I'm back from a trip to Chile with Jane McGary and Eugene Zielinski. Don and I stayed on longer in Chile and then went to Ecuador. I am beginning to put names to the 2663 pictures we took. They aren't all flowers, but a majority are. As we were photographing, I wrote down the flower names and sometimes a location, though now, a month later, some of those notes are a puzzle. What did I mean by "just N of Vallenar ... going south: just N of 516017" ? I now realize what I should have been doing: turn on the GPS (we turned it off to cut down on battery use) mark the map somehow: sticky red dots or a highlighter pen write the date and time beside the flower names so it will be easier to match them with the digital photos which have that information to the second. Now, I hope I will remember this for the next time. Oh, I just remembered about the 516017 - in Chile, the distance markers are sometimes in kilometres but sometimes in metres, and sometimes there is one every ten metres. So if anyone wants to look at the mutant alstroemeria we found there, you know exactly where to look. Diane Whitehead
