If you ask someone what 'Spring' means to them, you will get a whole host of answers. Although I'm sure many will mention burgeoning green plants and fluctuating weather.
This time of year I think of and look forward to lupine. Whether it's on a remote slope growing wild, or cultivated and carefully cared for in our front garden, anyone that knows me knows I love lupine. From the first little budding leaves, to the tightly wound flower cones, it is a plant that seems to never lack character.
Spring in Oregon brings warmer and more dramatic weather. It will be sunny one minute, rainy the next, and then quickly back to sun. Lupine plays perfectly with these conditions. Somehow catching the rain, leaving its leaves studded with sunlit jewels.
If I were to be asked to provide an image that encompassed Spring for me, this may be it.

I asked my daughter to take a picture of the shoreline, palm trees and ocean. She exceeded my expectations.
Orange Browallia (Streptosolen Jamesonii)
I posted a shot of these blooms 2 1/2 weeks ago, not knowing the ID. My mate Pete, a Landscape Gardener, dropped in yesterday for a coffee so I asked him! Now I know!
In March 1943, about 1,000 international people living in Shanghai were interned in Chapei Civil Assembly Centre by the Japanese. As the war progressed, food rations became smaller and less varied. Many people living in the camp were helped by people living in Shanghai from countries which were neutral during WWII, like Sweden. Also Chinese employees from foreign companies sent their former colleagues food.
This photo shows a label of such a food aid package, sent by the Swedish family Asker, to the Dutch family Hennus. Mr. C.G.C. Asker worked for the Maritime Customs Service of China (as per Records of the Maritime Customs Service of China 1854 –1949 Part Three: Semi-Official Correspondence from Selected Ports by Professor Robert Bickers, University of Bristol).

"SWEDEN PRAISED FOR ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING AID TO WAR PRISONERS. By Dr. I). A. Davis, Associate Executive Director, Y. M. C. A. Worlds Committee,
Sweden and Switzerland, spared the horrors of warfare, are doing their share to lighten the burden of war victims. These two neutral countries are cooperating with the War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A., with headquarters in Geneva and New York, in sending material aid to war prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East. The rights and privileges of more than 6,000,000 prisoners of war confined behind barbed wire throughout the world are protected by the treaty called “The Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War,” signed by 47 nations on July 27, 1920. Among other things the Geneva Convention specifies that various welfare organizations may have access to war prison camps to render certain services to prisoners; thus War Prisoners Aid, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. World’s Committee carries on its stimulating programs of educational, recreational and religious activities among war prisoners, regardless of race, creed or nationality. The role that Sweden plays in this important services are manifold, for giving financial support as well as supplying materials for leisure-time activities. They provide also a large percentage of the personell necessary. From Sweden comes books, writing materials, lumber and other materials hardly found now in other european countries and piany of the neutral secretaries are permitted to visit war prison and internment camps. “We sail never forget what your Swedish colleague, Hoffman, did for us in England,” said a German prisoner of war to Gunnar Celander, Swedish representative of War Prisoners Aid, during a recent prisoner of war exchange between Germany and England, through Sweden. Boatloads of German prisoners from Canada, U. S. and .England, and British prisoners from Germany, docked at Trelleborg and Goteborg, while they transferred to boats waiting to take them home.
The Swedish Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross Lottas, Swedish rail roads and welfare organizations assumed a large portion of the responsibility of looking after these men— most of whom were invalided and blind during their short stay in the country. Food, travel facilities, reading matter, games, gramophones supplied with records of German and British music were made available to make the men comfortable. Crown princess Louise visited the prisoners, with representatives of the Swedish government, who officially welcomed them. Mr. Celander reported “We Swedes are happy that it was the privilege of our country to arrange this exchange of prisoners in the spirit of conciliation and kindness in the midst of the fire of conflict. I longed to share with the entire Y. M. C. A. and its secretaries the memory of the happy faces these homeward-bound prisoners and their many proofs of gratitude. All these men can testify that we were able to serve them in of their liberation. That is the highest reward and greatest encouragement for our work.” In Stockholm a War Prisoners Aid office is under the able leader their capacity as well as in' these days ship of Hugo Cedergren, Associate Director of Y. M. C. A., and National Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Mr. Cedergren, who has visited prisoners in Europe, U. S. and Canada, said recently in America: “The spirit of prisoners is excellent. I can say that honestly from my own experience. The treatment they are receiving is correct and good.” Mrs Ceder gren is the daughter of Prince Oscar Bernadotte, brother of King Gustaf. He is honorary president of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Pastor Carl-Erik Wenngren of the Stockholm Diocese, Associated National .Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A., is now in U. S. as a neutral representative of the Ecumenical Commission for Chaplaincy Service to prisoners of war, of the World Council of Churches, and as a representative of War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A. He is visiting camps throughout America carrying the message of the church, especially to German prisoners, conducting services and other functions of a minister. Gunnar Celander, Henry Soderberg, Gunnar Janssen, O, M. Carlman and Erik Berg have been recruited from Sweden to visit war prison camps in Germany, while Bengt Hoffman carries War Prisoners Aid service to allied fliers detained in Sweden in compliance with neutrality laws. Civilan internment camps in France ares visited by mr. and Mrs. Hemming Andermo. The Swedish representative in India is Fredrik Franklin. (In the Philippine Islands, aid to prisoners of war and civilian internees is carried on under a neutral committee of Swiss, Irish, Danish, French, Belgian and Norwegian citizens, headed by Swedish Ex-Consul Helge A. Jansson, in Manila, and appointed by W. J. K. Bagge, Swedish Minister to Japan, since July 1942, chairman of neutral citizens, responsible for Y. M. C. A. services to prisoners and internees in Japan and Japanese-controlled areas. All contact between War Prisoners Aid and Japanese government are made through Stockholm. Through Minister Bagge, War Prisoners’ Aid received the first complete information about aid work in the Philippines. Final permission was given by the Japanese for the YMCA to purchase monthly in the Philippines sorely needed relief supplies for shipment to camps there in which Allied prisoners are interned. War Prisoners’ Aid service to allied war prisoners and civilian internees in Japan and Japan-held territory other than the Philippines is headed by I. P. Troedsson, Swedish Consul to Japan, assisted by N. E. Ericson of the Swedish Legation in Tokyo, under supervision of Minister Bagge. Swedish representatives of War Prisoners’ Aid make regular visits to camps in Japan are B. Gawell, John Anderson, A. Swensson and O. Pettersson, C. G. C. Asker works in Shanghai, and in Thailand, War Prisoners’ Aid service is carried to prisoners of war by F. Ehnstedt, Swedish Consul there. N. Arne Bendtz, with headquarters in Chungking, is in charge of War Prisoners Aid Services in Free China. He was responsible for taking aid not long ago to the more than two hundred German and Italian Catholic Fathers who had been interned for more than a year in the Honan Province. Traveling hundreds of miles over famine-stricken war-ridden country by car, rickshaw and on foot, climbing bleak, rugged hills, fording gushing streams, enduring scorching heat, mud and a plague of locusts, Bendtz finally reached his destination and found that the missionaries were living in dilapidated buildings, lacked essential food and clothing and faced grave financial difficulties. “For about three weeks I lived among these Catholic missionaries sharing their daily life, which I shall never forget,” wrote Bendtz in his report to Geneva. “They had suffered a lot during the past year and we came, as one said, “like an angel from Heaven, to soothe and comfort their sorrowful hearts.” “They had not met another foreigner since internment, and the concerts and speeches made in honor of the War Prisoners’ Aid representative were visible tokens of their gratitude.” Solutions to many problems facing War Prisofters’ Aid of the YMCA, a participating agency of the National War Fund, in its service to prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East, are greatly facilitated by the cooperation of Sweden.

16" X 24" Acrylic on Canvas I painted for my mother in July 2011.
Months before my trip to the Philippines 2011 ,I asked my mother what to bring her .She told me she prefers a picture or a wall hanging .Then I said to her ,no problem I'll do painting for her ,courageously even though I wasn't in any mood to do so . So on that trip I packed few selections of canvas ,instead of oil paints I chose acrylic as it's quick medium to dry .Thinking I could paint something possibly flowers and she will see the finish work .But never knowing what would happen then.
Just the day before my flight to the Philippines ,my aunt ( mother's younger sister ) passed away ,'twas a sudden death ,she's living in Laguna ,quite awat from where my parents are . Then soon after ,it was my mother ,never thought things will turn out that way .She just went rapidly downhill ,very ill since she lost her sister and passed away two week later . It was such a tragic event for me .
So I painted this "last flowers " couple of weeks after the funeral and left it back at their house in
my mother's memory .
I thought this wasn't finished but I have to get it dry and be framed before I my flight back .Sometimes in painting you need to stop even you don't feel you are on the finish line yet ,possibility is you'll probably over do it and ruin it.
Philippians 1:21
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
I see death as a transition , something NEVER to be afraid of ,as I see it as a release right into the bossom of God to eternity . Truly I mean this . But killing oneself is not of God , surely is an abomination of God's commandment .
"If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple."
1 Corinthians 3:17

An article I came across many weeks ago ....
"Husbands, beat your wives so they will mend their ways" ,says Egyptian Islamic cleric
Paul the Apostle said in Ephesians 5 :25
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
Can you ever imagine if your priest ,bishop , church minister ,pastor tells the husbands "‘Husbands, beat your wives ....."
A license bonanza for wife beaters ,ah ....
Woooooooo goodness me ,think of that girls :)

Here's a lovely video composed by another Christian in YT:
* The DNA Altering Mark of The Beast
I do agree with what they were talking about in these videos which is purely referenced to the Bible and christian research .If you are studying the Bible you can connect the dots.
For those who are new ,this can be a little bit confusing .But one evidence of our times that you may not noticed is so much plethora of the OCCULT and its symbolisms almost everywere you can see it , they appear as logos / brands ,T-shirts ,cars ,chain shops etc ,commercialization and fascination of Halloween when many regarded them as normal and part of tradition when it's not .
Fascination of darkness and dark fashions are increasing ,vampirism , witchcrafts /vodoo labelled as folk arts and call it fun and creativity .Then you have majority of pop stars /celebrities confessing their allegiance to the Devil and also occult practioners ( take Lady Gaga, Nicky Minage , Buno , Beyonce, Katy Perry ,Rihanna , Leona Lewis , Jay-C ,Madonna , Taylor Swift ,Jack Black - the list goes on a long way and our youths maybe children ,even you --- are listening to their music devoted to darkness ,purely seducing the listeners .Woooo people ,many still are asleep or totally falling into the trap. Anyway ,I'll cut this short ,but I encouraged everyone to wake up ,be aware of the times .
Another fascinating video below from YT based on radio talkshow with Steve Quayle and Russ Dizdar exposing true darkness in our times that you need to be aware of . Not the least to say be encouraged to search for the truth and be saved in Jesus Christ by making Him your saviour and Lord before major changes happen. He is the only way to God.
DOOMSDAY -Spiritual Onslaught by Steve Quayle w/Russ Dizdar - This vid lasts nearly 3 hours . By the grace of God in Christ I hope many can understand the message .

Thank you for all your past views on my photos ,comments ,favs .

I was asked how I compose with my pinhole box camera, to which my standard response is: “I point it that-a-way”. People laugh when I say that and it’s a little moment of camaraderie. It is practically the antithesis of all things “Ansel”. “Why even bother?” may be the unspoken thought in some minds, and indeed I often wonder why I enjoy the relative lack of precision afforded -and required- by pinhole photography. In truth, there are a number of reasons.
First and foremost, perhaps, is that I cannot be Ansel. [or Ruth Bernard, or Atget, etc]. No one can. And if I try to be any of them, I won’t have enough energy left over to find out who I, myself, can be.
Next, there are surprises. Not always. Like most things photographic, true successes are few, and the time spent in the field is often the only reward I get. But occasionally, the result ends up being a gift I had not completely anticipated.
The last I might mention is surrender. When I place the camera, I have to wait. This image took 30 mins. During that time, I wandered, I wondered, I looked about, watched others work, talked to passers-by. I was alive in the moment, tethered but awake, slacking, lollygagging. Time is it’s own reward, it is precious beyond description. And this surrendering to the moment, this abiding… well, maybe I’m actually chasing this, maybe I just think I’m a photographer.
Point it that-a-way.
So I finally got an eclipse of the closest star by the largest moon. The twin suns had just gone down behind me, leaving the largest moon essentially full, and the smaller moons had not yet risen, but a couple of bright planets were also in the sky. I was running out of oxygen and didn't have time to explore the primitive outpost in the foreground...
Rose from last autumn...
We do not loosen our hands' intertwining
(Not caring so very much what she supposes),
There when she comes on us mistily shining
And grants us by silence the boon of her roses.

Everyone always asks whether it’s possible to see the Great Wall of China from space. It is not (sorry to disappoint) . But, if you know where to look, you can take a picture of it. It is impossible to see it in the tiny viewfinder of the camera (imagine the picture below in the size of a camera viewfinder), but using geographical features, you can navigate to where you think it should be and shoot it blind!!! With good guidance from our NASA instructor and with a bit of luck I got a few shots of it. The shots aren’t great, there was a lot of fog, but it’s still very visible in the middle. Zoom in and see if you can find it yourself in this collage made of 10 pictures: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Great_Wall_of_C...
On me demande de temps en temps si la Grande Muraille de Chine est réellement visible depuis l’espace, c’est une question classique à poser à un astronaute apparemment (parmi d’autres 😇). Au risque de vous décevoir : non… Mais quand on sait exactement où pointer son objectif, on peut la prendre en photo . On ne voit rien dans le viseur de l’appareil, mais en observant bien les détails géographiques des environs, on peut se repérer, pointer son appareil vers ce qu’on pense être la bonne direction et la photographier à l’aveugle. Avec les bons conseils de notre instructeur de la NASA, quel ne fut pas mon bonheur lorsqu’en regardant les photos sur un écran plus grand je me suis rendu compte que j’en avais capturé certains segments !! Les photos, avec une météo brumeuse, ne sont pas exceptionnelles, mais on distingue bien le mur qui serpente sur les crêtes. Je peux enlever ça de ma liste de lieux à photographier 😊

Did it hurt when she fell? You did not just ask that. She has all kinds of ways to make you hurt.
For your Friday Faire pleasures, a devilishly amazing outfit put together from a host of Faire merchants! We're going to start with Aii, who have put together the tantalising Bellatrix bodysuit outfit here. The outfit comes in Legacy and Maitreya fitmesh, and features separate pieces for legs, arms, shoes, a neckpiece, pauldrons, and the bodysuit itself. If you want to wear it all together (as I am here), there's a full-up combination that makes getting dressed even easier. There's a fabulous HUD included that allows you to customise all KINDS of colours here!
Aii & Ego together bring you the wings and tail sets here. The Nefarious wings are bento animated, and come in five sizes that are sure to fit your look. The Avarice tail is animated, and comes with an optional Soul flame that sits right at the tip of the tail. There's also a Soul Flame that you hold in your hand... sometimes. I'm not going to spoil this one by telling you about it, you MUST go try it out, it's too cute for words.
I've matched these up with the Black Fire skin from Fallen Gods It seemed the perfect match to go with Bellatrix. You can see that I've added the Flame Web specular tattoo from Stargazer Creations. I'm a big fan of the shinies, and when you have advanced lighting turned on, these just create a beautiful bit of fire for you.
I found a beautiful set of eyes from Petrichor at the Faire. These are the Galline eyes, and they have an amazing hud with so many choices for shadings, for gloss, and even pupil shapes! I'm also showing off the Celestial tattoo from Nefekalum. I actually picked this up a month or so ago at We Love Role Play, but it's available at Fantasy Faire right now as well!
Topping off the outfit is my favourite set of Cernunnos horns from [Gauze & Trap], the only merchant in the list who is not represented at the Faire!
I certainly don't play a demoness frequently, but it's so much fun to do something different, and it's just brilliant to find so many things to put together in one amazing package. I wish you all a wonderful Faire!
A hui hou kākou!

Oorspronkelijk was dit voertuig gewoon brandweerrood, voorzien van watertank, motorspuit en HD haspel tussen de manschappencabine en de tank. Later is het voertuig voorzien van een nieuwe opbouw en is de wagen in "dessert" camouflage gespoten.
. . . to see the pink cast! Me out on the deck with all the junk out there! No mistaking the pink! :)
Many people ask, including myself "What did the original scene look like?"
I thought I would let everyone see the original shot of this particular post. A crop, elimination of two crows, add my signature, lighten the scene and that is it. OK. So thats all my eyes and Photoshop expertise will let me do.
Original is in first comment box below.
To me vital to come back there again and again, only there you feel free, only there are answers to all questions
Today, I spoke with a friend of mine that is twenty years my senior and we talked about important matters that shall remain to ourselves. I will say however, that I told him about my connection with nature and that I was always so moved by even the little things going on all about me.
He said that, "I was blessed to show reverence to God's great work".
I thought about that throughout the rest of my work day and thought it was a cool thing to say. Nature is pretty amazing and it certainly is a huge part of my life. Perhaps more important than I know :)
