The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

I think that the long head feathers on this American white pelican, distinguish him as an older gentleman. He still has a mating bump on the bill on top of his pouch. That'll fade away in a few weeks, when the mating season end.
Surprising to me, we I've never seen white pelican mating and/or nesting at Cherry Creek Reservoir, although we have a colony of pelicans every year.
AO MESTRE COM CARINHO/TEACHERS WITH AFFECTION!
Queridos Mestres!
Obrigada por fazerem do aprendizado não um trabalho, mas um contentamento...
Por fazerem com que nos sentíssemos pessoas de valor; por nos ajudarem a descobrir o que fazer de melhor e, assim, fazê-lo cada vez melhor. Obrigado por afastarem o medo das coisas que pudéssemos não compreender; levando-nos, por fim, a compreendê-las...
Por resolverem o que achávamos complicados...
Por serem pessoas dignas de nossa total confiança e a quem podemos recorrer quando a vida se mostrar difícil...
Obrigado por nos convencerem de que éramos melhores do que suspeitávamos.
Eu serei sempre sua fã na escola da vida.
Obrigada, professor!
O Dia do Professor é comemorado no dia 15 de outubro. Mas poucos sabem como e quando surgiu este costume no Brasil.
No dia 15 de outubro de 1827 (dia consagrado à educadora Santa Tereza D’Ávila), D. Pedro I baixou um Decreto Imperial que criou o Ensino Elementar no Brasil. Pelo decreto, “todas as cidades, vilas e lugarejos tivessem suas escolas de primeiras letras”. Esse decreto falava de bastante coisa: descentralização do ensino, o salário dos professores, as matérias básicas que todos os alunos deveriam aprender e até como os professores deveriam ser contratados. A idéia, inovadora e revolucionária, teria sido ótima - caso tivesse sido cumprida.
Mas foi somente em 1947, 120 anos após o referido decreto, que ocorreu a primeira comemoração de um dia dedicado ao Professor.
Começou em São Paulo, em uma pequena escola no número 1520 da Rua Augusta, onde existia o Ginásio Caetano de Campos, conhecido como “Caetaninho”. O longo período letivo do segundo semestre ia de 01 de junho a 15 de dezembro, com apenas 10 dias de férias em todo este período. Quatro professores tiveram a idéia de organizar um dia de parada para se evitar a estafa – e também de congraçamento e análise de rumos para o restante do ano.
O professor Salomão Becker sugeriu que o encontro se desse no dia de 15 de outubro, data em que, na sua cidade natal, professores e alunos traziam doces de casa para uma pequena confraternização. Com os professores Alfredo Gomes, Antônio Pereira e Claudino Busko, a idéia estava lançada, para depois crescer e implantar-se por todo o Brasil.
A celebração, que se mostrou um sucesso, espalhou-se pela cidade e pelo país nos anos seguintes, até ser oficializada nacionalmente como feriado escolar pelo Decreto Federal 52.682, de 14 de outubro de 1963. O Decreto definia a essência e razão do feriado: "Para comemorar condignamente o Dia do Professor, os estabelecimentos de ensino farão promover solenidades, em que se enalteça a função do mestre na sociedade moderna, fazendo participar os alunos e as famílias".
Dia do Professor em outros países:
Estados Unidos: National Teacher Day - na terça-feira da primeira semana completa de Maio.//
World Teachers’ Day - UNESCO e diversos países - 5 de Outubro//Tailândia - 16 de Janeiro//
Índia - 5 de Setembro//China - 10 de Setembro//México - 15 de Maio//Taiwan - 28 de Setembro//

The Harry Potter CMF Series 2 has some great minifigs, with some even better accessories. Professor Pomona Sprout is not one of those.
The figure itself is a nice update on the 2011 minifig, but the Screaming Mandrake she's holding, is not the one she is packaged with. (It's the one from the last series that came with Neville; Who's getting a catch-up lesson today, because Pomona is an awesome teacher like that)
Instead, the Pomona minifig includes a printed 1x1 round brick, two of the green plant stems, and whilst she has a wand, she doesn't have a handle for her cauldron.
As AFOLs, we've come to expect a lot from the CMF minifigures, so those little omissions count for a lot. It means this is one for completionists only.
Because for the Hogwarts fans,
with the ever expanding range of Hogwarts classrooms, it's only a matter of time till we get a Herbology Classroom, and an updated Professor Pomona, which means it might be worth holding on.
I took a Night Photography class sponsored by Desert Botanical Garden and taught by Ryan Parra - a photography professor at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I learned a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel that I had improved significantly by the end of the class. One big problem with classes like this is keeping other photographers out of the frame.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

for making realize that my childhood fantasies of railroads and my addiction to photography and adventure are a match made in heaven!
thank you Professor!

I know it looks like Monument Valley - but its the much less well known Professor Valley near Moab, Utah.
John Ford filmed the movie Rio Grande here, and its the site of several dozen films over the years - including the upcoming release of The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp.

Run by water and solar power, this is the 2nd Trash Wheel put into service in Baltimore (there are three now.) She collects trash that flows into the harbor from the Harris Creek.
I spent a morning picking through trash picked up by one of these machines. The amount and variety of crap they gather is amazing and depressing.
"39. Environmental trash"
A street performer who professed to be a music teacher at one time. He called himself, 'The Professor'.
May I introduce: Prof. Rauz.
His work is one of the most comprehensive in the history of science. He also explores the most remote areas of all disciplines in a thoroughgoing manner, which is rarely found. Profound, he goes to the bottom of things - an 'old school' scientist.
Many of his countless works cover over 100 volumes ...
What an exceptional researcher!
"The professor's experimentation finally payed off, when his clones came to life after he infused them with the meteorite extract he obtained from the island. Even though their fleshy lifespan was short, they where obedient and destructive. Soon the unstoppable clone army ravaged the lands..."
This was a long overdue project I fiannly finished. I shot Coen in summer 2012 and have been working on this image ever since, cutting out poses and compositing them. I started with a square composite, and it just didn't sit right, nothing I did made the composition better. Then I decided to stretch the image to a wide version and everything fell into place. This will be part of my superhero/villains series I'm building

M81-M82
Hi folks, Professor Clancy here to explain in some detail this photo Dad took a couple of years ago of Messier objects M81 (right) and M82 (Charles Messier was a French astronomer who published a catalogue of 110 nebulae and star clusters in 1781. He also discovered 13 comets.)
M81 and M82 galaxies are part of the M81 Group, a group of 34 galaxies in Ursa Major and Camelopardalis constellations. Due to their distance of approximately 12M light years from Earth, this group, together with the Local Group (containing the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy) are relative neighbors in the Virgo Supercluster. This Supercluster contains about 100 galaxy groups and clusters, and is one of about 10 million superclusters in the observable universe.
M81 is the largest (spiral) galaxy in the M81 Group and contains about 250 billion stars, roughly the same as our Milky Way, though it is estimated to be slightly smaller in diameter at around 90,000 light years across. This means it takes light photons, travelling at about 300,000 km/s (186,000 mi/s), 90,000 years to travel from one edge to the other.
M82 is seen nearly edge-on, and is an irregular galaxy with two recently discovered faint spiral arms. It is the closest starburst galaxy to us and about 5 times more luminous than the Milky Way due to it's gravitational interaction with M82. Hubble has revealed at least 197 massive young star clusters in it's energetic core, and Dad's photo reveals some of that incredible radiating activity, where stars are being born ten times faster than in our own galactic core.
Google Hubble M81-M82 for some truly spectacular photos of this great pair of galaxies, and party on, universe!
I meet this guy in Whitby. A very pleasant man he was. He very kindly let me take his photograph. He even smiled for me. :)

ZOERSEL - Mariëtte Coppens (82), partner van wijlen beeldhouwer Pol Van Esbroeck, maakte een mooi beeld van Anne Frank voor het gelijknamige huis in Amsterdam.
Het bronzen beeld kreeg een plekje in de tuin van het Achterhuis in Amsterdam. “Daar staat het op zijn plaats. In openlucht. De lucht waar Anne Frank zo naar hunkerde”, vertelt Diana Coppens, dochter van Mariëtte.
De inhuldiging in Amsterdam gebeurde in intieme kring. Mariëtte Coppens, haar dochters Mieke en Diana en schepen van Cultuur Katrien Schryvers (CD&V) waren erbij vanuit Zoersel. Die delegatie werd vervolledigd door professor André Verhoeven, op wiens verzoek Mariette Coppens het beeld maakte.
Prof. Zthort makes his way through the narrow streets of Arkham. His "distinctive" facial features, he would proudly boast to newcomers, were the result of his early alchemy experiments. Wrinkled, prune-like skin and glowing amber eyes probably the result of too much noxious effluvium.
And of course his beloved hip flask, of which he was never seen without, reeked not of alcohol but some foul-smelling ooze. The professor claimed it was his own particular catholicon and most were too scared to enquire further on the matter.
I've used that head and hair combo before on a ghost figure, I keep returning to it for some reason. It just looks so...wicked. He deserves a better vignette but it's all low effort today so that's that.
