A small Red-Winged blackbird harasses a much larger Great Egret. The Egret eventually had enough and departed. David with the win.
He was head gardener at Mottisfont and retired after 36 years. He is remembered in this exhibition in the gardener's cottage on the estate.
When I found a beautiful fragrant white phlox named David, I had to buy it, because our friend David LOVES white flowers.
I love the satiny smooth texture of David. lol
Le David de Michel-Ange est une oeuvre impressionnante. L'observer est un moment assez peu commun. La mise en valeur de cet idéal masculin, à Florence, sous cette coupole de lumière, est plus que justifiée.

Nil conscire sibi
Detail of ironwork in St David's Cathedral - Heraldic device and the motto "To have a conscience free from guilt - nil conscire sibi" are those of the Finch family, a cadet branch of the Herbert's, Earls of Pembroke.
The origins of St David's Cathedral date back to the 6th century, when St David (ca. 512-587) founded his monastery here. The community was attacked many times by Vikings and many clerics and bishops were murdered by the raiders. In 1081, William the Conqueror visited St Davids to pray, and thus recognised it as a holy and respected place.
At Bishop Bernard's successful urging, Pope Callistus II added St David's to the calendar of saints in 1120 and issued a decree in 1123 that "two pilgrimages to St David's are equal to one to Rome and three pilgrimages to one to Jerusalem". Therefore, a larger cathedral was built by 1131. In 1171 King Henry II visited St David's.
Construction of the current cathedral began in 1181 and was completed shortly afterwards. However, in 1220 the new tower collapsed and in 1248 an earthquake destroyed much of the chancel, choir and transept, so these parts were rebuilt. Reconstruction followed the 13th-century style with pointed arches.
The next major phase of construction was started under Bishop Henry de Gower (1328–1347). He gave the cathedral's exterior a Gothic style. The cathedral was finally completed around 1520.
From the 14th century onwards, the ensemble was completely surrounded by a massive wall, which originally had four gates. Of these, only the tower gate has survived, which is connected to the 13th century bell tower and opens the way from the cathedral to the city centre of St. David's.
The Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries under the Tudor King Henry VIII in 1536 was a shock. The English Civil War also left significant damage to the building fabric caused by Oliver Cromwell's troops. The valuable lead covering was removed from the roof of the bishop's palace, leaving the building to decay. The roof of the transept of the cathedral was also uncovered in order to access the lead.
It was not until the late 18th century that efforts were made to preserve at least parts of the cathedral complex. After the first attempt to restore the west front failed the whole building was restored between 1862 and 1870.
The Lady Chapel
one of my favourite artists, david choe, has an exhibit on in london and newcastle at the moment and this awesome mural was done around the corner from the gallery.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini's David was another work commissioned by Bernini's patron, Cardinal Scipione Borghese. It was completed in 1624 and now stands in Room II of the Galleria Borghese.
In the famous bible story, the young shepherd David defeats the 'giant' warrior Goliath with just his sling and 5 stones. David found that the armour he was provided restricted his movement and it lies unused on the ground below him. It is a story of the triumph of intelligence and good over brute strength and evil.
Bernini infuses his work with dynamic tension. David's body is twisted backwards, his arms ready, as he prepares to launch a stone from his sling.
The face of David here is said to be a self-portrait of the then 25 year old sculptor.
Rome; July 2019
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. With a height of 5.17 meters, the David was the first colossal marble statue made in the early modern period following classical antiquity, a precedent for the 16th century and beyond.
