Eyes down and looking

This is the first time our plant has ever flowered in the 7 years of residence in our garden.

What marvels...truly an Easter miracle!! We're flabbergasted and overjoyed! :D

To date, 8 flowers bloomed, 6 more buds to go. How exciting!

i'm going to have to add notes to these pics. :)

Made with the Urban Zoologie line from Kaufman fabrics, for my nephew.

In cucurbit crops such as melons, only female flowers make fruit. Ethylene appears to play a role in the development of female flowers — research has shown that plants engineered to make more ethylene make more female flowers.

You can make out the stairs that you use to climb up and down the levels. Most of those walls are 4-5 feet high.

Still munching away on their favourite food, nettle.

Lens used Miranda 50 mm reversed on 50D at f4. Poor man's macro.

This really is as close as it gets and sat just in front of me at around 6 metres.

420mm was really to much but did generate an almost full frame image, the only reason for the slight crop...was to get rid of the surplus branches.

 

Very little editing here, just a tweak in ACR and saved as a jpeg for the web at 60% quality.

"The Venerable Losang Samten, founder of the Tibetan Buddhist Center of Philadelphia... creating the Kalachakra sand mandala in the lower level of the UA BookStore...

 

Samten has special permission from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, to create this intricate, multi-hued mandala, known as The Wheel of Time. He will be working on the mandala from about 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays, taking time during the day to discuss the project with interested parties.

 

Born in central Tibet, Samten and his family fled the country in 1959 and resettled in Nepal and later India. As a boy, he became a Buddhist monk and joined the Namgyal Monastery. In 1988, he came to the United States at the direction of the Dalai Lama to demonstrate the meditative art of sand painting. Since then, he has created sand mandalas at museums and universities around the world."

I try and support Foster Parrots by doing virtual adoptions of their unwanted pet birds. Foster Parrots is a 501 (c)(3) parrot sanctuary Rockland, MA. Their web page on virtual adoptions is here: www.fosterparrots.com/virtual.html

 

I am in my second year supporting Dora and Jewel. They are two beautiful little parakeets (I know they are beautiful... they sent me pictures!) that were unwanted by the families that made a promise to love them forever by taking them home. Luckily they were surrendered to Fosters...Not all stories end that well. Most don't.

 

I use some of the money I make on my art to do the adoptions which on small birds is $25 a year - plus I send them toys whenever I can. The parakeets are in a large enclosure and they live just like they would in the wild. In a happy loud boisterous flock! Also, while I send the toys in care of Dora and Jewel - I know they go where they go and another bird may get what I send. I'm fine with that. There are plenty of birds that need...

 

I'm telling the story because I want to sell this painting and directly adopt another small bird. If the buyer wants me to do a 'in the name of' gift donation and have the packet sent to them I would love to do that... Or if the buyer prefers that Fosters not know their name, address, etc I will adopt the bird in my name and forward all the information when I get it. Fosters sends a whole packet.

 

This painting is one of my most recent ones, done in February 2009. They style of dripping and throwing the paint was a result of low vision issues I am having. Hopefully with surgery I will have my vision back soon but until than I still want to be creative and these paintings have been wonderful for me.

 

And I am hoping they can be wonderful for a sweet unwanted little feathered thing too!

 

The painting is 2 feet by 2 feet on a 1/2 inch birch wood panel. I used a combination of acrylic tube paints and latex house paint. The sides have a combination of both.. with some opaque areas and some drippy splattered areas. I love the colors in this painting - some olives, yellows, navy and gray and white... and I think the combination is striking. From far away it looks like a large graphic but from close up you really start to see the detail. Actually from a distance the colors look a lot like my cockatiel, Tazzy! She doesn't have blue on her but the blue is a dark blue... I know they used to consider cockatiels in the small bird category.. If possible and if okay with the buyer I might try and see if there is a cockatiel available for adoption. So many times these cute little guys are treated as throw-aways - it breaks my heart. And they are the sweetest things ever...

 

The back is plain wood with a large saw-toothed picture hanger and felt circles. It is hang-able as is although it can be framed if you wish. I plan to sign and date the back.
