It was a genuine pleasure to attend the opening of Kimma and Declan McGregor's "Love's Journey" exhibit at the Maison De La Chouette last night. The exhibit is a beautifully presented tale, told with images and prose, of the couple's very real love story. It is heart warming to see such joy, more still to share the experience in the company of friends.

When Danny planned a surprise birthday outing for me and told me to bring a camera, I quickly suspected Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington. The Mediterranean greenhouse gives a great floral show in February and March. Then Saturday, March 18, we received snow with white-out conditions and a travel advisory. We had to postpone the surprise until March 26. What I didn't know is that RBG Centre is running a frog exhibit, so I got to visit one of my favourite photo destinations AND have a wonderful surprise. Thank you, Danny!

In the ASTRA National Museum Complex, Sibiu, Romania
The Romanian cultural association ASTRA decided in 1897 to establish a museum of Romanian civilization as a "shelter for keeping the past". The "ASTRA" Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization (Romanian: Muzeul Civilizaţiei Populare Tradiţionale "ASTRA") is located in the Dumbrava Forest, 3 km south of Sibiu. Occupying an area of 0.96 square kilometers, it is the largest open-air museum in Romania and one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. It contains houses and workshops of the traditional Romanian folk culture from the pre-industrial era. Over 300 houses and other buildings are situated in the forest around two artificial lakes with over 10 km of walkways between them.
The exhibits are organized into six thematic groups: food production and animal husbandry; production of raw materials; means of transportation; manufacture of household objects; public buildings; an exposition of monumental sculpture. (Wikipedia)
I revisited the sharp-tailed sandpipers a bit later, and there were still some males exhibiting breeding behavior. They must have been quite well-rested and nourished.

Nine years ago, I arrived from Seattle with my partner Agnieszka, a little luggage, a camera and an open mind and heart to a new life in Poznan. Within the first week, I knew I was already falling in love with being here and the colorful autumn atmosphere was just beginning to whisper promises of so much more to come. I started out my adventure in Poznan by taking pictures of this new life abroad so I could show my family and friends back home how beautiful it was here and the discoveries I made along the way. Trams became a point of fixation and I loved sitting in the window seat watching my personal cinema unfold as it rolled through the city or glide past me from my pedestrian vantage point. The city streets that I walked everyday allowed me to feel the mood of the city and breathe its life with each passing season which inspired me to seek out stories of strangers that helped me understand my own walk in life. The atmospheric color of autumn and the chilling light of winter made me swoon with amazement and as each ended, I was already thinking about the next ones to come. Spring and summer brought longer days and a bounty of unexpected nostalgia as I was often reminded of my youth in Washington State and sometimes the light was so similar I felt like I had stepped back into my past and might be late for school. For almost seven years I lived in the heart of Jezyce, walking the streets, drinking coffee, buying my goods, and of course photographing daily life and simple moments that captured my attention and moved me. I opened a coffee shop in the Pasaz Apollo and for many wonderful years this gave me a reason to wake up at 5am and walk into the city chasing and photographing light every day of the year while getting lost in long shadows and the mysteries of sunrise and the early morning hours. For almost seven years I called Poznan my home and it is an honor to know that those seven years have shaped my life in extraordinary ways , inspired me to further pursue a life in photography and chasing light and that every moment of those years will remain firmly embedded in my soul along with a catalog of moments that make me smile at the memory of them. I arrived with an open heart and mind, but it was the people of Poznan who embraced me, made me feel welcome and that I belonged here, giving me new purpose in my new home. As always, thank you.

Flavia Julia Helena Augusta, also known as Saint Helena, Saint Helen, Helena Augusta or Helena of Constantinople (ca. 250 – ca. 330) was consort of Constantius Chlorus, and the mother of Emperor Constantine I. She is traditionally credited with finding the relics of the True Cross.
Family Life: Helena's birthplace is not known with certainty. The sixth-century historian Procopius is the earliest authority for the statement that Helena was a native of Drepanum, in the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor. Her son Constantine renamed the city "Helenopolis" after her death in 328, giving rise to the belief that the city was her birthplace. Although he might have done so in honor of her birthplace, Constantine probably had other reasons for doing so. The Byzantinist Cyril Mango has argued that Helenopolis was refounded to strengthen the communication network around his new capital in Constantinople, and was renamed to honor Helena, not to mark her birthplace. There is another Helenopolis, in Palestine, but its exact location is unknown. This city, and the province of Helenopontus in the Diocese of Pontus, were probably both named after Constantine's mother.
The bishop and historian Eusebius of Caesarea states that she was about 80 on her return from Palestine. Since that journey has been dated to 326–28, Helena was probably born in 248 or 250. Little is known of her early life. Fourth-century sources, following Eutropius' Breviarium, record that she came from a low background. Ambrose was the first to call her a stabularia, a term translated as "stable-maid" or "inn-keeper". He makes this fact a virtue, calling Helena a bona stabularia, a "good stable-maid". Other sources, especially those written after Constantine's proclamation as emperor, gloss over or ignore her background.
It is unknown where she first met her future partner Constantius. The historian Timothy Barnes has suggested that Constantius, while serving under Emperor Aurelian, could have met her while stationed in Asia Minor for the campaign against Zenobia. Barnes calls attention to an epitaph at Nicomedia of one of Aurelian's protectors, which could indicate the emperor's presence in the Bithynian region soon after 270. The precise legal nature of the relationship between Helena and Constantius is unknown: the sources are equivocal on the point, sometimes calling Helena Constantius' "wife", and sometimes calling her his "concubine". Jerome, perhaps confused by the vague terminology of his own sources, manages to do both. Some scholars, such as the historian Jan Drijvers, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in a common-law marriage, a cohabitation recognized in fact but not in law. Others, like Timothy Barnes, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in an official marriage, on the grounds that the sources claiming an official marriage are more reliable.
Helena gave birth to Constantine I in 272. In 293, Constantius was ordered by emperor Diocletian to divorce her in order to qualify as Caesar of the Western Roman Empire, and he was married to the step-daughter of Maximian, Theodora. Helena never remarried and lived in obscurity, though close to her only son, who had a deep regard and affection for her.
Constantine was proclaimed Augustus of the Roman Empire in 306 by Constantius' troops after the
latter had died, and following his elevation his mother was brought back to the public life and the imperial court, and received the title of Augusta in 325. Helena died in 330 with her son at her side. Her sarcophagus is on display in the Pio-Clementino Vatican Museum. During her life, she gave many presents to the poor, released prisoners and mingled with the ordinary worshippers in modest attire, exhibiting a true Christian spirit.
Sainthood: She is considered by the Orthodox and Catholic churches as a saint, famed for her piety. Her feast day as a saint of the Orthodox Christian Church is celebrated with her son on May 21, the Feast of the Holy Great Sovereigns Constantine and Helen, Equal to the Apostles. Her feast day in the Roman Catholic Church falls on August 18. Her feast day in the Coptic Orthodox Church is on 9 Pashons. Eusebius records the details of her pilgrimage to Palestine and other eastern provinces (though not her discovery of the True Cross). She is the patron saint of archaeologists. The names "Saint Eleanor" and "Saint Eleanora" are usually synonymous for Saint Helen.
Relic Discoveries: In 325, Helena was in charge of a journey to Jerusalem to gather Christian relics, by her son Emperor Constantine I, who had recently declared Rome as a Christian city. Jerusalem was still rebuilding from the destruction of Hadrian, a previous emperor, who had built a temple to Venus over the site of Jesus's tomb, near Calvary.
According to legend, Helena entered the temple with Bishop Macarius, ordered the temple torn down and chose a site to begin excavating, which led to the recovery of three different crosses. Refused to be swayed by anything but solid proof, a woman from Jerusalem, who was already at the point of death from a certain disease, was brought; when the woman touched a cross suddenly recovered and Helena declared the cross with which the woman had been touched to be the True Cross. On the site of discovery, she built the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, while she continued building churches on every Holy site.
She also found the nails of the crucifixion. To use their miraculous power to aid her son, Helena allegedly had one placed in Constantine's helmet, and another in the bridle of his horse. Helena left Jerusalem and the eastern provinces in 327 to return to Rome, bringing with her large parts of the True Cross and other relics, which were then stored in her palace's private chapel, where they can be still seen today. Her palace was later converted into the Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
The reliquary of Jerusalem was committed to the care of Saint Macarius and kept with singular care and respect in the magnificent church which Saint Helen and her son built there. Saint Paulinus relates that, though chips were almost daily cut off from it and given to devout persons, yet the sacred wood suffered thereby no diminution. It is affirmed by Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, twenty-five years after the discovery, that pieces of the cross were spread all over the earth; he compares this wonder to the miraculous feeding of five thousand men, as recorded in the Gospel. The discovery of the cross would have happened in the spring, after navigation began on the Mediterranean Sea, for Saint Helen went the same year to Constantinople and from there to Rome, where she died in the arms of her son on the 18th of August of the same year, 326.
