Late winter crocus, West-central Arkansas, February 22, 2018
From our property.
Crocus2
Crocus (English plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in North Africa and the Middle East, central and southern Europe, in particular Krokos, Greece, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to Xinjiang Province in western China.

Hot Rod, Spearfish Canyon Road, South Dakota, August 25, 2007
This hot rod, likely from a car show that had been going on in Deadwood, South Dakota, was traveling on US 14 (Alt) when I panned my camera with its motion and was able to get several decent images.
Hot rod2
Hot rods are typically old, classic, or modern American cars that have been rebuilt or modified with large engines modified for more speed and acceleration. One definition is: “a car that’s been stripped down, souped up and made to go much faster.” However, there is no definition of the term that is universally accepted and the term is attached to a wide range of vehicles. Most often they are individually designed and constructed using components from many makes of old or new cars are most prevalent in the United States. Many are intended for exhibition rather than for racing or everyday driving.
The origin of the term “hot rod” is unclear. For example, some say that the term “hot” refers to the vehicle’s being stolen. Other origin stories include replacing the engine’s camshaft or “rod” with a higher performance version. According to the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) the term changes in meaning over the years, but “hot rodding has less to do with the vehicle and more to do with an attitude and lifestyle.” For example, hot rods were favorites for greasers (1950s/60s youth subculture).
The term has broadened to apply to other items that are modified for a particular purpose, such as “hot-rodded amplifier.”
