This manuscript was created in Flanders ca. 1270-80. Originally a standard liturgical Psalter, it was converted in the fourteenth century for the use of an English owner, possibly a cleric, through the addition of a second litany focused on English saints, and an Office of the Dead. The illuminations, comprised of vignettes depicting labors of the months in the calendar and historiated initials within the psalms themselves, belong to the first phase of production, and are characteristic of Psalter iconography from the Bruges-Ghent region during this period.

This small Book of Hours is especially interesting for its profusion of humorous drolleries. Humans, animals, and hybrids are featured in the margins of each page of the book. The artists rendered in small scenes a variety of actions, like cooking, playing game, climbing, fishing, making music or moving the bodies in a dance. These drolleries amuse the faithful during his prayers, while showing scenes that work as metaphors of the soul fighting the vices. The original female owner seems to have been established in the diocese of Cambrai, judging from the use of the Office of the Dead. Several provenance episodes are evidenced by the book in the signatures on the leaves at the beginning and end of the manuscript. A priest in the sixteenth century wrote a message in code on fol. 1v asking to return to him the book if lost. Members of the ducal house of Savoy owned this book of prayer in the seventeenth century, as evidenced by the gilt armorial shield of Charles Emmanuel II (1634-75), duke of Savoy, stamped on the covers.

Navaratri is a festival celebrating the nine forms of Goddess Durga. On the second night, Goddess Brahmacharini Devi is venerated. Here ‘Brahma’ means meditation.
She shows us the importance of Sadhana and how our penance is an expression of devotion to the Divine. She also shows that our practice does take time, hence the aspect Brahmacharini is the Goddess of patience.

I adore the expression on this woman's face as she washes in the holy water of the Ganges. Have a look at the BIG version for best effect.
Part of a series of photos I'll be uploading as I get some old negs scanned.

This Book of Hours was created ca. 1400-1415 in either Flanders or Artois. There are twenty-three miniatures, six historiated initials, and drolleries, the latter found mainly on pages with historiated initials. The Hours of the Virgin are connected to the collegiate church of St. Pierre in Lille, as evinced by the hymn "Ueni Creator" at Lauds and None, as well as the antiphon "Cum iocunditate" at Compline. The book also contains an Office of the Dead that corresponds to Premostratensian use, and a Prayer to Christ that contains an introductory attribution to Friar Bertrant, priest and cardinal at an unidentified foundation dedicated to St. Cecilia. Additionally, the Suffrages are interpolated throughout the Hours of the Virgin from Lauds to Compline.

DSC_0397: I took this picture at the Riverfront park in downtown Moncton today at 8:15 AM on my way to work.
Its been an unusually mild winter so far with very little snow - especially compared to last year when it was near record breaking for accumulation here -- now the grass is almost bare.
The sunrises and sunsets for the past week or two have been really colourful on most days, and today was such a day.
I got a good look at the sun rising on my drive into work today and just so happened to have my camera and new tripod with me - for a video shoot I was doing at lunch time for an upcoming Krusty video.
I decided to nip over to the river and take this shot of the sun coming up behind the Celtic cross.
Since Valentine's Day is coming soon and Sue's been away this week, I decided to call this one "Love and Devotion". Our wedding had a Celtic theme; even though neither of us are of Scottish or Irish background really.
Absolutely no post processing at all on this shot.
