Before Novemeber ends I wanted to take pictures of this month's display. It seems like the theme was Black & Nude. I had a light bulb moment with Veronique as I wanted to add her with the NU.Face girls just to show everyone who's queen! I've always wanted to see Karolin in this nude sweater with trousers. I added these embroidered gloves for extra chicness. A High fashion moment! I love a redhead in nude and I've always imagined Giselle in this Jason Wu Point D'esprit tulle slip dress with Swarovski crystals. Perfect! But here comes Nadja breaking all the rules in a red belted suit. She's not one to fade into the background. But they all look stunning right? I'm obsessed!
From Wikipedia:
Dinosaur Provincial Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located about two and a half hours drive southeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada or 48 kilometres, about a half hour drive, northeast of Brooks.
The park is situated in the valley of the Red Deer River, which is noted for its striking badland topography. The park is well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil locales in the world. Forty dinosaur species have been discovered at the park and more than 500 specimens have been removed and exhibited in museums across the globe. The renowned fossil assemblage of nearly 500 species of life, from microscopic fern spores to large carnivorous dinosaurs, justified it becoming a World Heritage Site in 1979.
The Dinosaur Provincial Park Visitor Centre features exhibits about dinosaurs, fossils, and the geology and natural history of the park. There is a video theater, fossil prep lab area, and a gift shop. Public programs are offered in the summer.
John Ware's Cabin is a restored early 20th cabin that was used by John Ware, an African-American cowboy and important figure in Alberta's ranching history. The cabin is located near the visitor center and is open on select days in the summer.
Established on June 27, 1955 as part of Alberta's 50th Jubilee Year with the goal of protecting the fossil beds, the first warden was Roy Fowler (1902-1975), a farmer and amateur fossil hunter.
Until 1985 discoveries made in the park had to be shipped to museums throughout the world for scientific analysis and display, including the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. This changed with the opening of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology 100 kilometers upstream in Midland Provincial Park adjacent to Drumheller.
The park was established as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on October 26, 1979 both for its nationally significant badlands and riverside riparian habitats, and for the international importance of the fossils found here. An official dedication ceremony and plaque unveiling were held at the Park's overview area on June 19, 1980.
The park protects a very complex ecosystem including three communities: prairie grasslands, badlands, and riverside cottonwoods. Its ecosystem is surrounded by prairies but is unique unto itself. Choruses of coyotes are common at dusk, as are the calls of nighthawks. Cottontail rabbits, mule deer, and pronghorn can all be seen in the park; the prairie rattlesnake, bull snake and the red-sided garter snake are present as well. Curlews and Canada geese are among the 165 bird species that can be seen in the spring and summer. Some of the most northern species of cactus, including Opuntia (prickly pear) and Pediocactus (pincushion) can be observed in full bloom during the later half of June.
The sediments of Dinosaur Provincial Park span 2.8 million years and three formations: the terrestrial Oldman Formation at the base of the strata, the terrestrial Dinosaur Park Formation above, and the marine Bearpaw at the top. The Dinosaur Park Formation, which contains most of the fossils from articulated skeletons, was primarily laid down by large rivers in very warm temperate coastal lowlands along the western margin of the Western Interior Seaway. The formation dates to the Late Campanian, about 75 million years ago. The Dinosaur Park Formation spans about 1 million years.
Dinosaur Provincial Park preserves an extraordinarily diverse group of freshwater vertebrates. Fish include sharks, rays (such as the durophage Myledaphus), paddlefish, bowfins, gars, and teleosts. Amphibians include frogs, salamanders, and the extinct albanerpetontids. Reptiles include lizards (such as the large monitor Paleosaniwa), a wide range of turtles, crocodilians, and the fish-eating Champsosaurus. Mammals such as shrews, marsupials, and squirrel-like rodents are also represented, although usually only by their fossilized teeth, rather than bones.
Mega-plant fossils are rare in the park, but pollen grains and spores collected from here suggest that these Campanian forests contained sycamore, magnolia and bald cypress trees, along with Metasequoia.

No it is not a premature fireworks display.....it is a blown glass display by Dale Chihuly. Beautiful during the day but even nicer here at night when it was lit up. (google him)
I have been working on my model the last two Sundays. I had no idea what I was going to do for my window display. I wasn't really happy with the first one but I glued it all together so that's what it's going to be. :D
Yesterday we visited one of our favourite spider haunts in Wandering particularly to photograph this unusual jumping spider. This one displays brilliant UV refraction under certain light conditions. Jean only had a hurried glimpse that resulted in us wanting to return to the area again for a better result. This helps to confirm a sighting 11 June 2015 www.flickr.com/photos/jean_hort/19843661185/

Beringia is defined today as the land and maritime area bounded on the west by the Lena River in Russia; on the east by the Mackenzie River in Canada; on the north by 72 degrees north latitude in the Chukchi Sea; and on the south by the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula. It includes the Chukchi Sea, the Bering Sea, the Bering Strait, the Chukchi and Kamchatka Peninsulas in Russia as well as Alaska in the United States. The area includes land lying on the North American Plate and Siberian land east of the Chersky Range. Historically, it formed a land bridge that was up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) wide at its greatest extent and which covered an area as large as British Columbia and Alberta together(1,600,000 square kilometres (620,000 sq mi)). This land bridge connected Asia and North America at various times during the past.

Festiniog Railway Company: the 40.2 km long Welsh Highland Railway (WHR, or Rheilffordd Eryri) connects Caernarfon with the harbour of Porthmadog. The line opened in 1922 and closed in 1937. Many years later, was partially reopened in 1980 as a tourist railway thanks to the efforts of Welsh Highland Light Railway Ltd volunteers society. After the involvement of Festiniog Railway Company, the line was progressively rebuilt, reopening by sections between 1997 and 2011. The line had the same track gauge as the original Ffestiniog Railway (597 mm).
At Dinas station, an old vertical boiler steam locomotive displayed as a monument.
The pineapples were all neatly displayed on grand reopening day, complete with an odd pineapple face or two to be found close to eye level!

An advert for advertising; and one that links together three importnat names in the history of UK advertising. It was issued in August 1927 and is one of a series for the noted London based advertiisg agency of W S Crawford. The company was founded by William Crawford in 1914 and for much of it's existance was based in High Holborn; it's later HQ building with a striking stainless steel facade survives close to Holborn Tube Station. During the 1920s and '30s they maintained an office in Berlin and this speaks of the ready acceptance of continental practises and movements, such as the Bauhaus, on Crawford's approach to business for their clients.
One name most associated with the company at this time, and for the next two decades, was that of Ashley Havinden who had joined as a trainee in 1922 and who by 1929 was artistic director. Interestingly the lettering in this advert slightly echoes lettering designed by Havinden for the important client of Chrysler Cars and that was later issued by Monotype as a commercial typeface. That said the advert is by Edward McKnight Kauffer who by this date was one of the most successful designers and artists at work in advertiisng. American born but since WW1 based in London, McKnight Kauffer's early break had come with commissions for Frank Pick at the London Underground Group and he became one of the more influential 'advertising artists' in the 1920s and '30s.
This advert suggests looking through a magnifying glass - a visual pun on the 'search' - to discover the text that helps sell. It is likely that the main text is set in, or the lettering based on, Koch's Neuland typeface which would be apt given that Crawford's at the time had a branch office in Berlin.
Grackles are beautiful and their faces show such personality. Finding this one displaying was another highlight of the day. (I saw a decent number of common grackles over the course of the afternoon.)
Beautifully designed holiday madness in the display window at Edgewater Antique Mall. Easily the coolest Christmas display window in the 'hood :-)

"A highly unusual mannered building, the Display Block was designed by its owner, Lesley A Vail, who rejected the plans presented to him by the respected architect, Nahum Barnet. It was built in 1912 as an office building and Vail's rejection of contemporary architectural taste resulted in a significant art-nouveau design."
