the bourne bridge, going over the cape canal... the current was so strong that night that small motorboats couldn't make it through....and since i was there with my girlfriend and two of my very good friends, it made me think of simon and garfunkel...
When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Currently in New York on vacation and I guess this was some kind of Easter party/celebration going on, on 5th Avenue.
I don't know how often they shut down the avenues in New York, but as a tourist in this big and busy city, it was a different experience to stand in the middle of the street with tons of people around you - and no cars!
Currently putting a lot of my creative efforts into the acoustic guitar :) sorry it is not the best haha
I believe these are new flowers of the White-flowering Current (Ribes indecorum) shrub in the Grossulariaceae plant family. It's growing on a north-facing slope where the sun rarely shines, though I waited and got just a bit of sunlight filtered trough the trees. This shrub looks similar to the more common Chaparral Currant (R. malvaceum) - but it seems more compact, it grows higher in the mountains on mostly north-facing slopes, and it has almost white flowers which open later in the season.

This was going to be 4 eyeglass cases. It might just turn into a little wall hanging though. It seems to have a mind of its own.
On our second visit to the Booth, we saw two current exhibitions. One featured the recent acquisitions from the last two years and the other was a room full of huge, distinctive portraits by Bulgarian born Ross Rossin from his recent tour of the American West.
The world’s largest permanent exhibition space for Western art is in Cartersville, Georgia at the Booth Western Art Museum.
Open since 2003 and located just north of Atlanta along I-75, the Booth is the largest museum of its kind in the Southeast and an Affiliate to the Smithsonian Institution. At 120,000 square feet, the Booth is an architectural wonder – designed to resemble a modern pueblo and constructed from Bulgarian limestone. The Booth’s permanent collection of Western art, Presidential portraits and letters, and Civil War art allows visitors to “See America’s Story” – the land, people, struggles, dreams, and legends – in paintings, sculpture, photography and artifacts. Sagebrush Ranch is an award-winning, hands-on experience and interactive children’s gallery.
Western art in Georgia, specifically Cartersville? Booth Museum was started by a family who call Cartersville home and have been Western art collectors for many years. It was their wish to share their art with the community, particularly young people who might not otherwise be exposed to art. The Museum was named for Sam Booth, a good friend and mentor to the founders of the Museum. Booth Western Art Museum is operated under the umbrella of Georgia Museums, Inc., which also includes Tellus Science Museum, Bartow History Museum and, coming soon, Savoy Automobile Museum.
Since opening, more than 3/4 million people have visited the Booth. As the buzz surrounding the Booth continues to grow, so does the Museum’s accolades, including being named the 2016 Escape to the Southeast Travel Attraction of the Year by the Southeast Tourism Society, 2016 Reader’s Choice “Best Western Museum” in America by True West Magazine, listed among “The South’s Best Museums” by Southern Living, top 10 ranking in “30 Must-See Art Museums In The U.S.” by thecareerartproject.com, and one of “5 U.S. Art Museums to Add to Your Bucket List” by thedailyquirk.com.
The Booth’s permanent collection covers more than a dozen galleries, showcasing legendary artists such as Frederic Remington and Charles Russell to contemporary masters Howard Terpning and Andy Warhol. Unique to the Booth, the Millar Presidential Gallery displays a portrait and original hand-signed letter from each U.S. President, George Washington through Donald Trump. Supplementing the permanent collection are several temporary galleries, hosting 10 to 12 exhibitions per year.
In addition to “Seeing America’s Story” in our galleries, visitors can experience American heritage through several annual events, plus lectures, programing, and exhibition openings. Each February the For the Love of Art Gala Weekend features live and silent art auctions generating funds needed to help support the Museum’s mission. Every March the Southeastern Cowboy Gathering features traditional Cowboy food, music and poetry. October brings the Southeastern Cowboy Festival & Symposium with Native American dancing, gun fight reenactments, art history lectures, a Western marketplace and much more. The museum also welcomes visiting artists and scholars to speak at twice monthly lectures and exhibition openings throughout the year.
The Tusk Lion Trail 2021
10 August – 24 September 2021
"The Tusk Lion Trail is a global celebration of African lions and the people who live alongside them through exceptional art.
27 life-sized lion sculptures, designed and made by some of the planet’s foremost artists, musicians and sportspeople, are roaming streets of London to highlight the threats currently faced by ‘the King of Beasts’, and to raise vital funds to support community conservation and livelihoods impacted by Covid-19 across Africa."
My current family as of today. ^o^
I'm gonna do Rheia's faceup and then find her a name.
The 3 out for a faceup are at Caroline's. ♥
The 2 LTF's have been ordered blank, I'm gonna do their faceups. LTF Chloe will be most likely using her sleeping faceplate moded, because I like the LTF Chloe, but her eyes are too high up in my opinion. It always shocked me, I mean there are plenty of gorgeous LTF Chloes out there, but I still think their eyes are too high up on the face lol. So I'm gonna mod the sleeping face with open eyes, same shape as the open faceplate except that the eyes will be a little more down on the face if that makes sense. XD
Also ordered Dollzone Rosen, but didn't put her on here because I don't like uneven numbers lol.

Crown Vetch (Coronilla varia)
DESCRIPTION: Crown vetch is an herbaceous perennial legume with creeping stems 2-6 feet long, and leaves consisting of 15-25 pairs of oblong leaflets. This species has a reclining growth habit and rhizomes that can grow up to ten feet long, thus contributing to rapid and extensive

vegetative spread. Flower clusters range in color from pinkish-lavender to white, occur in umbels on long, extended stalks, and bloom from May through August. Flowers produce long, narrow pods containing slender seeds.
DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT: Crown vetch (also known as "trailing crown vetch") is an exotic perennial frequently used as a ground cover for erosion control and as a green fertilizer crop. It is used as a bank stabilizer along roads and waterways. The plant's original habitat includes Europe, southeast Asia and northern Africa. The plant's distribution in the U.S. encompasses most of the northern U.S. east of South Dakota.
Crown vetch has been planted extensively in the northern two-thirds of the United States on road banks and other areas prone to erosion. This plant readily escapes cultivation; it may be found invading remnant prairies, woodland edges, agricultural fields, hayfields, pastures, and the banks and gravel bars of streams. It has typically been planted along roadsides and other right-of-ways, but quickly spreads into adjacent prairies and open fields. Crown vetch prefers full sunlight, but healthy populations have been found in partial shade.
LIFE HISTORY AND EFFECTS OF INVASION: Crown vetch is a serious management threat to natural areas due to its seeding ability and rapid vegetative spreading by creeping roots. Flowers appear from May to August and produce few to several seeds. Seeds can remain dormant and viable for over fifteen years.
CONTROLLING CROWN VETCH:
Very little research information is currently available regarding the control of crown vetch. Research has largely been restricted to the establishment and management of this perennial legume. As a result, a limited number of control measures have become available from the unpublished notes of active natural resource managers. Further field research is needed to adequately address this species. However, preventative measures can and should be implemented: do not use crown vetch for erosion control. Encourage your local highway department to stop using it and replace it with less invasive species for roadside use.

Mechanical Methods: In fire-adapted communities, prescribed burning in late spring can be an effective control. Burns may need to be repeated for several years to achieve adequate control.
Where feasible, late spring mowing for several successive years can control this species. Another technique is to mow twice every year: in June and in late August, corresponding with successive leaf-out periods.
Chemical Control: The herbicide 2,4-D amine (dimethylamine salt of 2,4--D) is a low volatility formulation that can be foliar-applied in early spring when crown vetch is growing actively. 2,4-D amine should be applied by hand sprayer at the recommended application rate on the label for spot application. Phenoxy herbicides are broadleaf-selective plant growth regulators that will not harm grasses, but precautions must be taken in the vicinity of non-target broad-leaved plants. To reduce vapor drift, use an amine rather than an ester formulation of 2,4-D.
A 2% active ingredient (a.i.) solution of triclopyr in water has also been successful in controlling large infestations. Like 2,4-D, triclopyr is advantageous because it is dicot-specific and does not affect grasses beyond some temporary browning.

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, translocated herbicide that can be foliar-applied as a 1 or 2% a.i. solution during early spring when the plant is actively growing. Glyphosate is nonselective, and care should be taken to avoid non-target plants. To insure good foliar coverage, the previous year's growth should be burned to eliminate duff accumulation and to expose new growth. A follow-up application of glyphosate may be necessary the following fall or early spring to combat regeneration from underground parts or seed.
The herbicide clopyralid has been used successfully to treat roadside populations of crown vetch. This herbicide shows promise because it is even more specific than triclopyr in the plant families it affects; specifically, this herbicide kills leguminous species but does not affect grasses and most other plant families. However, further research is needed.
When applying any of the herbicides described above, spot applications should be done uniformly with a hand sprayer to ensure that the entire leaf is wetted. Do not spray so heavily that herbicide drips off the target species. Native plants, left unharmed, will be important in recolonizing the site after crown vetch is controlled. Reseeding of native plants may be necessary where infestations of crown vetch are severe. Planting an intermediate cover crop may be appropriate.
All of these methods may need repeated applications over several years to effectively eradicate populations of crown vetch that are well established.
Was a hermit at home this week. Finished 3 books. Now I have "She's Come Undone" to start.
The Help was an page turner for sure; loved it.
The Oy joke books were an entertaining quick read as well; saw it on display at Barnes & Nobles, read a bit of it, found it funny, and decided to go borrow the book.
This is the current exhibition at the Ostlicht Gallery in Vienna (www.ostlicht.at), David LaChapelle's "Once in the Garden", running from June 2 to September 14, 2014.
I went and took some photographs of the photographs but in a way that I concentrated on certain parts of the original and also included the reflections caused by the glass and this way adding some new elements to the frame.
