I don't think I even have to tell you who inspired this card! www.flickr.com/photos/bearpaw14/3379541185/
I am a longtime admirer of Lin's wonderful work. Her quilting background shows in the precision, color selection and design of her cards. I have run out of superlatives to leave in the comments section of her entries. I am thrilled she will enjoy a day on the blog! I don't know how her work can be any more beautiful than it is. I didn't know what card to select for my specific inspiration, I just knew this morning that I needed to start cutting out flowers! So, here they are: flowers, some gingham, flourishes, white embossing, a cut out circle and a lilttle birdie! Here's to you, Lin, and thanks for all you share with us!
Think this pair of earrings show I was in a romantic mood today. :)
They are perfect for a winter bride; lush and romantic. Beautiful with a strapless dress.
I think I found out about this through IGN. I got so insanely excited. Not only because of the prank calls to Pawn Busters of people trying to sell "vintage" copies of the game. This was the Dark Souls of the NES era. The great thing about this record is the music is not redone or anything. It's pure 8-bit greatness. I got halfway through but I had to use an emulator and quick save/load points. Took me a while to remember how to get through the 3rd level. When the things are in the middle, you have to jump. Just a tip. Ha! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sluYD0Hr3og

I think this little gem fits nicely in my Hidden Dorset set. It is the old mill at the village of Melbury Abbas and it is relatively unknown because despite the fact that the village is on a 'rat run' for lots of traffic travelling north through Dorset, no one ever stops there.........except me of course when I am walking ;-)! If people did stop there, they would find quite a lot of interest there - mind you, I am interested in quirky things :)!
The mill itself is actually the smaller building on the left and it still has the water wheel attached - there are more pictures below. It is now in private ownership.
i think this cart is from Shoppers Food Warehouse. Its funny how they ended up putting tape over the logos. shoppers is in a different shopping center than kmart
You would think this was photographed on a reflective surface, and, sorry, you’d be wrong, these are actually two beautiful Peony blooms.
The peony is named after Paeon, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing.
When Asclepius became jealous of his pupil, Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

"'Think simple' as my old master used to say.

Shell, as found on the rivershore
IJssel, Deventer
I think it has been a while since I posted a photo with a green background, so when I was trying to find my "daily three" for today, this image caught my eye. We have been thinking "spring" for some time already, because our weather has been so mild this winter. The temperature is supposed to get up to 15C this afternoon and 16C tomorrow! However, we all know that there is still plenty of time for more snow to arrive.
In the afternoon of 12 June 2014, I drove westwards to the mountains, along Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66) as far as Maclean Pond. I did a very slow walk, and was happy when I noticed several tiny "mushrooms" growing on a fallen, rotting log. The tallest one may have been an inch tall, so you can imagine how small the smallest one was. They are some of my favourite ones to photograph. This plant is found in both books on Lichens and books on Mushrooms as Omphalina, as Lichenomphallia ericetorum is a lichen fungus that resembles a mushroom.
I had hoped to find lots of wildflowers in bloom, but the main plant was the Dandelion, so it was obviously too early after our late spring. Also a very few Shootingstars, one Blue-eyed Grass in bloom, several Valerian flowers, several clusters of Mouse-eared Chickweed, and not much else.
On the way home, I drove a few of the backroads SW of Calgary, where I photographed a pair of Mountain Bluebirds, a Snipe, a Tree Swallow, a Brewer's Blackbird, and a Black Tern that was perched on a fence post. Usually, when I see Terns, they are flying fast and my camera can't catch them.
"Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes. This habit has allowed scientists to study their breeding biology in detail, and makes them a great addition to many a homeowner’s yard or field." From allaboutbirds.
As I sat next to this young fellow, I thought of Rodin's "Thinker".
This "thinker" has all the accoutrements necessary for comfy reflection. . . backpack full of books, and a beverage
The Thinker (Le Penseur) by Auguste Rodin, 1903. In the Gardens of Musee Rodin – Paris, France. When first conceived (at slightly less than 28 inches), it was entitiled “The Poet” and represented Dante on Rodin’s monumental work The Gates of Hell. Several of the more popular sculptures from The Gates of Hell were later enlarged separately. World-wide, there are twenty-five 72-inch versions of the statute.

I know you think this is one of Mark's #crazydrawings, but no, it is a bunch of dead bugs on flypaper in a small paper factory near #Tengchong, in #Yunnan. Another case of #nature imitating #art.

PICTURES SENT TO ME
This bikini used to belong to my sister, saw it when my aunt returned it.
When you first look at the bikini in the bag it just looks like it had been neatly folded up, until you take it out and find that yes it is folded up, but there is much more but it is sewn quite a bit using thread you cannot see either in many places
Do not think sister will be wearing it again ever as to get it loose again will be difficult and you might even cut it by accident trying to get it loose
No Post processing done and no Tripod :-)
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY WEEKEND...

Thank You All so much for your kind comments, awards, faves and invites - much appreciated!!!
i think this is my favourite dress of the lot.
the purple is so amazingly smooth and shiny and offsets the silver top quite well i think.
but mostly i like it because it is striped. as some of you may or may not know, i've a thing for stripes.
my friend sonya has a closet full of all these vintage things that are really keen. she likes to collect and sell them and really knows a lot about the clothes and the history of their design. she studies things, encyclopedically, at the Bard Graduate Center.
for her ebay listing, if you're interested.
I think this is a larval water beetle..

St Peter, Nowton, Suffolk
To stand at Nowton church, or the almshouses where the friendly keyholder is, you would not think that we could be so close to Bury St Edmunds. Here, in rolling west Suffolk, woods and copses hide the next parish in any direction, creating an intimacy that is not belied by the occasional hazy distant view from a ridge or hilltop. Nowton church sits on one particular hill, a long track leading up from the nearest road into the silence of its tree-shrouded churchyard, an oasis of lush botanical green in the agricultural expanses.
A mile or so off in the Bury suburbs is Nowton Country Park, one of the main recreational areas of the town, and the former grounds of Nowton Hall. The Hall was the home of the fabulously wealthy Oakes family, and in 1811 Elizabeth Frances Oakes, wife of Orbell Ray Oakes and Lady of the Manor, died at the age of 42. She was buried in Nowton church, which must have been a very plain and ramshackle structure in those Georgian days. However, over the next ten years something extraordinary happened here, as we will see.
Essentially, the church in which Elizabeth Oakes was buried was a 14th century building with surviving Norman details, before the Victorians went to work on it. Walking around it, the graveyard is a strikingly beautiful adornment, still with an air of the early 19th century, with the kind of trees that Lords of the Manor and Rectors-of-leisure liked to plant in those days, including a glorious cedar. Stepping inside, this is a pleasant, shipshape little church. All around are memorials to the Oakes family in the 19th and 20th Centuries, but it probably won't be them that catches your eye, because Nowton is home to one of the largest and best collection of continental glass in England.
Not far from Nowton is Rushbrooke, which in the early 19th Century was the home of the eccentric Colonel Rushbrooke, an avid antiquarian and carpenter who I am afraid was not above the odd spot of forgery. He refurnished Rushbrooke church in the manner of the Cambridge college chapel of his youth, giving it a Henry VIII royal arms into the bargain. Items that he collected can be found in several churches in the eastern counties, for Colonel Rushbrooke spent many happy months in the first decade of the 19th century trawling around the Low Countries and buying up wooden panels and painted glass from monasteries. Many of these monasteries had been closed and ruined in the aftermath of the French Revolution and the following Napoleonic Wars, and their treasures were easily acquired for the right price.
At this time, Orbell Ray Oakes was struggling with a way to make Nowton church into a more fitting and beautiful last resting place for his wife. His solution was to purchase perhaps as many as eighty continental panels from Rushbrooke. They were installed between about 1816 and 1820 by the Norwich stained glass artist Samuel Yarington, who was an expert in these matters, working with the Norwich antiquities dealer Christopher Hampp to supply and install continental glass, mostly depicting scriptural and allegorical subjects, to English churches, mainly in the Norwich area. In those days before the great revival of church art later in the century, most English churches were very plain, especially in puritan East Anglia, and in any case coloured glass of English manufacture was not easily come by. The installation of panels of continental glass would be an easy solution, and even a few panels would be an adornment to a simple church. The Nowton scheme, of course, goes much further than this.
The panels are to be found in every window except the west window. The panels in the east window are set in nine groups of five, the larger panel in the centre of each group and four smaller panels orbiting around it in a sea of Yarington's patterned glass. There is no obvious sequential order or theological structure, and so it must be assumed that Oakes' intention was purely decorative, to beautiful his wife's last resting place. The panels were reordered on two occasions later in the century as Nowton church was restored and extended, but the original configuration of the east window in particular was not altered much. There are slightly odd panels depicting knights on brasses by John Sell Cotman set at the base of someof the aisle windows. When the glass was restored in 1970, some panels from the demolished Dagnams Hall in Essex were added at the bottom of the east window to replace glass of Yarington's that had perished.
At the west end of the south aisle is the elegant memorial to Elizabeth Oakes by John Bacon Jr. It shows her praying against an angled tombchest on the other side of which are a cross and an open book reading Thy Will Be Done. Under the tower, a brass plaque tells us that this church was embellished & decorated with painted glass collected from the Monasteries at Brussels, an Organ erected with a Peal of Six Bells, at the Expense & Gift of Orbell Ray Oakes Esq. The inhabitants inscribe this tablet as a memorial of his liberality, 1820.
Orbell Ray Oakes died in 1837 as the Victorian era began, and his son Henry James Oakes, the new Lord of the Manor, bankrolled a considerable restoration of the church under the architect Anthony Salvin. The construction of a neo-Norman north aisle necessitated the moving of some of the panels, and possibly the acquisition of some more. The nave and chancel were essentially rebuilt and the building was reroofed. The elegant remains of the medieval screen were retained, and all in all this must have been a very shipshape little building by the end of the 1870s. The Oakes family continued to live in the parish at Nowton Court, built in the 1830s. In the 20th Century, Nowton Park was acquired by St Edmundsbury District Council. The last of the Oakes family is still alive today, in her nineties, but after her the dynasty will be no more.
Around the walls of the church, memorials recall members of the Oakes family, some dying out in the Empire, some of the younger ones falling on the battlefields of France in the First World War. But having said all this, I do think this building escapes being merely a mausoleum to the Oakes family. Perhaps it is the simplicity of their memorials, or the sense of life in the building, despite its remoteness. Even so, the overwhelming feeling is of the century that rebuilt it and adorned it, which is just as it should be.
Or at least I do. This is my bit for breast cancer awareness. Yes, it is a somewhat cheesy set but a very serious cause.
Counting the days until I get to see my friends at SCC. I do think fondly of all whom I met.

You might think of this as some grand birthday - or a wonderful winter morning dress party. Maybe a rich family on grand, movie style vacations or something to that effect.
In fact, the young boy is marching for his khatna party. You read that right. This is Circumcision party and the young girl is his sister. See the face of the boy: he looks a tad sad. But everyone else seems happy.
This is Khiva old city and that is why we loved it so much. So would you, if you ever pass on it’s silk route.
