Guanyin of the Southern Sea.
Represented as "Kuan-Yin of the southern seas," the Chinese Buddhist deity of compassion and mercy is seated in a variation of the pose of royal ease (Maharajalila) on a base imitating a craggy rock.
The artist tries to capture some essential part of what he or she senses in life, thereby creating a work of art. Going the lengths to prepare for that task or to experience the event leads to choices that change the course of life. The experience of consuming a work of art, whether visual, audible, or tactile, can leave an individual profoundly changed, and in that case the artistic process has affected a change in life itself. #Wolf #Caribou
Tank, posing just like the bulldog pillow next to him. I love that pillow. I have to keep an eye on that pillow as Faith my boxer yearling seems to think it's part of her chew toy collection.
Tank is so naturally funny. He's the funniest of my three dogs. He looks so clean here cuz he just got a bath. =)

Northern Mockingbird
From Birder from Maricopa:
Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos)
This well known bird is common and widespread in North America in the Lower 48. True to it's name, the Northern Mockingbird is an impressive mocker. It imitates the songs of endless other birds, as well as other animals and a variety of other sounds. This awesome songster commonly sings at night also. Birders could keep a "life list" of the birds and other sounds the Northern Mockingbird imitates. Northern Mockingbirds are found in a variety of habitats in their range, which are mainly open areas such as fields, lawns, suburban areas, deserts, etc. They have a diet of a variety of foods, most commonly being fruits and insects. Mockingbirds are also very defensive and aggressive of their nest, and relentlessly defend the nest against any intruders. Intruders include other birds, cats, and even people.
Northern Mockingbirds are permanent residents in Arizona and throughout most of their range. In Maricopa County, they are easily found in the city in parks, neighborhoods, and lawns. This species has adapted to live close to people. They are easily found in natural habitats too, such as open fields, deserts, and open foothills.

It would have imitated even better but I weirded myself out while waiting for the right thing to happen. I managed to get just two candidates, this is the better one.
This little cabin looks like it takes its design queues from the surrounding nature. It seems to blend in harmoniously with the landscape. Perhaps intentional or just coincidence, whichever the result makes for a great photo op.

I am re-creating in full, wearable scale the Italian renaissance outfit worn by the quarter-size figurine of Juan Borgia, originally created by world famous George Stuart for his series of Historic Figures, prominently displayed in a special wing of the Ventura Museum of Art. I will wear the costume and be the poster boy for the upcoming Ventura Carnevale, to be held February 10 through 12 in Ventura. A full scale Venetian style affair of grandiose proportions. Promotional events will start this September with renaissance fashion shows and other activities.
Will you still love me if I dye my beard red?

He says, "Good boy, Bobby," "Hi, Bobby," and "Goodbye." But, when he imitates a human laugh, his human guests laugh along with him!

life imitating art today because i'm sick as a dog with wild flu like symptoms. I've been bed bound for most of the day but as they say "the show must go on" .
I found this Cooper's Hawk watching over the pond. There were some Ducks and Egrets in the water so I'm guessing this Hawk was trying to blend in by perching on one leg. Yep, lookin' just like an Snowy Egret, you master of disguise! Not that good of a photo but I don't see that many Hawks using just one leg, especially on a hot day.
Thank you for taking the time to view my images. Any faves and comments are deeply appreciated!
