en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster_(genus)
Aster (syn. Diplopappus Cass.) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus once contained nearly 600 species in Eurasia and North America, but after morphologic and molecular research on the genus during the 1990s, it was decided that the North American species are better treated in a series of other genera. After this split there are roughly 180 species within the genus, all but one being confined to Eurasia.[1] The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word astron, meaning "star", arriving through the Latin word astrum with the same meaning, referring to the shape of the flower head. Many species and a variety of hybrids and varieties are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers. Aster species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera that feed on Aster. Asters can grow in all hardiness zones.
The genus Aster is now generally restricted to the Old World species, with Aster amellus being the type species of the genus, as well as of the family Asteraceae. The New World species have now been reclassified in the genera Almutaster, Canadanthus, Doellingeria, Eucephalus, Eurybia, Ionactis, Oligoneuron, Oreostemma, Sericocarpus and Symphyotrichum, though all are treated within the tribe Astereae. Regardless of the taxonomic change, all are still widely referred to as "asters" in the horticultural trades. See the List of Aster synonyms for more information.
In the UK there are only two native members of the genus of which one, Goldilocks is very rare, the other being Aster tripolium, the Sea aster. Aster alpinus spp. vierhapperi is the only species native to North America.[1]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phlox (pronounced /flɒks/ or "flocks"; from the Latin for a flame-colored flower, which is from the Greek φλόξ, meaning 'flame'; plural "phlox" or "phloxes") is a genus of 67 species of annual or perennial flowering plants. Some species flower in early spring while others flower in summer into fall. Most species are native to temperate North America but a few species are also from northeastern Asia. They are found growing in diverse habitats from alpine locations to open woodlands and prairies.
Phlox flowers range in color from pale blue to bright red to white. Some species such as Phlox glaberrima (Smooth Phlox) grow to 1.5 m tall, while others, such as Phlox stolonifera (Creeping Phlox), form low mats only a few centimetres in height.
The foliage of Phlox is sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Dot Moth, Gazoryctra wielgusi, Hummingbird Hawk-moth and Schinia indiana (which feeds exclusively on P. pilosa). Phlox species are also a popular food source for groundhogs, rabbits and deer. The flowers, when fertilized, typically produce one relatively large seed.
Several species of phlox are commonly cultivated in gardens. Most cultivated phlox, with the notable exception of Drummond phlox, are perennial. Phlox cultivars are available in shades of white, purple, blue, pink, and yellow. Most are best grown in well-drained soil, exposed to partial shade to partial sun. Phlox are valued in the garden for their ability to attract butterflies.
Entitled "America's Heartland Remembers" this memorial was designed/organized by Kirkwood resident Rick Randall. It totals 2996 American flags to honor each victim of the September 11 attacks.
On the Saturday, I was entitled to a day of rest.. and by rest I mean I had time to run errands for other people.
I did take the time to do a few things I wanted to do last time... tried to hit up a garage sale (failed miserably).
Was in North Vancouver already, so figured why the hell not visit Thomas Haas, but actually have the luxury of being able to eat in peace and quiet.
So, so worth it. Everything was as rich and decadent as I remember it.. or at least the nibbles of it that I had as I wasn't exactly in the drivers seat last time.
Go Fish was another place I hit up again. With family visiting in September, I did the responsible thing and made sure that all the restaurants were still in good condition before suggesting they visit.
The fries weren't as good as I remember them, but the actual fish itself was in good form, with a thin batter shell and moist meat.
Now.. I have to try explaining to people with no car and no GPS how to find the place.
The sculpture shown above is entitled "Theology Directing the Labours of Science and Art". It stands in the entrance hallway of the library. The original plan for that area of the building by its architect, Sir Basil Champneys, was to include three niches to accommodate sculptures. Enriqueta Rylands approached John Cassidy, who was responsible for the statue of her husband, to prepare a design to occupy this important position. Cassidy received the commission and agreed to, "complete a group of three figures in red shawk stone for £300, adapting all sketches and models to Mrs Ryland's 'entire approval'." "Theology Directing the Labours of Science and Art" was installed in February 1898. The finishing touches were completed in July of that year. The web site of the Public Monument and Sculpture Association's National Recording Project describes this sculpture as: "Three figures; theology is represented by a standing female figure holding in her left hand a volume of Holy Writ, and with her right hand she directs Science, who is depicted as an old man studying a globe. Art is shown as a youthful metal worker who is making a chalice, and is depicted in the act of listening to Theology."
St Pancras New Church (so entitled to differentiate it from an older building that remains several blocks away to the north east) was built in 1819-22 to the designs of William & Henry Inwood and is a remarkable example of the then prevalent taste for Neo-Classical architecture. Few churches can claim to be as Grecian in style as this one, which boasts the unique features of two porticoes flanking the east end copied directly from the famous caryatid porch of the Erectheum on the Athenian Acropolis, complete with column figures in terracotta (molded in sections around cast-iron columns). The spindly octagonal tower is a major landmark to visitors arriving at nearby Euston Station just over the main road (as it has welcomed me on many visits to the capital).
The interior of the church continues the theme of Classical severity, with a broad flat coffered ceiling spanning the nave with the apse beyond adding a touch of enrichment. The Victorian glass in the windows does make the space a little gloomier than it could be. The galleries remain and create side aisles beneath them but otherwise the interior retains the impression of a large unified space.
I am unsure what normal opening times are for this church but I believe it is usually open in office hours during the day.

Statue entitled "The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist" by Michael Rakowitz
Lamassu was a god in the form of a winged bull who guarded the gates of the Assyrian city of Nineveh (modern-day Iraq). The original statue dating from 700BC was destroyed by Islamic State. This recreation is made from 10,500 tins of Iraqi date syrup.
Entitled 'Salvation' this 1958 window by Ervin Bossanyi, in Canterbury cathedral, replaced an earlier window by Clayton and Bell, which was destroyed during WWII. Born in Hungary, interned during WWI, then forced to flee Germany in 1934, war and peace were clearly dominant themes for the artist.
This window shows an angel helping a human figure upwards towards light and the universal family.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicentra
Dicentra spectabilis also known as Venus's car, bleeding heart, Dutchman's trousers, or lyre flower, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. This species of bleeding heart can grow to 24"-36" tall and has ternately compound leaves (leaflets that come in threes). The flowers are pendulous, shaped much like hearts, produced in a raceme bearing 3-15 individual flowers, each one 1-2" long, with pink outer petals and white inner petals. The flowering season is from early spring to mid summer. The common name of this plant, bleeding heart, comes from the heart-shaped flowers which have a longer inner petal that extends below the 'heart'.
It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower. It can be a full sun plant if in a cool area but in a warm climate, prefers semi-shaded areas. It needs to be kept moist and prefers neutral to alkaline soil with good drainage although these plants can tolerate heavy clay soil as well.
It is prone to aphids, slugs and snails, which cause damage to its leaves. Propagation is by sowing the seeds when fresh. It can also be divided, preferably in the late fall or early spring. However, contact with the plant can cause skin irritation because the entire plant is toxic, so should be handled with gloves and long sleeves.
Several cultivars have been selected, including 'Alba', with pure white flowers, and 'Goldheart', a relatively new cultivar developed at Hadspen Garden in England and introduced in 1997 with fuchsia-coloured flowers that drop from the stem in a row, and yellow foliage that turns lime green by mid summer.
An exhibition entitled “PolandIn.” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from September 24 to October 2, 2018.
It showcased the most important, most modern, and – in many cases – also iconic achievements of Polish technical know-how and design. WIPO co-organized the event with the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.

For three decades, this sculpture stood in the plaza of the World Trade Center. Entitled "The Sphere", it was conceived by artist Fritz Koenig as a symbol of world peace. It was damaged during the tragic events of September 11, 2001, but endures as an icon of hope and the indestructible spirit of this country. The Sphere was placed here on March 11, 2002 as a temporary memorial to all who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.

This photographic portfolio entitled "THE MAASAI" is the result of a period of one month lived with them from Kenya to Tanzania. Earth, fire, sun, blood: red is the color of the Maasai. Red is the earth, “Osinyai”, of the rough path that, a two hour drive from Nairobi, plunges into the Kenyan highlands crossed by arid rivers, in this ignored corner of the bush. A dozen low and narrow huts made of branches covered with a mixture of earth and dung, which the women build and rebuild that do everything, housing, food and milking the cattle. Tattered children dressed in variegated fabrics, old cloths draped in colorful fabrics, sparkling pearl necklaces and bracelets.
In the land of the Maasai, nothing is the same as before: the extension of the outskirts of the capital, first of all, has made these nomads withdraw, fleeing from civilization and refusing to mix with other ethnic groups. They bought their land which these shepherds, indifferent to land ownership and reluctant to agriculture, abandoned. The state created huge animal reserves, which further expropriated them of their territories. Gradually they withdrew to Tanzania, where today they emigrate in large numbers, there were also those years of terrible drought, which saw their herds wither.
Wonderful exhibition entitled "Más real que la realidad" of pictures by the US photographer W. Eugene Smith (1918-78)
It included photo essays for Life magazine such as "A Spanish Village" (1950), "Country Doctor" and "Nurse Midwife" (1950s) as well as series on Pittsburgh, Albert Schweitzer and the industrial pollution on the Japanese island of Minimata (1971-5) and its effects on the local population.
These were all powerful social and artistic documents. I hadn't been familiar with Smith's name or work before, and this exhibition was a real find!

Original painting entitled, "RORSCHACH'S LUNCH (FULL BLOWN) No.1" (2009) by award winning American artist/animator Dean A. Kendrick. The piece is a 30" x 24" x 1.5" acrylic on canvas painting.
Noted Freudian psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach developed a psychological personality test in 1921 wherein a subject is invited to view a set of paper cards that had been blotted with ink and then explain what he/she envisions these curious shapes to be, thus determining the subject's personal traits and emotional functionality by comparing responses to a set of predetermined guidelines. This series of art works resembles a little known failed test of 1919 similar to the ink blot test, co-developed simultaneously by Dr. Rorschach and one of his dopplegangers during their collective, parallel universe lunch hour.

I am attending Ella Clocksins monthly art workshops entitled `From Observation to Abstraction. This months topic is a continuation of negative spaces and positive forms. It's a way of working where you draw the spaces round an object rather than the object itself. I have photographed the groups work so the Saturday class can see what we did. This time we did Layering and Combining. We did a negative TONAL PATCH PAINTING in WATERCOLOUR. We then rotated the image and painted a different viewpoint. We repeated this several times to make an abstract composition.
This photograph is entitled "In-between Mediation." It shows a space of tension between two types of architectural media.
At one hundred or so meters north from the starting point of this excursion (Beijing's Baiziwan lu north of the Pingguo Shequ Beiqu building complex) one can find an in-between space contrasting established and streamlined media/messaging in the style of out-of-home (static/paper) signage on one side and free-style copy of graffiti on the other/superimposed by the signage (possibly minus any gang-related connotation).
This underpass (underneath the railroad) is hardly ever frequented. Once and a while a car might pass. The pedestrians possibly passing are most likely those living in a nearby small and impoverished nook of a few house-like constructs cramped between the railroad tracks and a train terminal. The road gives the impression it comes from nowhere (a dead-end into a little frequented building's area) and seemingly leading to newer constructs that are yet unoccupied. Due to the absence of an actual citizen-base/audience-base, the outdoor communication here seems to be, as well as not be (as the sound of a falling tree in a jungle where no one is available to hear the sound).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weigela is a small genus of about 12 species of deciduous shrubs in the family Caprifoliaceae, growing to 1-5 m tall. All are natives of eastern Asia.
The leaves are 5-15 cm long, ovate-oblong with an acuminate tip, and with a serrated margin. The flowers are 2-4 cm long, with a five-lobed white, pink, or red (rarely yellow) corolla, produced in small corymbs of several together in early summer. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous small winged seeds.
Weigela species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail.
The genus is named after the German scientist Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.
The British Weigela national collection is held at Sheffield Botanical Gardens; along with the national collection of the closely related Diervilla genus.[1] The german Weigela national collection is held at Sichtungsgarten Weigela in Buckow, Maerkische Schweiz [2]
Several of the species are very popular ornamental shrubs in gardens, although species have been mostly superseded by hybrids (crosses between W. florida and other Asiatic species).

Entitled ‘The Enemy’ and based upon the charcoal sketch originally exhibited at The Future Tense group launch show in 2010, the work was developed in collaboration with world-renowned print studio, Thumbprint Editions. Thumbprint is best known for creating etchings and woodcuts with such artists as Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor and Tracey Emin, including her most recent release ‘The Kiss’.
Measuring a generous 100 x 70 cm and limited to a signed edition of 50 + 3 artist proofs, the print uses a traditional Polymer Gravure etching process to fully capture the unique tonal variation typically found in charcoal works on paper. This complex, highly technical process produces prints of unrivalled quality, whilst also creating an attractive embossed frame within the paper due to the extreme pressures on the plate during the printing process.
The Enemy will be available from www.thefuturetense.net from midday GMT on Thursday June 16th.
The New Deal mural entitled "Spring" painted in 1941 by Caroline Rohland, was removed from the wall in the Sylvania post office in 1980 after the local NAACP chapter complained about it's content. It sat rolled up on top of a cabinet until 1995 when folks from Georgia Southern University discovered it and spear headed it's salvaging and restoration. The mural is now in storage at GSU awaiting space for display. Thanks to Dr. Brent Tharp for allowing me in to see the mural.

Entitled "Keeper of the Songs". If I remember correctly, it was carved from a soft wood, cedar I believe, then stained this dark brown.
Entitled, 'I don't know ; the weave of textile language', this installation in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in London, is by American artist Richard Tuttle. Harmonious colours but I'm afraid I don't know either ; I can see no meaning in it and it merely reminded me of a cloth-wrapped dinosaur with some sort of veiled disc harrow above its head. But it's nicely lit and cheerful.

This photographic portfolio entitled “ANCESTRAL LANDSCAPES” is the result of an incredible journey in Scotland through breathtaking natural landscapes. Scotland landscape is a permanent theater, a mysterious drama in which the initial plot seems to come from ancient feuds or the echo of legends. Contrasting like its climate, Scotland offers a range of light and shadow carried by the impetuousness of the elements. Weather reports are more like predicting the future than science. As frustrating as it may sound, it forces you to make your day unexpected. The turbulence of time exacerbates the green of the hills, the darkness of the mountains and the density of the ocean. The caledonian bad weather offers atmospheres that seem to come out of the most fantastic tales and legends. In this interplay of shades and contrasts, Scotland is a perpetual painting that offers aesthetes the violence of its brushstrokes. Consistently tackling the elements in Scotland grabs you literally and figuratively. The wind blows across the plains, the rain draws a curtain over the landscape and the proud mountains impress. Scotland is home to some of the most stunning landscapes I have ever seen. Shaped by landslides and tectonic movements that have completely sculpted their surroundings, these landscapes instantly immerse you in an almost supernatural fantasy world. One does not expect to discover such an exciting landscape. Vastness constantly echoes within us through our eyes.
Entitled "New Growth" and donated in honor of my grandmother.
