This manuscript was illuminated by a circle of at least five highly organized manuscript painters active in the Flemish cities of Ghent and Bruges. The principal illuminator was Alexander Bening, who painted the majority of the book's miniatures. Manuscripts produced by this circle of artists are renowned for the decoration of their borders, which typically feature a rich variety of realistically-painted flowers, birds, and butterflies. This prayer book, called a book of hours, was intended not for a cleric, but for the private devotions of a lay person-in this case, Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain (1451-1504). Isabella's coat of arms embellishes the book's frontispiece. It is unlikely that the book was commissioned by the Queen herself; rather, she probably received it as a diplomatic gift from someone courting her patronage, perhaps Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros. A Franciscan friar, Jimenez was dependent upon Isabella for his advancement, first to the post of Queen's confessor in 1492, and then to Archbishop of Toledo in 1495.

A place in the country, Ickworth Suffolk. I didn't get the shots I'd planned that evening mainly because I got distracted by the light on the grass in front of this little cottage.

Lake Michigan became frozen territory over the past 2 nights with temperatures dropping to over -20 degrees. Venturing out today was extreme...I didn't last long but what a thrill to walk along the frozen shoreline and hear the waves crashing, while sculpting new formations. Although I long for warmer days there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the rawness of mother nature at its best.
