When we told people we wanted to spend three months in Taiwan, they frequently asked "Why?" This album is why: amazing national parks, delicious noodles, bubble milk tea, neon night markets, friendly people, Buddhist temples and shrines, winding trains, green mountains and tea plantations, and much, much more. Here are our travels in the isle Formosa.

I got up early this morning and visited Holland Bottom Farms in Cabot, Arkansas. It was so amazing to see the sunrise over the sunflowers, pumpkin, dew, and corn.

A wonderful Sunny afternoon out with a friend
The curved line painted on the road and the upward bend of the crash rail make this LOOK like barrel distortion but it's just the odd features of the roadway.
"The Three Soldiers" statue near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. Was marred only by the presence of stinkbugs.
Taken on October 8, 2010 with a Canon Rebel XSI and the incredibly sharp Zeiss Makro-Planar ZE 100mm lens. The anamorphic was a Kowa 16-S.
I spent yesterday morning in the field with Jim Fowler photographing a population of the three-birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora). This tiny species exhiibits synchronized flowering that is triggered by two consecutive days of decreasing night temperatures. The flowers are open for one day, then begin to senesce. Jim is the author of "Wild Orchids of South Carolina" and used his knowledge of the natural history of this species to predict the exact flowering day for a population near Brevard, NC. When we arrived there were 30 or more plants in bloom. The green crest on the lip appears to serve as a nectar guide. Note the two pollinia that are located above the crest.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

This old, curved tree sprouted three new 'trunks.' Some fascinating trees in the rain forests of Northern California.
A happy memory from my childhood-- times romping through the woods, playing make-believe with sticks, rocks, ferns, & the delightful sassafras tree with its three differently-shaped leaves. Seen most recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA on July 12, 2009. In January, 2015, this photo was requested for use in a gardening article on the sassafras tree.

I photographed this group in much the same location as those in the previous photograph. While the cranes seem to collect in large groups near water in the evening and early morning, during the day they are often found more spread out in agricultural areas like this one.

The members of Three Days Grace began bashing punk chords when they were in their teens, carving an energetic sound that fueled their live performances. Three Days Grace was formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada, in 1997 by Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums).
This monument commemorates four men who died in a distillery well here. One was overcome with fumes while working, the other died in a rescue attempt.
An inscription here says:-
'Of your charity pray for the souls of Thomas Pickett, Godfrey Maule Nicholson, Frederick Eliott and Robert Underhill, who lost their lives in a well beneath this spot on 12 July 1901. The first named while in the execution of his duty was overcome by foul air. The three latter successively descending in heroic efforts to save their comrades shared the same death.'

Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
The hike began with a boat ride to the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp. We follow the Redfish Lake Creek trail southwest as it climbs gently and steadily to the Alpine Lake (of Redfish Creek) turnoff. Take the left fork and continue south past an unnamed pair of lakes. At 6 miles, the trail arrives at Lower Cramer Lake, elevation 8340', the smallest of the three Cramers. Middle Cramer Lake has a waterfall. Upper Cramer is the largest of the threesome.
