St. Bavo Church, Haarlem, The Netherlands.
The organ of the Sint-Bavokerk (the Christiaan Müller organ) is one of the world's most historically important organs. It was built by the Amsterdam organ builder Christian Müller, with stucco decorations by the Amsterdam artist Jan van Logteren, between 1735 and 1738. Upon completion it was the largest organ in the world with 60 voices and 32-foot pedal-towers. In Moby-Dick (1851), Herman Melville describes the inside of a whale's mouth:
"Seeing all these colonnades of bone so methodically ranged about, would you not think you were inside of the great Haarlem organ, and gazing upon its thousand pipes?"
Many famous musicians played this organ, including Mendelssohn, Händel and the 10-year-old Mozart, who played it in 1766.
Happy Easter Friends!! :) And can I just say that I got this cool wood bowl from Good Will...it is so cool for food photography. Don't spend a lot of money on props. Go to consignment shops, flea markets, and dollar stores. It's amazing what you will find! You don't need to spend a lot of money to get good pics- just save that money for your dream lenses <3

Cat Bus from "Tonari no Totoro"

I always thought Cat bus would look good as ground pork and eggs....
This came out pretty sloppy due to the ingredients and was hard to work with, but the end result was tasty and that's all that really matters to me ^_^

A shattered glass window, covered with algae, forms abstract patterns. Gives off a vibe that reminds me of a work by Gustav Klimt, me thinks.... Seen at an abandoned shopfront in western Ireland.

I like the contrast of the organic shapes of the tree and the rigid geometry of the human constructions.
I stopped eating strawberries for many years because they didn't taste sweet, but then I discovered that organic strawberries actually taste good!
She rests in an organic bath, untouched by the chaos of modern life. A playful take on society’s pursuit of health, relaxation, and nature in an often artificial world.
I always use organic ingredients and the best quality I can find. I never really measure or follow recipes when I cook, but here it is "the best I can remember" RECIPE:
Base:
About 150g melted raw grass-fed butter
About 150g organic raw coconut cream/coconut butter
about 2 tablespoons of unrefined organic raw coconut oil
About 400g of shreded walnuts
About 5 tablespoons of sprouted raw crunchy almond butter
Look for soft but not liquid consistency and add less or more walnuts to achieve that.
Put in the fridge to harden
Middle layer:
About 150g melted raw grass-fed butter
About 150g organic raw coconut cream/coconut butter
about 2 tablespoons of unrefined organic raw coconut oil
Zest of 3 organic lemons
Lemon juice of 2 organic lemons
1/2 teaspoon of stevia powder
Pour over hardened base layer and put in the fridge again
Top layer:
About 150g melted raw grass-fed butter
About 150g organic raw coconut cream/coconut butter
about 2 tablespoons of unrefined organic raw coconut oil
Lemon juice of 1 organic lemon
A teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of organic blueberries/red currants /blackberries/ raspberries/strawberries or any combination thereof.
Put over the middle layer and place in the fridge to harden
Pull out of the fridge about 15 minutes before you are ready to cut the pieces and serve..
Organic material along the shore of Mono Lake, not the alkali flies!
On the other hand, the alkali flies are definitely dinner for California gulls and other nesting and migrating birds at Mono Lake.
Fortunately alkali flies are not house flies. They have no interest in us.
A few years ago, Allison and I weren't really thrilled with how we were eating and how it impacted how we felt.
So we started eating more salads, more fruits and vegetables. More real food instead of processed. And noticed a difference.
We reached a plateau for a couple of years and are now in the process of taking the next step. We are more about making slow, incremental changes over time rather than major changes in one day.
For this next round, we are focusing on three areas. One, sugar intake. Two, chemical intake. Three, organic food.
We ran a survey this past weekend. We shop for groceries at two sister stores. The first is a discounted chain and the second is a little higher priced. We walked through both stores and wrote down the price of both organic and non-organic foods at each of the stores.
On average - we found that a fruit or vegetable costs about $0.75 to upgrade from non-organic to organic. Since we average 12 or so fruits and vegetables each week: our net add to go to organic will be $9 a week.
If that cost is too big, I would suggest only buying organic based on the Dirty Dozen List. These are the top 12 fruits and vegetables that have the most pesticide residue and therefore are the most important to buy organic. Buying four items on this list would add $3 to your trip and would be a small incremental change. :)
Happy, safe and healthy Friday to you my friend.

Casa Batlló, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Back to my Barcelona trip now, it feels such a long time ago now when I went. Such a great place and lots to do. Out of the Gaudi houses that I visited, this was by far my favourite, wouldn't it be great to have a room like this in your house?
Believe it or not but I waited for 30 minutes to get this image as there just seemed to be a continual stream of people coming through this room but my patience paid off and this is what I got. I decided to go for the low key feel on this image, really helped show all the shadows and bright parts of the room. I also tried a square crop but I felt that the image was not as 'punchy' and effective so went with the original crop which I hope you all like.

Information
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə βəʎˈʎo]) is a renowned building located in the heart of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. Casa Batlló is a remodel of a previously built house. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Casa Batlló evokes the creativity and playfulness of Gaudí’s work through the incracite facades and creative floors. Gaudí's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudí designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.
It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.
