What's a photograph you've wanted to make for a while but haven't for some reason? Make it today. ds 649. This isn't the photo I wanted to take, cause I didn't see the 6' rattlesnake I know lives along my bike route. Nor did I see one of the bears that roam our woods. And the 10 or so Blue Jays would not pose. So this must do.
Sunny and 70s. Yes I'm busy but took my lunch on a skate park. Local skate shop worker Mark does a few stunts. Lots of air on this ollie.

The number of local breweries is rising by the minute. Particularly for beer you really do not have to look beyond the (Dutch) border anymore. Sorry, but Heineken, as many other big brands, taste like water from a ditch. They all have a tendency to sweeten their beers.
Amsterdam now has 19 small and micro breweries. The Hague has 8 and Rotterdam 4. Breweries like "De Kompaan" in The Hague and "Kaapse Brouwers" in Rotterdam, they do not brew traditional (sweetened) beers like blondes, radler's or triples. No Sir! I repeat: NO SIR! They produce proper beers, like Indian Pale Ales, tough red ale and vicious bitters. Or beers that have aged in old whiskey, cognac and wine barrels. Non-conformist and straight from the heart. Brewed with passion. Names like Kaapse Karel, Kaapse Koos, Vrijbuiter, Bondgenoot and Kameraad speak for themselves.
Each of these beers tells you an unique story while you drink it. No mantra as Heineken will do for you. So, why wait...go to Rotterdam or The Hague and have yourself a nice cold story! And blow the froth off a coupe... Cheers!

This morning on CBC Victoria, they announced a contest to win tickets
to Feast of the
Fields : tell them what you would cook as a local food dish. As I
thought about what I could enter in the contest to win the tickets, I
was cooking breakfast and mulling over whether to enter a recipe
using some of Tom Henry's pork or my chickens or Lorea Tomsin's lamb...
Then I realized that my breakfast is mostly local. So here it is.
Tom Henry's Metchosin bacon, peaches from a friend's backyard,
tomatoes from Metchosinite Dieter Eisenhawer, onion bread made by
Langford baker and friend, Ray Drone, my eggs: left a chicken egg and
right a guinea fowl egg and coffee from (!) Saltspring Island coffee
company with cream from Vancouver Island's Avalon Dairy! If I'd
chosen my other loaf of bread, from the Roost in Saanich, even the
wheat would have been local!!
My food is the essence of "eating local": not a special dish or a one
time meal, just about everything.
PS. I didn't win, so I guess they wanted a real recipe...;-((
we have a little shop, i would call it a curiosity shop, the owner always has weird and wonderful old things ...this wooden carved little seat caught my eye this time
I saw him a few weeks ago in Hampton, at Ancient Art Tattoos, getting a tribal tattoo on his right arm and shoulder.
It is only a short run back to Yijing for this loaded train at the Erjing mine on the Meihekou coal railway.

When you haven't got a sunhat, just cut a head-hole in a sheet of cardboard! Cheers, Uwani! Like your style. :-)
The son of a tanner, Avery began working at a local factory at the age of 16 and supported himself for decades with a succession of blue-collar jobs. The death of his brother-in-law in 1915 left Avery, as the sole remaining adult male in his household, responsible for the support of nine female relatives. His interest in art led him to attend classes at the Connecticut League of Art Students in Hartford, and over a period of years, he painted in obscurity while receiving a conservative art education. In 1917, he began working night jobs in order to paint in the daytime.
In 1924, he met Sally Michel, a young art student, and in 1926, they married; her income as an illustrator enabled him to devote himself more fully to painting. For several years in the late 1920s through the late 1930s, Avery practiced painting and drawing at the Art Students League of New York. Roy Neuberger saw his work and thought he deserved recognition. Determined to get the world to know and respect Avery's work, Neuberger bought over 100 of his paintings, starting with Gaspé Landscape, and lent or donated them to museums all over the world. With the work of Milton Avery rotating through high-profile museums, he came to be a highly respected and successful painter.
Avery's work is seminal to American abstract painting—while his work is clearly representational, it focuses on color relations and is not concerned with creating the illusion of depth as most conventional Western painting since the Renaissance has. Avery was often thought of as an American Matisse, especially because of his colorful and innovative landscape paintings. His poetic, bold and creative use of drawing and color set him apart from more conventional painting of his era. Early in his career, his work was considered too radical for being too abstract; when Abstract Expressionism became dominant his work was overlooked, as being too representational.
French Fauvism and German Expressionism influenced the style of Avery's early work, and his paintings from the 1930s are similar to those of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. By the 1940s, Avery’s painting style had become more similar to Henri Matisse, and his later works use color with great subtlety.
In the 1930s, he was befriended by Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko among many other artists living in New York City in the 1930s–40s. It was Rothko who wrote perhaps the most vivid summation of Avery's art, quoted below.
The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., was the first museum to purchase one of Avery's paintings in 1929; that museum also gave him his first solo museum exhibition in 1944. Avery was a man of few words. "Why talk when you can paint?" he often quipped to his wife. Their daughter, March Avery, is also a painter.
According to Mark Rothko, What was Avery's repertoire? His living room, Central park, his wife Sally, his daughter March, the beaches and mountains where they summered; cows, fish heads, the flight of birds; his friends and whatever world strayed through his studio: a domestic, unheroic cast. But from these there have been fashioned great canvases, that far from the casual and transitory implications of the subjects, have always a gripping lyricism, and often achieve the permanence and monumentality of Egypt.
Art critic Hilton Kramer said, He was, without question, our greatest colorist.... Among his European contemporaries, only Matisse—to whose art he owed much, of course—produced a greater achievement in this respect."
