i can't express how happy i've been to hear helicopters overhead this week -- they've been carrying giant bags of water to the firelines, trying to keep these disastrous fires from getting worse, and dwindling them down to embers.
my eternal gratitude.

Sidewalk Heroes is a series where I use the pavement opposite to my home as a stage to photograph the passers-by in their everyday life.
The architect Gerard Moerdijk, called this hall in which the frieze was placed, the Hall of Heroes. A historic frieze (92 m x 2.3 m), which consists of 27 wall panels, was mounted against the walls. It depicts important events from the Great Trek. The frieze was designed by four South African sculptors: Hennie Potgieter, Peter Kirchhoff, Frikkie Kruger and Laurika Postma. The plaster models were shipped to Italy where it was sculpted from Italian Quercetta marble, by 40 Italian chisellers and 6 Italian sculptors. The completed frieze weighs approximately 200 tons.

Hero is a well known name in the Swiss food industry, especially for their conserved fruit and vegetables products. This iconic building is inspired by the food cans/tins produced by the company.

Overall I'm really satisfied with Snow White! I think she's so beautiful, her eyes and lips are fantastic! Her brows are a little thicker than I like, but I can deal. I love the hair! It seems more true to the film than sort of the longer 'page boy' cut the classic doll has. I love how her dress has hints of the 16th Century, but also a 30s floral print. While I love the cape, I am disappointed that it isn't removable, and I'd kind of like some sort of lace trim on the collar. Nothing over the top, just a small little trim. I am disappointed that she doesn't have accurate shoes, despite being shown wearing them in the artwork, but I guess DS feels you must be a Snow Queen to get original shoes and not Princess Snow.
First of all, if you haven't already, please read the previous picture's story.
Have you ever been blessed with a moment like this in your life... maybe with a sibling, or maybe with a friend? What a moment this young man made with his little brother... for both of them. It's the little bother peering around his brother to see the other two walking off and feeling totally secure... and a winner, because he got the prize, his brother's love.
Personally, I feel ashamed that I don't have more memories like this between my own brothers. What if we all committed this entire week to looking for and reaching out to people who are in our lives today that need a hand on the shoulder... can you do that? It doesn't need to be a sibling or even a friend, it can be the picked on co-worker, the kid on your children's sports team that is always left outside the popular clique, or even the man or woman standing on the street corner discraced to the point of begging. All it takes is a tender heart that can choose the right thing to do..... life changing!!

I enjoyed working with this smaller heart shaped card, and it's a nice change from red and green!

A shadowy street scene at night features two buildings with brightly lit windows and colourful graffiti on the roller shutters of the storefronts. The atmosphere is moody, with deep blues and subtle glows emanating from the windows.

The firefighters who were fighting the forest fires were real heroes. All day long they were flying those small planes and helicopters to extinguish those fires. There were up to 5 planes in a row in a 5 minute intervall which got their water from the bay of Peguera. This lasted three days long until the fire was moving north due to the heavy winds. Then the fire fighters got their water from other spots.
I took a lot of images of those planes, so I decided to put some of those into a collage, so I don't borrow you the next to weeks with images of fire fighting planes ;) For more details, you can view the image in large. Tomorrow I will return to "regular" shots of the island again.
Have a great start into the weekend, folks.

My little furclad friend did a search mission last night.
Long story, but he did a good deed indeed.
Shana, Claire, and Jennifer are extraordinary ordinary people who are bona fide heroes. It's not every day that you meet three vivacious, intelligent, transparent, kind, wonderfully empathetic, competent, and uniquely beautiful women relaxing on a picnic blanket who are each in their own right heroes. They'd never say that they are because they are all humble. I was invited to sit with them and spent two and a half hours in sublime enjoyment, sitting on their blanket conversing and soaking in the beautiful sunlight. I was refreshed with their life force and what I call "the bounce." Which is essentially positive reciprocity. I don't have to persuade because the photos of them that ensue speak power to truth. Their heart for humanity, care for each to include a stranger (former stranger now) is uncommon grace. Shana teaches at Howard University a historical black college/university where she's changing lives in young people of an entirely different demographic. She's perfect for it. Then there is charming Claire who is full of life, passion for learning and sharing, and she's super eloquent and equally funny, but she also defends and ensures justice for devastated women who've fallen victim to or should I say survivor to violence and sexual assault. Here's the heroic catch, she does it through a not-for-profit organization. She's an attorney who left the lucrative attraction of corporate law after earning her Juris Doctor from one of the best law schools in the United States, to help some of the less fortunate. That's heroic! She's also an incredible listener, and travels extensively taking in and giving away her love to and for humanity. And then there is the intrepid and warm Jennifer who teaches 8th graders. She's super cool and brave enough to step away from her current teaching job to set sail into uncharted waters of new career opportunities in which she can touch even more lives. She's also very accomplished in yoga and soon to become an instructor as I recall. These three women are pillars of inspiration. They live out something that gives me greater faith in humanity and our inherent capacity to do go for others. In meeting them, I was unexpectedly finding heroes. Washington DC, 18 March 2018.
Villans are the people who don't know how to be the Hero...
Finally took some new photos of Hero! I forgot how pretty she was, which is sad because she was my favorite doll for a very long time and the first doll I got to hand pick out. :) Also you may now fangirl about her shirt. This is my first test of printing iron-ons. I don't know the the artwork all credit for that goes to the artist.
