As part of the recent Brighton Festival there were 2300 diyas (lights in clay pots) laid in the Royal Pavilion Gardens. The Diyas were made by Brighton school children, each representing a soldiers life. This was installed as one of the Dr Blighty themes in respect of Britains Centenary Anniversary of the First World War and the Indian Soldiers that were nursed at Brighton Royal Pavilion when it was converted to a 722 bed hospital.
Marg loves pots of colorful flowers. They aren't too far from the back door, so l stepped out and whipped my new one handed camera technique into action. Here they are after a little fiddle faddling on my part.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

If you follow the crowd, you will likely get no further than the crowd. If you walk alone, you're likely to end up in places no one has ever been before. Being an achiever is not without its difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt. The unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they'll simply say it was obvious to everyone all along. You have two choices in life. You can dissolve into the main stream, or you can choose to become an achiever and be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no else but you can be.

Ms. Red Breasted Grosbeak was happy to sit and swing next to the bird bath sink. She sat on the swing a good 15 minutes just enjoying her time alone. We all need time alone every once in a while.
I hope you know that I appreciate your comments and visits. I may not get back to you quickly but I will try my best

I saved a rose from a bouquet I had and the little pot is one I purchased in northern Ontario.
The jury for the American Artists Profession League has selected Clay Pot to hang in the 94th Grand National Exhibition at the Salmagundi Club of New York from November 7th through November 18th.
Blown away and very happy!
Meanwhile, devastating fires are burning here with evacuations taking place. The fires are approximately 50 to 75 miles from us and currently tearing through the Tahoe National Forest, consuming over 40,000 acres . . . We are safe but there is often smoke in the air with very poor air quality.

La ofrenda – the offering!
These are the tiny clay pots I mentioned with my two earlier post's… which were used to make blood offerings to the lake hundreds of years ago during Pre-Hispanic times… and if you are lucky you can still find one of these little antique pots on the shores of Lago de Chapala today, but only during the dry season.... when the lake has receded a few meters back.
A few days ago, when the lake was very choppy, boiling and angry looking I was told by the natives that back in Pre-Hispanic times (not anymore), whenever the lake was in such a state, the Nahuatl's would say "the lake wants blood" and they would fill tiny hand-crafted clay pots with blood and conduct a ceremony at the shores of this lake where they’d throw these miniature clay pots into the lake.....
When I went to check on the angry lake the next morning it was totally calm and at peace. Don’t ask me the oblivious question, I have no idea what happened during the night!!! ((((: LOL
I love the threedimentional effect... how the little pots pop up from the image here (((((:

The live crab chosen by the "Zi Char" attendant was meaty & firm. Rika suggested to have it cooked with black pepper. The dish turned out to be delicious. Overall, other dishes were just as good. However, we could be disappointed sometimes because the cooks' skill is inconsistent.
Black Pepper Crab: This crab was cooked with a difference. The additional ingredients include chilli padi and curry leaves. ER felt that some pork lard was used.
Male crabs are more meaty then their female species. However, If you prefer to feast on roe then the female is a better choice.
