Unnatural Affections
One Pride Day in Toronto, I noticed a guy taking a million pictures of all the scandalous perverts, but pulling faces to clearly communicate his disapproval. Of course I had to photograph his performance. The moment he noticed, he rushed up and demanded I stop. I dedicate this to him and hope he found some kind of redemption in his collection of dirty, dirty pictures.
So, for your consideration, a set of illustrations taken from an encyclopaedic catalogue of human sexual diversity, chosen to poke at the way we run together moralizing with evidence-based medicine to produce ideas about what's healthy and what's criminal. Experts dissect and evaluate and problematize, religions vilify - and tourists walk around with cameras taking pictures and going EWWWWW!

For the most part, carnations express love, fascination, and distinction.
I love the drama here created by the crinkly edges and all the frilly detail in those 'feathered' beauties... Antique?
It is the Carnation, very fragrant...
In the Victorian language of flowers, it symbolises gallantry.
Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affection.
Purple carnations indicate capriciousness. In France, it is a traditional funeral flower, given in condolence for the death of a loved one.
In France and Francophone cultures, carnations symbolise misfortune and bad luck.
Have a gentle day and thank you for viewing, Magda (*_*)

Today my kind husband took me out of the house, finally and I was so lucky to see these two at the Moss Landing Harbor! These two were so adorable..I wish more of my images were better, the lighting wasn't very good and I find otters hard to photograph. They were so cute together, she played and kept the young one on her belly and cradling it with her front and back feet.
I noticed these two never had sexy time. Also never showed Tamuz' back tattoo.
Unfortunately Stravos' face-up chipped for the 4th time so it's time to try something different once again : P
This bison calf was just a hour or so old when this image was captured. His (or her) fur was still damp and the mother is in the process of giving it it's first bath. Captured at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park.

When most of us think of Valentine’s Day, we think of declaring love for someone with a special card, that is usually fancy, beautiful, and adorned with hearts and flowers. However, it was not always like this!
The Victorians had a custom of sending ‘Vinegar Valentines’ to people they did not much care for. These cards were sold in the United States and Britain, from the middle 19th century to the early 20th century. Also called comic valentines, these cards were decorated with garish caricatures and featured a short line or poem that, rather than offer a message of love and affection, it criticized, rejected, and/or insulted the recipient. They were often sent without a signature, enabling the sender to speak without fear. Oh, and for added spice, the recipient of these insults paid the postage on delivery :-).

It was a dark day at the beach and i just wanted to capture some rainy clouds. I met these children, they were playing hide&seek at the beach. We didn't understand each others language but they seemed to like me and did some spontaneous posing. This is the result.

I meet some great college students at the zoos. This young woman is finishing her first-semester stint at the zoo. After Christmas, she will be enjoy another internship in animal conservation, working with graphic art.
I love really be able to see the amazing colors of the Green Heron! These youngsters will be gone soon, but I have enjoyed every moment I have been able to spend watching them!
This is one of the few images I can show - at this close-range view - from Mama Fox and one her cubs. There were many memorable moments that I didn't get to preserve with a camera. Memories will last a lifetime.

British Flora Robson (1902-1984) was one of the half dozen finest dramatic actresses of her generation. Her range extended from queens to murderesses and she was particularly renowned for her performances in plays demanding dramatic and emotional intensity. Her best known film role was that of Queen Elizabeth I in both Fire Over England (1937) and The Sea Hawk (1940). However, her career was a constant struggle to achieve the roles worthy of her talents.
Flora McKenzie Robson was born in South Shields, County Durham. She was of Scottish descent to a family of six siblings. Her father was a ship's engineer He discovered that Flora had a talent for recitation and she recited Little Orphan Annie in a school performance. From the age of five, she was taken around by horse and carriage to recite, and to compete in recitations. She was educated at the Palmers Green High School and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. At 19, Robson made her stage debut as Queen Margret in the play Wil Shakespeare in 1921. She graduated from RADA with a bronze medal, but then she struggled to find a footing in the theatre. She had a long face with a big nose and a wide mouth and apparently lacked the looks which were then an absolute requisite for actresses in dramatic roles. After touring in minor parts with Ben Greet's Shakespeare company she played small parts for two seasons in the new repertory company at Oxford, alongside a youthful John Gielgud. Then her contract was not renewed. Wikipedia: “she was told, as tactfully as possible, that they required a prettier actress. Unable to secure any acting engagements she gave up the stage at the age of 23 and in a disconsolate life-change she took up work as a welfare officer in the Shredded Wheat factory in Welwyn Garden City”. In the factory, she formed an amateur theatrical group among the workers there. She later credited this experience with enlarging her view of dramatic structure and acting. In 1929, Tyrone Guthrie, due to direct a season at the new Festival Theatre, Cambridge, asked her to join his company. It was the dramatic making of her. She played the stepdaughter in Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an author and her acting made her the theatrical talk of Cambridge. More excited applause followed with her Isabella in Measure for Measure, opposite a youthful Robert Donat, Iphigenia, Pirandello's Naked, the title role in Iphigenia, Varya in the Cherry Orchard and finally the huge challenge of Rebecca West in Ibsen's Rosmersholm. These performances signalled the arrival of an actress who could either transmit emotional stress or simply hint at it, with rare power. In her second season, though, she had few dramatic opportunities and once again her lack of chocolate-box appeal meant that the management dispensed with her services.
In the early 1930s, Flora Robson was cast as the adulterous Abbie in Eugene O'Neill's Desire under the Elms. At the time, the censors considered the play as too shocking to be given a public performance. In the little club theatre, The Gate, near Robson scored a direct hit with audiences and critics alike. Then, her brief, shocking appearance as the doomed prostitute in James Bridie's play The Anatomist was another success. " This lead to a season as leading lady at the Old Vic, opposite Charles Laughton. By the end of 1933 she was caught in the theatrical firmament as a star. Cinema beckoned. Her film debut had been a bit part in A Gentleman of Paris (Sinclair Hill, 1931). In 1934, Robson played the Russian Empress Elizabeth in Catherine the Great (Paul Czinner, 1934). The historical film was produced by Alexander Korda and based on the play The Czarina by Lajos Bíró and Melchior Lengyel, about the rise to power of Catherine the Great. Elisabeth Bergner starred as Catherine. Robson played a forceful Livia in another Korda production I, Claudius (Josef von Sternberg,1937). This was an unfinished film adaptation of the novels I, Claudius (1934) and Claudius the God (1935) by Robert Graves. Charles Laughton played the title role, but the production was dogged by adverse circumstances, culminating in a car accident involving co-star Merle Oberon that caused filming to be ended before completion. Robson’s best known film role was that of Queen Elizabeth I in both Fire Over England (William K. Howard, 1937) starring Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, and the Hollywood Swashbuckler The Sea Hawk (Michael Curtiz, 1940) starring Errol Flynn. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Ingrid Bergman's Haitian maid, Angelique Buiton in the romantic drama Saratoga Trunk (Sam Wood, 1945). That same year she gave a hypnotic performance as Ftatateeta, the nursemaid and royal confidante to Vivien Leigh's Queen Cleopatra, in the screen adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra (Gabriel Pascal, 1945). On stage, she was acclaimed in 1942 in the John Van Druten play The Damask Cheek, and in 1949 as the unhappy mother in Leslie Storm's Black Chiffon.
After the Second World War, Flora Robson demonstrated her range again in the cinema. She first appeared in the comedy Holiday Camp (Ken Annakin, 1947), the first of a series of films which featured the very ordinary Huggett family. That same year, she appeared as Sister Philippa in Black Narcissus (Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, 1947), she was a magistrate in Goodtime Girl (David MacDonald, 1948), and a prospective Labour MP in Frieda (Basil Dearden, 1947) featuring Mai Zetterling. She also appeared in the costume melodrama, Saraband for Dead Lovers (Basil Dearden, 1948), starring Stewart Granger. On stage followed memorable theatrical performances as Lady Macbeth on Broadway (1949) and as Paulina in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale (1951), production by John Gielgud. She was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1952, and raised to Dame Commander (DBE) in 1960. In between she appeared in such films as Romeo and Juliet (Renato Castellani, 1954) as Juliet’s nurse, and the drama High Tide at Noon (Philip Leacock, 1957). In the 1960s she continued to act in the West End, in such plays as Ring Round the Moon, The Importance of Being Earnest and Three Sisters. Her later film roles include the Empress Dowager Cixi in the historical epic 55 Days at Peking (Nicholas Ray, 1963), Miss Milchrest in the Miss Marple mystery Murder at the Gallop (George Pollock, 1963), and the Queen of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (William Sterling, 1972). She continued her acting career late into life, though not on the West End stage, from which she retired at the age of 67 She often played in American television films, including a lavish production of A Tale of Two Cities. She also performed for British television, including The Shrimp and the Anemone. I the cinema, she was last briefly seen a Stygian Witch in the fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans (Desmond Davis, 1981) starring Harry Hamlin. Both the BBC and ITV made special programmes to celebrate her 80th birthday in 1982 and the BBC ran a short season of her best films. Her private life was largely focused on her large family of sisters, nephews and nieces, who used the home in Wykeham Terrace, Brighton, which she shared with sisters, Margaret and Shela. In 1984, Flora Robson died in the English seaside resort of Brighton. She was 82. She had never been married or had any children. ''I've known very little personal love, but the public has always shown me great affection,'' Dame Flora was once quoted. Her two sisters, with whom she shared her life and home, died around the same time.
