I have a few favorite things in Green-Wood Cemetery that I revisit from time to time.

I am a Jew because, knowing the story of my people, I hear their call to write the next chapter. I did not come from nowhere; I have a past, and if any past commands anyone, this past commands me. I am a Jew because only if I remain a Jew will the story of a hundred generations live on in me. I continue their journey because, having come this far, I may not let it and them fail. I cannot be the missing letter in the scroll. I can give no simpler answer, nor do I know of a more powerful one.

and Exploring the Legacy

Etta has a special attachment to her Uncle Kahn; even his feet can make a good pillow for her :)

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.

My very first Macro Monday...this weeks challenge has satisfied my stationary fetish!

Appropriate uploading of three pictures for the third anniversary of The Mens Dept. It's such a pleasure to participate in this event, it's always so much fun!

This month, the couples pose Attachment, and singles, Stillness, are available at half off, though Trinetty shot the signature all off for Stillness! Enjoy!

Attachment Object One, Two and Three are a group of images based on rusted metal industrial relics found while digging in the garden, rather beautiful in their simplicity of form and function. They are the cast-offs of previous inhabitants, much like artifacts unearthed during an archaeological excavation. These particular objects were large, sharp nails or tools used to join one material to another. The title of this series is also a metaphor for our infatuation with things, our addiction to outcomes, and the detritus we may unwittingly leave behind.
