This is one of the shots from last year, A Dead Tree series, I would call.
I took many shots during the last three months of 2015 than the first nine months. I never post any of them because I was doing a lot of experiments with various subjects, angles and compositions. I was so eager to get out of my comfort zone, and I was tired to see myself repeating.
In Italy where my husband is from there is a tradition to give small packages like soft bags with colorful candy inside. This was a bigger one with the hard shell around and candy inside of it. This is a miniature bag, super cute blue, meant for a baby boy. My son was born 13 years ago but I still keep this as a souvenir and memory from that time.

When looking at the beautiful stone sculptures, one wonders who baptized this stone paradise the Devil's Garden? Not a hint of devilish, but rather a uniquely beautiful work of art from nature. Walking around in the Devil’s Garden is completely relaxed, because this little natural wonder is hardly ever approached and we were alone during our visit.
Deutsch:
Beim Anblick der schönen Steinskulpturen fragt man sich wer dieses steinerne Paradies Teufels Garten getauft hat ? Kein Hauch von teuflisch, sondern vielmehr ein einmalig schönes Kunstwerk der Natur. Das umher wandern im Devil‘s Garden ist völlig entspannt, denn dieses kleine Naturwunder wird kaum angefahren und bei unserem Besuch waren wir allein.
Here I was baptized in 1944, comforted in 1958 and married for the first time in 1966.

I didn't realize until the landscape changed, but I certainly was lucky to have seen such amazing clouds on my road trip. This is definitely one of my favorite color photos.

... 1 km from the Aras River, which separates Armenia from Turkey. The Ararat massif is only 31 km away.
Legend: King Trdat III imprisoned Gregory the Illuminator on the small hill of the Arax Valley in 288 and kept him there for 13 years in order to dissuade him from the Christian faith.
As the torture failed to bend him, he cured the king of a disfiguring skin disease, Trdat III and his family were baptized in 301 and decreed that the Armenians - as the first people in history - should adopt Christianity as their state religion.

... 1 km vom Fluss Aras entfernt, der Armenien von der Türkei trennt. Das Ararat Massiv ist nur 31 km entfernt.
Legende : König Trdat III. sperrte 288 auf der kleinen Anhöhe des Araxtals Gregor den Erleuchter ein, hielt ihn dort 13 Jahre gefangen, um ihn vom christlichen Glauben abzubringen.
Da ihn die Folter nicht beugen konnte, er den König von einer entstellenden Hautkrankheit heilte, ließ sich Trdat III. mit Familie 301 taufen und verfügte, dass die Armenier – als erstes Volk in der Geschichte – das Christentum als Staatsreligion annahmen
This castle owes it's current decor due to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the building during the 19th century.
The building can be traced back to the Roman periods. It is reported that in 780 Charlemagne could have passed by the place on his way back from Rome, where he went to have his son baptized by the Pope.
In the 1970’s from the 20th century the castle was transformed into a hotel, only to close its doors in the 1990’s. The castle remains unused to this day.
The castle is built in different styles; including Moorish and Indian. It has 365 rooms and every room has a different theme.

To Learn from Animal Being
Nearer to the earth's heart,
Deeper within its silence.
Animals know this world
In a way we never will.
We who are ever distracted
By the parade of bright
Windows thought opens:
Their seamless presence
Is not fractured thus.
Stranded between time
Gone and time emerging, We manage seldom
To be where we are:
Whereas they are always
Look our from
The here and now.
May we learn to return
And rest in the beauty
Of animal Being,
Learn to lean low,
Leave our locked minds,
And with freed senses
Feel the earth
Breathing with us.
May we enter
Into the lightness of spirit,
And slip frequently into
The feel of the wild.
Let the clear silence
Of our animal being
Cleanse our hearts
Of corrosive words.
May we learn to walk
Upon the earth
With all their confidence
And clear-eyed stillness
So that our minds
Might be baptized
In the name of the wind
And the light and the rain.
--- John O'Donohue
Baptized in the fading rays of a late afternoon sun, an old barn stands testifying to its past that no one sings songs for any more. When we reach a certain age, our past becomes more relevant to us and less to those who are younger.
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!

Today is Sunday, June 2, 2019 and I'm happy to say I'm back in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (USA) and getting in some personal photography time before the 3 back-to-back workshops I have to conduct starting on June 3.
Here's a sunrise scene of Mt. Moran reflecting in the beaver pond in north of the town of Jackson.
One of the things I'll be doing today is trying to locate a new grizzly bear in northern Jackson Hole area known as Felcia.
During the last week in May, she distracted a boar after hiding her two very young cubs. Once she accomplished this, she returned to the place where she hid the two cubs only to find one. The second has not be found to this date as far as I know so I'm going to have to contact Bernie Scates who lives here and see what he knows. He's the goto person here in Jackson Hole when it comes to knowing where the different grizzlies are.

"I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love"

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

I had discovered that a lot of my ancestors were born in the Hertfordshire village of St. Paul's Walden, an hour north of central London. It lies within such beautiful countryside. I visited there during a trip home to the UK.
Indeed, some family members lived in a house right next to the entrance to All Saints Church seen here. I have some wonderful old pictures of weddings at the church in the early 20th century. I also found family members buried in the churchyard. It was a glorious day to visit. Winter yes, but bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky.
During my research, I was surprised to discover that the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon was baptized at this church - the mansion of St. Paul's Walden Bury within the area, is owned by the Bowes-Lyon family.
All Saints is a 14th/15th century medieval church, with later additions.

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (Seville, baptized June 6, 1599 - Madrid, August 6, 1660) - The Three Musicians (1616-1618) - Oil on canvas 90.4 x 113.2 cm. - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Prima che Diego Velázquez fosse nominato pittore di corte a Madrid nel 1623, creò numerosi dipinti di genere a Siviglia con elementi di natura morta, i cosiddetti "bodegones". Francisco Pacheco elogiò le straordinarie capacità del suo allievo e genero in questo presunto genere inferiore e ha inserì i suoi quadri in una tradizione con la pittura antica. Quanto successo avessero già allora i »bodegones« è dimostrato dal fatto che solo cinque versioni dei "Drei Musikanten" sono sopravvissute. Sebbene l'immagine di Berlino sia considerata di altissima qualità, a causa dell'illuminazione incoerente e dell'incoerente spazio costruzione, l'esecuzione a mano messa in dubbio da Velázquez. Altri autori, invece, vedono questo come un'indicazione che si tratta di uno dei primi dipinti sopravvissuti,
Tre giovani musicisti si affollano intorno a un tavolo scarsamente apparecchiato in una stanza stretta e buia. I loro volti distintivi, modellati con forti aree di luce e ombra, risaltano con forza dalle superfici del muro grigio scuro dietro di loro. Sorridendo maliziosamente e tenendo in equilibrio con la mano sinistra un bicchiere pieno fino all'orlo, il ragazzo in piedi di fronte al tavolo chiede allo spettatore di ascoltare la musica concitata dei suoi compagni. Il musicista in fondo al tavolo canta alla chitarra con la bocca spalancata e gli occhi roteati in estasi, mentre un violinista coetaneo cerca di accompagnarlo. Sulla tovaglia verde sono disposti diversi oggetti a mo' di natura morta. Su un tovagliolo di stoffa bianca ben piegato da sotto il quale fa capolino un lucido piatto d'argento, giace un rotolo croccante. Un coltello è infilato sotto di esso, a portata di mano. Un altro coltello è bloccato nel mezzo di una scatola piatta e rotonda, accanto alla quale c'è un bicchiere a forma di imbuto mezzo pieno. La scena è completata da una scimmietta accovacciata dietro il ragazzo a sinistra e con in mano una pera. Imitando il ragazzo, guarda avanti fuori dal quadro.
Before Diego Velázquez was appointed court painter in Madrid in 1623, he created numerous genre paintings in Seville with still life elements, the so-called "bodegones." Francisco Pacheco praised the extraordinary abilities of his pupil and son-in-law in this supposedly inferior genre and placed his paintings in a tradition with Old Master painting. How successful the "bodegones" were even then is shown by the fact that only five versions of the "Drei Musikanten" have survived. Although the Berlin picture is considered to be of very high quality, due to the inconsistent lighting and the inconsistent construction space, the hand-painted execution cast doubt on Velázquez. Other authors, however, see this as an indication that it is one of the earliest surviving paintings,
Three young musicians crowd around a sparsely set table in a narrow, dark room. Their distinctive faces, modeled with strong areas of light and shadow, stand out powerfully from the surfaces of the dark gray wall behind them. Smiling mischievously and balancing a glass filled to the brim with his left hand, the boy standing in front of the table asks the viewer to listen to the excited music of his companions. The musician at the end of the table sings on his guitar with his mouth wide open and his eyes rolling in ecstasy, while a violinist of the same age tries to accompany him. On the green tablecloth, various objects are arranged in a still life style. On a neatly folded white cloth napkin from under which a shiny silver plate peeps out, lies a crispy roll. A knife is tucked under it, within easy reach. Another knife is stuck in the middle of a flat, round box, next to which is a half-full funnel-shaped glass. The scene is completed by a small monkey crouched behind the boy on the left and holding a pear. Imitating the boy, he looks ahead out of the picture.

i hope you will have time to view large,(especially the third shot). today some of my storefront friends graduate!!! I am going to see five of my treasured students start their next life. I will miss these ones, as always, the miracles of everyday are the ones that leave me in awe and with certainty that the world is a wonderous place. acts of everyday faith, miracles in motion, Dan, Jerrica, Michelle, Jamie, Elle. Dream big dreams, live big lives.
Baptized my newest nephew on Saturday. I like how the longer exposure here caught the flow of water. I set the basic settings on the camera, and gave it to one of my sisters to capture what she could, since I am doing the baptizing.
"I'm really over the cryin' thing, wipin' my tears
Who cries anyway? Spread like disease all over me
We did ungodly ghastly things, last night I mean
Who's God anyway? You're mine any day
It's burning, take me
I wanna feel your power, this final hour, tell me
Are you losing yourself? Will you lose it for me?
Are you losing yourself?"

John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the waters of the Jordan River - 1435 Masolino da Panicale - Collegiate Castiglione Olona (Varese)
Battistero - affreschi di Masolino da Panicale 1435
Baptistery - frescoes by Masolino da Panicale (1435)
Nato probabilmente dalla trasformazione in cappella gentilizia di una torre angolare del preesistente castello, il Battistero deve la propria celebrità al ciclo di affreschi con la Vita del Battista, datato 1435 sul sottarco e realizzato da Masolino da Panicale.
Sulle pareti della cappella si susseguono gli episodi più significativi della vita di san Giovanni, dall’Annuncio della sua nascita all’anziano Zaccaria, alla sepoltura. Le scene si compenetrano sfondando le pareti con architetture illusionistiche e paesaggi che sembrano realmente aprirsi davanti agli occhi dell’osservatore. Gli affreschi, destinati a una visione ravvicinata, sono ricchi di particolari raffinati, per i quali Masolino ha accompagnato l’uso della prospettiva scientifica ideata a Firenze da Filippo Brunelleschi con lavorazioni attinte all’oreficeria, secondo procedimenti caratteristici dell’arte tardogotica.
Sulle pareti del Battistero i protagonisti della storia sacra si mescolano a quelli dell’epoca di Masolino, con l’inserzione di ritratti e di riferimenti ai costumi e agli avvenimenti contemporanei, in cui Branda ebbe un ruolo di spicco. Il Banchetto di Erode si tramuta così in un convivio quattrocentesco, mentre Battesimo di Cristo, ambientato in un paesaggio che si perde all’infinito, è una scena carica di lirismo.
Probably built after the transformation in gentilitial chapel of a corner tower of the previous castle, the Baptistery owes its celebrity to the cycle of frescoes representing the Life of Saint John the Baptist, dated 1435 on the under-arch and executed by Masolino da Panicale.
The walls of the chapel contain the most significant episodes of Saint John’s life, from the annunciation of his birth to his old father Zachary to his burial. The scenes interpenetrate themselves without respecting the real distribution of space, breaking through the walls with illusionistic architectures and landscapes that really seem to unfold in front of the observer. Designed for a close-up look, the frescoes are an extremely refined work, rich in details, that Masolino achieved through an expert mixture of languages and techniques. He used the scientific perspective conceived in Florence by Filippo Brunelleschi, but also processes typical of goldsmith’s art, thus obtaining precious effects, typical of late Gothic art.
On the Baptistery’s walls the protagonists of sacred history are mixed together with Masolino’s contemporaries: the frescoes include portraits as well as references to 15th century events, in which cardinal Branda played an important role. The Banquet of Herod is then turned into a Renaissance symposium, while the Baptism of Christ, set in a landscape fading away in mountains, is a scene full of lyricism.
