Another unique-looking specimen from mother's small collection of Wrightia religiosa bonsai (it's all thanks to the folks at ID Please that I know)
Soon after I photographed the first Assignment Bonsai, she'd had to give away or dispose of significant number of them - all because of the new elevator shaft that's being built right at our doorstep. She's just knows that her pretty plants are gonna get stolen.
I'm sad to see the mini garden dwindle in size.
Assignment 3 was called "Made to Be Photographed." I decided to use this opportunity to vent my frustration with the current situation in our public education system.
I took this photo for my Macro Photography assignment. It is a close-up of a picnic table on the lawn at our school. Any comments or criticism are greatly appreciated.

Assignment 52 -- Bokeh -- my first experiment with shaped bokeh
I'd never done anything like this before, & did a lot of fooling around to get the right-sized stencil for my lens opening before anything worked at all. It was interesting to me, though, as it helped me understand more about aperture & light. I think I also made this more challenging for my initial attempt by choosing a complex shape, harder to make come out recognizably.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- World War I Memorial, in Scoville Park, Oak Park, IL, a few blocks south of the Hemingway Birthplace
When this monument was dedicated, in 1925, Hemingway was already in Paris, living the cafe expatriate life, married to his first wife Hadley Richardson, and working on his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, published the following year.
But his war experiences shaped much of his fiction and also his world view. He was hardly out of high school, when he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in World War I. After he was severely wounded, he returned to Oak Park to recuperate. And decades later, during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, he worked as a journalist in combat zones.
Here are a few of the things he had to say about war:
--World War I was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that had ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied. So the writers either wrote propaganda, or shut up, or fought.
--Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
--No catalogue of horrors ever kept man from war. Before the war, you always think that it's not you who will die... In modern war, there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
Active Assignment Weekly
For this week's assignment you need to"Frame" your subject with something natural or staged...But..Not with Photoshop or one of those other funky programs.
Restriction: No imported frame.
Dare:Take the assignment literally.
Well I headed out to work on this assignment but my dogs were not cooperating. So I figured I'd make the pups model for me another day and try to combine the weekly and monthly assignments together.
I wanted it to look as though it was a picture hanging up and the glass being broken and liquefying.
WIT: I rotated it 90 degrees in Picasa and adjusted the lighting.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
The DREAM Act restores every student's right to finish her/his studies and to continue dreaming.

I was tagged by @coffeedove For a '10 Things About Me' so here I go...
1 - I wrote a book about soapmaking #NaturalSoapChef
2 - I used to figure out video games and homework assignments while I was sleeping.
3 - I met my husband 29 years ago at a teen dance club. I was 16. We've been together ever since.
4 - I once asked my dad if my sister was adopted. He said, "One of you was. I don't remember which one...."
5 - I'm in a TV commercial for Trifexis heartworm medication.
6 - Every idiotic thing that I do or my family does gets posted on Facebook or Tumblr #Honest #CelebratingIdiotsEverywhere
7 - I used to draw beautifully. I can't do that anymore, but working on dolls and doll things satisfies me more than drawing ever did. I miss it and get frustrated that I can't do it, but I love the community I discovered because of the dolls. #MoreRewarding #WartenbergSyndrome
8 - I was so addicted to World of Warcraft that at one time I had two accounts and carried a journal in my purse with a log of all my auction items. #WoW #NightElf #Lvl80 #HighestLevelWhenIPlayed
9 - When I was a child I watched a documentary on the Dionne quintuplets. I had a dream I was one of them. Their handler had them performing onstage on tricycles. I could feel the handgrips in my hands and I could understand every word she said even though she wasn't speaking English to them. I had panic attacks for years afterwards.
10 - I recently dyed my hair blue and I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner.
The first assignment I've received this year in my industrial location class was the architecture assignment.
Basically, we had to go out and find a building that had a majority of the windows lit and photograph it.
Interesting mini story:
Right after I finished photographing this, I fell knee deep into a sewer in downtown Toronto.
All in all, this was a good experience.

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos for this assignment. I do have some simple editing techniques with editing, but this assignment I went with what I could do best for the photo and just did simple editing to enhance the photos life with color. I just came back from Kauai about 3 days ago, and this was a beautiful water fall that I took a picture of. I felt the photo was too bright, didn't show enough of the blue sky and green that flourished in the plants. I messed and adjusted with the exposure, brightness, temperature, highlights, sharpness, and shadows. I feel bringing the highlights up more made the blue sky pop. The saturation made the color brighter with the sky and greenery. The sharpness helped show the formation of the trees better. The meaning of the photo is to sit back and relax and take in the green atmosphere.

Taken for the Assignment 52 challenge- "Using lines for composition"
I was driving around the newer section of the cemetery and saw this cross against the beautiful sky. It's probably only about 12' high, but this perspective makes it look giant.
Once I started looking for lines, I couldn't stop! I posted several to my stream.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- The Write Inn & Hemmingway's Bistro, Oak Park, IL
Hemingway wrote: "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love," which seems like good advice, if traveling to Oak Park, or anywhere else.
I don't know what he thought about puns, or intentional misspellings, or if he would have wanted to try a flirtini martini. But I know what he wrote about oysters and about wine, so I'm sure he'd at least appreciate Hemmingway's wine list and oyster bar:
-- As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture...I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
--Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
And I think he must have had an appreciation of comfortable hotels also, as shown in this lovely passage:
--That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone,waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away, all other things were unreal.
My first ever assignment in
South America was a grand one - one month in Ecuador, one of the most incredible destinations I have ever known. I landed in Quito for a trip with Metropolitan Touring - www.metropolitan-touring.com - that turned inside out everything I thought I knew about South America.
Cruising La Pinta throughout the Galapagos Islands.
I can't wait to go back.
Flash Parker Freelance:
Odd sort of exercise, but effective. Will try this on my class tomorrow night. (and might try to improve my handwriting too - it seems to be suffering from lack of practice) ... - read more on {site_name}}: botheredbybees.posterous.com/assignment
Master of None
I always find a new interest every few months and I'd say I'm sort of like a jack of all trades, master of none. I've like many different things in my past and although I may no longer like them as much as I used to, they're all still a part of who I am. I think all the interests I've had have contributed to my personality and who I am today.
