The Viburnum is loaded with buds and new leaves and has weathered the snow and freezing rain quite well. This has the most wonderful fragrance when in bloom- I can smell it all over the back yard. I can't wait!!
Viburnum burkwoodii 'Chenaultii'
Taken as this Rose was merely beginning to open to the World for the very first time. This photo was taken as daylight was coming to a close and nighttime was about to come upon this Rosebud. The irony was as daylight was giving way to nighttime this Rosebud was just “Coming to Life.” Gratitude and Kindness play a big part in my life being a Husband a Father, a Grandfather, a Brother and a loyal friend. I know the value of values.
Sunday afternoon at the Kunstmuseum. “It’s a madhouse,” sighs the lady at the ticket check. Compared to the cheerful crowd she has to check in, her grey-blue uniform looks tired. Young and old have dressed up fashionably for the exhibition about Dior.
Uniforms should express authority, but how neutral do they have to be? “High time to put a good, preferably younger fashion designer in charge,” says an inner voice. A museum that - after many shows of famous designers - has developed into an epicenter of haute couture should surely have more courage. How else do you express the bond with ‘fashion’? A word that unites such a myriad of meanings – from cut to shape, from mannerism to creation – that everyone can identify with it.
LEFT OR RIGHT
In any case, at the top of the central stairs, a choice has to be made. Right to the ‘New Look’ by Dior – left to the ‘Night Animals’ by Spilliaert and Braeckman. We go left because that's why we came. In the dim silence that falls on us like a downy blanket, we focus our eyes on the introductory text. And on the image of a man descending a staircase in the semi-darkness. To be precise, we only see half a man. His face is barely visible, and his clothing reveals nothing special. Could that be a harbinger of what awaits us? Certainly.
Stairs are powerful metaphors. Up, down: life has its peaks and valleys. Platinum-blonde Hollywood stars made a great show of descending a staircase. A practice that Marcel Duchamp slyly commented on with 'Nu descendant un escalier'. In this sensational painting from 1912, a character strides down like an avalanche of cubist fragments. Naked? Down the stairs? The audience was stunned, moved by laughter and anger.
Admittedly, there was movement in the image. Or rather, that was suggested very nicely. Or was it a pile of firewood that came crashing down? The cartoons in the newspaper did not mince their words. The term ‘anti-art’ was used. Isn’t Braeckman’s intensification of the unfathomable also just a provocation? Yes, there is something in that… some photos are so black that you can only guess what you see.

This is the first of four photos took on a cold and misty December weekend 25 years ago. They follow Ivatt Class 2, 46443 performing Santa Steam Specials on the SVRly. This first one sees the Ivatt moving off Bridgnorth Shed shortly after sunrise with the hard frost still covering the coals and ground.

Everywhere I went today there were seagulls--so I decided to make today my seagull shoot day. Part 8 of 12 (today).
با نُت گام هایت
دلم در شور می زند
هنوز
دور که می شوی
دلم شور...
از شور به ماهور می افتم
به گریه ولی نه
در گوشه ای که می سوزم
کوک نمی شدم به گام بعدی ات ای کاش
دور نمی شدی
که بگویم:
شعر!
دارد از نُت بیرون می زند
این دل
After #CN538 makes their set off at Les Cedres, here they are coming back onto the wye, approaching the Valleyfield Subdivision where they’ll service some customers on there.
