A postcard on the back of which it states:
'Made Exclusively for The Jewel
of the Missions, San Juan Capistrano,
California, founded Nov. 1st. 1776.
Made by Dexter Press Inc.,
West Nyack, New York.
Children enjoy feeding the famous
white pigeons near the fountain and
pool in the front Mission Gardens.
The Bell Campanario is seen in the
background'.
The card was posted in Santa Ana, Cal. on Wednesday the 7th. July 1976 to:
Mr. and Mrs. French,
91, Maison Dieu Road,
Dover,
Kent,
England.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"We have been to visit lots
of places and this mission
is the oldest in California -
in fact these are the only
ruins I have seen here".
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 7th. July 1976, David Steel became leader of the UK's Liberal Party in the aftermath of the scandal that forced Jeremy Thorpe from office.
Auwahi 8-23-08 In the background is thriving kikuyu grass. The grass in the foreground has been dosed with a dilute mixture of roundup. Amongst the dead grass you can see the green leaves of newly planted a`ali`i.
These shots were taken during a native forest restoration volunteer trip a few years ago. It was a Saturday on the side of Haleakala, Maui, Hawai`i. I found these shots of old snags, lichen, and other aspects of Auwahi while I was looking through some misplaced files. I need to learn how to take shots in intense sunshine!
These old snags are emblematic of the change that occurred in this region over the past 200 years. Once an exceptionally diverse ecosystem this leeward slope of Haleakala Mountain on Maui this entire side of the mountain is now dominated by kikuyu grass that was brought in for cattle fodder. In addition to the grass, the cattle, horses, pigs, deer and goats all contributed to the demise.
Here and there, in pockets protected by the rough sharp rock of recent lava flows, or in gulches with sides steep enough that the cattle, pigs, horses, and deer found easier food elsewhere, botanists found remnants of the ancient forest. Species by species, plant by plant, seed by seed, these remaining plants have donated their diversity and genetic riches to a wonderful effort to restore some level of native population. It's an incredible project.
These shots are from a forest restoration volunteer trip that occurred on May 26, 2007. This project is restoring leeward upland forest through the Leeward Haleakala Watershed Restoration Partnership. This planting occurred on the property of the Ulupalakua Ranch. Since then this was part of the state's largest ever dedication of land to an environmental easement.

Hello everyone! Look, what I’ve drew this time! I had worked about midnight time and suddenly created these figures. I think there are funny, don’t you? On my opinion, the most funny of them is Santa Claus head – it seems like smiling burglar.
However, New Year holidays must be fun and my pattern can be match for decorating. For example, I’m going to use the patterns as websites backgrounds and this is an only first my idea I’ve caught.

A combination of footballer, farmer & scottie bobs on an apple background. Images initially hand drawn then digitally coloured on photoshop.
The neutral background does not distract from the main subject in the foreground. All the emphasis is on the leaf and not the uninteresting background.
