These are different galls on the same Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) in the Fagaceae plant family in the Oregon woods. The galls on the left look like "oak apple galls" of the California Gall Wasp (Andricus quercuscalifornicus) in the family Cynipidae of the order Hymenoptera, they grow on twigs. The galls on the right look like they belong to the Convoluted Gall Wasp (Andricus confertus) in the same family, they grow on the midribs of leaves. Different tree, but it's interesting that we have the same galls at home. (Near Susan Creek, North Umpqua River, Oregon, 14 August 2014)
I know, these are pretty crummy photos. It was cloudy and breezy, and this was my first day out with my new D7100 camera, after my D800 had an unfortunate accident. It took a while to get the settings the way I like.

Boy what a difference a day makes! Here's the back pasture after the first snow fall. A few days ago the pasture was bare and the horses still grazing.
Don`t talk to me in such euphoric way.
It`s not so easy.
If you think, everything is o.k. now, you are wrong.
You had to think about:
at first: REPAIR
than safe enough holding envirement
and protection
not at least clearity in contact

For once I do not post a bird picture. This little guy was swimming all over the lake in FWA this afternoon.
Although all the rooms of the Rone - Empire installation exhibition are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one of them. It features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

Buses are one of the best ways to see the countryside as they traverse roads that wind through the hills and towns, such as this one between Cuenca and Cañar. There are always people waiting for a bus coming from the other direction, both those dressed in indigenous clothing and popular brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch. Another common sight is the churches that stand proudly on a hill or among houses that seem to cluster around as though listening to a sermon. The churches lie testament to the strong catholic roots in this country that date back to the arrival of the Spanish, even as the indigenous and mestizo women standing side-by side help illustrate the social realities that even today are shaped by that same conquest.
