I've seen this shot done many times on flickr, but there's nothing like having a go yourself. That's Erin's engagement ring in the middle of a massive dictionary she once bought, but is only used for scrabble. It was really hard to get the ring to stay still, so it's supported by some blutac. I cloned a bit of it out, but a lot is still left.
This was taken using the old 90mm Tamron f/2.5 that I borrowed off Roy (thanks Roy!)
An old dictionary and a tete-a-tete from the garden. Flower placed close to the dictionary definition. (The dictionary didn't have a tete-a-tete definition, so had to settle for the close relative, the daffodil!) Taken with a macro lens on a tripod vertically above the flower . Natural light. Reflector to bounce light on to the flower. Basic adjustments in Lightroom as always shoot in RAW, vignette applied.
35 students from each of the Perspectives campuses gathered at the Perspectives Auburn Gresham campus on 8131 S. May St., on October 2, to engage in an all day “I Am for Peace Design Thinking” workshop to answer the following question: "If you were the mayor of Chicago, how would you use the 26 principles of A Disciplined life to create a more peaceful Chicago?"
The end goal was to select five teams to share their design prototype at the “I Am for Peace” world premiere on October 24th. For more information about the premiere and to purchase tickets, visit www.pcsedu.org/peacepremiere.
The design challenge was facilitated by Perspectives teachers. They helped the students work through the phases of design thinking: 1) Define; 2) Explore; 3) Reflect; 4) Imagine; 5) Play; and 6) Transform, to come up with solutions to the question reference above.
The students were divided into seven teams of five. Together they developed one idea and prepared it for a final presentation. To help them think about their ideas on reducing and ending violence in Chicago, the students met with a panel of community leaders dedicated to keeping Chicago safe, including Father Phelger, John Horan, Anton Seals, Cedric Whittaker, and Diana Chaney. Each panelist discussed their work to make Chicago a more peaceful city and answered questions from the students ranging from topics of the cost of keeping Chicago safe to addressing mental health issues.
From this initial workshop, five teams were selected to develop their design prototype even further and to prepare it for a final presentation at the world premiere of the “I Am for Peace” documentary film.

okay, so we're jumping way ahead in the schedule of posting photos in order. i just couldn't wait to post this one though, sue me.
tis mike and I going through that weird citylink tunnel thing on our way to the great ocean road. mike was driving and suggested fisheye of the structure overhead might look good, so me being the idiot i am hung 3 grand worth of d200 and 10.5mm out the window.
realising what i'd done after i did it, i attached the camera strap shortly after.
ahhh good times.
Few vehicles get to define a segment as the S-Class. A synonym of unparalleled luxury, the S-Class has faced off formidable competitors such as the Audi A8, BMW 7er, Jaguar XJ, or Lexus LS. It still remains the benchmark in its class, particularly the model seen here, the current generation.
Offered in short-wheel-base (W222) and long-wheel-base (V222), buyers also have the option of selecting rear- or all-wheel-drive, six, eight, or twelve cylinders, petrol or diesel. With additional body styles available (Coupé, Cabriolet, and Maybach limousine), it seems that having choices is the ultimate luxury.
Coupé buyers have fewer engine choices, however, as the 'base' engine for the two-door model is the 367 PS V6 in the S 400/S 450 4MATIC (in North America, the 'base' engine is the 455 PS 4,7-litre V8 in the S 500).
Andy Holyer is a figurative oil painter whose work is inspired by the people, places and history of the Romney Marsh and Dungeness:
"I try to seek out the dramatic in my environment. I use vivid colours and dynamic composition to evoke the narratives and atmosphere of the Romney Marsh. Whilst I am native to this area for many years I lived in Yorkshire where I studied at Leeds university, Bretton Hall college [MA 1997 fine art] and was also a lecturer at Wakefield District College for ten years.
I exhibited widely including solo exhibitions at Wakefield City Art Gallery, Doncaster Museum & Art Gallery, Newcastle and Sheffield universities amongst others. My work during this period was inspired by the post war social realist figurative and expressionist art movements that seemed appropriate to urban living in the industrial north.
I was also studio assistant to John Bratby.
Figurative painting is still central to my work but I now see myself as being more defined within the neo-romantic tradition. Freed from a perceived obligation to make social comment combined with a keen interest in my own cultural heritage I now enjoy painting in a more joyful, playful and entertaining manner."

Taraxacum (/təˈræksəkəm/)[3] is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology.[4] The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two most commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale (the common dandelion) and T. erythrospermum (the red-seeded dandelion), were introduced from Europe into North America, where they now propagate as wildflowers.[5] Both species are edible in their entirety.[6] The common name dandelion (/ˈdændəlaɪ.ən/ DAN-də-ly-ən; from French dent-de-lion 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus.
Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators.[7] Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[8]
In general, the leaves are 50–250 mm (2–10 in) long or longer, simple, lobed-to-pinnatisect, and form a basal rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange coloured, and are open in the daytime, but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that is usually leafless and rises 10–100 mm (3⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) or more[5] above the leaves. Stems and leaves exude a white, milky latex when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 20–50 mm (3⁄4–2 in) in diameter and consist entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into spherical seed heads sometimes called blowballs[9] or clocks (in both British and American English)[10][11][12][13] containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hair-like material which enables wind-aided dispersal over long distances.[citation needed]
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Between the pappus and the achene is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.[citation needed]
Description
These are individual pollen grains of the dandelion - Taraxacum officinale.
Segment of pappus fiber showing barbs
The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted, perennial, herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The genus contains many species, which usually (or in the case of triploids, obligately) reproduce by apomixis, resulting in many local populations and endemism. In the British Isles alone, 234 microspecies (i.e. morphologically distinct clonal populations) are recognised in nine loosely defined sections, of which 40 are "probably endemic".[14] A number of species of Taraxacum are seed-dispersed ruderals that rapidly colonize disturbed soil, especially the common dandelion (T. officinale), which has been introduced over much of the temperate world. After flowering is finished, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two. The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ball opens into a full sphere. When development is complete, the mature seeds are attached to white, fluffy "parachutes" which easily detach from the seedhead and glide by wind, dispersing.
The seeds are able to cover large distances when dispersed due to the unique morphology of the pappus which works to create a unique type of vortex ring[15][16] that stays attached to the seed rather than being sent downstream. In addition to the creation of this vortex ring, the pappus can adjust its morphology depending on the moisture in the air. This allows the plume of seeds to close up and reduce the chance to separate from the stem, waiting for optimal conditions that will maximize dispersal and germination.[17][18] Wikipedia
define: sacred heart
The Sacred Heart is a religious devotion to Jesus' physical heart as the representation of the divine love for humanity.
This devotion is predominantly used in the Roman Catholic Church and also in certain strains of the Anglican Church.
