I have wanted one good shot of a Brown Pelican for at least 10 years. I still don't have one. I don't care about White Pelicans, so naturally I have plenty of shots of them. flic.kr/p/LoM39h
On the way back from Olympic National Park in Washington, we stopped at the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge just before the Oregon border. It was a pleasant place to hike, and had easy access to this Pacific inlet.
Willapa is a National Wildlife Refuge located on the shores of Willapa Bay in Washington, United States. It comprises 11,000 acres of sand dunes, sand beaches, mudflats, grasslands, saltwater and freshwater marshes, and coniferous forest, and 40 Brown Pelicans! I still don't have a good image of a single one, but I have 41 really mediocre ones at an annual convention plus one cool log. (All "my" pelicans are in groups of 40! Go ahead, count them. flic.kr/p/KBgXyf)

Ranging from a beautiful artwork on pots to clothes, Rajasthani designs are considered to be ranked among the top when it comes to the expose of ancient artwork accompanied with new age fashion. Rajasthani Mehndi has a good deal of demand in the market of henna designs and has become part of occasions such as weddings, birthday parties, baby shower etc.
While a good Mehndi design reflects fashion and decorations, few mass of people also consider it as a symbol of auspiciousness and divine. Rajasthani Mehndi design has a good blend of curved figures and carefully crafted accurate handwork to match your desires and occasions. The traditional way of using henna leaves for making design cones and applying them with different shades of color is a hot trend or fashion fiesta at present.
Indian Paksithani Mehandi
Mehndi or henna has been a popular form of skin decoration in Indian subcontinent countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although it is a very old practice in these countries, since 1990s it has also become popular in many western countries being counterpart of tattoos.
Mehndi is applied on some special occasions like Diwali, Teej, Eid, weddings, birthday parties and many other auspicious festivals. Mehndi design is applied on hands or feet of a woman and it is common that to apply henna on palms where due to presence of high levels of keratin the color appears in its dark form. Fresh henna leaves are grinded and oil is added to make cones which are used professionally for applying Mehndi designs. The origin of Mehndi as a part of celebration has been found to be of ancient Indian origin and beautiful patterns are still applied to brides at the time of wedding ceremonies. Although Mehndi design still refers to the common term of applying henna on the body parts, there exists various forms and types of designs that can be further categorized based on the features and their origins. The popular designs at present are found in the form of Rajasthani, Arabic, Pakistani, and Minakari etc.
Arabic Mehandi
The word Arabic itself describe us that this art belongs to the land of "Arab." As we know the Arab's are very artistic with their culture and tradition, the same thing we could see in their art of mehndi designs.
Arabic mehndi designs are very beautiful and complete the most part of the hands and legs. In this style we can use different styles of mehndi like Black mehndi is used as outline, fillings with the normal henna mehndi. We can also include sparkles as a final coating to make the henna design more attractive.
Brides – in India, Pakistan and even in Africa – love Arabic mehndi designs and love getting the design done for their weddings. The Arab culture, especially when it comes to brides is quite popular across Asia and women in India are adopting more of Arabic mehndi designs than of Indian mehndi designs. The design usually does not cover the entire hand and leaves a lot of gaps b/w it.
That's what makes Arabic mehndi designs stand out and appealing to Indian women. Be it for marriage or a festival or any special event, Arabic designs are among top 3 mehndi patterns in the country. To get inspiration on it, you can check out the below gallery.
Gilding Glitter Mehandi
Gilding, Glitter and Gem work is a recent popular innovation in Indian bridal technique, adding dazzle and glamor to henna. These techniques are spectacular, yet easy to master. In India, these adornments are often called Zardosi because they emulate the fabulous gold embroidered, bejeweled bridal sari fabrics. As upper class Indian wedding celebrations expand to a week or more, the modern bride may wish to have her adornment match two dozen saris or more, with an artist re-applying dazzle twice a day. These transitory techniques can be used on their own, at the time of henna paste application, or to ornament the henna stain. They are designed to be "of the moment", to please the camera's eye, and delight the wedding guests.
If you're working a festival, and you're competing with other henna artists, gilding gems, and glitter will make your henna stand out from the competition! There will always be potential clients who would like to be adorned, but who don't want a lingering stain. Offer them these techniques! There are always little children who want adornment, but whom you should NOT henna for health reasons.
greetings flickr’ites, a little something to share with you from last weekend.
on a spectacular Saturday evening and after a scrumptious dinner on the outdoor Patio of the Grenadier Restaurant, we decided to take a walk to High Park Zoo and see what the animals were up to.
it’s a great little zoo, you can get up-close and personal with the creatures and even though most had already returned to their housing for the evening by the time we arrived, this one was still rarin’ to go, prancing ‘round the yard, showing off.
as you can tell, a real ham that absolutely loves the camera, loves to pose and entertain the crowd. this almost prehistoric looking creature was the hit of the show. it certainly caught my attention and definitely made our trip worth-while.
if you’ve never been, you’ve just got’a come and visit. High Park is a nature sanctuary in the midst of our great city. a paradise in a jungle of concrete and steel. more than 400 acres, 161 hectares in all, with many untouched nature trails and wild-life habitat including rivers, lakes and ponds. attracting more than a million visitors each year, Toronto’s High Park has become a favourite tourist destination for nature lovers from around the world.
just another reason why I call Toronto my home.
