I surrendered to the call of the snow in the mountains to come out and get a photo or two. The clouds kept me out.

 

It appears school may be back in session.

These sunflowers caused me to pull over on the side of the highway and take pictures. I think it's because of the staring flower in the next photo.

A piece about letting go and surrendering to the messiness of life. by ginger deverell, 2012. Mixed media on cradled wood panel. Collaged with type, paper, ink and paint.

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!

 

I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!

“Unconditional Surrender,” a 25-foot, 6,000 pound statue by artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo. The statue is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.

Jesse bought me an excellent present on Duvall Street!

Iron Ore Smelting Mill in Swaledale.

I won a jelly roll of the block fabrics in a giveway so I made a quilt out of them, semi-crazy stitched it, and then gave it away on my blog.

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square

V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])

Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):

 

U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
