“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

― Brené Brown

The Museum of Pop Culture. A fusion of textures and myriad colors, MoPOP’s exterior conveys all the energy and fluidity of music. Three-thousand panels, made up of 21 thousand individually cut and shaped stainless steel and painted aluminum shingles, encase the outside of the building. Their individual finishes respond to different light conditions and appear to change when viewed from different angles, reminding audiences that music and culture is constantly evolving.

I would love to capture as many of Gehry's buildings as I can.

7 Days of Shooting –

So, if you are walking about in your Jimmy Choo’s this is the week for you! Let’s see the differing footwear that we all have ~ big shoes, small shoes, baby shoes, wooden clogs or whatever this is the week of footwear! These “boots are made for walking” stomp, stomp!!

However, don’’t forget that socks and slippers and even those toe rings that some wear are acceptable for our Theme.

Well, it rained again!! Most of the morning we had some heavy showers albeit it didn't spoil my round of golf and then the sun came out this afternoon!

Yet another expresive animal from the Biltmore. I'm not sure what they are putting in the food at this place but the animals seem very happy!

With the texture by myself.

Daisy testing her new wave-shaped scratching post a while ago - it looks a lot scruffier now! (I hope you can see it's curved, but Daisy is hiding part of it.)

Taken this summer in Southampton ON and pulled from the archives for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday

Decreased saturation and brightness, added 2 layers of kk_BB2, one in Multiply and one in Soft light blending mode, both at 42% opacity. This weather has me missing the flowers and the bees! Minus 22 degrees Celcius yesterday and a good 8 inches of snow overnight. Oh well…guess I will have to stay indoors and play with photos! :)

A cowboy hat flew by on the wind,

And I started thinking, where it had been.

Did it come from the desert hot and dry,

Or from the mountains, high in the sky.

Was it Vikings hat, or maybe Copperhorse?

Maybe on the duke's head, it had been.

Was it a bad guy's like Docbarstetson,

I thought of this as it flew aloft.

Or was it Cowgirls hat that just flew by,

It was a western hat, that I couldn't deny.

It was dumped in the street, by the wind,

And lay there forlorn, like it needed a friend.

I picked it up, and put it on my head,

And it fit perfect, and I was glad.

Next time I'll tie it around my chin,

So this darned hat, won't fly off again.

Sculpted by Pat Moseley, this piece celebrates the life of a woman who was a champion of women's rights during a time when women had very few rights.

Interestingly, Mary Lee didn't come to Adelaide until 1879 when she was already in her late 50's. She originally came here to nurse her son who was ill but after his death, Mary and her daughter couldn't afford to sail back to Ireland and ended up staying. Mary dedicated the last 30 years of her life to improving the social and political rights for women in South Australia.

She was instrumental in fighting and winning the vote for women in SA and was an outspoken objector to Australia's involvement in the Boer War. In 1883 she joined the Social Purity Society and helped work towards the raising of the age of consent from 13 to 16 -hard to believe the age of consent was ever 13!!!. In 1888 she established the Women's Suffrage League of South Australia and remained Secretary until women won the right to vote in December 1894.

Mary Lee lived an amazing life that was dedicated to the betterment of the lives of others

There aren't many flowers around at the moment after the hot dry summer we had but the Coleus are showing that they appreciate the rain and the cooler weather by putting on lots of growth and flower spikes.

Kailey is comfortably asleep under my desk. I will find a way to get some work done without ejecting her.

Daily Dog Challenge: 1337. "Your Favorite Color" Take a photo of your dog today that includes something (or things) that are in your favorite color. Don't forget to have fun and tell us what the color is! (My favorite colors are the colors of wood. Almost all wood is beautiful to my eye; the less treatment the better.) OH, and of course, the colors of poodles.
