I think this one represents the color of the blooms a bit better...I really hard a hard time getting the image to look as vibrant on flickr as it does in camera and on my computer..first ones I posted were really dull on flickr...so hope this looks OK ...I know all screens are different.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
HSS!

The excellent painter is Jan Veth (1864-1925).
On display at a large exhibition of Dordrechts Museum.

Always a thrilling display, Aerosuperbatics have been doing this for decades. I think their 'Excellence in Wingwalking' slogan is fairly recent, and it does raise the question as to whether any other standard of wingwalking would be survivable. 'Mediocre at wingwalking - but not for long!'
Apparently, anyone can have a go at this for a small fee (you pay them, not the other way round!). If you are interested, let me know and I'll book a slot for you. Don't all rush at once.....
One of the wingwalkers in the picture was interviewed befiore the show and said she got the job by applying to an advertisment. I imagine turning up for the interview was enough to secure the position....
The aircraft are Boeing Stearmans, if anyone is interested - very noisy as they have a similar engine and propeller to the T6. Texan/Harvard.
Texture is mine, model from Carolinebleu, flowers from Betty1952, mountains and lac from Khalan, thank you!
vain·glo·ry - NOUN: Boastful, unwarranted pride in one's accomplishments or qualities.
Vain, ostentatious display.
Hope this is pink enough :)
Ooh and I also wanted to throw in a plug for the fact that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness month. The purples in this picture are for that cause, one that is often overlooked and not given much attention because of its taboo nature.
What you can do:
You can criticise silence,
You can ignore silence.
What you cannot do:
You cannot sit even one fleeting minute
In silence.
Yet one day
It is you and you alone
Who will marry silence
And become inseparably one
With silence-sky.

Vardzia is a XII century complex, carved in the slopes of the Erusheti mountain range. It originally had over 3,000 rooms on nineteen floors, which offered space for up to 50,000 people.
In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!!
