This week's theme is 'Generosity'
I have a jar full of quarters and I was wondering what to do with them.
An HDR shot (3 exposures) taken from Michigan Avenue with another of the 100 5 ft. Hearts lining Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. If you can see the small print on the heart it states 'I Heart Lawyers' This was taken the same morning as my last two shots, Heart and Early Morning Blues. Enjoy!

Although all the rooms of the Rone - Empire installation exhibition are amazing for many different reasons, the stairwell also stands out. Part of the reason for this is the softly fashioned portrait of Lily Sullivan, but it is also for the generous, light filled space of grand proportions itself, with its sweeping staircase and wrought iron balustrades.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

A column of freshly captured Russian prisoners are marched towards Gefangenenlager Münsingen (POW camp at Münsingen). While POWs from England and France received food and clothing parcels from home, the Russian prisoners got nothing and often resorted to raiding garbage dumps and thievery to supplement their meagre ration of soup provided by the Germans.
Santa Maria Novella is a church in Florence, Italy, situated just across from the main railway station which shares its name. Chronologically, it is the first great basilica in Florence, and is the city's principal Dominican church.
The church, the adjoining cloister, and chapterhouse contain a store of art treasures and funerary monuments. Especially famous are frescoes by masters of Gothic and early Renaissance. They were financed through the generosity of the most important Florentine families, who ensured themselves of funerary chapels on consecrated ground.
This church was called Novella (New) because it was built on the site of the 9th-century oratory of Santa Maria delle Vigne. When the site was assigned to Dominican Order in 1221, they decided to build a new church and an adjoining cloister. The church was designed by two Dominican friars, Fra Sisto Fiorentino and Fra Ristoro da Campi. Building began in the mid-13th century (about 1246), and was finished about 1360 under the supervision of Friar Iacopo Talenti with the completion of the Romanesque-Gothic bell tower and sacristy. At that time, only the lower part of the Tuscan gothic facade was finished. The three portals are spanned by round arches, while the rest of the lower part of the facade is spanned by blind arches, separated by pilasters, with below Gothic pointed arches, striped in green and white, capping noblemen's tombs. This same design continues in the adjoining wall around the old churchyard. The church was consecrated in 1420.
On a commission from Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai, a local textile merchant, Leone Battista Alberti designed the upper part of the inlaid black and white marble facade of the church (1456–1470). He was already famous as the architect of the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, but even more for his seminal treatise on architecture De Re Aedificatoria, based on the book De Architectura of the classical Roman writer Vitruvius. Alberti had also designed the facade for the Rucellai Palace in Florence.
Alberti attempted to bring the ideals of humanist architecture, proportion and classically-inspired detailing, to bear on the design while also creating harmony with the already existing medieval part of the facade. His contribution consists of a broad frieze decorated with squares and everything above it, including the four white-green pilasters and a round window, crowned by a pediment with the Dominican solar emblem, and flanked on both sides by enormous S-curved volutes. The four columns with Corinthian capitals on the lower part of the facade were also added. The pediment and the frieze are clearly inspired by the antiquity, but the S-curved scrolls in the upper part are new and without precedent in antiquity. The scrolls (or variations of them), found in churches all over Italy, all find their origin here in the design of this church.
The frieze below the pediment carries the name of the patron : IOHAN(N)ES ORICELLARIUS PAU(LI) F(ILIUS) AN(NO) SAL(UTIS) MCCCCLXX (Giovanni Rucellai son of Paolo in the blessed year 1470).
The vast interior is based on a basilica plan, designed as a Latin cross and is divided into a nave, two aisles with stained-glass windows and a short transept. The large nave is 100 metres long and gives an impression of austerity. There is a trompe l'oeil-effect by which this nave towards the apse seems longer than its actual length. The slender compound piers between the nave and the aisles are ever closer when you go deeper into the nave. The ceiling in the vault consists of pointed arches with the four diagonal buttresses in black and white.
The interior also contains corinthian columns that were inspired by the Classical era of Greek and Roman times.
The stained-glass windows date from the 14th and 15th century, such as 15th century Madonna and Child and St. John and St. Philip (designed by Filippino Lippi), both in the Filippo Strozzi Chapel. Some stained glass windows have been damaged in the course of centuries and have been replaced. The one on the facade, a depiction of the Coronation of Mary dates from the 14th century, based on a design of Andrea di Bonaiuto da Firenze.
The pulpit, commissioned by the Rucellai family in 1443, was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and executed by his adopted child Andrea Calvalcanti. This pulpit has a particular historical significance, because from this pulpit the first attack came on Galileo Galilei, leading eventually to his indictment
The Holy Trinity, situated almost halfway in the left aisle, is a pioneering early renaissance work of Masaccio, showing his new ideas about perspective and mathematical proportions. Its meaning for the art of painting can easily be compared by the importance of Brunelleschi for architecture and Donatello for sculpture. The patrons are the kneeling figures of the judge and his wife, members of the Lenzi family. The cadaver tomb below carries the epigram: "I was once what you are, and what I am you will become".
Of particular note in the right aisle is the Tomba della Beata Villana, a monument by Bernardo Rossellino in 1451. In the same aisle, you can find the tombs of the Bishop of Fiesole by Tino di Camaino and another one by Nino Pisano.
The Filippo Strozzi Chapel is situated on the right side of the main altar. The Strozzi Chapel was the place where the first tale of the Decamerone by Giovanni Boccaccio began, when seven ladies decided to leave the town, and flee from the Black Plague to the countryside. The series of frescoes from Filippino Lippi depict the lives of Philip the Apostle and James the Apostle. They were completed in 1502. On the right wall is the fresco St Philip Driving the Dragon from the Temple of Hieropolis and in the lunette above it, the Crucifixion of St Philip. On the left wall is the fresco St John the Evangelist Resuscitating Druisana and in the lunette above it The Torture of St John the Evangelist. Adam, Noah, Abraham and Jacob are represented on the ribbed vault. Behind the altar is the tomb of Filippo Strozzi with a sculpture by Benedetto da Maiano (1491).
The bronze crucifix on the main altar is by Giambologna (16th century). The choir (or the Cappella Tornabuoni) contains another series of famous frescoes, by Domenico Ghirlandaio and his apprentice the young Michelangelo (1485–1490). They represent themes from the life of the Virgin and John the Baptist, situated in Florence of the late 15th century. Several members of important Florentine families were portrayed on these frescoes. The vaults are covered with paintings of the Evangelists. On the back wall are the paintings Saint Dominic burns the Heretical Books and Saint Peter's Martyrdom, the Annunciation, and Saint John goes into the Desert.
The stained-glass windows were made in 1492 by the Florentine artist Alessandro Agolanti, known also as il Bidello, based on cartoons by Ghirlandaio.
Gondi Chapel
This chapel, designed by Giuliano da Sangallo, is situated on the left side of the main altar and dates from the end of the 13th century. Here, on the back wall, is the famous wooden Crucifix by Brunelleschi, one of his very few sculptures. The legend goes that he was so disgusted by the "primitive" Crucifix of Donatello in the Santa Croce church, that he made this one. The vault contains fragments of frescoes by 13th-century Greek painters. The polychrome marble decoration was applied by Giuliano da Sangallo (ca.1503). The stained-glass window is recent and dates from the 20th century.
Cappella Strozzi di Mantova
The Cappella Strozzi di Mantova is situated at the end of the left transept. The frescoes were commissioned by Tommaso Strozzi, an ancestor of Filippo Strozzi, to Nardo di Cione (1350–1357). The frescoes are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy: Last Judgment (on the back wall; including a portrait of Dante), Hell (on the right wall) and paradise (on the left wall). The main altarpiece of The Redeemer with the Madonna and Saints was done by his brother Andrea di Cione, better known as Orcagna. The large stained-glass window on the back was made from a cartoon by the brothers Andrea and Nardo di Cione.
Della Pura Chape
The Della Pura Chapel is situated north of the old cemetery. It dates from 1474 and was constructed with Renaissance columns. It was restored in 1841 by Baccani. On the left side there is a lunette with a 14th-century fresco Madonna and Child and St. Catherine. There is a wooden crucifix by Baccio da Montelupo (1501) on the front altar.
Rucellai Chapel
The Rucellai Chapel, at the end of the right aisle, dates from the 14th century. It houses, besides the tomb of Paolo Rucellai (15th century) and the marble statue of the Madonna and the Child by Nino Pisano, several art treasures such as remains of frescoes by the Maestro di Santa Cecilia (end 13th – beginning 14th century). The panel on the left wall, the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine, was painted by Giuliano Bugiardini (with possibly assistance by Michelangelo). The bronze tomb, in the centre of the floor, was made by Ghiberti in 1425.
Bardi Chapel
The Bardi Chapel, the second chapel on the right of the apse, was founded by Riccardo Bardi and dates from early 14th century. The high-relief on a pillar on the right depicts Saint Gregory blessing Riccardo Bardi. The walls show us some early 14th-century frescoes attributed to Spinello Aretino. The Madonna del Rosario on the altar is by Giorgio Vasari (1568)
Sacristy
The sacristy, at the end of the left aisle, was built as the Chapel of the Annunciation by the Cavalcanti family in 1380. Now it houses again, after a period of fourteen years of cleaning and renovation, the enormous painted Crucifix with the Madonna and John the Evangelist, an early work by Giotto. He had rediscovered the ideal proportions for the human body, as established by the Roman architect Vitruvius (1st century AD, see also : Vitruvian Man). The sacristy is also embellished by a glazed terra cotta and a marble font, masterpieces by Giovanni della Robbia (1498). The cupboards were designed by Bernardo Buontalenti in 1593. The paintings on the wall are ascribed to Giorgio Vasari and some other contemporary Florentine painters. The large Gothic window with three mullions at the back wall dates from 1386 and was based on cartoons by Niccolò di Pietro Gerini
Spanish Chapel
Fresco by Andrea di Bonaiuto da Firenze in the Spanish Chapel: Allegory of the Active and Triumphant Church and of the Dominican order (c. 1365)
The Spanish Chapel (or Cappellone degli Spagnoli) is the former chapter house of the monastery. It is situated at the north side of the green Cloister (Chiostro Verde). It was commissioned by Buonamico (Mico) Guidalotti as his funerary chapel. Construction started c. 1343 and was finished in 1355. The Guidalotti chapel was later called "Spanish Chapel", because Cosimo I assigned it to Eleonora of Toledo and her Spanish retinue. The Spanish Chapel contains a smaller Chapel of the Most Holy Sacrament. The Spanish Chapel was decorated from 1365 to 1367 by Andrea di Bonaiuto, also known as Andrea da Firenze. The large fresco on the right wall depicts the Allegory of the Active and Triumphant Church and of the Dominican order. It is especially interesting because in the background it shows a large pink building that may provide some insight into the original designs for the Duomo of Florence by Arnolfo di Cambio (before Brunelleschi's dome was built), although this interpretation is fantastical as the Duomo was never intended to be pink, nor to have the belltower at its back side. This fresco also contains portraits of pope Benedict IX, cardinal Friar Niccolò Albertini, count Guido di Poppi, Arnolfo di Cambio and the poet Petrarch. The frescoes on the other walls represent scenes from the lives of Christ and Saint Peter on the entry wall (mostly ruined due to the later installation of a choir), The Triumph of Saint Thomas Aquinas and the Allegory of Christian Learning on the left wall, and the large "Crucifixion with the Way to Calvalry and the Descent into Limbo" on the archway of the altar wall. The four-part vault contains scenes of Christ's resurrection, the navicella, the ascension, and Pentecost. The five-panelled Gothic polyptych that was probably originally made for the chapel's altar, depicting the Madonna Enthroned With and Child and Four Saints by Bernardo Daddi dates from 1344 and is currently on display in a small museum area accessed through glass doors from the far end of the cloister. Together, the complex iconography of the ceiling vault, walls, and altar combine to communicate the message of Dominicans as guides to salvation.
Architecture
Giorgio Vasari was the architect, commissioned in 1567 by Grand Duke Cosimo I, for the first remodeling of the church, which included removing its original rood screen and loft, and adding six chapels between the columns. An armillary sphere (on the left) and a gnomon (on the right) were added to the end blind arches of the lower façade by Ignazio Danti, astronomer of Cosimo I, in 1572. The second remodeling was designed by Enrico Romoli, and was carried out between 1858 and 1860.
Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
The square in front the church was used by Cosimo I for the yearly chariot race (Palio dei Cocchi). This custom existed between 1563 and late in the 19th century. The two obelisks marked the start and the finish of the race. They were set up to imitate an antique Roman circus. The obelisks rest on bronze tortoises, made in 1608 by the sculptor Giambologna.
Artists who produced items for the church include:
Sandro Botticelli – early nativity scene above the door
Baccio D'Agnolo – wood carvings
Bronzino – the Miracle of Jesus
Filippo Brunelleschi – The Crucifix (between 1410 and 1425)
Tino da Camaino – Bust of St. Antoninus (in terra cotta); the Tomb of the Bishop of Fiesole
Nardo di Cione – frescoes of the Divine Judgment
Duccio – Rucellai Madonna
Lorenzo Ghiberti – tombstone of Leonardo Dati (1423)
Domenico Ghirlandaio – frescoes (late 15th century) in the Tornabuoni Chapel, design of the stained-glass window
Filippino Lippi – frescoes in the Strozzi Chapel, depicting the life of Philip the Apostle; stained glass window
Benedetto da Maiano – the Tomb of Filippo Strozzi (1491) at the backside of the Strozzi Chapel.
Giacomo Marchetti : Martyrdom of Saint Laurence.
Masaccio – The Trinity
Nino Pisano – Madonna with Child (1368)
Bernardo Rossellino – Monument to the Beata Villana (1451)
Santi di Tito – Lazarus Raised from Death
Paolo Uccello – frescoes in the cloisters
Giorgio Vasari – Madonna of the Rosary (1568)

The Mobile Emergency Room is a project by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, a participating artist of the Maldives Pavilion working with art formats developed around the notion of emergency.
Emergency Room is a format providing space for artists to engage in urgent debates, address societal dysfunctions and express emergencies in the now, today, before it is too late. Geoffroy’s approach allows immediate artistic intervention and displaces the contemporary to the status of delayed comment on yesterday’s world.
Taking as point of departure climate change and the Maldives, Geoffroy developed a scenario of disappearance and translated actual emergencies and hospitality needs into artistic interventions. In this context he activated his penetration format in order to transform “rigid exhibition spaces” into “elastic and generous exhibition spaces”.
An intervention facilitated by curator Christine Eyene, the Mobile Emergency Room was set up at the Zimbabwe Pavilion during the opening week of the biennale with the hospitality of commissioner Doreen Sibanda and curator Raphael Chikukwa. The first pieces presented in this room consisted in Geoffroy’s tent and an installation by Polish artist Christian Costa. Since then it has been animated online and has extended from being a space for artists expressing emergencies about climate change, to encompassing various emergency topics.
From 24 to 28 August, Geoffroy was in Venice collaborating with Danish artists Nadia Plesner, Mads Vind Ludvigsen, who created new work everyday, raising various emergencies and concerns, with a daily change of exhibition (“passage”) at 3.00 pm. For his last day in Venice, Geoffroy addressed the Syrian situation.
The work produced during this intervention is displayed until 30 September. The presentation is based on Geoffroy's concept of "Delay Museum" where art created for past emergencies is exhibited, while new work enters the Mobile Emergency Room.

VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

“Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists,
and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.”
~ Charles A. Dana ~
With gratefulness for a dear friend who no longer posts on flickr, but keeps in touch via e-mail, I'd love to pass on this LINK
especially during this very hectic holiday season.
If you can grab a cup of tea or your favorite beverage, and relax for just over 15 minutes, you'll be incredibly refreshed and peaceful after watching this simple wisdom on happiness, patience and gratitude.
Stop, Look, GO!

Goal: Create a graphic for this Sunday's message (short notice)
Audience: Entire church
Direction: The message is about radical giving with emphasis being on the fact that you can give more than money... hence the different symbols of things you can give such as love, time, etc.
Project: Graphic to be used on screens and bulletin
Matthew 6 - Giving to the Needy
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Undated letter generously translated by Hans; written to the author's sister-in-law. The author hopes she can recognise him and tells her he is well.
Looking every bit like Sturmtruppen, these salty looking characters are posing with a MG08 mounted on a standard "trench mount" (Grabenlafette).
The trench mount introduced the concept of machine-gun mobility to the German troops, and thus prompted a veritable profusion of locally-fabricated adaptations and copies which sprang up virtually overnight, only to disappear just as fast after the advent of the MG08/15.
Gudda meaning Doll(male) in Hindi, the female version is Guddi.
I found this precious doll all decked up in traditional Muslim attire at
a social gathering.
I just love his expression...so much curiosity in his eyes and also wondering at the same time, why mummy has made him wear such heavy clothes and who all these silly people are :-)
This may look familiar, since I've already posted a photo of this earlier. This is the super cool hand made art book that WeatherGrrrl gave me for Xmas.
This is one of five pieces she's submitting to the annual juried student art exhibit here at UMM, so I've been taking, processing, and organizing photos of the pieces for the submission. Three of the other four are also books like this, so I'll post my collage for them in the next few days.

Angel on My Shoulder: An Autobiography Hardcover – November 14, 2000
by Natalie Cole (Author), Digby Diehl (Author)
Born to legendary Nat King Cole in the halcyon days of the 1950s, Natalie Cole grew up to
become a versatile singer with Grammy Award status. But that success came with a price,
where she was dragged down by depression and drugs. This is her story.
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Songstress Cole's as-told-to autobiography opens with the harrowing tale of how she and
her bodyguard nearly were killed in a hotel fire. As it happens, she had just "made a
bargain with the Lord." If the deity let her take a hit of freebase as the room filled
with smoke, "then that means I'm finished. I'm going to get high, and then I'm going to
die." Fortunately, the Lord acted swiftly. As Cole readied the pipe, "the door was blown
off its hinges" by "twin angel Gabriels," who turned out to be firefighters. The singer
was saved! And her life changed. Besides that amazing grace, Cole mentions her famous
father--one of her abiding companions--early and often, so that Nat Cole, God, and the
music she considers a gift from them both could be said to dominate her life.
Thoughtfully, she recalls her childhood, recounts the legal battle between her mother and
her and her siblings over her father's estate, and relates the erratic behavior of an
aging Frank Sinatra, whom she felt had transferred his affection for her father to her.
Although she concentrates mostly on the good times, Cole isn't shy about the bad times,
which makes this intriguing, engaging, and inspirational life story worthy of attention.

Natalie Cole
Natalie Maria Cole (February 6, 1950 – December 31, 2015) was an American singer,
songwriter, and actress. Cole was the daughter of American singer and jazz pianist Nat
King Cole. She rose to success in the mid-1970s as an R&B singer with the hits "This Will
Be", "Inseparable" (1975), and "Our Love" (1977). She returned as a pop singer on the 1987
album Everlasting and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she
sang traditional pop by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable...
with Love, which sold over seven million copies and won her seven Grammy Awards. She sold
over 30 million records worldwide.[1] On December 31, 2015, Cole died at the age of 65 at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, due to congestive heart failure.
Early life[edit]
Natalie Cole was born at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, to American singer and
jazz pianist Nat King Cole and former Duke Ellington Orchestra singer Maria Hawkins
Ellington, and raised in the affluent Hancock Park district of Los Angeles.[2] Regarding
her childhood, Cole referred to her family as "the black Kennedys" and was exposed to many
great singers of jazz, soul and blues. At the age of 6, Natalie sang on her father's
Christmas album : The Magic of Christmas and later started performing at age 11.
Cole grew up with an older adopted sister, Carole "Cookie" Cole (1944–2009) (her mother
Maria's younger sister's daughter), adopted brother Nat "Kelly" Cole (1959–95), and
younger twin sisters Timolin and Casey (born 1961).[3] Through her mother, Cole was a
grandniece of educator Charlotte Hawkins Brown.[4]
Her paternal uncle Freddy Cole is a singer and pianist with numerous albums and awards.
Cole enrolled in Northfield School for Girls, an elite New England preparatory school
(since 1971 known as Northfield Mount Hermon School after merging with another school)
before her father died of lung cancer in February 1965. Soon afterwards she began having a
difficult relationship with her mother. She enrolled in the University of Massachusetts
Amherst. She transferred briefly to University of Southern California where she pledged
the Upsilon chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. She later transferred back to the
University of Massachusetts, where she majored in Child Psychology and minored in German,
graduating in 1972.[5][6]
Early career[edit]
Natalie and Carole Cole at NBC studios, 1975
Cole grew up listening to a variety of music that included Aretha Franklin and Janis
Joplin. After graduation in 1972 she began singing at small clubs with her band, Black
Magic. Clubs initially welcomed her because she was Nat King Cole's daughter, only to be
disappointed when she began singing cover versions of R&B and rock songs.
With the assistance of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancey, a songwriting and producing duo,
she recorded some songs in a studio in Chicago that was owned by Curtis Mayfield. Her demo
tapes led to a contract with Capitol,[7] resulting in the release of Cole's debut album,
Inseparable, which included songs that reminded listeners of Aretha Franklin. Franklin
later contended that songs such as "This Will Be", "I Can't Say No", and others were
offered to her while she was recording the album You but she had turned them down.
Released in 1975, the album became an instant success thanks to "This Will Be", which
became a top ten hit and won her a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. A
second single, "Inseparable", also became a hit. Both songs reached number-one on the R&B
chart. Cole also won Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards for her accomplishments, making
her the first African-American artist to attain that feat.[citation needed] The media's
billing of Cole as the "new Aretha Franklin" started a rivalry between the two singers.
The feud boiled over at the 1976 Grammy Awards when Cole beat Franklin in the Best Female
R&B Vocal Performance category, a category which Franklin had won eight times before
losing to Cole.
Stardom[edit]
Becoming an instant star, Cole responded to critics who predicted a sophomore slump with
Natalie, released in 1976. The album, like Inseparable, became a gold success thanks to
the funk-influenced cut "Sophisticated Lady" and the jazz-influenced "Mr. Melody".
Cole released her first platinum record with her third release, Unpredictable, mainly
thanks to the number-one R&B hit, "I've Got Love on My Mind". Originally an album track,
the album's closer, "I'm Catching Hell", nonetheless became a popular Cole song during
live concert shows. Later in 1977, Cole issued her fourth release and second platinum
album, Thankful, which included another signature Cole hit, "Our Love". Cole was the first
female artist to have two platinum albums in one year. To capitalize on her fame, Cole
starred on her own TV special, which attracted such celebrities as Earth, Wind & Fire, and
also appeared on the TV special, "Sinatra and Friends." In 1978, Cole released her first
live album, Natalie Live!
In early 1979, the singer was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That same
year, she released two more albums, I Love You So and the Peabo Bryson duet album, We're
the Best of Friends. Both albums reached gold status in the U.S., reflecting her
continuing popularity.
Detour and resurgence[edit]
Following the release of her eighth album, 1980's Don't Look Back, Cole's career began to
take a detour. While Cole scored an adult contemporary hit with the soft rock ballad
"Someone That I Used to Love" off the album, the album itself failed to go gold. In 1981,
Cole's personal problems, including battles with drug addiction, began to attract public
notice, and her career suffered as a result. In 1983, following the release of her album
I'm Ready, released on Epic, Cole entered a rehab facility in Connecticut and stayed there
for a period of six months.
Following her release, she signed with the Atco imprint Modern Records and released
Dangerous, which started a slow resurgence for Cole in terms of record sales and chart
success. In 1987, she changed to EMI-Manhattan Records and released the album Everlasting,
which returned her to the top of the charts thanks to singles such as "Jump Start (My
Heart)", the top ten ballad, "I Live For Your Love", and her dance-pop cover of Bruce
Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". That success helped Everlasting reach one million in sales
and become Cole's first platinum album in ten years. In 1989, she released her follow-up
to Everlasting, Good to Be Back, which produced the number two hit "Miss You Like Crazy";
it also achieved international success, reaching the top ten in the United Kingdom.
Cole released her best-selling album with 1991's Unforgettable... with Love on Elektra
Records, which saw Cole singing songs her famous father recorded, nearly 20 years after
she initially had refused to cover her father's songs during live concerts. Cole produced
vocal arrangements for the songs, with piano accompaniment by her uncle Ike Cole. Cole's
label released an interactive duet between Cole and her father on the title song,
"Unforgettable". The song eventually reached number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and
number ten on the R&B chart, going gold. Unforgettable...with Love eventually sold more
than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone and won several Grammys, including Album of the
Year, Record of the Year and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance for the top song.
Cole followed that success with another album of jazz standards, titled Take a Look, in
1993, which included her recording of the title track in the same styling that her idol
Aretha Franklin had recorded nearly 30 years earlier. The album eventually went gold while
a holiday album, Holly & Ivy, also became gold. Another standards release, Stardust, went
platinum and featured another duet with her father on a modern version of "When I Fall in
Love", which helped Cole earn another Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
In 1995, Cole was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from the Berklee College of
Music.
In 1999, Cole returned to her 1980s-era urban contemporary recording style with the
release of Snowfall on the Sahara on June and second holiday album The Magic of Christmas
on October, which recorded with London Symphony Orchestra. A year later, the singer
collaborated on the production of her biopic, Livin' for Love: The Natalie Cole Story with
Theresa Randle playing Natalie Cole. She also released the compilation Greatest Hits, Vol.
1 to fulfill her contract with Elektra.
She changed to Verve Records and released two albums. Ask a Woman Who Knows (2002)
continued her jazz aspirations, while Leavin (2006) was an album of pop, rock, and R&B
songs. Her version of "Daydreaming" by Aretha Franklin was a minor hit on the R&B chart.
In 2008, seventeen years after Unforgettable... with Love, she released Still
Unforgettable, which include songs made famous by her father and Frank Sinatra. In April
2012, she appeared on the Pennington Great Performers with the Baton Rouge Symphony
Orchestra.

Cole in 2013
Cole pursued a career in acting. She appeared several times in concerts or other music
related programs, including the 1988 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute with sidemen
Richard Campbell, Jeffrey Worrell, Eddie Cole, and Dave Joyce. In 1990, she and Al Jarreau
sang "Mr. President" on the television special Comic Relief special. After Johnny Mathis

Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Program. Cole received a nomination for Outstanding
Individual Performance but lost to Bette Midler.
In 1993, she was among the guests of honor attending Wrestlemania IX at Caesar's Palace in
Las Vegas. At the 65th Academy Awards she performed a medley of two Oscar-nominated songs:
"Run to You" and "I Have Nothing", both performed by Whitney Houston in the film The
Bodyguard. Cole made a number of dramatic appearances on television, including I'll Fly
Away, Touched by an Angel, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Grey's Anatomy.[8] She
had the lead role in the TV movie Lily in Winter. She appeared in the Cole Porter biopic
De-Lovely. In 2001, she starred as herself in Livin' for Love: the Natalie Cole Story, for
which she received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Television Movie,

Cole was married three times. She married Marvin Yancy, songwriter, producer, and former
member of the 1970s R&B group The Independents on July 31, 1976. She had a son, Robert
Adam "Robbie" Yancy (October 14, 1977 – August 14, 2017); he was a musician who toured
with her. Marvin was her producer, and an ordained Baptist minister who helped reintroduce
her to religion. Under his influence, Cole changed from a lapsed Episcopalian to become a
devout Baptist. Cole and Yancy got divorced in 1980; Yancy died of a heart attack in 1985,
aged 34. In 1989, Cole married record producer and former drummer for the band Rufus,
Andre Fischer; they were divorced in 1995. In 2001, Cole married Bishop Kenneth Dupree;
they divorced in 2004. In 2017, son Robbie died of a heart attack, aged 39.[9]
Cole was active in the Afghan World Foundation cause, supporting Sonia Nassery Cole (no
relation).
Drug abuse and recovery[edit]
In 2000, Cole released an autobiography, Angel on My Shoulder, which described her battle
with drugs during much of her life, including heroin and crack cocaine. At one stage as an
addict, Cole worked as a prostitute's tout in order to fund her drug habit.[10] Cole said
she began recreational drug use while attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
[11] She was arrested in Toronto, Canada, for possession of heroin in 1975.[12] Cole
spiraled out of control – in this phase of her life there was an incident in which she
refused to leave a burning building, and another in which her young son Robert nearly
drowned in the family swimming pool while she was on a drug binge.[13] She entered rehab
in 1983. Her autobiography was released in conjunction with a made-for-TV movie, Livin'
for Love: The Natalie Cole Story, which aired December 10, 2000 on NBC and re-aired
October 26, 2011, on Centric TV.
Health problems[edit]
Cole announced in 2008 that she had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, which is a liver
disease that is spread through contact with infected blood. Cole attributed having the
disease to her past intravenous drug use. Cole explained in 2009 that hepatitis C "stayed
in my body for 25 years, and it could still happen to addicts who are fooling around with
drugs, especially needles."[14]
Four months after starting treatment for hepatitis C, Cole experienced kidney failure and
required dialysis three times a week for nine months. Following her appeal for a kidney on
the Larry King Show, she was contacted by the organ procurement agency One Legacy, in May
2009. The facilitated donation came from a family requesting that, if there were a match,
their donor's kidney be designated for Cole.[14]
Death and funeral[edit]
Cole canceled several events in December 2015 due to illness. It was reported on January
1, 2016, that she had died the day prior at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Her family stated that at the time of her death, Cole had "ongoing health issues".[15]
[16][17] According to Cole's publicist, Maureen O'Connor, the singer's death was the
result of congestive heart failure.[18] Prior to this final stage in the singer's life,
Cole's last musical performance was a short set of three songs in Manila.[19]
In official news on her cause of death, her family stated that Cole was diagnosed with
idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension after her kidney transplant in 2009.[20]
Although Cole was clean and sober at the time of her death, her past intravenous drug use
contributed to her demise.[21]
Cole's son, along with her sisters, offered the following comment. "Natalie fought a
fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived... with dignity, strength and honor. Our
beloved mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain unforgettable in our hearts
forever."[22]
Cole's funeral was held on January 11, 2016, at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ
in Los Angeles. David Foster, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan,
Eddie Levert, Mary Wilson, Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Jesse Jackson, Angela Bassett, Denise
Nicholas, Marla Gibbs, Jackée Harry and Freda Payne were among the mourners at the
funeral. After the funeral, she was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale,
California.[23][24]
Builder: Chantiers de la Liane, Boulogne
Year: 1936
Location Cornwall
Length on deck: 43'6" + bowsprit

A positively stunning and eye-catching yacht, French pre-war designed and built, UK owned and refitted is now offered for sale lying in Cornwall.
The long, fine counter stern with the sweetest of sheers, the generous beam, the high freeboard with an almost flush white scrubbed teak deck, the wonderful rich varnished teak deck works and a tall Bermudian cutter rig all serve to make this yacht a classic in every sense of the word.
The yacht was originally robustly built to a high standard in teak and has been extensively refitted over recent years in past and present ownership to make her now as good if not better than new.
Built by the Chantiers de la Liane in Boulogne, N France in 1936.
An old brochure we have probably dating from the early 1970’s indicates that she was offered for either bare boat or skippered charter in the South of France and claims that she had already made several North Atlantic crossings.
We first came across her in the Golfe de Morbihan in 1987 when she was owned by Ambrose von Herberstein. We sold her for him to Gareth Wright and she came under UK flag and sailed to Devon. She changed hands again to Cornish ownership, a boatyard owner who upgraded her significantly and raced her successfully in several classic regattas.
In 2005 she came to the present owner who keeps her on the River Fal. In his ownership she had some major work done in a Cornish boatyard, detailed below and is now in absolutely superb condition.
She has competed successfully on the classic yacht circuit on the South Coast coming second to Kelpie in the Fowey Classics passage race from Fowey to Falmouth in 2006. She took on the moderns in the 2010 Fowey Royal Regatta passage race from Falmouth to Fowey and flying her enormous asymmetric spinnaker she won her class.
I had the great pleasure of sailing in her to Douarnenez in the summer of 2012 when we put her through her paces in both gentle breezes when she ghosted along always moving and in stronger winds when she really picked up her heels and skipped along. She has a lovely steady motion, she responds well to a lift in the breeze, when you learn her ways she can be nursed up close to the wind and you can still cook a 3 course dinner below.
Construction.
Carvel planked in 1 1/8” Burma teak, caulked and payed. The hull planking is very fair, no plank seams visible and finished in expertly applied off-white enamel with a high polish.
100mm x 70mm grown oak frames at 60cm in single sweeps from forward back to the mast and from the forward end of the cock-pit (or the engine) up into the counter.

Seams payed in butyl rubber.
All new deck beams in 1995.
5” varnished teak toe rail.
At the same time as the new deck was laid, the cock-pit coamings, the coach-roof coamings, beams and sheathed ply roof, the sliding entrance hatch and garage, the charming little twin doors with bevelled glass panels and the fore hatch were all replaced in new teak to the original design.
The yacht appears to be almost flush decked with a shallow, narrow coach-roof standing only some 6 or 7 inches off the deck, reaching up almost to the mast and not much wider than the cabin entrance hatch thus leaving what appears to be acres of wide clear side decks but just enough to give little extra head-room through the boat below.
The yacht is not fitted with stanchion posts or guard-wires, neither pulpit of pull-pit clutter her exquisite lines.
Coach-roof coamings are in varnished teak.
Sliding hatch in a garage entrance to the cabin with tow little glazed doors and a long ladder down into the bowels of the ship. Only then do you appreciate her size and her lines.
Cock-pit
The cock-pit coamings form a rectangle, also in highly varnished teak standing 6” off the deck and take off nicely each side of the narrow coach-roof leaving a wide bridge deck and seating each side of a deep foot well, with varnished linings and teak gratings.
Self-draining well.
The main sheet is on a horse across the well easily accessed by either crew or the helm if short handed sailing.

The inner fore stay anchored to an eye bolt set through the bowsprit down to the inside face of the stem.

SPECIAL GUEST CHAT April 19, 2019 - SWFLEC Co-founders Andy Pritchett and Ginnie Pritchett McSpadden.
Essec09 (Admin): Good evening everyone. Our SWFEC extended family would like to extend a warm welcome to SWFEC’s co-founders Andy Pritchett and Ginnie Pritchett McSpadden! Thanks to their love of eagles and generosity thousands of people around the world have been given a special window into the lives of Harriet and her family.
We want to thank the Pritchetts not only the incredible cameras they installed that show the spectacular views of the nest and surrounding areas, but for the many hours they have devoted keeping the cameras streaming. And we can’t forget to thank you for providing this chat!
We are very excited to have you both join us this evening. Many of our SWFEC viewers provided questions earlier for Andy and Ginnie. They will try to answer as many as time allows. The first part of the session will address the questions that were already submitted.
If you could limit your comments during this part of the session, that would help us manage the session. If there is time the chat may be open to more questions addressed to Andy or Ginnie. Please join us as we welcome Andy and Ginnie to SWFEC’s chat.

Essec09 (Admin): At this time, we will not post comments until after the first part of the session. Thank you!
vlpritchett (Moderator): Hello Everyone, Like Andy said, thank you so much for being here, watching the cams and hosting us tonight!
Essec09 (Admin): Lynn Baranski York asks: What motivated you to create SWFEC?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Thanks Lynn, In 2012 we heard about the Decorah Eagle Cam and how popular it had become. We as a family one night were discussing it and thought how neat it would be to put a camera up of our own. 4 months later, October 1 of 2012 was when we officially started the SWFEC.
Essec09 (Admin): Eagletoe06 asks: When & who had the idea first for sharing this beautiful property of this eagle nest & sharing with the world? And has there ever been another E besides E12 that has been so fascinated with the pond & office side of the property?Thanks!
vlpritchett (Moderator): It was a family decision and little did we know it would be shared with the world.
For the second part of the question, I would say all the eaglets have enjoyed the pasture and the different parts of it but E12 definitely loves the water that’s for sure! Its been so fun to watch them play there this year
Essec09 (Admin): GinnyLWI asks: Ginnie and Andy did you ever think your project in just seven seasons would have well over 138 million viewers from over 130 countries and now all 50 states represented by viewers in chat? We all thank you so very much!
Andy Pritchett (Admin): The short answer, absolutely not! I remember calling Ginnie and telling her, “We’ve got a 1,000 total views!” We couldn’t believe that people wanted to watch our live stream.
Essec09 (Admin): Peggy Main asks: For either of you: What do you feel has been the most significant impact of having the live cam and site, professionally or personally?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): For me (Andy), it has been hearing about how the cameras have impacted our viewers’ lives. Knowing that what we are doing is bringing joy to so many around the world is something I never expected to happen but am grateful to be able to do. Our original commitment was to foster education and appreciation for the bald eagle.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Like Andy says, hearing stories and meeting so many amazing viewers has been a huge impact on my life. Also getting to know and keep in touch on a daily basis with all our amazing moderators. Also being able to understand and educate others on the Bald Eagle species (especially through our new book A Day with Harriet) has become a fun thing for me!
Essec09 (Admin): Babs Liberty asks: Is/was Dick Pritchett your Dad?Could you tell us a bit about him and if he has/had any involvement in putting up the cams or noticing Ozzie & Harriet in the area or love of Eagles?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Dick Pritchett was our grandfather. He moved to Fort Myers in 1950's and was a pioneer in the local real estate market. Our father has followed in his footsteps and continues the business today.
Essec09 (Admin): Tammy Boren Boyle asks: I'm just curious if the Pritchetts know just how much this has touched people's lives and opened up a whole new world that I , for one, didn't even know exists....That said, THANK YOU for giving us this opportunity to go into these eagle's lives.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you Tammy. Its been a wild amazing ride. We never expected any of this so every season we look at it as a blessing to be able to provide this experience.
Essec09 (Admin): lucybird asks: How did you go about assembling such a great / fantastic crew of moderators and camera folks?
vlpritchett (Moderator): Lucybird, That’s a great question! We have been extremely fortunate to have the moderators that we have.They are the real stars who make this camera such an amazing experience for the viewers. We are forever grateful to the team that has supported us over the years. This is a great opportunity to say, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Essec09 (Admin): (your check is in the mail lucybird).
Essec09 (Admin): LCampbell75 asks: I just wanted ask them what their favorite memory is of any season since they had their cams on live??
Andy Pritchett (Admin): If I had to choose just 1 and only 1, I’d pick Season 1. The excitement that I felt and the nerves can’t be replicated. It was such a fantastic learning experience and it really opened our eyes to the lives that Ozzie and Harriet lived. I remember it like it was yesterday watching the eggs hatch thinking, how cool is this!
vlpritchett (Moderator): I would actually say the same. We were so native and new at everything. We were basically learning along with Hope & Honor. And then when they accidentally fledged together, and then had a successful season. It was a great season all around.
wskrsnwings (Admin): 😊
Essec09 (Admin): Peggy180 asks: I would like to ask the Pritchetts if any of their family are zoomies?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): We may control the cameras a little bit during the early part of the season but we like to leave that responsibility to the professionals
Essec09 (Admin): E9Lover2 asks: 1) What made you decide to create this website? 2) Did you ever think that this website/family of eagles would be seen by millions of people all over the world?Finally, I would like to thank you & your family for this amazing opportunity you have given so many. The world would be a better place with more people like you in it! Thank You.
vlpritchett (Moderator): First of all, a big Thank you to you as well for watching and supporting the cameras. Secondly, never in our wildest dreams did we think that this would happen. The original goal was to create something that the local community could share in and enjoy. Little did we know the power of the internet and how the local community would include people from all over the world.It really is humbling to think that so many people watch the site daily.
Essec09 (Admin): Kayrh asks: Afternoon! I check in first thing in the morning and off and on throughout the day and again at bedtime.My questions are: how did they come to be involved in eagle watching, Making the connection with AEF etc. Also, are fallen trees/bushes like the one near the nest left in the area for natural environmental reasons?
I have to say that my life has been changed by watching these Eagle nests in so many ways. We have had two tragedies in the last 4 years and to be able to turn to the nest to watch was normal.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thanks for watching every day Kayrh! We are no eagle experts but after learned so much the last 7 years and tried to meet and work with the best in the eagle/raptor world.The pasture has pretty much been left as is to help keep the Eagle’s habitat as normal as possible. We may have to remove some in the future for safety concerns but no plans as of yet.
Essec09 (Admin): jsheptwo asks: Did you have an interest in bald eagles before the nest was built in your pasture or is that when you started following them?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Our family has been lucky enough to be around nature and the outdoors our whole life so we have a strong appreciation and respect for nature. Seeing the Eagles build so close, sparked an interest that quickly grew into a bigger passion project for us.
Essec09 (Admin): JudyJirasek asks: Were you young kids when you started watching Harriet and Ozzie? Did you see them when they had a nest across the street?
vlpritchett (Moderator): We always knew there was a nest over there and occasionally did see an eagle pair. There are many eagles in the area so it would be difficult to tell if it was. It wasn't until they moved across the street that we had the chance to really "get to know them"!
Essec09 (Admin): PamW2017 asks: How does anyone get any work done during eagle season at your office? Is anyone allowed to go outside after fledging? Can you send me a job application? LOL
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Everyone in the office loves the Eagles and watches 24/7 but we do work hard and always aware the Eagles are there.
Essec09 (Admin): Ilene Horwitz asks: How often do either of you go to lecture in the surrounding schools or in the surrounding community? For Ginnie, Have you thought of continuing with this series of books on the Eagles for young children? I think that her first one is just terrific. Like others I so appreciate what everybody has done here and I wish that we didn’t have to look forward to them leaving so soon but I’m happy they’re healthy and ready to fly.
vlpritchett (Moderator): We have actually been doing more this season and hope to increase that. Having the Children’s Book connection has helped start the conversation and been an easy transition to meeting with groups & starting partnerships like the ones we have with CROW & now the Audubon.
We do hope to have a series of Books! Stay tuned this summer for details on Book #2!
Essec09 (Admin): Mary Cay Sullivan asks: I love the children’s book about Harriet. Have you ever thought about doing a pictorial book (i.e. a “coffee table” book) about this nest?
vlpritchett (Moderator): A great question but we leave the amazing photography to those on the ground. We do have a Zazzle Store if folks do want a customized Eagle Family item. www.zazzle.com/store/swfleaglecam
Essec09 (Admin): SueUMc: Have you ever considered a lightning protection system for the tree? Thank you for providing such a great gift for the world.
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Not for the tree itself. We do everything we can to protect the camera equipment from lighting so that there isn’t any technical failure during the eagle season. Protecting the tree is something we have been looking into
Essec09 (Admin): djt asks: Are any more cams in the plan or different ones?
vlpritchett (Moderator): Hey DJT, I think you probably mean new cams but in regards to this nest location, technology is ever changing and we hope to make these nest cams better than ever over the coming season
Essec09 (Admin): Beverly Morden Hall asks: Are there any new plans for next season? And is there anything we haven't asked that you would like to tell us? Thank you so much for all you have done.
vlpritchett (Moderator): We also plan to fix all of the unfortunate technical difficulties we had this season
Which I know will make EVERYONE VERY HAPPY!
LuvsE9: We are all VERY HAPPY already Ginnie!
Essec09 (Admin): morsy asks: Good evening. If Harriet decides to build a new nest in the west pasture, would you relocate the cams?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): We would do everything we can to continue the live streams but never want to compromise the natural habitat to make it happen so it really all depends. Let’s all hope we never have to find out
Essec09 (Admin): AndrewNH26 asks: Can you hear the Es Squees from your office, and if so, how do you concentrate with all that racket ? lol
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Yes we hear them all the time! I will never grow tired of hearing the eagles.
Essec09 (Admin): djt asks: Do you watch Harriet & M15 during the summer months? How often do you see them?
vlpritchett (Moderator): They normally stay in the area for a while after the cams shut off and only take extended periods of time away from the area. Each year is different and they continue to surprise us!
Essec09 (Admin): MtGal30 asks: When you started this did you have a clue to how popular it would be, even globally!? TY! HAGN n SED'S...I miss this Eagle Family already, shamwows arrived!
Andy Pritchett (Admin): NO IDEA! We still laugh about it all the time. The first few months we got so excited about 25 people watching, never in our wildest dreams did we think this would snowball into something so amazing.
Essec09 (Admin): Diane Beatty asks: You ever think of doing a cartoon type movie about H and M15and the Es for Chlldren for the classroom for teachers to use as a teaching tool? ty for allowing us to watch on cam look forward to it year after year.Your mods and zoomies rock.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Diane! This is my dream! My ultimate goal in the educational space is actually an animated movie that educates and entertains young minds in a way today’s cartoon movies do!
And Hoped A Day with Harriet would be the natural first step in that direction
Essec09 (Admin): Ziva asks: Hi everyone! Is there any chance you will tag the babies in the future. I miss E9 and the other babies so very much. It’s sad to know if we see him we won’t know for sure.He will be forever missed and worried about. They tag babes that need medical attention. Can you tag these babes in the future?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): We don’t have any specific plans right now to tag the eaglets or adult eagles. We would never intentional disrupt their season to tag but if for some unfortunate reason they were receiving medical treatment, we would look at all the options and have in the past. Understanding their life beyond their final fledge is a mystery to us all that we would love to try and help solve.
Essec09 (Admin): Ziva asks: Is the gator on your property? If so, can you remove it? I’m sure it would be expensive but a go fund me page could help with that. I’m worried about our family. TY for all you do.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thanks for your concern. NO Gators on property just lots of small fish, turtles and horses in that pond.
Essec09 (Admin): trusteagles asks: Do you ever sit out on the screen porch and watch eagles from there? Is there a big screen TV at the office?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): We always take a few moments out of our day to appreciate the eagles. NO big screen just our laptops
Essec09 (Admin): JudyJirasek asks: Do any of the neighboring businesses or homes ever complain about the eagles? Do they ever steal food from BBQ grills?
vlpritchett (Moderator): They have not. There is plenty of food available for the eagles in their natural environment. Many have even stopped to say they too watch the eagles every day and appreciate our efforts. It's been a wonderful community project for so many
Essec09 (Admin): mdofmich asks: I saw a school bus one day by the stables. Do you have class room children visit the horse area?Thanks for making this cam available to all of us.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Mdofmich, the stables are operated by the family and are private horses. During the summer there are occasional camps that are put on that might have utilized a school bus but I can’t say for sure.
Essec09 (Admin): Jackie Brown asks: Thanks Andy and Ginnie for joining us in chat. Andy, we see Ginnie in chat once in a while. Do you read chat and why don't you sign and say hello?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Yes I do Jackie. Whenever I do watch chat I enjoy reading the questions and answers. I’m always learning as well and our moderators always do such a fantastic job that I never want to interrupt.
Essec09 (Admin): Jackie Brown asks: I always ask for the donation info to be posted. Why is it that this site does not post at the end of each chat- the request for donations? Thanks Pritchett family for allowing people all over the world into M15 and Harriet's home and your pasture.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thanks for the reminder Jackie, while donations are always greatly appreciated, we don’t want anyone to ever feel pressured or obligated to donate. We do this with 100%no expectation of a viewer to donate but always so honored and floored when viewers do.
Essec09 (Admin): Babs Liberty asks: Andy, I know that the mods posted your comments in chat about the day you were in your truck with E9 on the driveway but I am sure there are many that have not seen it (or would just like to hear it again). Could you talk about your thoughts that day? I know many watching the cams at that time were terrified E9 was going to be hit not realizing that was you and that you were well aware of E9 being there and would take the necessary precautions. Thanks!
Andy Pritchett (Admin): What a day that was! Even when life gets busy and you have places to be, that was a great reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. I never thought that day would be so impactful but I did sit there and think, how lucky am I to be able to witness E9 learn and explore for the very first time. I also had a pretty good excuse to why I was running late.
Essec09 (Admin): hootie-hoo asks: Andy Prichett .......what was going through your mind when E9 was in front of your truck in the driveway?? And how long did that incident last??
Andy Pritchett (Admin): It probably lasted for about 5 minutes but what a neat experience to be able to watch!
Essec09 (Admin): WandaE9 comment: "In addition to my heart-felt gratitude for the LIVE stream, thank you for having your 1st CHAT on my B-DAY...the BEST gift I could ask for." Woo Hoo, lol!
vlpritchett (Moderator): HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA!!!
Essec09 (Admin): The following comment needs to be posted in segments -
Lauren Roberts comment: Hello to the Pritchett’s!I just wanted to thank you for all you have done by making this webcam available to all of us…to the world. But on a personal note I want you to know how you have touched us without even knowing it.
Andrew, I’m not sure if you remember and it is quite alright if you don’t, I know you are busy… Almost 2 years ago to the day I emailed you in regards to a book I was planning on writing about Harriet and M15…during E9’s season. I said I would send you excerpts of the book when it was completed wherever the Pritchett name, mods or zoomie was mentioned for your permission.
I am currently on the 5th edit of the book. So I will be sending you excerpts very soon! But my main reason for bringing this up tonight is since I started the book, we have had some challenging times. I mentioned recently on chat that my husband was diagnosed with a “c” word that I don’t speak of. It has been torture watching him go through treatments, but like the eagles, he is resilient!
I had to let you know that while we were going through the most difficult part of treatment the cameras came back up for this season. I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for giving us some peace, some happiness and joy through some very rough days.
By you providing this window into this eagle family’s lives, you brought peace and happiness to our world that had suddenly been turned upside down. I just wanted to thank you for giving us something to look forward to and something that had nothing to do with doctors! We wanted you to know that without even knowing us, you have filled our hearts and home with so much needed joy. Thank you both so much…God Bless.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you Lauren! We are sending good vibes your way and hope for the best for you and your family! So glad we could help provide a little comfort through the cams!
Essec09 (Admin): At this time Ginnie and Andy will try to answer some of the questions that have come in tonight.
Hummingbird: Question. What happen to the sound this year.What are the plans to fix this. I have been here for so many years and I have to say this is something I missed this year
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Great question...technical difficulties. It will be fixed next year
vlpritchett (Moderator): We know it was frustrating for all and so appreciate you sticking by us through the downed times and the good!
Macky Miller: I get the feeling that cars drive by, totally obvious to the piece of paradise they are passing. Do you attempt to keep it somewhat low key in the area to protect both the E's and your property? Or, is it just drivers being drivers and in a hurry to get to wherever they are going----which happens to be fine with me.Leave the E's to the rest of us.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Because we do have a business on the property, we try to keep it as normal as possible. Bayshore Rd is a busy road but think many do appreciate their proximity to the nest everyday while on the go.
I know I do every time I drive by
patlogan: After the season ends and Harriet and M15 leave the area to go “on vacation” do you ever worry that they might not come back for what ever reason...I know I have before I’m actually able to see them.
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Absolutly, every year. All we can do is prepare and hope they do return.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Like Andy mentioned, We know how fortunate we are for this and never take a day for granted
Andy Pritchett (Admin): We do everything we can to take care of their habitat
svad9561: This entire venture makes my heart so very happy. I enjoy it so much that I forget that the eagles don't know that we are watching. It feels like they are performing for us!
E9Lover2: Essec, I apologize if this question was asked, if so disregard & will check for answer after chat. Q-Andy or Ginny, if for some reason Harriet & M15 decided to relocated (lets hope not), say across the street would you still be able to have cams there?
Journi: Have you noticed Harriet & M15 bringing any more sticks to that west pasture tree this season? They seem to like that tree!Thank you for this amazing experience!
vlpritchett (Moderator): A lot of talk about the West Pasture! Such an unknown but the Eagles know best and we will always do what we can to bring the live cams back year after year.
Robin Oliveira: I want to add to the chorus of gratitude here for the cameras. I watch from Seattle, keeping the cameras to the side as I work from home on my computer. But I was also able to visit the nest this year, and it was so terrific to see the eagles in person.Thank you for opening your property, too. We stood to the side of your long driveway and while I was there I was so grateful to you for your generosity. I look forward to the eagles every year.
Maewood Hamlin: A huge thank you for sharing your time with is Jenny and Andy! What a beautiful thing your family has given us
Janet Moore: Hello from Panama! I started watching this cam from the first season when I still lived in the states. I just love every fall when the cams go up! I'm mostly a lurker but from time to time say hi! I just wanted to thank you for this experience. You have the very best stream set-up out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
MelodyCS: Ginnie and Andy, thank you so much. Where did all the fish come from in the pond?
WPBEgal: Question. Many have said that there were no fish in the pasture pond. Recent events have showed that to be wrong. Did you all "stock" the pond and if not how did fish get in there?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): The pond is actually county maintained and is regularly stocked with local fish
plnlct: Good evening. Where did the eagle statues come from?
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Sebring, FL. A local artist hand poured and hand painted them.
Peggy180: Thank you so much, Ginny & Andy. You' ve given us so much to be able to share the life cycles of "our" eagle family and to enjoy seeing your beautiful pasture and property. I've learned so much and met so many good people.
Dorothy Frey: I live local so I have had the wonderful pleasure of coming to the nest & seeing them in person. Thanks to you millions of people came enjoy this lovely eagle family.
Jackie Brown: Andy, will you do me the honor? Please post the Donation info. Your donations ARE tax DEDUCTIBLE>Tyvm
Apr 19, 6:50 PM
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Yes, tax deductable. Best place to visit is southwestfloridaeaglecam.com
JudyJirasek: Do you own any of the horses in the pasture?
vlpritchett (Moderator): We personally do not but my aunt runs a boarding business in the back and many of the horses are owned by her or her boarders.
BckEE: A sincere, from the heart ❤ Thank You, Andy and Ginnie,and crew! 😊 For all that you do! Q: Are you aware that E12 now owns the pond? lol
Amy Ravenscraft: A quick thanks to those who bring us this fascinating and educational view every year. So majestic!
eaglelover60: hi everyone, not one to chat much. wanted to say hello and thank you to the pritchett family for everything they do.and ty for the cams to watch our beautiful eagles.
Randy Hester: vlpritchett...you think maybe during the summer the sound will be fixed?
magben: Hello Ginnie and Andy, so nice to have you with us!
MagEagle9: I know when Season 5 went viral it took you all by wonderful surprise with thousands of new devoted followers! I wonder though if you realize how many folks lives were changed and sent down wonderful new paths? Paths of raptor rescue &rehabilitation, EagleWatch volunteers, conservation and education messages being shared by individuals and more. Your cam opened this door for me that I would never have otherwise seen. I think of E9 with every raptor I help treat & EagleWatch nest I monitor. I'm so grateful!
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you Mag! It astounds us every day and to hear everyone's story is the biggest thank you we can receive
Doing stuff like this is also so fun and makes the long days worth it as we balance our day jobs, families and this project
SueUMc: Andy and Ginnie- good evening and thank you for sharing your time with us and also providing this great gift into the eagle's world. The entire SWFEC team is by far the best and obviously because they were chosen by the best. God bless you and Happy Easter.
Shannon Jemison Price: Thank you so much for everything. You have brought much joy to my granson and I. We share the watching of the eagles every year. Thank you for allowing us to join in and share such a special family!
DaveinMissouri: Alula and Happy Easter to the Pritchett family!
trusteagles: 138 million views and easily 138 million thanks and good wishes. Cool. I’d like to thank you, especially, for inviting these wonderful mods to come and teach us so much. I’ve never enjoyed school like this. Thank you for the chat tonight and every day and night. Wow. Stocked pond. I think we all learned something here! Maybe E12 DID catch that fish this morning.Wouldn’t that be something? Another first. I wouldn’t put it past her. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
yellowrose0127: Paula Henry, aka yellowrose0127: Ginny and Andy, thank you just doesn't feel like I am saying enough. What a continued blessing this site is. I am able to visit the nest from Maryland for 5 years now and I still cry at the sight of it. I have met many wonderful people, made lasting friends and share a bond that few people understand.😉 So my question is this----do you ever go to the church side and visit with the people who come there?? Part 1.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Paula, I do on occasion. Funny enough, I always feel so weird visiting because I feel like an outsider that nobody knows but do try to stop and introduce myself from time to time. I know Andy stops by more than I because he works on property and drives by everyday
Andy Pritchett (Admin): Hi everyone! I hate to have the leave early but my 2 year old is calling my name. THANK YOU to Everyone for your time and for joining us tonight. This will always be an experience i will never forget. Thank you to everyone again, it really does mean so much.

Essec09 (Admin): I know some of our viewers posted earlier and we will get to those soon. Thank you for your patience.
Ilene Horwitz: Thank you so much for your time tonight! Like many chatters, E9 grabbed our hearts because he was so special and he added more fans( me included) of this site. Like Lauren,many of us have found the eagle family a great help during times of stress and illness. I wonder if you would consider going to hospitals and senior center with videos, books etc ?. It would be great for them!
vlpritchett (Moderator): IIlene, A great question. If you or anyone has suggestions on places or contacts, please do send to our email listed on the website
purpleagle (Admin): That sounds like a great idea Ginnie---many of our viewers have mentioned elderly parents who love the cam
neweagleluva: Andy & Ginnie, have never known about the lives of eagles until I found your eagle cam. Can not thank you enough for sharing these beautiful lives and knowledge with us (your moderators and zoomies are the fabulous). Have learned a tremendous amount since E9 and passed on to others the importance of eagle preservation and facts. Thank you, thank you.
anniep: Hi Andy and Ginny, thank you so very much for all you do so the rest of the world can see this fabulous family of eagles and other wildlife.
eaglesrawsm: Ginny & Andy, Thank you for sharing this site with the world It has opened the eyes of so many & we have really become a family of eagle lovers.❤️
Terri Wroblewski: I am so envious that you have a front row seat to this beautiful family. How do you get anything done ? I would be out in the area watching every move >
vlpritchett (Moderator): Terri- Sadly we do have lots of work that keeps us busy but they are an amazing distraction and we are so lucky to have them and the horses as our "work" neighbors
Grosbeak: Ginny and Andy, I have no question; just loads of gratitude for all the pleasure you have provided. The site is truly wonderful. And a special shout-out to wskrsnwings for all the great videos. They're a pleasure during the "dry" months! Finally,infinite thanks to Harriet and M15. What would we have without you?
AndrewNH26: Thank you Andy and ginnie for this wonderful gift .And for assembling our Stellar and Beloved Moderator team ( The Mod Squad ) ( Great And Powerful Mods )
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thanks for joining Andrew- Our Mod Team really is the best! We couldn't be half of what we are without them and their dedication and support.
LJohnson1776: What is it like to have eagles living in your backyard?
Megster: I would like to just say Thank You Ginnie and Andy for this amazing site you have provided for all of us. It has truly enriched my life. And thank you for assembling such an incredible array of administrators and zoomies to teach us all about these beautiful raptors, especially Harriet and M15 and all their babies..❤️
Pat Kwap Kemble: Question...How far from the nest is the gulf?
vlpritchett (Moderator): Good question Pat- Definitely not as close at the river. I will have to look at the map and see
hootie-hoo: Thank you for creating this platform for education of eagles.......the chat room is a circle a friends, "eagle friends" as I say.We not only love your eagles, we also support one another in sad times and happy times.
Lucie Hurtubise: Thank you so much Andy and Ginnie for this wonderful learning experience about bald eagles!! This is my third year watching Harriet, M15 and their offspring, I have become hooked since day 1.
CarrieB: Like me, many watch from work we get our work done &our bosses are smart watching relieves stress
NHDalGal: Andy and Ginnie, thank you for joining us this evening and answering all of our questions. I think we all feel that we know both of you a little bit better and have a better understanding of how SWFLEC came to be. We are so appreciative of this gift that you have provided to help everyone around the world learn about the life of the bald eagle.
MsSmith57 (Admin): Pat Kwap Kemble: The Gulf of Mexico is approximately 15 miles from North Ft. Myers. Charlotte Harbor is approximately 12 miles. Fort Myers Beach is approximately 18 miles from North Ft. Myers.
patlogan: I also dealt with a husband who was very sick over the last 3 years and he passed away in February. This place has been a place for me to come to for peace and to find something to smile about. Thank you for your wonderful gift❤️
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you Pat for joining along and best wishes to you family.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thanks MsSmith!
jsheptwo: Has the idea of posting a speed limit on your driveway ever been considered? Or, a limit or restriction to people parking to watch the eagles while on your driveway?
vlpritchett (Moderator): jshep- that is a big debate in our family. We don't want to "regulate" our business driveway but do want to keep the Eagles best interest top of mind, that is how we compromised with the Signs during Fledge Time and beyond.
LuvsE9: A huge thank you to our mods and zoomies too! I hope this continues for many more years with all of you. Appreciated more than you will ever know.
GG1: Ginnie and Andie your generosity has been a wonderful lifeline for so many homebound people and those, for various reasons, who have limited social avenues to explore . I know that I speak for others with a heartfelt Thank You.
Nancy Phillips: I thought your property was just magical when I visited in Feb. You made this old lady from Ohio very happy, thank you for all you do and the opportunity for us to enjoy these beautiful Eagles.
MtGal30: Your family tossed a pebble in the pond and look what happens? The ripple continues to touch lives every single day because of the Pritchett Family ! SEH's
eaglesrawsm: Many thanks to whiskersnwings & ladyhawk also,for their contribution to this site.
Bgilm: You have lightened up so many lives by your kindness and generosity of sharing these dynamic eagles. I am homebound and you have made my life so much easier to endure. I look so forward each and every day to see what they are up to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
PamelaCStallings: I remember laughing at E9 taking time getting out of your way Andy, thinking its E9’s world we’re just living in it.He was adorable. 😂
Luv2fly: Thank you Andy and Ginny for sharing this wonderful experience with us all. No wonder the eagles built their home on your beautiful property! I'm sure they agree, it's Location,Location, Location
yz235b: Thank you so much to the Pritchett family for making this experience possible. The entire team makes this educational and fun. All of the people here are the best. Thanks so much!
Macky Miller: I will be there next February for a wedding on the 12th. If you see someone sitting in a chair from early morning until dusk, no, it will not be a new statue; it will be I who counted the days down for an entire year to be able to watch this phenomenal spectacle in person. I thank for for the incredible education I have received.
Beverly Morden Hall: How if at all has your life changed from this?
vlpritchett (Moderator): Bev- Every day of my life has changed for the better (honestly!)- I could have never in a million years this project would shape my life like it has.
Babs628: Bye Andy and thank you so much for your time and all that you do
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you all for joining us this evening! I hope we got to everyone's questions. If not, I think our amazing moderators are going to jump in and clean up the mess I made
Essec09 (Admin): I want to thank you for sharing your evening with us Andy and Ginnie. And please tell your family how much SWFEC has meant to ALL of us. You opened the door to your private world and shared a gift to all. I don’t think we need to tell you how much it has meant to be part of SWFEC’s family.
Essec09 (Admin): We will be posting this session on SWFEC’s Flickr so that everyone will be able to read it. Thank you again! Hope we can do this again soon!
Raptor1 (Admin): you didnt make a mess, thank you for spendng time with us
Jackie Brown: Andy, Ginnie, Thank you so very much for coming and spending time with us tonight. Please come back soon. Or just pop into chat and say hello. Ginnie, I sent you and email through your book site today.
Eagletoe06: Heartfelt thanks for this chat & the Pritchetts! You’re the best! Happy Easter & also H& M!
purpleagle (Admin): Thank you so much for your time with us this evening Ginnie--I know that everybody enjoyed it!!
Essec09 (Admin): I know many of you posted earlier and please be assured that the Pritchetts will read each and every one of the comments.
vlpritchett (Moderator): Thank you all! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and we can continue this annual chat in the future! And stay tuned in the coming weeks/months for updates on next season
Essec09 (Admin): We would like to respond to another question that was asked by Lisa Talbot: I wonder about the fate of the eaglets that are hatched second. Is there a difference in the survival rate between the first and second hatchling? I didn’t mean ultimate survival, but survival to fledge! Sorry I wasn't clear.
Essec09 (Admin): To our knowledge there isn’t any definitive research that addresses that. If we find anything we will be sure to post it, Lisa. Since most nests are not observed by cameras, it would be hard to determine a survival rate for 1st hatch and 2nd hatch.
Sue_Lyons (Admin): Ginnie, having you and Andy with us tonight has been such a special experience, thank you so very much for sharing your experiences and answering our questions, it has been just wonderful!
Shelli22 (Admin): Ginnie you rocked! Thank you so much for being here with us all this evening!
LoisNY54 (Admin): Ginnie it was so nice to see you and Andy on tonight and hope you will do it again. Thank you for all the support you give to the team.
MelodyCS: Thank you so much for joining us Ginnie. Happy Easter to you and your family. Much love from all of us❤
E9Lover2: Andy,Ginny, thank you so much for sharing in our chat tonight & making this experience possible. Happy Easter/Passover & SEDs until next time.
TinEar: Gin, I know you're well aware of tghe E9 phenomenon that started this whole thing. Local TV stations all over the country carried clips night after night of E9's progress and that drove the traffic to the site. Was that planned or was it just a generic happening?
purpleagle (Admin): TinEar they are gone for the evening but believe me it was not planned. Andy mentioned tonight how surprised he was
eaglelover60: Andy and Ginnie, have a Happy Easter and i'm saying SED's, thank you all for everything. E9 was my first eaglet.good night all!!
Megster: Thank you again and SED’S to the Pritchett’s and all our superb admins, Mods and zoomies-Peace
Magd: Hi Sam...cannot miss this.... the pritchetts really deserve the best
PurrCee: Ginnie & Andy thank you for being with us tonight..also thank you for giving us this precious and most generous gift of watching & learning about "our" eagle family! This is like no other...the mods, zoomies, ground crew are absolutely the best! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have touched so many in such a special way 💞
Diane Levick Lewis: I also want to thank Andy and Ginny for this great gift you have given us. My life hasn't been the same since that first year and I have learned so much about eagles than I could ever imagine.
sherbertt: Thanks so much for your time this evening! I have to say I have learned a lot this season with no sound. Body language and behavior. No sound necessary. So greatful for what we have!
SueUMc: Ginnie- can't wait for your second book and future projects. I watched your interview- your personality just shined and it was a joy to see your enthusiasm.
Maewood Hamlin: I couldn't ask for a better Birthday present than to have tge cams go live on October 1st! Thank you for making my birthday so special!
Pat Kwap Kemble: Thanks so much MsSmith57. I want to thank the Pritchett so much opening my eyes to eagles. For 2 winter seasons in CT I am a volunteer at an eagle observation center
plnlct: They're beautiful Andy, look so real.
Essec09 (Admin): Randy Hester: vlpritchett...you think maybe during the summer the sound will be fixed?
I think your question might have been missed once it was posted.Usually the cameras go through maintenance and a clean-up before they are installed in October.
Debbie Fortin: Thank you for answering our questions. It is special having the cam, mods, zoomies, and chats.
Carol Guarco Myers: Thank you for the greatest gift! I found H&M because the news press had an article right after I visited Fort Myers in December. The nest has truly brought so much joy. Thank you again
Susan Kiser: Hello Andy, Ginnie and everyone! I'm happy to be one of the many that SO enjoy the view of your beautiful property and have been following those wonderful eagles for 3 years now!
OVginger: Hola y'all Just tuned in & so very nice to see Ginny &Andy here. We do thank y'all so very much for this window onto Nature. Been enjoying your hospitality since E3 & 4 & your Modsquad is the BEST!!!
Sharon Davis: I would like to know if the Pritchett s have a favorite baby eagle besides or beautiful eagle mom and dad by the why thank you for have this time tonight
purpleagle (Admin): Sharon Davis Andy did say Hope and Honor---year one
TaraTrac: Ginnie and Ilene, I too have thought of volunteering at the assisted living center where my late mo-in-law lived and sharing SWFEC on their big screen. Many of them have dementia and live in the present, as do the eagles. They watch nature shows and I think they'd love it! Thanks again for all your family does,Ginnie. It got me through a year of cancer treatment with love in my heart. Have a good Easter weekend. {{Eagle hugs}}
Candy Larson: From Idaho here, wanted to say thank you so much Pritchett family for what you do for all of us and especially for the kids. The world would be better off with more people like you!Thank you..
calnurse: I love your book, and happy to hear #2 is in the pipeline.Watching the eagles is a comforting place to go when needing respite from the stresses of daily life. Thank you Pritchetts for your generosity in sharing your world with all of us.
Beaches: Ginnie & Andy, appreciate you taking the time to join us.Andy, my favorite is still E9 with your pickup. I will admit that Pond Princess has given me many chuckles this season too. Thanks again for all that you do.
BluSkye: Good Evening to all. Love all the questions and just wanted to add my thanks for this wonderful amazing experience that you are sharing with us....
Gerry Bohn: Good evening Andy and Ginnie. We're all so grateful to you for allowing us to experience behind the scenes. Could you tell us a little about the concept of the 24/7 cam?
Essec09 (Admin): Hi Gerry. I hope you read some of their remarks earlier. I think your question was addressed. At least I hope it was.
LCampbell75: how you guys fix the cam when they go down and not being able to go manually fix them?
MsSmith57 (Admin): LC they can only be fixed remotely if possible during eagle nesting season, by pc.
GinnyLWI (Admin): LC,, The cameras will be taken down and at that time they are able to do maintenance on them. They just cannot access the cameras during nesting season October 1 through May 15th
kittylove: Thank you so very much Andy & Ginnie! This is my first season and it has been amazing! I have learned so much about eagles! I really became addicted and I have had the cam going in the Operating Room where I work in Idaho at Eagle Eye Surgery!Everyone I work with has thoroughly enjoyed them as well. Lots of multi-tasking going on not wanting to miss anything!
Knothole: You have so much comtrol over everything but your eagle family . Must be strange especially in the beginning wondering if your eagle family would show up the next year
monieagl11: North Carolina here, Thank You SVM what a Blessing this has been for me. Learned so much from Our Patient Mods.You've kept the surrounding area so Beautiful and Serene for these Majestic Eagles. Again Thank You for the Privilege to see these Beautiful Eagles and other wildlife at the Pond. I'm bedridden, my Window into the Wide Blue Yonder😊💞
Debbie Nosse: Hi Ginnie and Andy . Do you know where Harriet and Ozzie's nest was before they built the nest on your propery ?
Essec09 (Admin): Hello Debbie. I believe they did know the approximate location of the nest across the main road.
beju: This year it seems the natural color of the eagles are quite dull in color are there any plans for a different cameras a few years ago the colors were beautiful from the cam
Essec09 (Admin): Beju, sometimes the settings on your own monitor affect the color. To me the colors have been very vivid. And except for one camera these are the same cameras that have been used for the past couple of years.
Elaine Herbert: Do you ever worry about the gator accross the street?Seems the eagles are avoiding that area this year.
samour17 (Admin): Hi ElaineH. There is really not much they can do about the gator at Yonder Pond and it is possible we are not seeing all the time when they are over there.
HOeagletfan1: We know Bayshore is a heavily trafficked street with roadkills that is food for the Eagle Family. I worry abt the adults possibly getting hit trying to get the road kills. Can FFW put up signage to warn traffic slow down and be on alert for any animal or eagles on the road ? This nest has seen great happiness and great sadness snd sure don't want to see the sadness once again if not planned well...
Essec09 (Admin): I think you mean something like we see "Deer Crossing" - I'm not sure they would do that for birds. But it is something to think about and maybe bring up to them,HOeagletfan.
Magd: What I liked the most is the fact that this livestream has gone much further than just watching some eagles. It is touching human feelings and helping too many people with their problems and stress... it is just do amazing
Cairnmom: Such a wonderful place to come and feel accepted. We smile, laugh, worry and ultimately shed tears of loss when the eaglets leave but also tears of joy and the amazing life they are heading for. Again thank you
DonnaFL47: What a wonderful night with Ginnie and Andy, thank you for doing this. The questions and answers were great. As what all of us have said in the past, thank you for our eagles and also, the wonderful Mods and zoomies. This chat is absolutely a family and it's because of the Pritchetts and our treasured eagles. See you soon, SED.
The Mobile Emergency Room is a project by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, a participating artist of the Maldives Pavilion working with art formats developed around the notion of emergency.
Emergency Room is a format providing space for artists to engage in urgent debates, address societal dysfunctions and express emergencies in the now, today, before it is too late. Geoffroy’s approach allows immediate artistic intervention and displaces the contemporary to the status of delayed comment on yesterday’s world.
Taking as point of departure climate change and the Maldives, Geoffroy developed a scenario of disappearance and translated actual emergencies and hospitality needs into artistic interventions. In this context he activated his penetration format in order to transform “rigid exhibition spaces” into “elastic and generous exhibition spaces”.
An intervention facilitated by curator Christine Eyene, the Mobile Emergency Room was set up at the Zimbabwe Pavilion during the opening week of the biennale with the hospitality of commissioner Doreen Sibanda and curator Raphael Chikukwa. The first pieces presented in this room consisted in Geoffroy’s tent and an installation by Polish artist Christian Costa. Since then it has been animated online and has extended from being a space for artists expressing emergencies about climate change, to encompassing various emergency topics.
From 24 to 28 August, Geoffroy was in Venice collaborating with Danish artists Nadia Plesner, Mads Vind Ludvigsen, who created new work everyday, raising various emergencies and concerns, with a daily change of exhibition (“passage”) at 3.00 pm. For his last day in Venice, Geoffroy addressed the Syrian situation.
The work produced during this intervention is displayed until 30 September. The presentation is based on Geoffroy's concept of "Delay Museum" where art created for past emergencies is exhibited, while new work enters the Mobile Emergency Room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Emergency Room Mobile at the Zimbabwe pavilion / Venice Biennale has now been completed with some work from the The Delay Museum ,Please visit the pavilion when you go the Venice Biennale this is part of the PENETRATIONS formats ( the Zimbabwe pavilion gave hopsitality for a period of several monthes ) the displayed art works in the Delay Museum are still "boiling " as they are from last week . ( Nadia Plesner / Mads Vind Ludvigsen , COLONEL ) ( this project is a convergence with BIENNALIST / Emergency Room ) more on Christine Eyene blog as she facilated and work within ....This penetration was in connection with my participation in the Maldives pavilion " CAN A NATION WELCOME ANOTHER NATION ?"CAN EMERGENCIES BE RANKED " .Thank you also for the work by David Marin , @Guillaume Dimanche and Christian Costa

VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

Said Agha, an Afghani businessman came to see the cricket finals at the Asian Games'2010. The final was between Bangladesh(my home country) and Afghanistan, and we see him outside the stadium after the match was over, He seemed happy that Afghanistan played well and was proudly exhibiting his flag over his shoulders.
Saw him waiting for transportation to get to his destination and was quite surprised to know he wasn't able to communicate in English but his chinese was quite good. He gave us a name card, posed for the photographs and when he told him we really like the flag he was carrying, he even gave it to us as a token of memory:)
This picture is #03 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com
A carefree and generously blooming perennial for summer and early fall. Fern like leaves are gray or green and usually finely divided on three foot stems. This cultivar gets its name from the orange-red color spice of the same name, paprika. This heat and drought tolerant perennial has a fiberous root system and can become invasive. Butterflies are attracted to this plant. Good cut flower that dries well, too.
Erbacea perenne, fiori piccoli, rossi con centro giallo, in densi corimbi, da giugno a settembre, foglie verde scuro, frastagliate
The Mobile Emergency Room is a project by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, a participating artist of the Maldives Pavilion working with art formats developed around the notion of emergency.
Emergency Room is a format providing space for artists to engage in urgent debates, address societal dysfunctions and express emergencies in the now, today, before it is too late. Geoffroy’s approach allows immediate artistic intervention and displaces the contemporary to the status of delayed comment on yesterday’s world.
Taking as point of departure climate change and the Maldives, Geoffroy developed a scenario of disappearance and translated actual emergencies and hospitality needs into artistic interventions. In this context he activated his penetration format in order to transform “rigid exhibition spaces” into “elastic and generous exhibition spaces”.
An intervention facilitated by curator Christine Eyene, the Mobile Emergency Room was set up at the Zimbabwe Pavilion during the opening week of the biennale with the hospitality of commissioner Doreen Sibanda and curator Raphael Chikukwa. The first pieces presented in this room consisted in Geoffroy’s tent and an installation by Polish artist Christian Costa. Since then it has been animated online and has extended from being a space for artists expressing emergencies about climate change, to encompassing various emergency topics.
From 24 to 28 August, Geoffroy was in Venice collaborating with Danish artists Nadia Plesner, Mads Vind Ludvigsen, who created new work everyday, raising various emergencies and concerns, with a daily change of exhibition (“passage”) at 3.00 pm. For his last day in Venice, Geoffroy addressed the Syrian situation.
The work produced during this intervention is displayed until 30 September. The presentation is based on Geoffroy's concept of "Delay Museum" where art created for past emergencies is exhibited, while new work enters the Mobile Emergency Room.

The Mobile Emergency Room is a project by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, a participating artist of the Maldives Pavilion working with art formats developed around the notion of emergency.
Emergency Room is a format providing space for artists to engage in urgent debates, address societal dysfunctions and express emergencies in the now, today, before it is too late. Geoffroy’s approach allows immediate artistic intervention and displaces the contemporary to the status of delayed comment on yesterday’s world.
Taking as point of departure climate change and the Maldives, Geoffroy developed a scenario of disappearance and translated actual emergencies and hospitality needs into artistic interventions. In this context he activated his penetration format in order to transform “rigid exhibition spaces” into “elastic and generous exhibition spaces”.
An intervention facilitated by curator Christine Eyene, the Mobile Emergency Room was set up at the Zimbabwe Pavilion during the opening week of the biennale with the hospitality of commissioner Doreen Sibanda and curator Raphael Chikukwa. The first pieces presented in this room consisted in Geoffroy’s tent and an installation by Polish artist Christian Costa. Since then it has been animated online and has extended from being a space for artists expressing emergencies about climate change, to encompassing various emergency topics.
From 24 to 28 August, Geoffroy was in Venice collaborating with Danish artists Nadia Plesner, Mads Vind Ludvigsen, who created new work everyday, raising various emergencies and concerns, with a daily change of exhibition (“passage”) at 3.00 pm. For his last day in Venice, Geoffroy addressed the Syrian situation.
The work produced during this intervention is displayed until 30 September. The presentation is based on Geoffroy's concept of "Delay Museum" where art created for past emergencies is exhibited, while new work enters the Mobile Emergency Room.

VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

The Mobile Emergency Room is a project by Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, a participating artist of the Maldives Pavilion working with art formats developed around the notion of emergency.
Emergency Room is a format providing space for artists to engage in urgent debates, address societal dysfunctions and express emergencies in the now, today, before it is too late. Geoffroy’s approach allows immediate artistic intervention and displaces the contemporary to the status of delayed comment on yesterday’s world.
Taking as point of departure climate change and the Maldives, Geoffroy developed a scenario of disappearance and translated actual emergencies and hospitality needs into artistic interventions. In this context he activated his penetration format in order to transform “rigid exhibition spaces” into “elastic and generous exhibition spaces”.
An intervention facilitated by curator Christine Eyene, the Mobile Emergency Room was set up at the Zimbabwe Pavilion during the opening week of the biennale with the hospitality of commissioner Doreen Sibanda and curator Raphael Chikukwa. The first pieces presented in this room consisted in Geoffroy’s tent and an installation by Polish artist Christian Costa. Since then it has been animated online and has extended from being a space for artists expressing emergencies about climate change, to encompassing various emergency topics.
From 24 to 28 August, Geoffroy was in Venice collaborating with Danish artists Nadia Plesner, Mads Vind Ludvigsen, who created new work everyday, raising various emergencies and concerns, with a daily change of exhibition (“passage”) at 3.00 pm. For his last day in Venice, Geoffroy addressed the Syrian situation.
The work produced during this intervention is displayed until 30 September. The presentation is based on Geoffroy's concept of "Delay Museum" where art created for past emergencies is exhibited, while new work enters the Mobile Emergency Room.

VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )
