"Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna af Södermöre (Swedish: [ˈaksɛl ²ʊksɛnˌɧæːɳa] (About this sound listen); 1583–1654), Count of Södermöre, was a Swedish statesman.[1] He became a member of the Swedish Privy Council in 1609 and served as Lord High Chancellor of Sweden from 1612 until his death. He was a confidant of first Gustavus Adolphus and then Queen Christina.[2]
Oxenstierna is widely considered one of the most influential people in Swedish history. He played an important role during the Thirty Years' War and was appointed Governor-General of occupied Prussia; he is also credited for having laid the foundations of the modern central administrative structure of the State, including the creation of counties."

Anton Graff (Winterthur, Nov. 18, 1736 - Dresden, June 22, 1813) - Heinrich III, count of Reuss (1775) oil on canvas - Neue Pinakothek Munich (Temporarily at Alte Pinakothek Munich)
Dopo un apprendistato a Winterthur, Graff divenne presto un ritrattista ricercato e lavorò come tale ad Augusta, Monaco e Ratisbona. Visse ad Augusta fino al 1764, e nel 1765 si stabilì definitivamente a Dresda, dove fu nominato pittore di corte nel 1766. Commissioni di ritratti dalla sua cerchia di amici illuminati lo portarono ripetutamente a Berlino. Nel 1789 ricevette una cattedra all'Accademia di Dresda. Accanto a Johann Friedrich August Tischbein, Graff è considerato il più importante ritrattista tedesco della seconda metà del XVIII secolo.
Enrico XIII Il conte Reuss (1747-1817), della stirpe più antica, è ritratto nell'uniforme di ufficiale di stato maggiore di un reggimento di fanteria austriaco "con un colore blu di distinzione o distinzione". Tre anni dopo suo padre fu elevato al rango di principe imperiale, titolo che la persona qui raffigurata ereditò come principe ereditario nel 1800. In questo ritratto abbiamo uno dei primi esempi moderni di ritrattistica realistica. Nel 1804 Graff dipinse un altro ritratto del soggetto, questa volta a figura intera in un ampio paesaggio visto dal basso contro un cielo nuvoloso, interamente basato sul modello inglese.
After an apprenticeship in Winterthur, Graff soon became a sought-after portrait painter and worked as such in Augsburg, Munich and Regensburg. He lived in Augsburg until 1764, and in 1765 he settled permanently in Dresden, where he was appointed court painter in 1766. Portrait commissions from his circle of enlightened friends brought him repeatedly to Berlin. In 1789 he received a professorship at the Dresden Academy. Next to Johann Friedrich August Tischbein, Graff is considered the most important German portraitist of the second half of the 18th century.
Henry XIII Count Reuss (1747-1817), of the oldest lineage, is portrayed in the uniform of staff officer of an Austrian infantry regiment "with a blue color of distinction or distinction." Three years later his father was elevated to the rank of imperial prince, a title that the person depicted here inherited as crown prince in 1800. In this portrait we have one of the earliest modern examples of realistic portraiture. In 1804 Graff painted another portrait of the subject, this time full-length in a wide landscape seen from below against a cloudy sky, based entirely on the English model.
A portion of a beautiful garden I chanced upon. While sometimes macros help appreciate the individual beauty of a flower, and scenic shots of the whole garden give a sense of its breadth, I think this "proportional representation" best sums up the variety that the gardener arranged in such a way as to create this beautiful, inspiring scene for passers-by (and bees) to enjoy!

One week ago, on 27 December 2016, nine of us took part in the annual Sheep River/Priddis/Turner Valley Christmas Bird Count. Our time was spent travelling by car, driving the backroads SW of the city and calling in at several farms.
I took part in this Count last year but had missed it for a few years before that. I believe I had only ever done it once before (December 2007?), a few years ago, and that time I was with friends covering a different section of the count circle. I remember it as being very slow and extremely unrewarding. This time, like last year, our area was in the centre of the count circle and I'm so glad I decided to go again.
A great stop was at Rod Handfield's place (this photo was not taken there). Some of us go there very occasionally on botany trips and he always has the best mushrooms and other fungi growing in his forest in the fall. Rod and his wife have such a beautiful cabin there. A Gray Jay gave us a few photo opportunities there, which was appreciated. Not the best lighting, but usually these birds are difficult to photograph, so it was nice to see one close. Rod is always so delightfully hospitable!!
Thanks so much, Donna, for driving half of us - so much appreciated! This also meant that we were lucky enough to see two tiny Northern Pygmy-owls after the Count, too. A beautiful sunny day really helped - not all that cold (for Alberta!). A lot of snow everywhere (almost 8"), but that was OK, as we did so little walking. A great day!
I will add the list of species seen, in a comment box below.

I bet his Mom doesn't tell him to count sheep when he can't sleep because sheep are apart of his nightmares now. No one was hurt. The ewe dumped the little guy, then jumped over him, obviously, to avoid trampling him :)
January. A visit to Norrköping and a photo of the famous "Strykjärnet" building. February. Windy visit to the rocky beach at Torö. March. A different take on the old tree on a misty day. April. The fields of blooming anemones. Always a spectacular sight every Spring. May. The second annual Tulip Festival in Handen was very colorful. June. A visit to Landsort on a hot Summer day. July. New architecture in Stockholm. August. Always nice with a Summer portrait. September. At the motor racing track watching Crosscart was a first. October. Autumn tree at my favorite beach. November. I had to include a photo from my 100 Days Of Darkness project. December. A typical Swedish Winter view.
My tenth Winter Count for Utata.
Here's the 4th comic strip featuring a new character called Blood Count. (Get it? Wakka wakka!) My goal will be for him to die at the end of each comic strip, but I'm open to the idea of him living as long as he's miserable.
I couldn't decide whether to call him Blood Count or Vlad the Imp. I liked both equally.

Count John VI of Nassau-Dillenburg (22 November 1536 – 8 October 1606) was the second son of William the Rich and the younger brother of William the Silent. He has a special place in the history of the Netherlands because he can be seen as the ancestor of the royal house now ruling in the Netherlands.
John VI of Nassau-Dillenburg was a Count of Nassau in Dillenburg. Other names he had were Jan VI or Jan de Oude ("John the Elder", to distinguish him from his 2nd son, "John the Middle", and his grandson "John the Younger").
John VI was born in Dillenburg, the second son of Count William I of Nassau-Dillenburg and his second wife Juliane of Stolberg-Wernigerode and brother of William I of Orange. He was the principal author of the Union of Utrecht.
