caballero", fue elegido por el reverendo William Herbert en 1821 para describir a la primera especie del género, Hippeastrum reginae. La etimologÃa no parece ser en este caso de mucha ayuda para describir alguna caracterÃstica particular de la especie o del género en cuestión. La conexión "equina" en la denominación de este género fue realizada por primera vez por el botánico sueco Carlos Linneo quien denominó "Amaryllis equestris" a una especie que hoy llamamos Hippeastrum, ya que la veÃa sumamente parecida a las especies africanas del género Amaryllis. Qué es lo que pensó Linneo cuando denominó "amarylis del caballo" a esta especie quizás nunca se sabrá, no obstante, una acotación en la descripción de la misma en una revista de botánica de 1795 puede arrojar alguna luz sobre el tema. William Curtis en esa revista, al describir las dos partes de la espata que cubren los pimpollos comentó que los mismos "se levantan en un cierto perÃodo de la floración de la planta, como si fueran orejas, dando a toda la flor un gran parecido con la cabeza de un caballo". Aparentemente Linneo estuvo totalmente de acuerdo con la observación de Curtis cuando decidió bautizar a la especie.Años después, el Deán William Herbert, un botánico y clérigo del siglo XIX que fue una autoridad en las amarilidáceas, se dio cuenta que a pesar que son superficialmente similares estas plantas sudamericanas no estaban estrechamente relacionadas con las azucenas de enero o azucenas del Cabo (Amaryllis belladonna). Por esta razón, Herbert las separó del género Amaryllis y acuñó un nuevo nombre genérico que mantenÃa la conexión ecuestre de Linneo, a pesar que de un modo un tanto complicado. Herbert escribió en 1821: "Las he denominado Hippeastrum o Lirio estrella del caballero, continuando con la idea que dio origen al nombre equestris". No obstante el esfuerzo de Herbert en distinguir ambos géneros, la mayorÃa de los aficionados a las plantas ornamentales continúan denominando amarilis tanto a las plantas del Viejo como a las del Nuevo Mundo.
Son plantas herbáceas, perennes y bulbosas. El bulbo de la mayorÃa de las especies tiene de 5 a 12 cm de diámetro, es un bulbo tunicado, cuyas escamas concéntricas están formadas por las bases foliares ensanchadas. Produce de 2 a 7 hojas de 3 a 9 dm de largo por 2,5 a 5 cm de ancho. Presentan flores más o menos zigomorfas, hermafroditas, grandes (13-20cm) y muy vistosas. El perigonio está formado por 6 tépalos unidos en la base formando un corto tubo, casi siempre con un paraperigonio rudimentario, escamoso. Los segmentos del perigonio son subiguales o desiguales. El androceo está formado por 6 estambres, con los filamentos filiformes. Las anteras son dorsifijas y versátiles. El ovario es Ãnfero, trilocular, con los lóculos pluriovulados. El estilo es filiforme y el estigma trÃfido. Las flores están dispuestas en inflorescencias umbeliformes pauci- o plurifloras (de 2 a 14 flores), sustentadas por un escapo hueco. El escapo es erecto, de 20 a 75 cm de altura según la especie. La espata es bivalva, con las valvas libres hasta la base. El fruto es una cápsula trivalva, con las semillas negras. Las especies del género son en general diploides con 2n=22 cromosomas, si bien se han citado especies (como por ejemplo Hippeastrum iguazuanum) con 2n=24 cromosomas. En general las diferentes especies del género son intercompatibles dentro de lÃmites muy amplios, lo que indica que se pueden cruzar fácilmente entre sà y producir descendencia fértil.

small segmented bowl made of ash tree (basis), folloede by a ring aof beeches, seperated by small pieces of lime treee, and closed by dark walnut.
To finish the bowl I used for the first time a selfmade scraper which I formed from an ordinary turning tool by grindig it until I had a usefull shape. And it works very well!
There are between 1.5 and 2 million images uploaded here to Flickr every day. Then there is Instagram, 500px, and Imgur to name but a few more sites hosting pictures. And there are many other places to view the photogrpahs taken in their millions every day.
I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wondered what, if any, significance my pictures have in the great scheme of photographic life, and felt at times that there is nothing new in photography, and that I am doing no more than reinventing the wheel with my own efforts.. Despite that, I have striven to try and produce at least a few original images for my Photostream, and spent many hours trying to think up new and original ideas.
The idea behind this image is to take a fairly ordinary scene, but just focus on a segment of it, not in the way of a close up or macro, but showing a larger view of that scene.
Thinking about it, a photograph is simply a segment of time, captured in an image, and I wondered if it would further enhance a photo by segmenting the space, as well as the time aspect.
So this image, and the others like it are the results of putting the idea into practice. And I am pleased enough with the results of this experiment to look out for more images like these. Perhaps it may even turn into a project. Of course, It is not a totally unique way of presenting an image, but it is the doing of it intentionally, that I have not seen before.
About 10 mm long.
The following information is from www.knowyourinsects.org at www.knowyourinsects.org/Coleoptera1_page2.html#Coccinella...
and www.knowyourinsects.org/Aphids1.html .
Seven-Spot Ladybird Beetle, also known as Seven-Spot Ladybug, larva, Coccinella septempunctata, family Coccinellidae (the ladybugs or ladybird beetles).
The larva of the Seven-Spot Ladybird Beetle can be distinguished from other ladybird beetle larvae by the red markings on its abdomen. It has no red markings past the fourth abdominal segment.
Take a close look at the aphids note the cornicles, which are the small tubes that extend from the end of the abdomen. The cornicles secrete fluid that is distasteful to many of an aphid’s predators, so it serves a protective function.
Gardeners like Seven-Spot Ladybird Beetle larvae because they prey on plant-damaging aphids and sometimes purchase ladybug eggs or larvae to reduce aphid populations.

Each segment seems to grow linearly (about 50 pixels per segment in the original-size photo), and new segments seem to be added approximately linearly (about one every two days).

Day 3 Sargents Mesa (Segment 16/17) to random campsite (Segment 17)
Thermometer said 38f this morning but it felt colder. Probably wasn't though. Lots of activity in Sargents Mesa last night. Heard elk bugling often and thought I heard a dog at least once. Definetly heard some coyotes around 5 or 6. They sounded close.
Today was anticipated to be dry so I carried alot of water. Usually the pack gets lighter the longer you're out due to lightening the food bag. However, when you have to carry extra water you don't realize that benefit. I met some hunters who gave me an extra bottle of water and took my trash. They actually knew what trail magic was and it was very much appreciated!
If you spend enough time hiking, it is inevitable that you will eventually take a tumble. There were alot of rocks today and I did fall while hiking downhill. No injuries though.
A possible water source at Razor Creek was dry where trail crossed but I found a small pool upstream several hundred feet. I was able to dip and fill 32 oz bag. Enough for a hot meal and some extra for tomorrow. I continued hiking but once again stopped early for dinner around 3. Freeze dried spaghetti was on the menu. Typical freeze dried meals are more expensive but easier to prepare. They are also better tasting than tuna packets and creamy noodles of some sort.
After dinner, I made it up and over a few more bumps. Kinda steep but not too long. I found a campsite maybe 1/2 mile before where I planned to stop. A few hikers passed by quickly in search of water.
While hiking 15.4 miles today, the temp got up to 80. Nice increase from the morning.

Day 1
TN Pass to random pond
After resuming my hike, I crossed a stream at Longs Gulch. The trail became a bit more difficult. There were some switchbacks and 'S' turns and it was up and over a few bumps. Came out of the trees a few times. The saddle at Porcupine Lake looked real nice for camping, but it was too soon to stop for the night. Had another climb to do with a short side hill section and exposed views. I believe I could see US24 far below. The highpoint for the day at 11, 702' was shortly thereafter but was back in the trees.
It was then downhill again and fairly easy hiking. I stopped for dinner before campsite. It got real cloudy but did not rain. Passed several more lakes before setting up camp near a small pond, just a random campsite.
I thought it might be cold so I brought a 'Woobie' (poncho liner) just in case. 10.9 miles for the day ... felt pretty good.
Seller's Description:
"Just arrived, an amazing example of the the highly desired, American family
station wagon. The station wagon segment of the collector car business is
one of the hottest areas collectors are buying and values of wagons are
increasing at a faster pace than most segments. Most people experienced
a station wagon in their childhood and would love for their families to share
the same experience. The days before minivans dominated the marketplace,
the station wagons offered more family seating than any other vehicle.
This lovely example was sold new in New York state and was
obviously not driven in the winter time. It remained with two owners
until brought to Florida earlier this year. Traveling only about 50K miles over
the last 28 years and ready for its new owner and family fun !
