****A long story here if you have time; it's been on my mind especially in these troubled times

About ten years ago in one of my favorite Spanish classes, 12 and 13 year olds...we had a lot of fun while they were learning Spanish:).....In this class was a Muslim boy (very few minorities in our school at that time) who called himself Sam...he wanted to be like the others. Sam had a lot of medical problems from birth, was only three+ feet tall and came to class in a wheelchair, he had an aide accompanying him.

It was a delight to meet with him and his parents for conferences; wonderful people were his parents.

One day Sam and a classmate presented an unmemorized Spanish dialogue; I still remember how 6 foot Zach stooped over to read his part as Sam was holding the dialogue.

The other students treated him like anyone else...except they were unusually gentle with him.

Once a month we as a homeroom, Sam was in my noon homeroom also that year...would cross the street to a local Subway shop for lunch, a highlight for the group! Sam fretted because he did not want to wear the safety strap across the wheelchair...his aide and I had to firmly tell him it was the law. Sam pouted like a middle schooler might:)....but soon was enjoying his sandwich with his friends.

The next year, eighth grade, I didn't have Sam in class or homeroom....by this time he started going by his birth name, Hussein. I would look for him in the cafeteria or hall....noticed he wasn't doing well, an effort for him to speak...he didn't sit up straight in the wheelchair...

In the beginning of the following school year I asked Jackie, his aide, how he was doing and she said.....'He died in August', there was no notice in the newspaper, not unusual for practicing Muslims at that time and perhaps even now..... I had no idea.....I felt great sorrow and every August since then I remember Sam/Hussein.

....and so I will always remember....this unique boy who did his best and provided something special in his Spanish class and in my life too....and as well, his remarkable parents who showed much love for him....

August....x...a time also for a refreshed sense of looking for good amidst the bad today, in looking for positive solutions. My two cents worth....

I`ve been reading a book by Freeman Patterson on seeing, this is what I`ve seen so far. You can shoot landscapes only so much of the time. Time to expand.

My first outing to Point Arkwright on saturday morning with Kim, Maria & Kush. Aside from the freezing cold wind it was quite enjoyable rock hopping around the headland admiring the different textures and shapes that have been carved over time.

Not much in the way of colour due to the clouds but mother nature did provide some really nice diffused light at around 7:30am which I took advantage of once I found a decent composition. We had the run out tide and as it slowly got lower it made it a heap easier to get around the rocks. A fantastic spot on the Sunshine Coast with endless amounts of shapes & textures..."I'll Be Back"

A coastal town on Queenslands Sunshine Coast, Point Arkwright was named in honour of Sir Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the modern cotton spinning factory system and machinery. It is tied in somewhere down the line with Point Cartwright, which was named after Edmund Cartwright who developed weaving and combing equipment which compliment Arkwright's inventions. A 2 min drive from Coolum Beach which boasts Mt. Coolum & according to some it's the second largest rock in the world.

It seems as if over night the trees have leaves where there were

non yesterday.

It's my father's 88th birthday today and we are celebrating with a surprise party! A great way to kick off the first day of Spring too!

Finanicial District, Commerce Court West and Commerce Court North. Many times I have shot the beautiful smooth glass exterior of the skyscrapers downtown. Perfectly smooth, perfect reflections on the right day. I thought... what if I use this smooth exterior as my canvas, create something different and grungy. Getmy hands dirty? I blended 2 of my photographs and added layers and textures, overlays and elements and moved them around until I liked what resulted (there are about 20 layers in this composition). Each layer, each texture, each element - is a feeling, tells a story, and at the end, we fade back in time. Thanks for viewing.

In the style of PIERRE-JOSEPH REDOUTÉ (1766 – 1854).

Botanical illustration is the art of depicting the form, color, and details of plant life. The practice can be traced back to sometime between 50 and 70 CE, when an illustrated book titled De Materia Medica was created by Greek botanist Pedanius Dioscorides to help readers identify plant species for medicinal purposes. The eighteenth century saw many advances in the printing processes, allowing colors and details of drawings to appear even more accurate on paper. As interest in botanical publications increased, the role of botanical illustrator came to be considered a respected profession. (Source: mymodernmet.com/history-of-botanical-illustration/)
