Rain on Douglas fir tree.
Douglas fir, which has sometimes been called the Douglas tree, Oregon pine, and Douglas spruce, is not actually a true fir, a pine, or a spruce. Indicative of the taxonomic confusion about this tree, the scientific genus name Pseudotsuga means “false hemlock,” alluding to yet another kind of tree somewhat similar to this unique but important tree. Douglas firs are evergreen trees, meaning they keep their needle-like leaves year-round. There are two varieties of this species, coast Douglas fir and Rocky Mountain Douglas fir, which are differentiated by their habitats, growth rates, and physical characteristics.
When Douglas firs grow in dense forests, they self-prune their lower branches so the conical crown starts many stories above the ground. Trees growing in open habitats, especially younger trees, have branches much closer to the ground. Coast Douglas firs are the faster-growing and larger of the two varieties, and they commonly grow up to 250 feet (76 meters) in old-growth forests and can reach five to six feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) in diameter. Rocky Mountain Douglas firs measure about the same in diameter but only grow up to 160 feet (49 meters).

Hmm, forgot to adjust the time on this camera...
Athens, Greece felt like walking on hallowed ground with Socrates and Plato mingling quietly in the crowd espousing their philosophies. The trip to Turkey and Greece was a great educational adventure.
These are part of my collection of animal figurines. I used them as educational materials for my kids too.

In upstate New York, about two hours drive from the city, is a unique 'village' that is called the Watchtower Educational Center.
One of our educational ambassador dogs taken yesterday to listen to children reading in a local elementary school. This dog is a rescue, who lost his right eye in an accident. He is just 9 months old and an absolute credit to his handler.
The Evan Davies Building at 13 South Terrace was constructed in 1899 in the Federation Academic Classical style of architecture, purpose built for the Literary Institute.
In 1948 the Evan Davies Building was bought by the City of Fremantle and used as the Municipal Library. A new library was opened in the 1970s in the Civic Administration Building, adjacent to the Fremantle Town Hall.
From 2005 the building contains coffee shops on the ground floor and Kulcha Performance venue is located on the first floor.

Our handsome educational ambassador/therapy dog, getting ready to party in one of our elementary school reading programs. Unfortunately, he lost an eye in an accident when running with his pack. He started off as a neglected street dog, was fostered by a friend, who trained him to become a therapy dog. Great outcome for this lovable creature.
New Haven Railroad diesel electric locomotive trio of FA-1 # 0420 & FB-1, plus another FA-1 is seen while leading a manifest freight train by the Hills Grove tower SS139 along the Shore Line route in Rhode Island, ca 1950's. Today this area is known a Hillsgrove. You may observe the mechanical pipe linkages extending out from the tower to operate switch turnouts and perhaps signals.

School architecture of a certain age often has some lovely details, but photographing them can be fraught with danger in these times when using a camera in the vicinity excites suspicion and hostility.

Refugee camp outdoor exhibit in Grant Park. I didn't photograph the exhibit but I photographed the makeshift fence that surrounded it. It was covered by oversized banners made of photographs of refugees from around the world. I was completely moved to say the least.
This photoset is my attempt at recreating this fence.
"A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City
Guided by MSF aid workers, visitors are asked to imagine that they are among the millions of people fleeing violence and persecution in, for example, Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Sudan.
The exhibit is made up of materials used by MSF in its emergency medical work around the world, including emergency refugee housing, a food distribution tent, water pump, health clinic, vaccination tent, therapeutic feeding center, and a cholera treatment center.
It addresses questions such as:
Will I be safe?
What will I eat?
How do I find water?
Can I get medical care?
Where will I live?"
"...is an interactive video installation that invites the participant to move in front of a large video projection screen. As the person moves, his or her image is recorded by a video camera and passed on to a computer with special image processing capabilities. The person's silhouette or outline is extracted, assigned a color based on the instant that it was recorded, and projected onto the screen. Over time the images build up, creating a painting based on the movement. Simultaneously the colors are "rotated", creating an animation in "real time". Two hundred fifty six colors can be displayed on the screen at one time, from a palette of over 16 million. The palette and effects change in a pre-programmed sequence, repeating approximately every five minutes. Since people are always doing new things with the exhibit, the images never repeat. Each installation is unique. New software is constantly being developed and incorporated in new works. To date there have been over sixty Recollections systems installed worldwide. Recollections is an Artwork that is completed by the viewer; it is a collaboration. Even the most inhibited people seem to rise to the occasion and create beautiful images. Using it is an unforgettable experience for many, with educational benefits in the areas of color, form, movement, and computer graphics." (www.et-arts.com/reco.htm)

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Jiyu Gakuen Girls' School Myonichikan (自由学園明日館), the "House of Tomorrow," is the original building complex of Jiyu Gakuen, designed by renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Arata Endo, working as an assistant for Wright's project constructing the Imperial Hotel, introduced Wright to his acquaintances Yoshikazu and Motoko Hani, who founded Jiyu Gakuen. Impressed by the couple's self-reliant, Christian-oriented educational philosophy, Wright accepted to undertake the design of their new school.
Built of economical 2 x 4 wood and plaster, Jiyu Gakuen featured a central section with double-height volume and soaring windows facing south onto an open courtyard, with symmetrical wings on the east and west. It was built to child scale, with an architectural richness belying its budget. Myonichikan is also given a Japanese touch by Wright's extensive use of gray-green Oya stone (from Tochigi Prefecture) for pavements, columns and the lanterns standing in the corridors.
The Myonichikan consists of four buildings; the main, the east, and the west buildings and the auditorium. The main building stands with the two classroom buildings to the west and the east forming a U-shape. The buildings have such characteristics as extending horizontal lines to blend with the landscape, the Prairie School design, which can be seen in Wright's first golden age. The auditorium, designed by Arata Endo and capable of seating around 300 people, stands across the street to the south of the site.
After the main campus was relocated to Minamisawa (Higashikurume, Tokyo) in 1934, the original buildings were used by school alumni for various activities. A lengthy battle to save the aging structure was fought with the Japanese government in the 1990s. The government rewrote its regulations so that the building could be used for educational and cultural activities after being designated a National Important Cultural Asset in May 1997. After standing for almost 80 years, the building was in need of major repairs. Therefore, restoration work was conducted from January 1999 through September 2001. Since November 2001, it has been open to the public when not in use for weddings and other events.
Along with Yodokō Guest House in Ashiya, the school is also the only other example of Wright's work in Japan to completely retain its original appearance.
Here's a photo of an abandoned schoolhouse located on a ridge high above and south of The Dalles. I continuously marvel at how dry the climate is on the other side of the Cascades when compared to the Willamette Valley. In the Valley, structures like this rot away in a few years when left to nature. But in Central Oregon they last a century or more. This school even has the remnants of a swing-set left over. It's the kind of place where, if you actually did attend classes, you could honestly say to your kids, 'Boy, I had walk to school nine miles uphill, in snow, both ways, every day, when I was your age!'

A few minutes spent doodling what was on the desk next me. I volunteer to listen to children read aloud in the junior school where my wife works. Sometimes the children get a few minutes break while I am there so I while away the time sketching until they come back. This collection of resources caught my eye on a recent break. It is special equipment for a young man that is partially sighted and includes a Braille machine to help him learn to read as his sight is likely to deteriorate further has he ages.
