We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
"For, to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation;
it is a specific form of interaction."

One of my abstract works I painted in the last few days. This is composed of two different ones. I'm very grateful for the suggestions and support from my Flickr friend Andrew.
Zooming in on my latest origami tessellation 'Interaction'.
And because it is Sliders Sunday, I did it a color-treatment.
HSS everybody!

This is how my origami tessellation 'Hexagon Love' looks like after the altering process.
It is one of my favorite creations so far and its name is "Interaction".
Here you can see a more detailed view.

I had been observing and photographing the Great Gray Owl on the right for about two hours, including as it made several strikes (at least two of which were successful). In this instance it seemed to be mantling (spreading its wings) as if over prey, and I was waiting for it to lift off. Suddenly the owl on the left in this image appeared ‘out of nowhere,’ flying low and fast and closing distance quickly. The owl on the right is just raising its wings to respond to this approach. I held down the shutter release and the following 10 images recorded the dramatic interaction that followed…
{For clarity, I will mention that no baiting, taped calls, or other unethical practises were used to obtain this and the following eleven images — just observation, patience, and a measure of luck.}
In „Interaction of Color“ schreibt Josef Albers: „In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.“
Stelle mir einen Vortrag von Josef Albers am Pult des Raumes meines vorherigen Bildes vor und nicht nur die Stühle sind besetzt, der Raum ist voller begeisterter interessierter Menschen ...
denn alles Gleiche, was man in verschiedenen Kontexte stellt, bekommt durch die Umgebung einen neue, andere Bedeutung ... warum soll es bei Farbe anders sein ... und Rot hatte für Albers immer eine besondere Bedeutung ... deshalb ist seinen roten Werken aus "Homage to the Square" ein ganzer Raum gewidmet und die Komplimentärfarbe ist zufällig draußen ...
Meisterwerk(e) der Farbanalyse
»Wenn jemand ›Rot‹ sagt (als Bezeichnung einer Farbe) und wenn 50 Personen zuhören, darf man erwarten, dass 50 verschiedene Rot in ihrem Bewusstsein auftauchen. Man darf sicher sein, dass all diese Rot verschieden sind.«
Bereits an diesen beiden ersten Sätzen, mit dem das Meisterwerk der Kunsterziehung "Interaction of Color" beginnt, wird klar, wie komplex die Wirkung von Farbe sein kann sowie deren visuelle Wahrnehmung.
Erstmals 1963 bei Yale University Press als limitierte Siebdruckausgabe mit 150 Farbtafeln erschienen, ging dieser Text ab 1971 als Taschenbuch mit wenigen Farbtafeln in Druck.
Seither wurden mehr als eine Viertelmillion Exemplare in verschiedenen Ausgaben verkauft. Dieses einflussreiche Handbuch und Lehrmittel für Künstler, Dozenten und Studenten erscheint nun, in einer aktualisierten Übersetzung und deutlich erweiterten Ausgabe.
Neu eingeleitet von Heinz Liesbrock sind zudem rund 60 illustrierende Farbstudien abgebildet, mit denen Albers wichtige Prinzipien und Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Farbe und ihrer Wirkung demonstriert.
Dieses Handbuch bietet nach wie vor ein unentbehrliches Wissen für alle, die sich mit visueller Kommunikation beschäftigen möchten.
JOSEF ALBERS (1888, Bottrop–1976, New Heaven, Connecticut) war als Künstler, Pädagoge und Farbtheoretiker ein Pionier der künstlerischen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist bekannt für seine umfassende Werkserie Homage to the Square (1950–1976). Albers lehrte am Bauhaus, am Black Mountain College und an der Yale University.
J. A. was a German-born artist and educator. The first living artist to be given a solo shows at MoMA and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, headed Yale University's department of design, and is considered one of the most influential teachers of the visual arts in the twentieth century.

Certainly interesting and exciting to view the interaction of these owls as one would do close flyovers upsetting the other. It didn't last long and other than a few pulled feathers no damage was done.
Thank you for viewing.

Several elephant herds came to drink near a bridge across the river in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
We had a great time observing their interaction especially as there were calfs of different ages.

"The Happy Family" is a renowned painting created by the Dutch artist Jan Steen. Painted during the 17th century, Steen was known for his ability to capture scenes of everyday life with a touch of humor and wit. "The Happy Family" exemplifies his style and showcases his talent for storytelling within a single image.
In this painting, Steen depicts a bustling household filled with various members of a family engaged in different activities. The composition is lively and intricate, presenting a chaotic yet harmonious scene. Steen's attention to detail is evident as he portrays each character with unique facial expressions and body language, adding depth and personality to the painting.
At the center of the composition, a jovial couple sits at a table, surrounded by their children and other relatives. The scene is filled with laughter, lively conversation, and playful interactions. The family members engage in various activities, such as eating, drinking, playing music, and engaging in games. Steen's use of vibrant colors and intricate brushwork further enhances the joyful atmosphere of the painting.
Despite the apparent chaos, "The Happy Family" also carries a deeper message. It serves as a reminder of the importance of familial bonds and the joys of shared moments. Steen's portrayal of the diverse characters and their interactions reflects the complexities and dynamics of family life. Through his portrayal, he highlights both the humorous and challenging aspects of domesticity.
"The Happy Family" is a testament to Jan Steen's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of human experience. It continues to be appreciated for its rich storytelling, vibrant imagery, and its ability to evoke a range of emotions from viewers. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of art that celebrates the joys and challenges of family life.
Introducing another of my wild friends, Pancake, the dunnock.
Pancake is one of an enthusiastic and animated troup of dunnocks among the larger flock of different species that hang around our garden. I can't tell the dunnocks apart, except for Charlie (uploaded previously: www.flickr.com/photos/pogspix/52476354419) and Pancake, who both take food from my hand.
Pancake is recognizabe because of her beautiful markings ... and her habit of being right at, and nearly under, my feet in her quest to be at the front of the queue for food---I have to be extremely careful as I walk around the driveway, to ensure she doesn't live up to her name!
Here she is, waiting a bit more patiently, on a snow-glazed log a few weeks ago.
jones and chai
with 6 dogs we love to watch interactions.
chai the smooth saluki loves little old jones the basenji best and constantly wants to play with him. neck bites and play bows.
jones is overwhelmed. he runs and either hides beside/behind leon or me, or sits on the back of a chair where chai won't get him.
[the other interaction chai has is with marina the podenco...he bosses her around.]
chai and jones both sleep with me when chai wants to.
the other night I lifted the covers and the two were sleeping snuggled next to each other.

Five LED spotlights in dark room, a red dictionary, and the X-Pro 1; raw image processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra photo editor. This 'camera book' symbolises the correlation or interaction of knowing and seeing. It is just like the Egg-and-Chicken causality dilemma: difficult to determine what comes first.
One of the things that I like when I'm out in nature are the various interactions that happen, and because often I'm the only adult in the stream playing with rocks, that tends to make people curious, and today was no exception.
This stone sculpture came together in only about five minutes, with a bit of time deliberating whether or not there should be a third stone to top it off, only to then decide that simplicity is the key after all.
This is Anne who is also a painter and textiles artist who I enjoyed some time talking with today.
Looking in to the hot, Summer evening sun. And towards an industrious spider casting a delicate, but wide web, to catch her dinner.
Great horned owl siblings.
As I arrived, these youngsters were ”socially distanced” (several feet apart), then one flew over and proceeded to nuzzle and groom the other one. A sweet moment.

We came across this group of ladies early morning in Kabini, Southern India. After having a good dusting she had a good smell of us. It's always a joy to watch the interaction between Elephants.

A pair of tree swallows, a male and a female, were starting a home in the nest box pictured here. While photographing their activity, I anticipated one of them landing on the box and the other nearby. However, they both flew on by and landed on the barbed wire, one on either side of the box.
