Another attempt at face removal. Bit better than my first attempt but think I need a model rather than posing myself lol.

A return visit to the American Museum and Gardens near Bath in Somerset.
They have developed the gardens since our last visit here.
The American Museum and Gardens (formerly American Museum in Britain) is a museum of American art and culture based at Claverton, near Bath, England. Its world-renowned collections of American furniture, quilts and folk art are displayed in a Grade I listed 19th-century house, surrounded by gardens overlooking the valley of the River Avon.
The country house was designed for John Vivian, a barrister who had purchased the manor in 1816, by Jeffry Wyatville in 1819–20. It stands on the steep west slope of the Avon valley, above the Claverton village, and is about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the centre of Bath.
The house has three storeys and is built in ashlar. Its east elevation, overlooking the river valley, has full-height bows flanking three central bays with a projecting square porch, above it two Ionic columns in antis. The south elevation has five bays, the central three embellished with Ionic pilasters under a pediment bearing the Vivian arms. A tall screen wall to the south has urns on pedestals, and a six-bay north wing containing service rooms has similar decoration. The building and walls were designated as Grade I listed in 1956. A two-storey coach house and stables were built to the south of the house, also in ashlar, around 1820.
Earlier owners of the estate include Sir Edward Hungerford (d.1607), a Member of Parliament, and (from 1609) Martin Bassett,[5] whose son William (d.1656) and grandson William (d.1693) were also MPs. In 1758 it was bought by Ralph Allen, owner of Bath stone quarries, and in 1816 by John Vivian, who replaced the earlier manor house (near Claverton church) with the present house on its elevated site. Vivian's second son George, an artist and traveller, developed the gardens and added the screen walls.
The estate had a succession of owners after it was sold by the Vivian family in 1869, and during the ownership of the Skrine family the gardens were in 1897 the venue for the first public speech by Winston Churchill. The house was the headquarters of an RAF barrage balloon group during the Second World War. John Judkyn and Dallas Pratt, co-founders of the museum, bought the house and grounds in 1958.
The museum was founded by two antique collectors: Dallas Pratt (1914 – 1994), an American psychiatrist from New York and heir to a substantial Standard Oil fortune; and his lifelong partner John Judkyn (1913 – 1963), a British designer and antiques dealer who took American citizenship. The museum was opened to the public for the first time on July 1, 1961, and remains the only museum devoted to American decorative arts outside the boundaries of the United States. The museum's mission today stays true to the ambitions of its founders; to increase knowledge of American cultural history in order to strengthen the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.
The museum remains a popular attraction, with well over 3 million visitors in total by 2012.
Richard Wendorf, an American literary scholar and librarian, was Director of the Museum between 2010 and 2021.
The museum collection is displayed in the manor house and includes a variety of American cultural artefacts, decorative arts and antiques, as well as a series of Period Rooms covering a historical period from circa 1690 to 1860. These rooms are reconstructions of those from a variety of historic American interiors, including a late seventeenth-century Puritan home, an eighteenth-century tavern, and a sumptuous New Orleans bedroom dating from around the eve of the American Civil War in 1860. The museum's collection also includes world renowned Shaker furniture, an extensive collection of over 200 quilts and textiles (50 of which are on permanent display), a collection of over 200 antique historical maps, and the most significant collection of American folk art in Europe. The museum collection includes works by a variety of artists, such as Susan Powers as well as the portraitists John Brewster, Jr., Ammi Phillips and William Matthew Prior. There are also carved eagles by Wilhelm Schimmel and Frederick Myrick.
The museum also hosts a different exhibition every year exploring more recent American history. Recent temporary exhibitions have included The Colourful World of Kaffe Fassett and Shooting Stars: Britain and America in the 1970s (featuring the photography of Carinthia West). These exhibitions are situated in the museum's external gallery, located in a separate building to the manor house. The museum's gift shop is also located in this building.

Freshman Omar Garcia stands by the water fountain in the 200 hall in Bel Air High School on May 20th 2009. Omar has strong feelings about who should and shouldn’t wear Vans. “ Vans have always been skate shoes. If you don’t skate you shouldn’t wear the shoes. Vans have never been about fashion; the shoes are made for skating. Its pointless to wear them if you aren’t gonna use them for what they were made for.” Most students at Bel Air don’t agree of course. People buy them because they are comfortable and look good with everything.
Watch ! what next?..fire work & fire at location..Dedicated fire watcher to manned the work site instead of watching welding slag dripping..Untoleratable condition cum poor safety work culture.
(+2 in comments) 38 of 365 – Candidly shot this mother & son at a pancake breakfast. As soon as I saw them I knew they had a very special relationship and did my best to capture it.
Of course, I asked permission from the mom first.
Waiting to get in to the True Diversity Dinner
True Diversity Dinner, Snow Goose Restaurant, Anchorage, Alaska, September 25, 2009. The True Diversity Dinner was sponsored by several Alaska bloggers and information lists who had been active in the summer 2009 fight for the Anchorage equal rights ordinance A) 2009-64. After the ordinance passed but was then vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan, we decided to hold the dinner as an alternative to the Mayor's Unity Dinner (renamed from what used to by the Mayor's Diversity Dinner), because, we decided, "we all deserve a seat at the table." For further information, see the True Diversity Dinner website or my posts about the dinner www.henkimaa.com/tag/true-diversity-dinner/.

True Blue, and looking so new too! With ebay you can buy back the '80s, hehe! This arrived today, still in its original shrinkwrap.
Although I knew all of Madonna's hits by heart as they danced their way across the radio waves, one after the next... and although I counted her among my favorites from Lucky Star and Borderline on, I was never much of a record buyer as a kid. I preferred to spend my money on toys even up through high school (ok, I still like spending my money on toys!). So I never had anything by Madonna on vinyl. Boo hoo. But eventually I collected all of her albums on CD. For a long time, True Blue wasn't a favorite of mine. But lately I can't stop listening to it. It's in the CD player in my car, it's on my ipod. And the cover is probably the most breathtaking of all of her records. This is totally frameable! CDs are cool, ipods are cool, even cassette tapes and walkmans are cool, but there's nothing quite like a vinyl record for maxiumum coolness!
I always loved Open Your Heart, Papa Don't Preach, Live To Tell and True Blue - I still love those songs and can lisgten to them again and again. But White Heat is amazing, and Love Makes The World Go Round just makes you feel so good when you hear it. Where's the Party is energy overload, and Jimmy Jimmy is just goofy fun. Somehow True Blue went from being one of my least favorite Madonna records to one of my favorites. Ok, so I have like 5 favorites, hehe, but some of her albums are just better than others. And sometimes you go through phases where you can't get enough of one of them. Right now... True Blue, baby, I love you.
What's your favorite Madonna album?
