"Seabirds" from the 2018 EP entitled An Extended Play
Music and lyrics by Pizzagirl
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kwYOFmOfi8
Well I take my glasses off when I see a beautiful thing
I see it better, see it better, see it better
Just because I'm different skin
Do you think I matter?
Do you think, do you think at all?
Do you feel angry if I do something or say something?
I wonder which ones which
Don't tell me about my body
Don't tell me about my body
When you see it twitch
When you see it twitch
We're just a matter of matter
But I know you’re something else
I love the way things have a double life
We're just a matter of matter
But I know you’re something else
I love the way things have a double life
But if you look hard enough you will never find it
Because the seabirds, they're in my body
Because the seabirds, they're in my head
I wish the seabirds were all around me
I wish the seabirds would leave me dead
Seabirds, seabirds
There's this stream right under this bridge
And I go everyday everyday
The water is thin just like your skin
And it's cold and it's cold and it's pale
We run for meters on bathroom tiles
And we've walked on solid ground
Well I like your body, I like your body
I like the sound, like the sound, like the sound
Like the sound, like the sound, like the sound
Like the sound, like the sound, like the sound
We're just a matter of matter
But I know you’re something else
I love the way things have a double life
We're just a matter of matter
But I know you’re something else
I love the way things have a double life
But if you look hard enough you will never find it
And if you look hard enough you will never try
I wish the seabirds were in my body
I wish the seabirds were in my head
I wish the seabirds were all around me
I wish the seabirds would leave me dead
I wish the seabirds were in my body
I wish the seabirds were in my head
I wish the seabirds were all around me
I wish the seabirds would leave me dead
I've been absolutely obsessed with this song from the very first time I heard it. Lyrically and musically brilliant.
Thank you for your support.
The Spandau Citadel (German: Zitadelle Spandau) is a fortress in Berlin, Germany, one of the best-preserved Renaissance military structures of Europe. Built from 1559–94 atop a medieval fort on an island near the meeting of the Havel and the Spree, it was designed to protect the town of Spandau, which is now part of Berlin. In recent years it has been used as a museum and has become a popular tourist spot. Furthermore, the inner courtyard of the Citadel has served as an open air concert venue in the summertime since 2005.
A statue entitled The Prospector, sculpted by Alonzo Victor Lewis, serves as the centerpiece of the grounds of the Sitka Pioneer Home. The sculpture was supposed to be modeled after real-life pioneer William Clark "Skagway Bill" Fonda, a resident of Skagway and originally of Fonda, New York. This statue is the larger of two models that Lewis created. The smaller of the pair sits in Seattle's Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park in Pioneer Square. After more than three tons of clay and 21 years of fundraising, the sculpture was finally shipped to Sitka in time for its dedication at 1949's Alaska Day.

From Here to Eternity (1953) is famous for its eight Academy Awards, its iconic beach scene, and the method-acting approach of Montgomery Clift. Clift learned to box and play the bugle for his role as Prewitt, and the iconic beach scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr was a last-minute idea from the director. The film was based on a 1951 novel by James Jones, and its success revitalized Frank Sinatra's film career, earning him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor! The more you know.....

The original houseboats are charmingly restored ships that hail from Amsterdam’s seafaring and trading legacy. Many of these are more than 100 years old and retain original features alongside modern amenities, such as electricity, heating and running water. In the 1960s and 1970s, an influx of more modern houseboats appeared as a solution to increasing demand for housing. This type of houseboat, known as a woonark (literally a house ark), is built on a floating pontoon and typically isn’t motorised. Luxuriously furnished houseboats, sometimes built over multiple floors and complete with adjoined terraces and gardens, can be seen all around Amsterdam’s most picturesque canals.
The houseboats in Amsterdam are permanently anchored to a specific address. A special permit called a ligplaats entitles a houseboat owner to moor their home in a certain spot. These permits are in high demand, and as with all properties, a prime location significantly increases the value of a houseboat.

Self portrait created for club competition entitled "proverbs and sayings". This is a composite of 4 images (I hope you don't really think I have an egg inside my head!).
1) Me with spoon in setting
2) Setting without me
3) Close up of egg and yolk using exactly the same lighting set-up
4) Close up of top of egg upturned using same lighting set up.
These 4 layers were then intertwined in Photoshop CS2 mainly using layer masks with a few additional bits of jiggery pokery.
I tried using my 17-55mm lens first but just couldn't get the angle I wanted so used my Sigma 10-20mm lens to achieve the results I wanted.

Back in 2010, the Illinois Railway Museum started a series of WWII reenactments. Entitled "The Anzio Express & North Platte Canteen," the reenactments depicted soldiers boarding at their local depot before departing for war, the rail yard battle of Anzio, Italy, the troops returning from war, and finally a "canteen," whereby housewives of any given town greeted returning troops at their local depots with home-cooked food. These "canteens" were set up at depots all across the country, with the first one in North Platte, Nebraska.
In this particular scene, the troops have returned from the front lines and are now waiting at the depot to "go home." After the troops boarded the train, then the depot platform would be transformed into a canteen, with tables set up and food brought out for the reenactors. The platform was then cordoned off so as to allow the returning troops to have no interference from the public, as well as to keep the public away from the food.
The gentleman depicted here is a WWII reenactor named Malte Grohnert who has appeared in some movies and television productions.
"Vintage"
This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 13th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Vintage." This image is quite fitting for this particular theme. Not only was this taken at a WWII reenactment, but it also took place at the oldest operating passenger depot west of Pittsburgh. East Union Depot, as it is now known, was built in 1851 in Marengo, IL, the next town to the west of Union. It remained in operation until passenger service ceased after WWII. It was acquired by the museum and moved to IRM in 1967. Since then it has appeared in several period movies, most notably the baseball movie "A League of Their Own."
The depot was the reason why the WWII Reenactment took place at the museum. It would serve as an authentic vintage backdrop for the "Departing For War" and the postwar "North Platte Canteen" scenarios. Museum volunteers and reenactment coordinators decked out the depot, both inside and out, in reproductions of vintage WWII posters. The famous Uncle Sam army recruitment poster is visible in the top center of the frame.
And since there was nothing in this image to date it to 2010, I wanted to "vintage" it up as much as possible. Through a series of Photoshop techniques, I desaturated and sepia-toned the background. Then through selective-coloring, I desaturated the reenactor and added noise to replicate film grain to give this image that "filmic" look. I doubt I could recreate this process now. I did not label my Photoshop layers then as I do now, nor did I record the steps. I wish I had though, because this would have made for a great Action, as the result came out pretty good. To date this is still one of my favorite "photoshopped" images.
My art show, entitled Broadcast, will be happening on April 25 at Resistor Gallery in Toronto.

A work entitled "Remembering Seletar, The Sound of Nature, Memories" 2012, by the Singaporean sculptor Lim Leong Seng, outside the Greenwich V shopping mall at the southeast corner of Yio Chu Kang Road and Seletar Road, Singapore. The vintage pilot in his flying leathers references Seletar Airport (XSP), which lies some 3 km to the north. Built in 1928 for the British Royal Air Force, today it is a civil general aviation airport. Rubber plantations once graced the area, providing ample opportunity for children to chase butterflies. The work evokes memories of those times.

Lady Elizabeth Asquith, daughter of the 1st Earl of Oxford, British PM married Prince Antoine Bibescu, diplomat at the Romanian Legation in London and settled at the family seat of Mogosoaia near Bucharest.
She figures in an Anthology, (now available as an E-Book) entitled:
"Blouse Roumaine - the Unsung Voices of Romanian Women"
www(dot)blouseroumaine(dot)com/orderthebook_p1(dot)html
Elizabeth Asquith (1897 - 1948) was the daughter of Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. In 1919 she married Prince Antoine Bibesco a flamboyant Romanian diplomat in London and the wedding ceremony took place at the Greek Orthodox church of Sait Sophia in London and at St Margaret's Westminster.
On seeing the inevitable happen that his daughter Elizabeth would marry into a Romanian family, the British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford, (1852-1928) inquired cautiously of his future son-in-law:
“It seems that you have considerable estates in Romania?”
to which the young diplomat, Prince Antoine Bibesco (1878-1952) answered:
“It takes the Orient Express one day to go through me”.
www(dot)blouseroumaine(dot)com
Antoine was a friend of Marcel Proust whom he asked to be his daughter's Godfather: this was Priscilla Bibesco who died in Paris in 2004 in an apartment in l'Ile St Louis, overlooking Notre Dame. This was originally Antoine and Elizabeth's flat in Paris, where they moved after they married: it was decorated with immense canvasses by Vuillard.
Priscilla Bibesco. Elizabeth's daughter was a neighbour and cousin of Princess Marthe Bibesco, who kept a coveted literary salon.
Elizabeth Asquith Bibesco was known as a witty writer of short stories, essays novels plays and poetry. A collection of her papers are kept in the Bodleyan library, Oxford.
Elizabeth had a brief liaison with Katherine Mansfield's husband - John Middleton Murry (1889-1957) at which point Mansfield wrote Asquith a waspish letter:
“I am afraid you must stop writing these little love letters to my husband while he and I live together. It is one of those things which is not done in our world.
You are very young. Won’t you ask your husband to explain to you the impossibility of such a situation.
Please don’t you have to make me write to you again. I do not like scolding people and I simply hate to teach them manners.” (Frank and Anita Kermode op.cit. 496).
At that time Murry (1889-1957) was 33, a socialist and pacifist, an influential literary critic, an Editor of the Athaeneum and friend of notable literary figures such as T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf. Katherine Mansfield was an established writer, gaining praise for her recently published volume, ironically entitled 'Bliss' (1920), whilst Elizabeth Asquith Bibesco was an aspiring writer. Miss Mansfield did not object to her socialist husband’s affair with an aristocrat, rather to the irritation of seeing these love letters whilst she and Murry still lived under the same roof.

On the corner of Fifth Avenue and 60th Street -- i.e., at the opposite end of the block where the iPhone fans were waiting in line -- this young couple staked out a spot with a sign that said "Feed us." I gave them some money; I hope they did use it to buy some food ...
But after a while, some nearby cops decided that it wasn't really appropriate for the couple to be panhandling in quite such a dramatic fashion. So they very politely asked them to gather up their stuff and move on ... which they couple did, without much objection...
Roughly three weeks after I originally uploaded this photo, it had been viewed so many times that it is now among the top-ten "most viewed" of all 10,000+ public photos on my Flickr site -- and three people have marked it as a "favorite". I'm flattered by the attention, but also humbled: I have no idea what it is that makes the photo so popular. The couple shown here had nothing to do with the main focus of this collection of photos -- i.e., people waiting in line to get a new Apple iPhone3G -- and probably had no interest at all in the phone. I now wish I had spoken to them, to find out who they were, where they came from, what they were planning to do when they left (as they did shortly after this picture was taken, because the cops shooed them away). And now, three weeks later, I have no idea where they have gone, or what they are doing ... or whether anyone actually did feed them.
********************
Silly me: after the iPhone 3g had been out for a full week, I thought I could stroll right into the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue & 59th Street in mid-town Manhattan, and simply buy one without any muss, fuss, bother, or delay.
But when I arrived at 11 AM, I found a line of approximately 150 people waiting outside in the broiling sun, not seeming to move forward at all; it turned out that the Apple store "concierge" folks were letting them in in groups of ten, when the previous ten had been taken care of. When I asked the woman how long she had been waiting, she said, "Four hours" -- she had arrived at 7 AM, having already determined that the AT&T stores were sold out throughout New Jersey and Connecticut.
Well, I'm a gadget freak and a Mac fan, but there's a limit to my passion for such things; four hours was just too much. So instead, I decided to take a bunch of pictures of the people who were in the line. Of course, I have no idea whethere the people queued up in front of Apple stores in other cities (or at other stores here in NYC) are similar to this group ... but I'm inclined to think that they are. And if that's true, then the demographics of this group -- in terms of age, gender, nationality, ethnic groups, etc. -- is particularly intriguing. I saw only one guy dressed in a corporate uniform of suit and tie; Apple may be trying to break into the "enterprise" market, but that's not who was standing in line for all those hours in the sun...

the title of this photo was inspired by lyrics to the chapter in your life entitled san francisco by the lucksmiths
You must detach your life from an awareness of the multiple and reduce it to a geometrical point before God. You have but one life, and it is not just anything; this life is everything for you, and it owes its greatness to its divine origin and goal. The human condition is something great because its foundation is God; the modern error is to believe we are small, that we are biological accidents, that we are entitled to be lukewarm—that we are free to be small, apathetic, mediocre. In reality we are condemned to greatness, if I may express it this way, and we find this greatness in spiritual smallness before the divine Greatness. It is God who is great, but we must open ourselves up to this Greatness, knowing that there is only He, that we are bound to Him, that we cannot escape Him; knowing this we must resign ourselves to our human and personal condition—to the fact that the sacred is everywhere—and we must repose in trust.

Campbell (Cam) Devine was my Uncle Bill Watson’s best friend during early school years in Grand Valley, Ontario. Cam was killed on August 12, 1944, when the Flying Boat he was piloting crashed in Ireland. I am including a notice of his death from the Grand Valley Star and Vidette, and a detailed account of the crash as remembered by Chuck Singer, one of Cam’s flight crew.

Another Grand Valley Boy Passes Overseas
News of the death of another Grand Valley boy overseas was received in town the latter part of last week. He was Flight Lieut Campbell Devine, elder son of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Devine of Orillia formerly of Grand Valley. Campbell was born in Grand Valley and moved with his parents to Orillia some years ago. His death occurred in Ireland on Aug.12 and interment took place in Ireland. He was a chum and pal of the late P.O. Bill Watson of Grand Valley. Brief references to his death were made in the pulpits of Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning and at the memorial service for the late P.O. Watson in Trinity United Church on Sunday afternoon. Besides his parents and one brother, Donald, the deceased leaves a widow and one child, all of Orillia. To the bereaved parents, brother, widow and child the sympathy of this community is extended
Full particulars regarding his death had not been received at the time of going to press.

August 12, 1944 saw the crash of Sunderland T of 422, in Donegal County, Ireland, just north of Belleek, Northern Ireland, shortly after take-off for an Atlantic patrol. The heavily loaded aircraft had suffered an engine fire and loss of propeller and a crash landing was attempted on a relatively flat area. The skipper, F/L Cam Devine and two crew members died in the crash. The remainder of the crew received serious injuries and were initially treated in the Irish hospital in Ballyshannon, Donegal County, and later moved to the military hospital in Necarne Castle near Irvinestown, Northern Ireland or to hospitals in England.

A tear ran down the cheek of Chuck Singer as he stood on the windswept bogland of Cashelard, receiving long overdue recognition for an act of great courage undertaken 58 years ago to the day.
It was a marvellous moment, a fitting closure to a remarkable tale, owing much not only to Chuck, whose selfless actions as a 19 year old First Gunner on a stricken Sunderland flying boat in 1944 saved the life of a comrade, but also to his son Bob (who correctly pointed out that reports of his father's death in the Squadron records were greatly exaggerated), and local historians Joe O'Loughlin and Breege McCusker.
A large crowd gathered on Monday at the exact hour at the site where Sunderland NJ175 crashed shortly after taking off from its base at Castle Archdale. They gathered to pay tribute to Sergeant Chuck Singer, but also to the three airmen who did not survive the crash, and whose names are recorded on a memorial stone erected at the site two years ago. With a beautiful ceremony choreographed brilliantly by Joe and Breege, interspersed with presentations to Chuck, the crowd listened to a recounting of the Canadian's remarkable story.
422 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Force arrived in Fermanagh in the spring of 1944, youthful, joyful crews of men who had thus far generally enjoyed their war experiences, stationed with Coastal Command in Scotland, protecting Merchant Navy convoys from the threat of German U Boats.
They were to do the same job from their base on Lough Erne, patrolling out into the Atlantic and also into the Bay Of Biscay and the English Channel. Their role was an important one- the U Boats were the only cog of the German war machine which really frightened Churchill, and any break in the Allies supply line would have had a debilitating effect on the war effort.
But to the airmen based in quiet County Fermanagh, on the usually serene Lower Lough Erne, the war must often have seemed a world away. Chuck remembers that conditions on the base were "beautiful, just fine", and that even when they were airborne, patrolling at an average altitude of 400 feet, there was never any real feeling of unease or fear.
"We felt like nothing was ever going to happen to us out there. To fly was just a treat to get up and if they ever postponed a flight on us we got sick, you know, just sick. I don't know any aircrew that ever worried- it was all jovial, funny guys that had a good time, I don't know anybody that ever worried about dying. Flying out to sea in those things was so peaceful. You almost forgot that you had a job to do it was so beautiful and peaceful."
During his short spell in Fermanagh, Chuck fortunately never had to fire his guns in anger from his position in the turret at the top of the giant seaplane, but remembers one occasion when his crew felt they were about to have their first serious engagement with the enemy.
"We thought we had a pair of them one time," he said. "It looked like a mother ship refuelling a smaller sub, so we dived at that thing, we had all the depth charges out on the wings, we were ready for everything... and they were two of the most beautiful Blue Whales you ever saw in your life."
Chuck left his turret and aimed a camera instead of his machine gun. He took a couple of photographs and left them in to get developed back at the base, but due to his unfortunate exit from Castle Archdale he was never able to pick them up again. "We went out feet first and I never did get them. I'd loved to have had those pictures," he said wistfully.
The biggest threat to their safety that Chuck encountered during the patrols actually came from the Merchant Navy which the Sunderlands and Catalinas were sent to protect. Engagements with enemy aircraft and U Boats were rare by 1944, but the Merchant convoys were jumpy, and fairly 'trigger happy' recalled Chuck.
"The worst part was flying alongside a convoy, because those merchant people- they were shooting at everything, and they didn't know us from the enemy. When we used to approach a convoy the skipper used to give them every view they could of the markings or else the Merchant Navy would shoot you down."
They would also shoot coloured flares by way of identifying themselves, but the colours were changed frequently, and sending up the wrong colour could prove fatal. Call signs were also used for identification and changed frequently, but there is one call sign which is indelibly printed on Chuck's memory. 'Eyeglass Eagle'. This was the last call sign of Sunderland NJ175, as it took off around 11:15 on Saturday morning, August 12, 1944. NJ175 was like any other Sunderland docked at the Flying Boat base, and was supposed to have been checked by the engineers before take off. Every one of the 12 man crew had checks to make after being rowed out to the boat on a dinghy.
"When it was our turn to fly they'd put us in a dinghy from the dock and run us to one of the boats, and we'd get on it and check everything out, and if something wasn't right we'd radio the dinghy and it would come back and get us and take us to another one. Often there'd be two or three before we'd get one that was operational."
Everything happened in such a hurry that it was fairly common to experience mechanical problems, said Chuck, and often the crews would be delayed at least an hour by repairs.
On the flight on August 12 was his regular crew, all of whom had got to know each other like brothers, having flown and socialised together in Fermanagh for months, as well as a few trainees, learning the ropes, and sitting, fatally as it turned out, near the cockpit behind the skipper, Flight Lieutenant Cam Devine.
They were heading for the English Channel, hoping to catch the German subs heading for Norway from their base at Brest on the French coast. The men- all members of the RCAF, were expecting to be away for between 10 and 12 hours, burning an enormous 2000 gallons of fuel. As it happened, they were only airborne for a fraction of that time- about 30 minutes- and had to dump as much of the fuel as possible over the surrounding area.
"The engine sounded uneasy all the time after we took off. It just didn't sound like it was hitting all cylinders, it sounded funny. But sometimes that clears up, but this time it didn't," said Chuck. The noises got worse as the plane reached the West Coast of Ireland and a problem in the outer starboard engine had developed into a fire. The crew sent out a mayday call and turned around to return to base. Orders came in from Castle Archdale to jettison the fuel and the depth charges on board, which would have exploded on impacting with the ground.
Local people in the fields around Belleek were used to seeing the huge Flying Boats sailing out to war over their heads along the secretly negotiated Donegal Corridor, but to see one with thick black smoke billowing out from its starboard engine was an unusual and alarming experience. Although Cashelard is a remote area, there were a number of people in the vicinity, taking advantage of the great weather to work in the fields or enjoy the first day of the Grouse shooting season. Their peace was about to be shattered.
On board the plane, dumping the 2000 gallons of fuel was proving too dangerous, as the high octane fuel was pouring out perilously close to the burning engine, risking an explosion which would blow the plane to smithereens. Flying Officer Alex Platsko, the Second Pilot, whose job it was to jettison the fuel and depth charges in preparation for a less than routine landing, now had to shut off the fuel dump valve again.
And there was another problem- the track for the depth charges was sticking, and the crew couldn't get them out of the plane. Eventually, after a desperate struggle, the crew worked the charges free, and they dropped harmlessly to the ground, to be blown up next day by the Irish Army and officials from Castle Archdale.
Platsko returned to the task of shutting off the fuel dump valve, but was shuddered out of his work by a loud bang as the burning engine suddenly froze up and the propeller twisted off its shaft and spun into the starboard float, causing the plane to bank suddenly, steeply to the right. Chuck remembers the sharp snap of the propeller breaking off, not long before impact.
Skipper Cam Devine, just 22 years of age, had a fight on his hands. With one engine on fire and out of action, and a half a tonne propeller embedded in the side of one of his floats, the plane was losing height at a frightening rate and in danger of hitting the ground sideways first. "We could've cartwheeled - if the wing had touched first we would all have been dead," said Chuck.
The crew members were adopting the crash position, something similar to what is advised on commercial airliners today, but without the fancy demonstration cards. Cam Devine was fighting for his life, and the lives of his comrades, fighting to get the heavy plane back on an even keel to give them a chance in the crash landing which was now inevitable. Somehow, against the odds, he achieved this, righting the plane just before impact on the Cashelard ground, succeeding in saving the lives of nine of his crew members, but losing his own life in the process.
Chuck remembers certain aspects of the impact, but he was concussed, and blood was streaming down his face. Three of the crew- Cam Devine, Pilot Officer R.T Wilkinson and Flight Sergeant Jack Forrest- died instantly. Alex Platsko, who hadn't time to buckle himself back into his seat after jettisoning the depth charges, was thrown through the windscreen, and survived, although he was seriously injured.
The plane hit the lip of a country track, coming down perpendicular to the road rather than along it, which caused the bottom half of the plane to be severed in the sudden halt. "When the bottom half of the plane was torn out I was up in the ceiling getting my arms broke and my face cut, and concussion, and I was looking down and I could see George Colbourne laying face-up on the bottom of the boat," recalled Chuck. "We went over the top of him, but it looked like we were still and he was sliding on a toboggan underneath us- that was the effect we got. That was the last thing I remembered until I gained consciousness again and tried to get out of that thing."
The next thing he remembers is the heather all around the crash site being on fire. The Sunderland had broken in two places- at the tail, and between the under section and the rest of the plane. The tail breaking off was a blessing in disguise, affording an escape hatch for Chuck and some of the other crew members.
Dazed, bleeding, and with his left arm hanging limply by his side, Chuck somehow got out of the mangled remains of the plane. As aviation fuel leaked out of the plane the fire spread, and bullets and ammunition were exploding in the heat. Chuck staggered clear of the heat, but heard George Colbourne crying for help. George was trapped under the wreckage of the tail, powerless, with two broken legs. Chuck turned back into the flames.
"I can remember going back when I heard him crying and screaming. I heard him before this, and I thought 'God, I'm not going to get him', and then he screamed one more time and I thought: 'I've got to get him', so I went back after him. I pulled my arm out hauling him out- I tore a ligament in my shoulder. I couldn't use my left arm- it was broken. So by the time I got him maybe 50 to 100 feet away, I don't know how far it was- until I couldn't feel the heat anymore- I passed out, and so did he."
The fire totally engulfed the plane, but somehow all of the survivors had got clear of the wreckage. Joe O'Loughlin reached the plane on his bicycle about half an hour after the crash, along with other locals and helpers, including the supposedly neutral Irish Army from Finner Camp, rescue services from Castle Archdale, and medical staff from Ballyshannon's Shiel Hospital. All of the injured, with wounds ranging from a broken back to severe burns, were taken to the hospital, where they remained for 48 hours before being transferred to St Angelo Airport and over to hospital in England.
At this point, according to the records of 422 Squadron, Sergeant Charles (Chuck) Singer died. This was quite an alarming discovery for Bob Singer in January this year, who thought that his father had recovered from his injuries, received a medical discharge and flown back to Canada, where he later married, had five children and moved to Florida, keeping in contact with George Colbourne, who rang him every year on August 12 to thank him for saving his life on a lonely Irish bog, a lifetime ago. Bob had decided to do a little research into his father's Airforce career, and had stumbled upon the Squadron records. He knew very little of the crash, and nothing of his modest father's heroic rescue of Colbourne. He sent a reply to the website, stating that as his father had been helping him in the yard that morning, and notwithstanding a Lazurus-like reincarnation, he had not died in England on August 14, 1944, as the Squadron notes reported. Chuck had missed out on over 50 years of squadron reunions thanks to an erroneous report in the records. He had no idea that there was such interest in those based at Castle Archdale: "I didn't have a clue- I thought that we were all forgotten. Joe here, he got after me right away- I got a letter within a week from him."
He also got in touch with the courageous Alex Platsko, now Dr Alex Platsko, who lives in the prestigious Pebble Beach resort in California. The two old comrades talked together for the first time in 58 years a few months ago, while Chuck ordered his Squadron badge, an honour he had neglected for over half a century.
This has been a year of amazing discovery for both Chuck and Bob, who accompanied his father on his emotional return to Fermanagh and to Cashelard. Under the gentle guidance of Joe, they have revisited so many areas of huge significance for Chuck- the well kept war graves in Irvinestown where his three comrades are buried; Castle Archdale with Breege McCusker; the Shiel Hospital in Ballyshannon where Chuck asked the staff if he owed them anything and joked that he had "an outstanding bill from '44"; and finally, most emotionally of all, the site at Cashelard where Sunderland NJ175 crashed 58 years ago to the day.
Full of praise for the people of Fermanagh- "a wonderful race", Chuck returns this week to Florida, laden with gifts such as a mounted piece of the wreckage of his plane, a framed citation commemorating his bravery, a copy of the memorial plaque erected to the memory of his fallen comrades, and a replica model of the planes in which he soared above the seas, risking his tomorrow for our today.
Having been reaquainted with his squadron and returned to the site of his wartime experiences he admits to being overwhelmed with his time in Fermanagh. As far as Castle Archdale, Cashelard and more particularly, Flying Boats go, he has just one disappointment, and he is not the only one: "It's a shame there isn't one for you guys to look at, you know? They're all on the bottom of the lake. Isn't that crazy?"

Bored and somewhat distracted, I decided to explore my garden to determine if there were things to photograph there, and was entranced by this solitary strand of ornamental grass. I decided to create a minimalist image of it.
Should you be interested, I've created a Flickr Album of creative photographs of common household objects or sights that I've entitled "At Home Creatives." I invite you to visit, and I hope you enjoy.
Mural entitled "Su Vida Es Nuestra Vida" by Octavio Alegria and Esther del Prado collectively known as Alegria del Prado aka @alegriadelprado, for the Sea Walls project of the Pangea Seed Foundation, seen at 50 Avenida Sur 959, Independencia, 77664 San Miguel de Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The artists state: "Our mural is an allegory of the importance of the ocean; that make possible, life on Earth. The dwarf coati, a species endemic to the island of Cozumel is in danger of extinction; they are displaced from their habitat due to human presence. It is placed at the center of our mural, made up of plants, symbolizing nature at threat. The coati is surrounded by marine animals as a representation of the sea, in an interdependent, infinite embrace. One does not survive without the other; the ocean’s health is the earth’s health. As symbols of danger, there are small details not visible to every eye, just like the lack of awareness; hybrid cruiseship-mosquitoes pestering the coati and a skull-shaped earth mover deforesting the island."

This piece, entitled "Log Cabin on the Tenth" is finished, along with a couple of other pieces..and the hard work of the morning was preparing entries for a couple of submissions to a juried show that I like to participate in. The process is both easier, and more difficult than in the past...no more slide film to buy and have processed...but the computer MUST be made to do a lot of things in an extremely specific way...by someone who is not a master.

Mural entitled "Mother" by Sef aka @sef.01, seen at 414 North Carpenter Street in the West Town area of Chicago, Illinois.
The artist states: "Today my wall talks about the most selfless love in the world, the love of a mother. That is why I chose this wall, because just as the bridge protects against rain or any inclement weather, so is the love of a mother for her children, an infinite love whose desire is always to protect and love their children above all things. Happy Mother's Day to all those women who every day lavish the most sincere and beautiful love that exists. I dedicate this mural to them."
