I'm using this mess of a photo because of the situation...
One of the trucks has just arrived back on Treasure Island from Burning Man.
The camera that took the picture is a very dusty iPhone.

The Gems of Brazil - - ca. 1863-1864
Martin Johnson Heade (1819 - 1904)
Obsessed with hummingbirds from a young age, Martin Johnson Heade traveled to Brazil in 1863-64 to study and depict the birds in their natural setting, because a majority of the species could only be found there. Titling his series of paintings “The Gems of Brazil,” Heade used brilliant colors to show the jewellike beauty of the birds’ feathers.
Believing that no artist had successfully captured the rich iridescence of hummingbird feathers or butterfly wings found in the tropics, Heade planned to create a series of images that would compete with scientific illustrations of exotic species by John James Audubon and others. He painted these sixteen works as part of a planned group of twenty "Gems of Brazil," so-called for the popular association of hummingbirds with sparkling, precious jewels.
Heade's paintings give a sense of the hummingbird's life cycle. Some of the pairs court, while others tend to eggs or offspring. The backgrounds often feature the mountain scenery of Brazil, where the artist visited in 1863, integrating the birds and butterflies into their natural environment. Heade's attempts to raise money to create a book of prints based on the canvases failed, perhaps because he presented an artistic view of the birds rather than simply portraying them as specimens.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

Because it has been a busy week for me and it's a Friday, you get to watch a video instead of seeing my HDR work from my vacation ;]
This was on a ride in the Seuss Landing Island. Sorry about the bad filming, there was just so much to capture! Notice the beautiful sky in the video :)
Because of their similar color, size and affinity for milkweed as a host plant, queen butterflies and monarchs are often mistaken for each other in their various life stages.
Both species are members of the Nymphalidae family and derive chemical defenses against predators from their food plants.
Once you look closely, it’s not very difficult to tell the difference between monarchs and queens. For a great tutorial on how to tell the difference between the two species, visit: texasbutterflyranch.com/2012/12/07/queen-monarch-caterpil...

These are my Buffy shoes, because they way remind me of Buffy Summers. This is, perhaps, because I am a dork.
They cost me a buck twenty five, because I have the greatest job, and the greatest manager, in the world.
I am too girly for my own good sometimes...
Never regret a photo that you took, because matter how you look at it, its beautiful.
You don't go around taking pictures of just anything. Each one has a true meaning. Either when you walk up to that capturing moment and say, "This photo is going to make it to EXPLORE!!", or "This is pretty." or "I want to remember this". Each one has a true meaning. and to me this photo represents that you are not the only one out there starring at that rainbow, you are beautiful, and never alone.
Because love is always beautiful.

Because there is only one mannequin in the Dumptique, it wears several wigs and many accessories. For a place that gives its items away at no cost, it has lots of fun, quirky displays.

So I have this thing about masks. Perhaps because I sometimes wish my world was a little different. Not in the people who are in my life but rather where and how I live my life. Some times I pretend I am everything I want to be and nothing I'm not. Is this indulgence in Masquerade healthy? Probably not. Let's just say that the mental health industry would have a field day with my brain. Do I care? Most emphatically not! So I spend time in a make-believe world when the real world overwhelms me... its not like I stay there indefinitely, just long enough to regain the facade of sanity. A bit like Alice, with a touch of the Mad Hatter and a heaping dose of Mary Poppins, Pollyanna and Scuttle...
