From the very, very, very great phototour two yesterday. I'm so glad I noticed this dried up, dead rose after I took a couple photos of fresh, bright and shining roses. I think I love this one the most.
>> Character.
Weirdly, when I looked closer on the rose on the second photo when editing, I thought it looked like some sort of chinese dragon.
Last night was a productive one, I suddenly felt the urge to arrange my furniture .. (at 3 a.m.) So I did it. My tomcat (simultaneously) felt the urge to just freak out, he ran around in the apartment like he was on fire, good thing we were both able to handle this act quietly. Still awake at half past four, cooking some hot chocolate, eating microwave popcorn and editing photos.
Too bad that I wished my friend lots of pretty snow, of course now it's snowing again ..
Vermont is a great place for weathered, peeling, rusty old barns. Love the character created by scores of years of exposure to rain, wind, snow, sleet, Nor' Eastahs, humidity, wind, etc.
sketch i did at work of myself and a friend as "pirate twins" [[insert long story about a Thomas Dolby song here]]
A rare self portrait made on a grey Winters day when the light outside was very poor. I dislike this grey time of year. If I could I would hibernate until Spring.

“Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.“

Shot with an old (1980's) Vivitar Series 1 70-210/f2.8, all shot 'wide-open'....not bad for such an old lens, although it always was a 'sharp/contrasty' beast :)
Explored June 26th 2011.
The gracious host & hostess of a Thanksgiving dinner gave out these small sunflowers to the guests. I let ours sit for about a week and a half, and they developed 'character'.
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.
I made these characters just for fun, cause I´ve been sewing so much these days that they are the only "people" I talk to sometimes =-*
I hope you like =-)
A Van Gogh I grew in our backyard. The slats in the background are the white picket fence. Thanks for the visit. Have a Great evening.
Brunos Sculpture Garden, Marysville. Nestled amongst the luscious rainforest setting lives a collection of unforgettable characters lovingly hand crafted by Bruno from clay and fired onsite in his kiln. Bruno has created a world rich with fantasy and insightful beauty derived from his imagination and inspired by his intrepid journeys to some the world most intriguing and remote regions.
Unfortunately on the 7th of February 2009 a bushfire raged through the township, decimating everything in its path without mercy and claimed the lives of our friends and neighbours indiscriminately. Bruno was extremely lucky to survive and the rest of the family are safe and well. Bruno's home and art gallery were unfortunately completely destroyed in the blaze.
Bruno chose to stay in Marysville to rebuild his home and restore the gardens. BrunoⳠpassion to share his love of art and the story of life with the world has not been damaged by the fires, in fact you would almost say it has been forged anew by the flames that nearly took it all away. (Excerpts from Bruno's Art & Sculpture garden website www.brunosart.com)
Character's featured Sachiko Tokifuji and Kyoko Nakahara.
POV: you're a school bully who started picking on the shy girl, but you didn't know she had become the girlfriend of the school delinquent over summer break.
I saw this guy in rural Dominica. His face was crying out for a photograph!

Clowns are comic performers who employ slapstick or similar types of physical humour, often in a mime style.
Clowns have a varied tradition with significant variations in costume and performance. The most recognisable modern clown character is theAuguste or "red clown" type, with outlandish costumes featuring distinctive makeup, colourful wigs, exaggerated footwear, and colourful clothing. Their entertainment style is generally designed to entertain large audiences, especially at a distance.
Modern clowns are strongly associated with the tradition of the circus clown, which developed out of earlier comedic roles in theatre or Varietéshows during 19th to mid 20th century.
Many circus clowns have become well known and are a key circus act in their own right. The first mainstream clown role was portrayed byJoseph Grimaldi (who also created the traditional whiteface make-up design). In the early 1800s, he expanded the role of Clown in theharlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes, notably at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the Sadler's Wells and Covent Gardentheatres. He became so dominant on the London comic stage that harlequinade Clowns became known as "Joey", and both the nickname and Grimaldi's whiteface make-up design were, and still are, used by other types of clowns.
The comedy that clowns perform is usually in the role of a fool whose everyday actions and tasks become extraordinary—and for whom the ridiculous, for a short while, becomes ordinary. This style of comedy has a long history in many countries and cultures across the world. Some writers have argued that due to the widespread use of such comedy and its long history it is a need that is part of the human condition.
The "fear of clowns", circus clowns in particular as a psychiatric condition has become known by the term coulrophobia
