«En voyant cette fille magnifique, je me suis dit c'était vraiment horrible la beauté. Rajoutée à la jeunesse, c'est carrément injuste, presque indécent. J'observais son visage, ses sourcils, ses yeux, sa bouche. Elle avait un visage sublime. Je me suis dit: "Pourquoi elle?". Pourquoi est-elle aussi belle, et pourquoi les gens autour ne sont pas moches, disons qu'ils sont banals, invisibles.»

Tomorrow morning, I'll be driving a car that's faster than this Rapide, and yet is more practical. No; it isn't the Panamera because the car in question has a V12 under the hood.
I guess I've made it too obvious already...

Homecoming Day was filled with Ragin' Cajun spirit from dawn 'til dusk, as students and alumni came together to celebrate UL Lafayette on Nov. 1, 2014. The day began with the Ragin' Road Race and Open House at the Alumni Center, where alumni gathered for a 5k run followed by a breakfast of red beans and rice. Next up, student organizations, the Pride of Acadiana, and local marching bands brought their A-game to the Homecoming Parade.
The afternoon brought tailgating and the Ragin' Cajuns football team winning over the South Alabama Jaguars at Cajun Field, 19-9. Way to geaux, Cajuns!!
After plates filled with beans, fried okra, biscuits, and slaw, the fried catfish finally arrives in all its glory. The ear of corn was battered and fried. Outstanding!

This fun filled and tasty event at Anthony Lakes is the perfect way to explore the world class Nordic trail system on skis or snow shoes and taste your way around the trail system enjoying amazing local food, craft beer and locally distilled spirits.
This Baker County owned ski resort is arguably the best-kept powder secret in the in Oregon. The Rock Garden chair lift serves twenty-one runs that drop over 900 vertical feet with over 40% of the resorts runs rated expert black diamond . The dry climate in Eastern Oregon, coupled with the 9,000-foot peaks of the Elkhorn Range result in a powder so dry the Anthony Lakes crew has to occasionally water it down around the lifts. Nestled in the Elkhorn Mountains with the highest base elevation of any Oregon Ski Area and an average annual snowfall of 300 inches, Anthony Lakes is powder heaven. If you like to take in the scenic views at a slower pace, you can cross-country ski or snowshoe on more than 30 km of groomed trails through the Anthony Lakes Basin and Elkhorn Range of the Blue Mountains. Want a little something different? A Cat-ski operator and full guide service leads adventure seekers into the backcountry bowls and chutes for a one of a kind powder experience.
Anthony Lakes is also the only ski area in Oregon to offer skiers the opportunity to “own the Mountain” for a day. The entire ski area can be leased for individual groups of up to 50 people on Mondays January through March for private ski parties and retreats.

We leave for a self-organized expedition trek along pristine fjords, filled with giant icebergs, over rugged passes and across empty tundra valleys of the far north. A few weeks into the wilderness, away from any form of human civilization can not go on without a firm preparation, even though every day is as unpredictable as the night. You guessed it right: we would encounter no human trace for the coming weeks.

The global warming is affecting the Inuit big time. Not only do the glaciers of the Greenlandic ice sheet melt at a hurling speed, also the annually increasing melting pack ice of the Arctic, drifing away southwards, brings in more polar bears into the region. Where the region, during summer, used to be"polar bear free", the last years more and more polar bears are spotted in full summer along the fjords and around the Inuit villages. In Kulusuk, the village where we start our trek, we hear many stories of polar bear incidents in recent weeks.
The hunter who sales us into a remote fjord, "obliged" us to bring a gun. But we have never ever used a gun before? "No problem, it is very easy, you aim in the direction of the bear and just shoot at chest or head," he laughs .
We already have been in quite a few adventures so far, but what we experience in Greenland, surpasses all our dreams we ever had on this destination. Neck muscle defying granite walls cleave out of of the fjords and valley bottems as knives into the air, perpetual pink sunsets, huge glaciers that filled the fjords with icebergs the size of the football stadiums. And we have not talked about our new hobby: wading glacial rivers...

Many cars filled Depot Park. All proceeds went to SCAMP. Clarkston SCAMP is a nonprofit, five-week summer day camp in southeastern Michigan for children and young adults with special needs.
At last, all the new drains laid, old water pipes cut and capped off, trenches backfilled and tamped, plastic vapor barrier laid, new rebar and welded mesh fastened, and finally covered with 1000 pounds of concrete.

Filled with cargo and 150 people (including many librarians for the Library of Michigan's Loleta Fyan Small and Rural Library Conference at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island). We took the barge Sacre Bleu and the staff at Shepler's did a great job given the ice and the conditions. With Coast Guard approval, they even created more seats on the Sacre Bleu. I rode on the deck and it was a blast!
Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature
February 24 – May 21, 2023
Italian-born American modernist Joseph Stella (1877–1946) is primarily recognized for his dynamic Futurist-inspired paintings of New York, especially the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island. Lesser known, but equally as ambitious, is his work dedicated to the natural world, a theme that served as a lifelong inspiration. Throughout his career, Stella produced an extraordinary number of works—in many formats and in diverse media—that take nature as their subject. These lush and colorful works are filled with flowers, trees, birds, and fish—some of which he encountered on his travels across continents or during his visits to botanical gardens, while others are abstracted and fantastical. Through these pictures, he created a rich and variegated portrait of nature, a sanctuary for a painter in a modern world.
Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature is co-organized by the High and the Brandywine River Museum of Art and is the first major museum exhibition to exclusively examine Stella’s nature-based works. The exhibition features more than one hundred paintings and works on paper that reveal the complexity and spirituality that drove Stella’s nature-based works and the breadth of his artistic vision. Through expanded in-gallery didactics, including a graphic timeline of Stella’s career and a short film, the exhibition digs deeply into the context of the works, exploring their inspirations, meanings, and stylistic influences.

If you know the painter Joseph Stella, it’s probably from his famous urban landscapes like Brooklyn Bridge (1921), a futurist interpretation of New York’s dramatic 20th-century industrialization. But Stella was just as captivated by the botanical world as he was by cityscapes, and today, Atlantans can see that side of the artist in vivid color. Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature, an explosive new exhibit at the High Museum of Art, features dozens of his flower and plant-filled paintings and drawings. In Atlanta through May 21, the exhibit travels chronologically through Stella’s lifelong love-affair with the natural world, from an early study of a piece of bark to the epic, intricate Tree of My Life.
Visionary Nature was a joint effort between the High; the Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, Florida; and the Brandywine Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where it heads next. “They were really focused on [Stella’s] nature works, and we have a great work by Stella here at the High,” said Stephanie Heydt, the museum’s Margaret and Terry Stent Curator of American Art. “It was a great collaboration.”
Stella was born in 1877 in Muro Lucano, a hilly city in southern Italy. He immigrated to New York originally intending to follow his brother into medicine, but after a uninspired stint in medical school, he pivoted to painting. Stella studied briefly under the impressionist painter William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art and soon developed a reputation as a sensitive interpreter of the urban working class.
The High’s exhibit features of some of these early works, in which the natural world spills out amidst the smokestacks and steel mills of America’s industrial revolution. “This is the Progressive Era at the turn of the twentieth century,” Heydt explained. “And he’s looking at the people in his own community, specifically the Italian immigrants.”
Traveling back in Europe, Stella was inspired by the contemporary artists he saw there: the cubism of Pablo Picasso and early futurism of Umberto Boccioni. He drew on these sources back in the U.S, earning acclaim for his dynamic geometric paintings of the metropolis; several choice selections, including American Landscape (1929), and Smoke Stacks (1921), are on view in this exhibit.
But even as Stella built his career on the towering achievements of urban industry, he yearned for the sunny landscapes of his youth. He frequented havens like the Bronx Botanical Gardens, which opened in 1891 and offered escape from New York’s sooty streets. Walking through Brooklyn one day, he later wrote in an essay, he stumbled across a sapling.
“This little tree is coming up from a crack in the sidewalk, shadowed by a factory, and he sees himself in this tree,” Heydt said. “He says, This is me.”
That encounter inspired Tree of My Life (1919) a florid aria sung to the natural world. A sturdy olive tree—Stella himself—anchors the canvas, surrounded by a vortex of tropical plants, birds, and, in the background, Stella’s native Italian hills. Brandywine Museum Director Thomas Padon envisaged the exhibit after seeing Tree of My Life in a private collection. “I was transfixed,” Padon told the New York Times.
Stella painted Tree of My Life and Brooklyn Bridge within a year of each other, announcing a duality that would define the rest of this career. While he painted flowers throughout his life, it was his moody, futurist treatments of New York that made him an art-world celebrity. European artists fleeing World War I were landing in New York in droves, sparking a new creative fascination with the cutting-edge American city. “(Marcel) Duchamp says the art of Europe is dead, and this century is about America,” explained Heydt. “Stella’s understood to be one of the first American-based painters to figure out . . . how to paint the new modern city.”
But Stella’s love of the natural world—and of Europe—endured. He returned to botanical themes throughout his life, infused with the Old Master styles of the Italian Renaissance. Many works in this exhibit invoke the sun-drenched vistas and towering cathedrals of Italy, overrun by sumptuous flowers that are decidedly not native to the Iberian peninsula. Stella—a native turned immigrant—seems to delight in the contradiction: in Dance of Spring (1924), tropical orchids and calla lilies burst open in a beam of beatific light, like Jesus rising to the heavens in a Raphael. Purissima (1927), part of the High’s own collection, evokes the iconic Renaissance Madonna, here transformed by Stella’s whimsy: the stamens of a lily serve as her celestial crown, while snowy egrets (the Florida kind) grace her sides.
With saturations of color abounding in every room, Visionary Nature enjoys an added depth through words. Stella was a prolific writer, and the exhibit makes canny use of text to explore his passion for the living world. “My devout wish,” reads one such diary segment on view, “That my every working day might begin and end . . . with the light, gay painting of a flower.” In a unique addition to their exhibition, the High created a short video featuring more of Stella’s own thoughts. “We wanted to end with his voice telling us how he felt about various paintings in the show . . . or his ideas about art,” explained Heydt.
Stella, who died in 1946, spent the last years of his life in ill health, largely confined to his studio. He never stopped painting the natural world; a few of those last works, modest trees still full of flair, are on view here. A few years before his death, his friend and fellow artist Charmion von Wiegand paid a visit to his studio. She found Stella amidst a riot of color, studiously painting his favorite subject. “Flower studies of all kinds litter the floor,” wrote von Wiegand, “and turn it into a growing garden.”
