I made this photo of a Chris Evert rose cultured by Tom Carruth in 1996 while Melody and I were visiting the Luther Burbank Gardens with friends in August 2016. A pleasant day in a pleasant setting.
Luther Burbank was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus and the plumcot. - Wikipedia.

Fairbanks Airport, Alaska, 23rd May 2022.
Only in Alaska, where else in the world is it possible to see two active C46s?
KLGB 10/02/24 Built 1976 Ex N442BN of Braniff International, N567PE with PEOPLExpress, Continental Airlines, Pan American World Airways, Delta Airlines, N794AJ with Amerijet International and Everts Air Cargo.
I was lucky enough to see one more DC-6 movement before I left Fairbanks, from the windows of the passenger terminal while waiting for my flight out.

This DC-6 was originally built for Northwest Airlines, delivered in March 1958 as N351. It then passed to Kar-Air (OH-KDB,) followed by Delta Air Transport (OO-EVG and OO-VGE.) With Canada's Conair as C-GHLY by 1973, it was converted to a water bomber. When Conair retired their DC-6 firefighting tanker fleet, Everts bought them for parts, but C-GHLY was in good enough shape and had enough hours left to refurbish and put back into service. It retains parts of its Conair tanker paint scheme.
Having been stripped of usable parts, this DC-6 awaits an eventual appointment with the scrappers at Fairbanks. It started life with Flying Tigers in 1953 as N34957 and later served with such carriers as Northwest, Saturn and Zantop before finishing up with Conifair in the early 1990s as C-GBYB.
Reported scrapped summer 2025.

Looking from under the wing at two Pratt and Whitney R-2800 radial engines. First run in 1937, I suspect the R-2800 is a big part of why Everts is still able to run these antique airliners in revenue service. It has a reputation as being the most reliable of the big radials; the DC-6's R-3350 and R-4360 powered contemporaries, the, 377, DC-7, and Lockheed Constellation, are almost totally extinct.

I had the pleasure to meet today the delightful Marijke Everts.
We met at the Art Fair Suomi '15
www.hippolyte.fi/art-fair-suomi-2015-platform-application...
After a most lovely and interesting conversation, I made a few portraits of this beautiful young woman.
Marijke was born in Ghana to a Ghanaian mother and a Dutch father. The family moved to Dakar, Senegal when she was about 3 years old. At the age of twelve they then moved to Rome, Italy and finally, at the age of ninteen Marijke moved to the Netherlands to study Art.
"My parents always spoke English to me and my two brothers, since they both came from two different countries English was the easiest language for us all to communicate in. We did also attend a few dutch classes in Senegal, but we mostly spoke in English and French which we learnt throughout the international schools we attended.
Art had always been a big part of Marijke's life, but it was in High School in Rome that it became something she seriously thought about.
"We had such an amazing art teacher who inspired us all and taught us to be so free within our works. And So I went on to do a Bachelors at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
Marijke enjoys reading a lot. "I miss spending a whole day just reading a book."
She has a Ukulele and when she finds some time to herself, she likes playing a few songs on it. "I am quite shy so I mostly play and sing to myself."
Marijke enjoys sharing time with friends and family." Even the little things done together is always nice, she says."
"Traveling and discovering places, cultures, foods, music, different ways of thinking, opening up to new ways of looking at the same thing."
Any message to the world, Marijke?
"I hope someday we will stop creating borders and boundaries, stop thinking just about our own countries and start thinking more about this planet we all share. We are in this together!"
Can you tell me a bit about your struggles?
"It is strange talking about your struggles, but I guess that only a year ago I graduated from the Art Academy in The Hague, and with that came trying to find a job to support myself, whilst still making art and having exhibitions. This meant, at some point, I had to move back in with my family for a bit, or stay with some friends, whilst working part time somewhere, as I didn't have enough to have my own place again.
"I still have a lot to figure out and sort out in my life, but I am so grateful that no matter what my situation has been, I have always managed exhibit my home installations. In fact, the struggles themselves have made the works even more meaningful than before."
Check out more about Marijke's art here:
"I grew to accept that home is not a specific place for me. nor do i really want it to be a place. it’s more of an accumulation of memories and people. where you’ve been and the people you met along the way, where you are now. basically your own history. you are your home, taking in every place and person of meaning, moving about and adding more to the already full pot, to the point where you feel it could overflow. leak it’s way out of you, and maybe infect people with questions of what home really means. to think of a specific place as home. it wouldn’t make sense to me. they were all temporary, and bringing them all together, mixing them up in my head, then i get this feeling that my idea of home, it’s a space shared where all the different places come together."
