"Nine"
I recall once on the church steps,
When I moved to kiss your chest,
How we paid such close attention
To each sweet and stuttered breath,
I should’ve stopped to paint our picture,
Captured honest pure affection,
Just to document the difference
between attraction and connection.
I can see all of my friends and
I break into empty buildings,
When the coast was clear,
With backpacks full of beer,
We’d throw our bottles from the rooftops
At this city-it looked endless.
Guess I still don’t see the difference
between real purpose and that urgent adolescence.
And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
With all these stranger boys and girls,
“We’ll change the world!” We sang,
“We’ll change the world!” But,
Nothing seems to change and
They say none of them will listen,
But I still see much more power in that basement
than in heartless politicians.
And if we get beaten by this winter,
If we get strangled by regret, just
Let our love of life and tension
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and
Have them lay us in a basement,
Smash some bottles on the ground, and
Say we couldn't tell the difference
between the feeling and the sound.
Remember not our faulty pieces,
Remember not our rusted parts,
It’s not the petty imperfections that define us but
The way we hold our hearts,
And the way we hold our heads,
I hope they write your names beside mine
on my gravestone when I’m dead.
And when we’re dead let our voices carry on
To find a better song.
To find a better song and sing along

I've seen signs of armadillos, and one in my yard several months back but this is the first one I've encountered walking in the woods. This was yesterday morning and it was alone. It tried to enter a hole by a stump, but when it found it wasn't getting far, turned around and came back out. Not too frightened of me but still apprehensive.
I made this quilt using this tutorial www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/2010/02/crazy-ninepatch-la...
I rearranged the blocks a bit to use all 27 on the front of the quilt.

Nine Arch Bridge, Ella, Sri Lanka.
This viaduct was built at Gotuwala between the two railway stations – Ella and Demodara during the British Colonial period is the largest in Sri Lanka. Located almost 3100 feet above the sea level, this 99.6ft high bridge is called “Ahas namaye palama” (Nine skies bridge) in Sinhala. When one stands underneath it and looks up there is a beautiful sight of ‘nine skies’ through the nine arches, hence the Sinhala name. This bridge is also called ‘The Bridge in the sky’ due to the sheer height.
This massive bridge is built entirely of solid rocks, bricks and cement without using a single piece of steel. The bridge was finally commissioned in 1921.

Moleskine nine added to the set. It felt nice to revisit the pages of my past joys, tears, love and heartaches. Journal nine half way done.
This was taken when I was a graduate student in NYC from 1969-75 or so. This is from a scan of the BW negative. I tried to lighten up the dark areas but without much success. Also I could not get rid of the moire patterns. Pressing L seems to reduce it on my screen. I am only loading this to recognize this anniversary. At this time the south tower was still under construction.
In the center is the steeple of St. Paul's Chapel, the backside of which is just across the street from the towers. It suffered no significant damage as a result of the 911 collapse of the towers and became a center for rescue and recovery workers. It is the oldest church in NYC.
St. Paul's Chapel, or "The Little Chapel That Stood", is an Episcopal chapel located at 209 Broadway, between Fulton Street and Vesey Street, in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1766, it is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan.
The rear of St. Paul's Chapel faces Church Street, opposite the east side of the World Trade Center site. After the attack on September 11, 2001, which led to the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, St. Paul's Chapel served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site.
For eight months, hundreds of volunteers worked 12-hour shifts around the clock, serving meals, making beds, counseling and praying with fire fighters, construction workers, police and others. Massage therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists and musicians also tended to their needs.
The church survived without even a broken window. Church history declares it was spared by a miracle sycamore on the northwest corner of the property that was hit by debris. The tree's root has been preserved in a bronze memorial by sculptor Steve Tobin. While the church's organ was badly damaged by smoke and dirt, the organ has been refurbished and is in use again.
The fence around the church grounds became the main spot for visitors to place impromptu memorials to the event. After it became filled with flowers, photos, teddy bears, and other paraphernalia, chapel officials decided to erect a number of panels on which visitors could add to the memorial. Estimating that only 15 would be needed in total, they eventually required 400. [Wikipedia]

Ricardo Brey (born 1955) is a child of the Cuban Revolution. He is one of the pioneer artists of Cuban New Art which began in 1891. Disillusioned by the ideals of the Cuban Revolution as corrupted by the regime of Fidel Castro, Brey participated in this key event along with many notable Cuban artists, writers and art critics.
More than twenty years after leaving Cuba, Brey was given the first retrospective of his work at the Museo Nacional Bellas Artes in Havana (2014). Belgium, Brey’s adopted country, presented the first European retrospective of his work the Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp.
This is a painting of nine birds that can be found in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Actually it's not one painting but nine small paintings - a sort of triple triptych. My plan was to ensure that each canvas could exist as an independent painting of a goldfinch, northern flicker, robin, bluejay, nuthatch, redwing blackbird, cardinal, downy woodpecker, and chickadee. I think I succeded. This project began when I received a package of small canvases from one of my daughters for Christmas a couple of years ago. 'What should I do with them?' I asked myself. I remembered a digital image that I made of nine birds and felt that it might be great fun to reproduce it as an oil painting. The project took some thought and a little organization. I began by carefully screwing each blank canvas to a large piece of varnished plywood so that the individual canvases looked like one large canvas. While I wanted my painting to resemble my digital image, I made a few alterations - like creating a maple tree instead of an oak tree. I also took my time painting the illustration, occasionally putting it aside to work on other paintings and sketches. These pauses allowed me to return to the painting with fresh eyes. Altogether it took me about 44 hours to complete this oil painting - which is twice as long as it took me to complete my initial digital image. I confess that I liked the challenge. In future, I may be tempted to continue this idea by painting other birds, or waterfowl, or perennial flowers of my region in the same fashion.

Voici une peinture représentant neuf oiseaux de la région d'Ottawa-Gatineau. En réalité, il ne s'agit pas d'une seule peinture, mais de neuf petits tableaux – une sorte de triptyque triple. Mon objectif était que chaque toile puisse exister comme une peinture indépendante représentant un chardonneret élégant, un pic flamboyant, un rouge-gorge, un geai bleu, une sittelle, un carouge à épaulettes, un cardinal, un pic mineur et une mésange. Je crois que j'ai réussit. Ce projet a débuté il y a quelques années, lorsque j'ai reçu un paquet de petites toiles de l'une de mes filles pour Noël. « Qu'en faire ?» me suis-je demandé. Je me suis souvenu d'une image numérique de neuf oiseaux que j'avais réalisée et j'ai pensé qu'il serait amusant de la reproduire à l'huile. Ce projet a demandé réflexion et organisation. J'ai commencé par visser soigneusement chaque toile vierge sur un grand morceau de contreplaqué verni afin que les toiles individuelles ressemblent à une seule grande toile. Bien que je souhaitais que ma peinture ressemble à mon image numérique, j'ai apporté quelques modifications, comme créer un érable au lieu d'un chêne. J'ai également pris mon temps pour peindre l'illustration, la mettant parfois de côté pour travailler sur d'autres peintures et croquis. Ces pauses m'ont permis de revenir sur le tableau avec un regard neuf. Au total, il m'a fallu environ 44 heures pour réaliser cette huile, soit deux fois plus de temps que mon image numérique initiale. J'avoue que le défi m'a plu. À l'avenir, je serai peut-être tenté de poursuivre cette idée en peignant d'autres oiseaux, des oiseaux aquatiques ou des fleurs vivaces de ma région de la même manière.

A Riddles 4MT 2-6-0 and another filthy loco on a dismal day at Nine Elms with bits missing. You can't tell but this was an Eastleigh loco. The type was rare in my usual haunts on the NER and ER.
The early ones had a BR2/A tender (3,500 gallons, 6 tons of coal) but a small batch of 17 of which this is an example received much larger BR1B tenders (4,725 gallons, 7 tons).
