On Aug. 23, 2014, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz's emergency services directorate held it's National Night Out event, together with the USO Sun and Fun event, at Pulaski Park, on Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Begun in 1984, National Night Out is a community-police awareness-raising event. It now involves over 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.
Families had the opportunity to learning about fighting crime and what they can do support local law enforcement. There were working dog demonstrations, child ID kits, crime prevention programs and activity tables. The best part, young people got a chance to meet military police and garrison firefighters, plus Sparky the Fire Dog and Daren the Lion.

Mary Ellen and I were out for a walk on the Freycinet peninsula when we spotted another couple - they were a pair of oystercatchers, out finding dinner and guarding their nest.

New Jersey's Dalek play an awesome live show at the Future Sounds of Hip-Hop night for Massive Attack's Meltdown festival.
It seems apt that the longer exposure turns the lights in to an original Dalekesque death ray! (Dr Who on the BBC for our worldwide family who may be in the dark as to who the Daleks are)
So I did get a picture in the end Mr Jobsworth security guard!
Royal Festival Hall, 19/06/2008
November Week 1 - Family
Usually I prefer to read and create my art in silence, but once I heard Come People of the Risen King, on the list of suggested music, I just kept it playing over and over whilst I created!
These are the lyrics:
Come, people of the Risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.
REFRAIN
Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice!
Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.
Come, young and old from every land -
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands -
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing -
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”!
Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart Townend
That's the feeling I was trying to capture in my piece - a worldwide family, a family of all creation. Blessings falling from God onto and around all of us, if we could but see them sometimes! And that definitely applies to me, especially over the past few months.
I'm now going to start a gratitude journal...even if it's just a list with no art as such...I want to keep it with me and ensure I remember the things that are often so fleeting. I think this will be good preparation for Advent especially. I don't want to get bogged down in all the 'hard' stuff that's around, but concentrate on what's really important! I think this rewind prompt came at the perfect time for me!
This feeling of a need to make almost a new start, a more positive way forward, maybe that's why this piece feels a bit less gentle and more forceful that my other recent pieces! The texture images I used, one of them was quite hard and dramatic and I almost did away with it and tried to recreate what it added to the piece in my own way, more gentle, softer strokes. But it just didn't sit right, so I put the piece back to the way I'd had it originally. Not sure it's one of my favourites lol, but it really did want out and onto the 'canvas'!
Various textures and brushes used plus one of the HKC Praise Him Digital Images.
TFL!

Saltbushes are members of a worldwide family of plants (Chenopodiaceae - chenopods) that are common in deserts and salty environments. They vary in size from small fleshy herbs to large woody shrubs. In many rangelands they constitute the dominant shrubby vegetation and are also the staple diet of many animals.
Saltbush (Atriplex species) and bluebush (Maireana spp.) are closely related subgroups and there are about 60 species of each in Australia. There are another 30 to 40 related chenopod species that have similar forage value and appearance. Some are annuals but many are strongly perennial.
Xenophora pallidula (Reeve, 1842) - pallid carrier snail. (apical view) (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA)
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.
The xenophorid snails (a.k.a. carrier snails), especially those in the genus Xenophora, are remarkable for their tendency to pick up other shells, skeletal fragments, rocks, or corals (sometimes still alive) from their surrounding environment and cement these objects to their own shells. The result looks like a pile of shells on the seafloor. Often, sponges and serpulid worm tubes are found encrusting the xenophorid shell - they contribute to the illusion that a xenophorid is simply a patch of seafloor. Xenophora carrier snails do this as a camouflage defense against predators. Decorator crabs are arthropods that engage in similar camouflage behavior (storage.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520x260/d...).
Xenophorids are principally detritivores and occur on unconsolidated, fine-grained to coarse-grained to rubbly substrates.
From museum signage: "The worldwide family of carrier-shells has for millions of years had a natural habit of attaching other shells and small objects to themselves. The family name, Xenophoridae, means "bearer" (phora) of "foreigners" (xeno). Of the 20 known living species, three live in the Caribbean Province, one in the Mediterranean, one in West Africa, and the remaining 15 in the Indo-Pacific oceans. Carrier shells will attach nearly any object within their reach. A choice of size and orientation is deliberately made. Only dead bivalves are selected and are always glued with the concave side up. Dead gastropods are always glued at the smaller, pointed end. A carrier-shell may take an hour to move an object into position with its proboscis. As many as 10 hours are taken to secrete enough new shell material to successfully "glue on" the new item. Whether for camouflage or for strengthening the edge of the shell, the carrier-shells produce projections."
In the above photo, the carrier snail has covered its shell with numerous rocks. The greenish-colored rocks may be serpentinite.

On our last day in Trinidad we stopped for lunch at a beach and got to see the White-winged Swallow, Tachycineta albiventer, on a wire along the street. This is a non-migratory species that resembles our Tree and Violet-green Swallow (same genus), but as you can see from this marginal photo the white on the wing makes the I.D. straightforward. They are non-migratory and are not gregarious like many swallows. The white wing patch is the dorsal surface of the inner wing feathers, i.e. the secondaries and tertials.
It's hard to research neotropical birds without an extended library, so I often use the internet. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology often provides great background information on our southern avifauna. Check out neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/portal/species/ Just type in the common name of the bird of interest into the search field. Cool!
The referenced link provides some excellent information of the sometimes changing taxonomy. "Tachycineta" is a "swift mover" (Holloway). There are some 83 Swallows worldwide (family Hirundiniidae), nine species in the genus Tachycineta. White-winged Swallow has no subspecies.

For the most part, red-spotted purples tend to ignore flowers, but are readily attracted to mud, dung and carrion, as well as oozing sap and fermenting fruit. The moist earth underlying a stretch of sparse gravel attracted this red-spotted purple to Maggie’s driveway.
Though the red-spotted purple (arthemis) and the more northern white admiral (astyanax) differ radically in appearance, they are classified as one species within Limenitis, a genus belonging to the worldwide family of brush-footed butterflies, the Nymphalidae (6,000 plus species). Unique to brush-footed butterflies is their diminutive forelegs, so small that the butterfly appears to be four-legged. The forelegs lack claws and are covered with short brush-like hairs, giving a bottlebrush appearance, hence the name brush-footed butterflies. Michigan’s other Limenitis is the viceroy (archippus), the famed mimic of the monarch. In addition, western North America has two species of Limenitis: Weidemeyer’s admiral and Lorquin’s admiral.
The life cycle of the red-spotted purple (arthemis) spans from May through October. Depending on latitude and local climate, there is one generation in the northern part of its range, two generations in the mid-part, and three in the southernmost part. The egg takes about a week to hatch. The caterpillar stage lasts about two weeks and consists of five instars. Starting in the second instar, the caterpillar's appearance is that of a bird dropping. Its pinkish-white saddle patch assesses the length of daylight, thereby giving the caterpillar its day-to-day position within the summer cycle. This determines whether the third-instar caterpillar is to make a hibernaculum in which to spend the coming winter or to continue to the fifth instar after which it pupates for about two weeks, then emerges as a butterfly having a flight span of two weeks to a month.
