"The Hôtel Biron is a jewel of Parisian rocaille architecture, with its park that covers nearly three hectares, adding to its immense attraction and explaining the museum’s very high attendance. In total, it welcomes over 700,000 visitors every year.
Late in 2005, the architect Pierre Louis Faloci finished the restoration of the chapel building, making possible the reopening of a temporary exhibition room.
Stretching over three hectares, the grounds are divided into a rose garden, north of the Hôtel Biron, and a large ornamental garden, to the south, while a terrace and hornbeam hedge backing onto a trellis concealed a relaxation area, at the bottom of the garden. Pierced by three openings, this trellis reflects the design and proportions of the three bay windows on the mansion’s garden façade. Two thematic walks were also laid out: in the east, plants thrive amidst the rockery in the “Garden of Orpheus”, and, in the west, water is omnipresent in the “Garden of Springs”.
Rodin started to place selected works in the overgrown garden that he liked so much in 1908, together with some of the antiques from his personal collection. Male and female torsos, copies made in the Roman or modern period, after Greek works, were presented in these natural surroundings, their contours dappled by the sunlight: “Nature and Antiquity are the two great sources of life for an artist. In any event, Antiquity implies nature. It is its truth and its smile.” (Rodin)
The first bronzes were erected in the gardens before World War I. Since 1993, they have been regularly cleaned and treated so as to preserve their original patinas."
"The Musée Rodin in Paris, France, is a museum that was opened in 1919, dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It has two sites: the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris and just outside Paris at Rodin's old home, the Villa des Brillants at Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine). The collection includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs, and 7,000 objets d’art. The museum receives 700,000 visitors annually.
While living in the Villa des Brillants, Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908 and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures (along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired) to the French State on the condition that they turn the buildings into a museum dedicated to his works.
The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden. The museum is one of the most accessible museums in Paris. It is located near a Metro stop, Varenne, in a central neighborhood, and the entrance fee is very reasonable. The gardens around the museum building contain many of the famous sculptures in natural settings. Behind the museum building are a small lake and casual restaurant.
Additionally, the Metro stop, Varenne, features some of Rodin's sculptures on the platform. The building is served by Métro (line 13: Varenne or Invalides), RER (line C: Invalides), and bus (69, 82, 87, 92).
The museum has also a room dedicated to the works of Camille Claudel. Some paintings by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh that were in Rodin's personal collections are also presented. The Musée Rodin collections are very diverse, as Rodin used to collect besides being an artist."

"three little birds"
a bob marley song
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
~If you are like me, Christmas is fore-most, the most blessed day of all the year... It is also a time that is most painful to the heart. I think about my loved ones waiting in Heaven. I think of those I have loved, those I have helped, those I call my friends and those whom are my family. I think of the heartache caused by those who have left me stranded, those who didn't care to try and those who take without giving. I also thought of how resentful I was to them, of my angry words and thoughts, but as I read these verse's I thought of the many people dealing with the same emotions that I am and who are having a Blue Christmas this year.
Three Christmas wishes is an offering of healing by verse to the emotional pain often felt on Christmas and sometimes throughout the year. In each verse there is a wish that you will listen to them with your heart and be healed of all afflictions by hearing God's words.
Three Christmas Wishes
By Angel Cher
* Depressed
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43;2
** Angry (Remember that often anger in just a real deep pain and not actually a hatred!!)
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:19
*** In Grief
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Thessalonians 4:13, 14

United Nations Mission in South Sudan Civil Affairs Division holds a Conflict Management Forum with Internally Displaced Persons sheltering at Mahad Primary School, held under the theme "The Role of Women in Community Dialogue and Mediation".
It is almost one year since CAD conducted a conflict management workshop for three ethnic groups; Dinka, Murle and Anyuak hosted as IDPs at Mahad Primary School in Juba. These were part of thousands of people that were displaced from their homes following the outbreak of violence on 15th December 2013.
The “open gate” policy implemented by UNMISS within the spirit of offering protection to civilians under imminent threats, provided safety to big numbers of IDPs who sought refuge in UNMISS compounds, including Juba bases. Beyond UNMISS gates, there were 2,415 registered IDPs hosted at Mahad Juba Primary School in 2014.
CAD conducted a workshop in order to avert ethnic tensions that characterized their lives. The capacity of the leaders to manage conflicts peacefully was strengthened, with positive results seen in enhanced co-existence and more coordination meetings between the leaders of IDPs, RRC and NGOs.
However, the Mahad IDPs are now facing new challenges, namely the arrivals of more people from the areas affected by recent fighting such as Melut in Upper Nile State and also the five hundred and sixty (560) returnees from Kenya and Uganda.
The current scenario is unique in the sense that women and girls play a critical role in instigating new waves of conflicts in the IDP site. CAD’s analysis revealed that while the last year’s workshop (2014) yielded positive results as mentioned here-above, the involvement of women remained at the edge of the peace process.
It is from this perspective that CAD CES and the IDP leadership planned to conduct another conflict management workshop in which the role of women will be illuminated not only for short term conflict prevention, management and resolution but act as long vision for inclusive peace process in which women’s role will be fully recognized. Thus enhancement of integration and co-existence among IDPs becomes the conveyer belt for sustainable peace beyond the IDP life.
Some people own hair bands that just scream to have photos of them taken of. Besides, who can resist a beautiful opportunity to capture all three primary additive colours at once?
Was inspired by painter Wayne Thiebaud and his painting "Three Flavors." This is my take on his painting.
These three men from Malesso’/Merizo were found by the U.S. Navy during the American invasion of Guam in 1944. They had escaped from the Japanese.

'Three eyed ' deer in New forest national park. Perfect timing and composition for this shoot. This deer looks like it's got three eyes and three ears.
The "Three Cairns" is an installation by the British artist Andy Goldsworthy. Accordining to Wikipedia, Goldsworthy "produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. His art involves the use of natural and found objects, to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment." Goldsworthy did similar installations at art museums in New York and California as a way to symbolically connect the east coast, west coast and midwest.
Just a few buddies enjoying a good ride. Taken during the 2004 Sea Otter Classic mountain bike race. This is from the "fun ride" (and not the actual race), so we had time to pose for photos.
When I was a little girl my Irish grandfather and I used to go off hunting for four leaved clovers until one day we were eating our sardine sandwiches by the water and we got philosophising about it (he was a great philosopher in between beers, was my Grandfather) and we concluded that four leaved clovers must be the unluckiest things in the world ... people were always snapping them off their stalks. THREE leaved, clovers, we decided, were much luckier.
And easier to find.
