The falling snow is too beautiful to miss out on with hibernation!
Actually it was darn cold! Minus 30 something celcius with the windchill but it was snowing and I wanted to get this photo, so the dog and I went out for a short walk. Got a couple quick shots and back in the house to do our own "hibernating". After all that, the falling snow didn't end up showing up in the photo as well as I'd have liked...oh, well, at least I got the shot. :)

Beim Makrokurs sollten wir auch bewusst nach Motiven suchen, die sich für SW eignen - ich hab mich für die Vergissmeinnicht entschieden.
We were encouraged to take macro pictures that are suitable for b&w conversion - here is mine.
These are some little linen and felt embroidered pin cushions that I made to sell in my friends shop, The Rowan Tree in Lodi, CA. They're filled with walnut shells to keep your pins sharp and they have a nice weight to them. I enjoyed making these little pretties, I want to make more!

In memory of my Grandfather, a WWII vet in the Elgin Regiment.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Colonial entities, the U.S. Constitution, and the current U.S. government refer collectively to people Indigenous to the continental U.S. as Indian. Hollywood’s misrepresentations of Indigenous people reflect, and attempt to justify U.S. policy. The term Indian is a refusal to acknowledge sovereignty and attempts to erase the diversity of over 500 distinct nations preexisting the invasion of this continent by Europeans.
Indigenous land and Indigenous communities remain unique, resilient, complex and beautiful; despite over 500 years of occupation by violent settler states.
Never Forget refuses to legitimize settler occupation, and reframes a word of generic reduction to call for collective action. It is a monumental invitation to landowners: to seek out in Indigenous leadership for land relationship, to center Indigenous knowledge in creating sustainable practices, to contribute to real rent initiatives, and to transfer land titles and rights to Indigenous nations and communities.
Land acknowledgements have become popular in the twenty-first century, with cultural and government entities paying lip service to Indigenous existence, without meaningful action of land return to Indigenous nations. Under U.S. law, Indian reservations are Federal lands, owned by the U.S. government. Indigenous people living on Indian reservations cannot, for instance, mortgage their homes, because banks won’t accept a mortgage on Federal property. Currently, the titles and rights to less than 3% of land within the United States belong to Indigenous people.
The Land Back movement is not about removing anyone who lives here from this land. It’s about recognition of, and respect for Indigenous knowledge and sovereignty, and returning what was violently invaded and occupied. Settler attempts at land management without adequate knowledge or understanding have resulted in many ecosystems pushed to the brink of collapse. Forests are burning, air quality diminishing, the earth and water are heavy with industrial waste threatening the lives of everything dependent upon them.
Governance of land titles, water rights, and other “resources” led and protected by Indigenous nations on their traditional territories benefits all people; ensuring sustainability and regeneration through specific knowledge gained since time immemorial. As Indigenous people we are responsible to the land we come from, to care for and protect it—for our grandchildren’s grandchildren, and for all life who would call this land home.
Never Forget marks what is. It is also a beacon for the future.
We acknowledge the Cahuilla People as the original stewards of the land on which Desert X takes place. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with the indigenous people in this place. We pay our respect to the Cahuilla People, past, present and emerging, who have been here since time immemorial.

Lest we forget ...
Ella observes Remembrance day with a poppy.
Today is Remembrance Day, which marks the anniversary of when World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. It is observed to honour not only the brave selfless souls who have fought for our freedom in the world wars, but to also ensure we do not forget the millions killed, injured and affected in all conflicts either.
Let us remember them and their sacrifice.
Lest we forget ...

On a day like today, it seems appropriate to have Forget-me-Nots as my 365 image. The gentle pinks and blues to remember the young people who have been so terribly lost their lives and injured both physically and mentally from such a cowardly act in Manchester. So deeply sad. 😢

Unbeknownst to many, Los Angeles has served as one of the most important oil provinces on the planet. From the initial discoveries near the turn of the 20th century, through the roaring 1920s, and into the present, oil has often guided and defined the development of the city. What's interesting, however, is that this fact is so often eclipsed by Los Angeles' well-documented histories as a center of film, entertainment, boosterism and agriculture. Forgetting Oildorado excavates the city's rich oil history, examines the slow decline of the local industry, and uncovers many of the active oil fields that lie hidden in plain sight, in the very midst of this teeming city.
This 120-page book includes text based upon Frank Ruchala Jr.'s monumental examination of Los Angeles' oil history, oiLA, with historical imagery sourced from Early California Oil by Kenny Franks and Paul Lambert. All other photography was shot by me, using a combination of Digital SLR, 35mm SLR, Medium Format Holga, and 35mm Lomo cameras.
