Still remember when the Commodores song came out...wasn't into Marvin Gaye then and didn't know much about Jackie Wilson as I was a rebellious teen into Punk and New Wave but through the years my musical tastes have diversified and have considered myself a Marvin Gaye fan since.

BTW in case you are wondering the title has nothing to do with this picture. MJ tribute week.
It was an epiphany, all in my head. I was glad it came out the way i wanted. Inspired by a movie I had watched earlier last week, although that was of an Industrial building with an exhaust fan turning ever so slowly and rays of light entering the building throgh the rotating fan! So i had to adapt..The hardest thing was capturing the dust in focus with the rest of the image sharp and getting the right exposure. The dust was collected from around the garden shed where this was shot and sprinkled from the top.
PS: This was a very tough shot for me, specially to capture the dust in a dark room. Had to keep the image as dark as possibe with a fast enough shutter speed to capture the dust static. very tricky! Right throughout I was thinking "It's easier said than done"!
self timer, had both hands busy with the dust sprinkling!

i remember picking up one or two heart shaped stones from the beach, but never this much.
i'm thinking about framing these in a shadow box for my workroom.
which one is your favorite?
Some faced, self-collected rough. This material has beautiful patterns, but also lots of incompletely healed fractures, pits, voids and soft spots. Since I prefer to make freeforms, and am open to unanticipated outcomes, I do like it. I need to have a few more slabs cut, and cab it up.
AUGUST 31, 2011: A team of scientists has collected enough high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope images over a 14-year period to stitch together time-lapse movies of powerful jets ejected from three young stars.
The jets, a byproduct of gas accretion around newly forming stars, shoot off at supersonic speeds in opposite directions through space. These phenomena are providing clues about the final stages of a star’s birth, offering a peek at how our Sun came into existence 4.5 billion years ago. Hubble’s unprecedented sharpness allows astronomers to see changes in the jets over just a few years’ time. Most astronomical processes change over timescales that are much longer than a human lifetime.
Caption: A long jet of material has burst out of a dark cloud of gas and dust that hides the newly formed star. The blue, fan-shaped region on the left is the edge of a cavity illuminated by the fledgling star. A massive clump of jet material collides with upstream gas, creating the white bow-shaped shock wave on the right.

My husband got some homemade goodies over the holidays from a coworker. I was thrilled to see the glas :). I have had multiple things in it already. Cleaning up around the house i stombled over many acorns my daughter had collected during the fall already...then she told me she would love to fill it all the way up...and thats what we did... for me it's so much more than just a glas with acorns and leaves though <3 !! :
As the cab of Pere Marquette 1225 fills with steam, the engineer sits calm and collected as he blows down the engine prior to departure for the North Pole (Ashley, MI).
i've been looking for this image in my archives forever. i really wanted to re-edit it and fully realize my vision for what it was meant to be then.
“Following rendezvous, and when the LEM is approximately 500 feet from the coupled Command/Service Modules, the LEM’s Commander will manually maneuver the module to a docking attitude and increase or decrease the rate of closure until complete docking is accomplished.
Once the coupling process is complete, the two-man LEM crew prepares to transfer to the Command Module and rejoin the third member of the Apollo team. Pressures between the modules are equalized, LEM subsystems are turned off, and scientific equipment and collected specimens are passed into the Command Module. When the transfer is complete, the LEM is jettisoned in orbit, and left to impact upon the moon at a later time. This concludes the LEM mission.”
Reads like an early Grumman description, a little stiff & 'clinical', not something composed by a journalist.
I’ve never seen this depiction before, and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a rendition of the Command/Service Modules by Mr. Kavafes. Which btw is sporting dual dissimilar antennas, interesting. Finally, note also the LEM Commander’s face, visible through the spacecraft’s window.
Collected my daughter from Uni yesterday. She is studying in Gloucester which is handy for Slimbridge
Pseudopanurgus rugosus, collected by the glorious State of Virginia Natural Heritage group. This whole group is a bit of a nightmare. Uncommon, tiny, often very similar looking and widely ignored by taxonomists. I often have to leave them as sp....or as we say 'spuh'. Which is not something that should be happening in this modern sophisticated, send a man to the moon, sort of society. But it is. P. rugosus...not so difficult. Has 'rugged' topography on its back...thus its name.

Over the years the Mahy family had collected a huge and also unique collection of classical and special cars. Grandfather Ghislain Mahy (1907-1999) started in the early 1950s to buy old cars just to prevent them from being scrapped. Initially he was intended to restore them, but soon his collection had grown beyond limits. In the 1980s he possessed over 1000 classical cars. So most cars were kept and put aside in the state as found. Only a small amount could be restored: a few of them can be admired in Autoworld, Brussels. See: www.autoworld.be/onthaal
After the death of patron Ghislain his son Ivan (84) and grandson Michel (56) became his successors in charge of the family treasures.
In the 1990s the Mahy collection had to leave the old Ghent Winter Circus building. Between 1996 and 1999 a huge operation was executed to move the whole collection to a new home in an old deserted textile factory in in Leuze-en-Hainaut (B). In this new museum some 1000 classic cars can be seen.

Some fifty original and unrestored cars were to be seen here at this temporary exposition at the Ghent Vynckier Site. All selected jewels are of the most extraordinary cars automobile history can offer.
Motorwagen-Werke A. Horch & Cie was founded by August Horch (1868-1951) in 1899. The company produced high quality luxury cars and reached a high level during the Interbellum. A lot of them were restyled by different coachwork companies like Voll & Ruhrbeck, Wendler, Karosserie Gläser and Karosserie Erdmann & Rossi.
In 1932 Horch merged with Audi, DKW and Wander to Auto Union.
The Horch 853 was based on the 1935 850-Series.
In 1945 the Horch plants based in Zwickau were confiscated by the Soviet occupiers. Later on the little Trabant would roll out of the factory.
This original and unrestored Horch was sold in 1937 to the Austrian actor Willi Forst. Due to his principles Forst wasn't loved under the Nazis and this car came into the hands of the German occupiers. It ended as an officers car in Belgium. In the early 1960s Mahy saved the car from being scrapped.

Collected today from Devon is a new addition to the Brighton Horizon fleet this Volvo B10M Plaxton Excalibur 57 seater coach. With an increase in numbers on one of our school contracts the need for a higher capacity non standard vehicle is needed (only offer 49 execs). Originally the plan was to acquire a short term 57 seater while we upseat one or possibly two of the Levante’s to make them high capacity. I was very hesitant to even consider operating something like this again but 57 seaters are very hard to come by and short term won’t hurt. On the drive back to Sussex my opinion certainly changed from only wanting this is a short term motor which will cover the extra capacity needed and then can be sold as quickly as possible and be forgotten about to this is actually a really nice coach. It has to be the tidiest Plaxton Excalibur i’ve seen and inside despite being the oldest even the dashboard buttons have no signs of wear too! When new it would of been a high spec Excalibur with a telma (not standard on these back then) , front fog lights & air con all optional extras at the time. This coach will also be registered K123 BUS in the coming weeks
The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs (Latin "corbicula" is a diminutive of "corbis," a basket). The corbicula is a polished cavity surrounded by a fringe of hairs, into which the bee collects the pollen. A bee moistens the forelegs with its protruding tongue and brushes the pollen that has collected on its head, body and forward appendages to the hind legs. The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs. Foraging bees bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who pack the pollen into cells with their heads.

I collected beechleaves one afternoon while I was waiting for marin to part from his schoolfriends, and I tore them apart in the evening. then I rose before the sun on the following day, and walking to the tip of the peninsula, and stuck them (with spit) to one of the rushes growing there.
there's another version of this in my land art set. this one is closer to the real thing.
The Library of Birmingham which was designed by Buro Happold and built at a cost of £188 million. In Centenary Square, Birmingham, West Midlands.
Birmingham City Council looked into relocating the library for many years. The original plan was to build a new library in the emerging Eastside district, which had been opened up to the city centre following the demolition of Masshouse Circus. A library was designed by Richard Rogers on a site in the area. However, for financial reasons and reservations about the location this plan was shelved. The Council suggested that the Library be split between a new building built between the Rep Theatre and Baskerville House at Centenary Square, which until 2009 was a public car park (to house the main lending library) and a building at Millennium Point in "Eastside" (to house the archives and special collections).
In August 2006, the Council confirmed the area between the Rep Theatre and Baskerville House as the future site for the library. Capita Symonds had been appointed as Project Managers for the Library of Birmingham. The council's intention was to create a "world class" landmark civic building in Centenary Square. Not long after this, the two-sites idea was scrapped and the archives and special collections will move to the site at Centenary Square.
Preparation of the ground for building, and archaeological work between Baskerville House and The Rep had begun before planning permission had been granted. Planning permission was finally granted and approved by Birmingham City Council in December 2009. Building work, which was undertaken by Carillion, commenced in January 2010, with a completion schedule for 3 September 2013. A topping out ceremony to mark the completion of the highest part of the building took place on 14 September 2011.
At the 2014 RIBA West Midlands Awards, the Library of Birmingham was named overall West Midlands building of the year Mecanoo architect Patrick Arends won emerging architect of the year and Birmingham City Council won client of the year. In the June 2014 birthday honours, the library's director, Brian Gambles, was made MBE "for services to libraries". On 17 July 2014 the Library of Birmingham was nominated as one of the six short-listed buildings for the 2014 Stirling Prize, awarded for excellence in architecture.
The library has a number of nationally and internationally significant collections, including the Boulton and Watt archives, the Bournville Village Trust Archive, the Charles Parker Archive, the Parker collection of children's books, the Sir Benjamin Stone photographic collection, the Wingate Bett transport ticket collection, the Warwickshire photographic survey, the British Institute of Organ Studies archive and the Railway and Canal Historical Society Library.
The specialist Shakespeare Memorial Room was designed in 1882 by John Henry Chamberlain for the first Central Library. When the old building was demolished in 1974 Chamberlain's room was dismantled and later fitted into the new concrete shell of the new library complex. When the Library of Birmingham was built, it was again moved, to the top floor. It houses Britain’s most important Shakespeare collection, and one of the two most important Shakespeare collections in the world; the other being held by the Folger Shakespeare Library. The collection contains 43,000 books including rare items such as a copy of the First Folio 1623; copies of the four earliest Folio editions; over 70 editions of separate plays printed before 1709 including three "Pavier" quartos published in 1619 but falsely dated. There are significant collections from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, a near complete collection of Collected Works, significant numbers of adaptations, anthologies and individual editions.
The Boulton and Watt Collection is the archive of the steam engine partnership of Matthew Boulton and James Watt, dating from its formation in 1774 until the firm's closure in the 1890s. The archive comprises about 550 volumes of letters, books, order books and account books, approximately 29,000 engine drawings and upwards of 20,000 letters received from customers. Boulton and Watt manufactured the screw engines for Brunel's SS Great Eastern and the archive includes a portfolio of 13 albumen prints by Robert Howlett documenting the construction of the Great Eastern, including a rare variant of the Brunel portrait of 1857.
Collected with vision generates a surprising dialogue between the present and the past.

NEW JERSEY’S BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
“With 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year — up from just a single nest in the early 1980’s — the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. “The thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.”
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.
