Mirit Ben-Nun believes and feels that art is a vital and necessary function for human existence, it is what enriches the human race.
For Mirit it is her everyday language and her wish is that it reaches the one who observes her works of art and allows her to communicate her most positive aspects of creativity, worshiping the highest values of which humanity prides itself.
The artist is impregnated with the concept that there is no art without man, but perhaps neither is man without art. It is a kind of soul breathing.

Here is a close-up detail shot of the rain barrel and the corner of the 1860 log cabin at the Littleton Farm Museam showing some of the techniques used the pioneers expected to put into a home. They even had to save the runoff for kitchen water but this one might leak.
They knew they would have do survive the seasons in this log home so they built accordingly. They even This log home shows the marks of careful construction like the specially-cut end notches that allowed it to last 150 years. The settler brought a good skill set with him to the west. I did not spot a drain to collect rainwater from the roof for the barrel so maybe they just hauled water from a well and kept it handy by the door. Not a lot of running sink water in the day, Life was very deliberate for these pioneers!
Once past the museum building, we made a beeline for the 1860 section of the farm and were delighted by truly authentic early structures. I marveled at the structure of the log and mud structure of the chimney, wondering how it could hold up over the decades. Oscar the cat was on mouse patrol, earning his keep. Eddie was in a rush to get to Doudy before sunup, the bike track by 10:00 and the Littleton Farm Museum after that. The museum was a place that I never heard about before found it to be an excellent experience. We kept expecting good skies but only those shots aimed properly could take advantage of any opening in the clouds. The rest were in flat light. This was major work to dig out this angle. Lighting is everything and needed to pop up pictures. I admired the daisy sculpture outside but marveled at the farm exhibits.
This museum is free and the one place you must take the kiddies. They were concerned about Eddie's camera and didn't want us shooting indoor or commercial shots. They would only be so lucky if they had Eddie to do their shooting for them! Oh well rentless onward. This is a treasure trove of old agricultural exhibits and far better than others I've encountered. Plenty to keep the young occupied as we discovered them bouncing from exhibit to exhibit. This is outside, before we got in!
I waited and shot and waited for the skies to start clearing; they didn't. I know what you are thinking; enough skies already! Most kinds of skies are worth it. Today's barely worth it.

This is a collaboration done with Angelique Hellriegel. Angelique wrote the poem "Authentic Love" and asked me to do a painting for the poem. Here is the poem and my painting:
Authentic Love
Authentic love reveals itself beyond mere words;
love sounds like a song sung by hummingbirds.
Authentic love is witnessed and seen in our eyes,
as a phenomenal joy that should not be compromised.
Authentic love, we know no other kind,
once upon a time, a long journey yearning to find.
Authentic love unites our two spirits by hand,
for meticulous preparation for our grand plan.
Authentic love elevates our souls to dance,
to play in a nirvana story filled with romance.

A view of the New Orleans Riverwalk area with the Steamboat Natchez at dock.
The Natchez claims to be the last authentic Steamboat on the Mississippi River. The SS. Natchez, is a stern-wheel steamboat based in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is operated by the New Orleans Steamboat Company and docks at the Toulouse Street Wharf. Day trips include harbor and dinner cruises along the Mississippi River.
The boat seen here is the 9th incarnation of the steamboat Natchez, built in 1975. The original steamboat Natchez was built in 1823 and ran the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Natchez, Mississippi. Natchez I was destroyed by fire in 1835.
A succession of versions (Natchez II-XIII) built between 1845 and 1879, were all captained by the same man. Captain Thomas P. Leathers, was described as savage, reckless, and colorful. He loved to prove his boats were the fastest. He would sometimes throw bacon and hog fat into the engine to dramatically increase the speed of his boats and cause other boats to slow down by cutting them off. He died in June 1896, at the age of 80, after being hit by a bicyclist while walking down a New Orleans street.
