In mid-July, my husband's veggie garden is still in pretty good shape. Later on, the weeds will get the upper hand [and I will be laboring in gardens of my own]. Squash and potatoes have their own garden, since they take up so much space.
Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

I see his dreams coming true.
IN THE FUTURE is the topic for Tuesday April 12th, 2011
Looks best viewed Large :)
in the last several months I've been seeking inspiration in other various forms of art such as performance art, fashion and costume design, and dance to name a few. my friend Ken suggested I write down this name: Pina Bausch. You should too. I found a copy of the film Pina by Wim Wenders at the library and was amazed at what I saw. an incredible blend of theater and modern dance. I was inspired to create this image based on one of the pieces from the film where many chairs were being stacked and also crawled through at the same time. I was very taken by the form of everything and that at any moment the chairs could come tumbling down...
Dance, dance... otherwise we are lost.

This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.
Stary Cmentarz w Łodzi - the Old Cemetery in Łódź
With the growing number of textile plants in Lodz in the 19th century, accompanied by rapid growth of the city and the number of its inhabitants, the city authorities were forced to open a new cemetery in 1856. The old Christian necropolis around the wooden St. Joseph church between Ogrodowa, Zachodnia, Legionów and Gdańska Streets could no longer accommodate new graves. The site of the new cemetery was a large plot of land in the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the opposite side of Ogrodowa Street and extending to the West towards the Mania settlement. It consisted of three parts, each for a different Christian denomination: Catholic, Evangelical-Augsburg and Orthodox. The latter separated the east Catholic part from the west Evangelical section of the cemetery. Currently, the necropolis is one of the most frequented places in Lodz, not only for sentimental reasons but also due to its historical and artistic value. The Old Cemetery in Lodz, as it is popularly called by the inhabitants of the "City by the Boat" (Lodz is the Polish word for boat), often compared to the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw, is a real treasure of sepulchral monuments.
Among hundreds of tombs and gravestones, particularly beautiful are those from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and from the first two decades of the 20th century, such as the excellently renovated grave of Zofia Biedermann or the tomb of the Grobman family or of Henryk Feder. Among other precious tombs, of particular interest are the tomb chapels of Juliusz Heinzl and Juliusz Kuntzer and the pyramide-shaped tomb of the Heiman-Jarecki family, heroes of the Polish-Soviet war, or the Neo-Byzantine chapel of the Gojrzewski family in the Orthodox part of the cemetery. A true masterpiece and the most popular monument of the Old Cemetery is the Karl Scheibler's Neo-Gothic chapel-mausoleum considered to be the most beautiful product of the Polish Neo-Gothic. It has been gradually renovated for a number of years now, mainly using funds raised by the Foundation for Rescuing Karl Scheibler's Chapel. On 1st November each year, the Old Cemetery Preservation Society raises funds for renovating the monuments of the necropolis.
In Tschechien haben viele ehemals Deutsche Triebwagen der Baureihe 628 eine neue Heimat gefunden. Ausgestattet mit Steckdosen, Infobildschirmen und Wlan macht man es bei unserem Nachbar vor, wie eine Modernisierung von Altfahrzeugen aussehen kann. Unter der Flagge von Arriva dieselte 845 305 am 11. April 2024 als R 1209 durch die Kurvige Böhmische Schweiz von Rumburk nach Kolín und erreicht in Kürze den Haltepunkt Svor.
Crafted in wooden cladding, this was the first monument to be place in the Arboretum. It is a tribute to the 49th Infantry West Riding Division and was dedicated on 7th June 1998. It is 9ft long and 5ft high, created by the Essex Woodcarvers and took a year to carve.
Inside the bear is a time capsule containing the names of all the Members of the 49th Division who did not come home, together with relevant documents and letters.
One of four images of Monarch Butterflies feeding on Zinnias in the garden at historic Pruyn House in Latham, New York, USA. I visited on September 7, 2025 & was delighted to see the bee & butterfly activity! It was the first time I had seen Monarchs this season. And--what do you know?--they seem to enjoy my new favorite flower!
TaProhm Temple is one that all tourists have to visit when in Angwor Wat, Cambodia due to its fame as the setting of Tomb Raider. The giant banyan trees are taking over the ruins, though they are now being managed in order to avoid further damage to the temple. One giant tree that was threatening to knock down an entire wall was removed.
I stood here for quite a while waiting for all the tourists to clear out of the way, but that never happened. So I used the magic of Photoshop to "vamoose" them. I decided to leave the lone photographer there since she does add scale to help you see how giant the tree is !

#mood for Winter:
I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home

Bombus (Bombo - Bumblebee)
I bombi sono caratterizzati da una livrea gialla e nera a bande, anche se ne esistono delle specie tutte nere o con delle bande arancioni, sono generalmente più grossi e pelosi delle comuni api ed hanno, generalmente, le bande di colore più larghe.
La principale caratteristica di questi imenotteri è senz'altro la soffice peluria che li ricopre e che li fa apparire piuttosto pelosi.
I bombi sono poco aggressivi; le regine e le operaie sono in grado però di pungere ed il loro pungiglione, non avendo seghettatura, permette loro di pungere anche più di una volta a differenza delle api comuni.
I bombi sono insetti sociali che vivono in piccole colonie, formate da pochi esemplari, che non sopravvivono generalmente all'inverno. Gli unici esemplari che sopravvivono all'inverno sono le femmine fecondate che dopo la morte della colonia, cercheranno un luogo riparato dove trascorrere i rigori della stagione invernale. In primavera la femmina fecondata si sveglierà dal letargo e cercherà subito dei fiori per rifocillarsi e cominciare a creare la nuova colonia. In genere si tratta di piccole cavità nel terreno o negli alberi come tane abbandonate, tronchi di alberi cavi, fessure tra muri di pietra, ecc… La femmina provvederà a costruire una piccola cella di cera dalla caratteristica forma ad anfora nella quale depositerà alcune uova e che riempirà di cibo. Queste prime uova danno origine a femmine sterili che si occuperanno, come operaie, della raccolta di cibo per la colonia e di aiutare la madre nella costruzione di nuove celle. A partire dalla metà dell'estate compaiono le prime femmine in grado di riprodursi, queste deporranno uova non fecondate che danno origine ai maschi. I maschi feconderanno le nuove femmine nate alla fine dell'estate e che andranno a sviluppare la nuova colonia l'anno successivo.
Questa sarà una femmina appena risvegliata dal letargo?

While in Boston, I visited the beautiful New England Aquarium which was full of jellyfish..they have the best jellyfish exhibit I have ever seen, and I have been to quite a few aquariums.. I tried various shots and angles, but as you know, its hard to get a great aquarium shot while shooting thru thick glass..I tried the "remote sb-600 flash angled down" technique" .. I tried it off the camera and on the camera, and I liked the on the camera effect the best..I then post processed this with photomatix, a single raw image tone mapped (pseudo-hdr) ..I liked the effect.. check the black and white version here: www.flickr.com/photos/joeyfoto/3175560238/

In remembrance of the fallen, wounded and those who served for their countries. Unable to get out today to pay my respects I captured this tightly framed shot on Armed Forces Day in the summer, the side of a Willys Jeep that saw action for the 101st Airborne 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment on D-Day in Normandy. Photographed in George Square, Glasgow and making a poignant composition of the medical aid cross. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
Added some semi-customs to the store. These are the current in stock shades I dyed up before we moved.

A semi-shaved look will be up later in the week as well as a couple of variations and short style boy-cut too.
The turnaround time is a little slow while we catch up on commissions but since we will be working on wigs full time, its going to be a lot quicker in future c:
