rss...Bach could be viewed as a musical cul-de-sac within the history of the eighteenth century itself: he did little to extend the musical vocabulary of his age, and his music hardly served as a basis for that of the succeeding generation. Yet what has made him a summit for many is his apparent ability to transcend historical contingency, somehow to stop the clock of outward progress and to rearrange and recreate the world as he knew it. - John Butt

Mimulus guttatus
A photo presented with Zoomify.
Here is a photo of Mimulus guttatus from my garden Zoomified.
Click on it, drag around the picture, or use the navigation controls on the panel at the bottom of the picture to see the incredible detail of the Monkeyflower blossom, the red spots, the hairs, the wonderful color.
This is one of my favorite plants. The picture was taken with a Nikon Coolpix 4500.
