Three months after the #AgaveSpike started to shoot up the flower buds are almost ready to open. One of the tiny ground spikes has an open flower, and there’s a cup of nectar underneath it. The leaves at the base are starting to look unhealthy, all the water has been sucked out of them, they are wrinkled and yellowing. #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography

Update on the #AgaveSpike - picture taken with early morning light as I was heading out early on Saturday. It’s finished branching but the buds haven’t opened yet. Now about 11 weeks after first sign of the spike. #FlowersOfMastodon #Photography

#BirdsOfMastodon #FlowersOfMastodon The #AgaveSpike flowers now have opened and there’s nectar in there, which has attracted our local hummingbird. It’s still growing a bit…

Update, still putting out its #FlowersOfMastodon shoots, this #AgaveSpike is now about 9 weeks old. #photography

The #AgaveSpike is even taller now, starting to put out #FlowersOfMastodon shoots. Has a few more to go. Hard to get a sense of scale, it’s about 25-30ft tall, higher than the top of the oak tree behind it. Trunk is about 8-10” diameter at the base. It’s coming up on two months since it started spiking.

The #AgaveSpike is now about 25ft tall, as tall as the oak tree behind it, although it’s hard to see from this perspective. #photography

@exador23 Very cool, also surprising that they can stay up! My own #AgaveSpike has been growing for 5 weeks now and is about 25ft tall and 8-10” diameter. Hasn’t started flowering yet. Still looks like a giant asparagus. The base plant is about 6ft tall, we have lots of them and this is the biggest.

One month after first emerging, the #AgaveSpike is now about 20ft tall. I had to stand further away to get it in shot. It’s almost as tall as the oak tree, and still growing fast. #photography At some point this will sprout a lot of #FlowersOfMastodon

It’s grown quite a lot since the last photo. The #AgaveSpike is about 6” diameter and the top is 10-12 feet high, the pictures make it look smaller…

Still moving up in the world. #photography #AgaveSpike - I’m trying to get exactly the same angle on it each day.

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History a view down the row of cars at the 2022 Velocity Invitational. It’s a cool event and you can watch the historic cars racing with some excellent quality drone video shots here: https://youtu.be/363hyI5fdd8

#photography #carsofmastodon ninth in my #Formula1History series is a 2017 Scuderia Toro Rosso STR12 with a Renault engine as driven by Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly. This car has an engine formula similar to today of a 1.6 liter turbo V6 with an electric hybrid boost.

@paulg yes, I have a bunch of pictures from a visit there a few years ago. I’ll find them and add them to my daily #Formula1History posts

#photography #CarsOfMastodon ninth in my #Formula1History series the 2013 Ferrari F138 as driven by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. The last super loud V8 engined car, F1 switched to V6 hybrid engines that sounded awful the following year.

#photography #carsofmastodon eighth in my #Formula1History series is a 2011 McLaren MP4/26 as driven by Jensen Button and Lewis Hamilton. FYI the MP4 name comes because in 1980 McLaren merged with Project 4, who had developed the first carbon fiber Formula1 chassis.
-
#photography #carsofmastodon seventh in this #Formula1History series. The 2009 McLaren MP4/24 driven by Lewis Hamilton had one of the first hybrid drivetrains to win a race. Photos taken at Velocity Invitational 2022 Laguna Seca. The event was partly sponsored by McLaren and they brought a lot of cool cars.

#photography #carsofmastodon sixth in my #Formula1History series. The 2005 McLaren MP4/20 driven to several race wins by Kimi Raikkonen. Aero rule changes led to the distinctive “horns” just behind the driver.

#photography #carsofmastodon fifth in my #Formula1History series. 1999 Constructors Championship winning Ferrari F399 with Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine and Mika Salo. (Mika Hakkinen won the drivers Championship that year in the McLaren I showed yesterday).

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History The 1999 McLaren MP4/14 won the championship for Mika Hakkinen. Still with tiny Sun logos on the wing mirrors, there was a big Sun logo on the bulkhead behind the nose cone. You could only see it if they broke the front wing and changed it during a pit stop. I’m posting a picture every day, from the 2022 Velocity Invitational event at Laguna Seca. This is the fourth one.
-
#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History 1995 McLaren MP4-10 as driven by Mika Hakkinen. The first McLaren with a Mercedes engine. Notice the Sun logos on the wing mirrors. I always liked McLaren a bit extra because of that. In 1996 I moved back from California to the UK and kept my job at Sun (working remotely). If I had needed a new job to move back, I’d have liked to work for McLaren…

#photography #carsofmastodon #Formula1History I’m going to post a daily series of pictures of historic formula one cars, starting with this 1987 Lotus Honda that Senna drove. This picture taken at the 2022 Velocity Invitational event at Laguna Seca.
