Julian Lennon giving a talk in NYC at the launch event of his book of photos, "Life's Fragile Moments." It was an insightful talk. He's a talented photographer and a charming, interesting, and humble man. I'm happy to have a signed copy of his beautiful book!
Recently, much to my pleasure I met the very talented artist Shanny Lott of Austin Texas.www.shannysstudio.com/shanny.html Sort of a "chance" meeting actually. Quite a down to earth genuine person, spell that "Texas Woman" and did I say talented Artist? During the course of our conversation I happened to show her some photographs of Sunflowers I had taken the day earlier. Much to my absolute surprise she asked if she could paint this one. Which is now hanging in the dining room of August E's, www.august-es.com/ a rather upscale restaurant here in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Today was my first day to see this oil on canvas rendition of my photograph! Ecstatic would be the word to describe my feelings, having seen it first hand. Shanny... Thank You My Friend
The talented & gorgeous Ms. Ella asked me to take a shot of my iced tea and here it is. It's not a great shot but this is all that I have today.
I took last night off from flickr'ing to process some of my friend's baby photos. =) Have a nice weekend, everyone...

The Sanctuary of Truth is a magnificent temple in Pattaya, Thailand, that stands as a tribute to traditional Thai architecture and craftsmanship. The temple is entirely made of wood, with intricate carvings depicting various Hindu and Buddhist deities, as well as ancient Thai mythological figures. The construction of the Sanctuary of Truth began in 1981 and is still ongoing. The temple covers an area of over two hectares and is over 100 meters tall. It was designed by a local businessman named Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is not affiliated with any specific religion, but rather serves as a symbol of the unity of all religions and beliefs. It is a peaceful and tranquil place where visitors can reflect and appreciate the beauty of Thai culture and tradition. The Sanctuary of Truth also serves as a cultural and educational center. It hosts various workshops and events throughout the year, aimed at promoting traditional Thai arts and crafts.
The main hall of the Sanctuary of Truth is a prominent feature of this beautiful wooden structure in Pattaya, Thailand. The balcony is located on the first floor of the sanctuary and offers a nice view of the surroundings and the sea. The balcony itself is decorated with beautiful carvings and statues of mythological creatures and gods from Thai, Indian and Chinese traditions. The carvings are made by talented craftsmen who master the traditional techniques of woodworking and who have perfected the art of woodcarving to perfection. The main hall is designed as a place where visitors can admire the elaborate carvings. It also offers a chance to contemplate the complexity of the architecture and the philosophy behind the shrine. The Sanctuary of Truth is an impressive structure built as a tribute to the ancient Eastern philosophies and cultures. The main hall is just one of the many beautiful features of this shrine and a must-see for visitors visiting Pattaya.
The Sanctuary of Truth is een prachtige tempel in Pattaya, Thailand, die een eerbetoon is aan de traditionele Thaise architectuur en vakmanschap. De tempel is volledig gemaakt van hout, met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk dat verschillende hindoeïstische en boeddhistische godheden uitbeeldt, evenals oude Thaise mythologische figuren. De bouw van het Sanctuary of Truth begon in 1981 en is nog steeds aan de gang. De tempel heeft een oppervlakte van ruim twee hectare en is meer dan 100 meter hoog. Het is ontworpen door een lokale zakenman genaamd Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is niet gelieerd aan een specifieke religie, maar dient eerder als een symbool van de eenheid van alle religies en overtuigingen. Het is een vredige en rustige plek waar bezoekers de schoonheid van de Thaise cultuur en traditie kunnen overdenken en waarderen. The Sanctuary of Truth doet ook dienst als cultureel en educatief centrum. Het organiseert het hele jaar door verschillende workshops en evenementen, gericht op het promoten van traditionele Thaise kunsten en ambachten. Er is geen vastgestelde datum voor wanneer de bouw van de Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya zal worden voltooid, omdat het project voortdurend in ontwikkeling is en wordt uitgebreid met als doel om de tempel zo authentiek en gedetailleerd mogelijk te maken. Het doel van de bouwers is om de tempel over te dragen aan de volgende generatie, zodat deze kan worden voortgezet en onderhouden als een cultureel erfgoed en als een symbool van de Thaise traditionele waarden en geschiedenis. De centrale hal zelf is versierd met prachtig houtsnijwerk en beelden van mythologische wezens en goden uit de Thaise, Indiase en Chinese tradities. De houtsnijwerken zijn gemaakt door getalenteerde ambachtslieden die de traditionele technieken van houtbewerking beheersen en die de kunst van houtsnijden tot in de perfectie hebben geperfectioneerd.
If you have time to chatter
Read books
If you have time to read
Walk into mountain, desert and ocean
If you have time to walk
Sing Songs and dance
If you have time to dance
Sit quietly, you Happy Lucky Idiot

Closeup of the wonderful banjo player at Hagood Mill's Third Saturday events. I just love the look of him. He has such character, and is a very talented musician.
Talented wildlife artist Paul Hopkinson has used one of my images of a Common Seal to produce a watercolour painting. The original photograph was taken on the Isle of Arran in Scotland.
Paul began painting in oils at the age of 12 and is now a professional. His commissions vary from portraits to landscapes and animals, completed in watercolour, oils, acrylics and graphite.
You can find more of Paul's work at www.flickr.com/photos/89310089@N02/ or www.devonartist.co.uk
Not only can he scratch his head with his foot, but he can make circular ripples in the water at the same time.
Another hairdo by the talented Amara of Zero Zero, Seattle. I took this photo of myself when it was fresh, but the thing stayed up and unmoving for like, five days straight. Backcombing + cornrows = win. This style definitely makes me pine for a mohawk.
Makeup of note:
Eyeliner: 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil by Urban Decay in Electric
Shadow: MAC in Electra, Knight Divine, Tilt, Dark Soul
Skin: MAC Studio Fix compact (though the uber clear skin is the fault of Photoshop and forgetting the diffuser on my speedlight)
Lips: Glow Lover by Fantasy Makers
Hair Color: Fishbowl and Nuclear Red + Cherry Bomb (blended) by Special Effects USA
Brows: Some older-than-god blue eyeshadow by Bonne Bell that I have literally owned since the late '80s and won't ever throw away because it's magnificent
My self portraits always come out better when I do something dumb with my hands in the frame. I don't get it.
Whee!

The first group of three "Snowbirds" lift off at the 2024 Quinte Air Show.
Since 1971, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds have proudly upheld the legacy of military aviation excellence as Canada’s elite air demonstration team. In this, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Centennial year, we are proud to continue demonstrating 100 years of Royal Canadian Air Force excellence at our air displays throughout North America. The Snowbirds signature nine jet precision formation flying is made possible thanks to a highly skilled and dedicated team of pilots, technicians, mobile support equipment operators, resource management support clerks, engineers, a logistics officer, a public affairs officer and our civilian support staff. Together, the members of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds showcase the skill, professionalism and teamwork inherent in all members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are based out of 15 Wing, Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan and are composed of approximately 80 Canadian Armed Forces personnel, 30 of whom will travel to over 20 locations across Canada and the United States for the 2024 season.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly the CT-114 Tutor aircraft that was designed and built in Canada by Canadair as the Canadian Armed Forces primary jet trainer until it was replaced by the CT-155 Hawk and CT-156 Harvard II in 2000. The single General Electric J85 jet engine produces 2,700 pounds of thrust which propels the relatively light aircraft to speeds of over 400 knots. The straight wing design creates a large amount of lift and the controls are finely tuned making it a “classic sports car”- of the air. Despite its age, with the exceptional maintenance it receives from our talented team of technicians, the Tutor is the perfect platform to use as a formation aerobatic demonstration jet.

Watercolour on 140 lb. Arches Watercolour Block. I have finally finished this watercolour, and have decided to stop before I get too bogged down in detail, and lose the spontaneity. Most of this was done using the negative painting method.
Thanks for all your kind comments on the former post of this work in progress. It gave me the incentive to finish faster than I probably would have.
