I started the stopwatch on this one, just out of interest, to see how long I was spending on each portrait. I know, it's not a race! 😉
Along with doggy interruptions and the occasional cup of tea making time, 2 and a half hours start to finish.

A child playing melodies in the street to help his family, thus they can find food. He is working in Damascus, which is still under the rule of Assad's Government, but does the Government care about its people?

Even though nature may “insist” for us to choose between HAPPINESS and MEANING, it does not mean that it’s “impossible” for us to have both.
I think that I cannot “always” have both HAPPINESS and MEANING at the same time but as long as I can find MEANING in my life, I know I’ll find HAPPINESS there too “at certain times” no matter how brief or long it lasts.
I know I am happy whenever I make a piece of art simply because I enjoy doing it…but what does that mean? It means I have to endure a life full of uncertainties and "false hopes".
Despite all this, if I must choose, I’ll choose MEANING as I’m certain that I cannot totally “just” be happy. I believe, just like any other feelings ( e.g. sadness, grief, etc.), HAPPINESS too shall pass…it always does. MEANING, on the other hand, is definite as it gives us purpose…the reason to live “no matter what”. I would rather know that there is a meaning for ALL the things I’ve been through in life than to be a happy person by ignoring my past that I cannot “just” forget.
However, though I choose MEANING, I don’t live in the present “entirely” for the benefit of my future because for all I know I may die today. I honestly do not desire a longer life. I just want to “live” the life I’m given by learning from my past and doing the best I can with what I have until the day I stop breathing (period).
This is a "dark background" version of the 13'th portrait piece (Winona Ryder inspired) of my SHADOWS series where face features are created and accentuated by deleting parts of a shaded area. Actual lines are only used around the "eye area".
The SHADOWS series is a collection of portraits intending to show emotions OTHER than those typical portrayal of complete happiness and joy as I hope to convey those I believe are “meaningful” part of someone’s life.
I finished this and rephotographed it on Oct. 23:

Just a quick sketch tonight, after getting our youngest to sleep. I had thought I'd do an homage to Escher’s three worlds--leaves floating on the water, trees reflected, and of course a carp beneath the surface. But I worked quickly and put in the artist's hand working a partial drawing, also I have a chickadee flying over the drawing, wings flapping to disrupt the surface and throwing his own little reflection into the work. It's a fun concept but I didn't really execute it well. It would take a good stretch of time to redo it larger scale and more carefully--time I probably don't have right now :-) so Ill just post the sketch.
They burn during the cold months and early spring so they don't interrupt or expose nesting or hiding animals to danger.
This area has a long history, and back in the days of the war of 1812 the burns were not controlled. In fact this area was part of a much larger area known as the Great Black Swamp. It stretched from just west of Cleveland, south into most of the counties that make up northwest Ohio, and west to what is today the area around Delta Ohio and as far north as Ann Arbor and all along the southern coast of lake Erie. it was an impassable morass wood a swamp land.
It only had one road thru it and it was only usable during the winter months when the ground was frozen. ( winters back then were much more brutal than today and presented a whole different set of problems ) During the summer months the place was rife with snakes, malaria carrying mosquitos , and conditions which make travel thru it almost impossible
During the war of 1812 it was decided that the infant United States had to make a more decisive presence in the state of Michigan ( controlled by the British with their strong point of Detroit. ) General William Henry Harrison was dispatched from Kentucky and made it into Ohio were he had to winter over. Directly in his path lay the Great Black Swamp with it's one road leading north. His movement north got completely bogged down in the swamp and the first assault was postponed. Most of the supply wagons, heavy artillery, and mounted troops literally got stuck in the mud. The assault did take place but at a later date with success.
During the middle and late 1800s the swamp was drained and turned into farmland. Today there are plans to restore as much of it as possible because it is necessary for the health of lake Erie.
Zut ! S'agit-il d'une interruption en plein labeur ou une de ces mivtopauses typiques du travail ?
Les paris sont ouverts. x)
to interrupt my winter series, here are some photos of our stay in Innsbruck last summer,
during the cycle world road championships "riding the heart of the alps" ...
A quick interruption of my new "season of orange" series. Why? As mentioned not too long ago, geeps in the street. In this case though, light power. I'm sure most people would find it necessary to bitch about the lack of freight, but anything street running is nice enough for me (though yes, obviously actual manifest would be appreciated). Whatever way you spin it, two more CSS 2000s head west down 10th St. Some last-minute decision making led to not following this crew, as I wanted to take my chances with the aforementioned Olive crew hitting the street with their freight to head west. We watched them do it, two hours later of course - well after last light had been reached.
Aside from the streetrunning, one would be VERY hard pressed to find any good reason to stand around in this neighborhood of Michigan City. Or, maybe you find entertainment in drug addicts high as all hell approaching you and watching a drunken domestic dispute unfold a few houses down from where you decide to shoot. I don't know, it's pretty hilarious to me most times...
I'd never seen these before - and they are certainly distinctive!
Thanks to Pl@ntNet for the identification.

NEW JERSEY 2017 BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR NJ’S EAGLES
by Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Program has released the 2017 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report. In 2017, 178 eagle nests were monitored during the nesting season. Of these nests 153 were active (with eggs) and 25 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. One hundred and ninety young were fledged.
In 2017 the number of active nests was three more than in 2016, but the number young fledged decreased by 27 from a record high of 216 fledged in 2016. The productivity rate this season of 1.25 young/active nest is still above the required range of 0.0 to 1.1 for population maintenance. Productivity could be lower this season for many reasons including weather, predation and disturbance to the nesting area. In 2017 nest monitors reported several instances of “intruder” eagles at nests which did disrupt the nesting attempts of several pairs. One of these “eagle dramas” unfolded at the Duke Farms eagle cam watched by millions of people. An intruder female attempted to replace the current female. This harassment interrupted the pairs bonding and copulation and no eggs were laid.
This year’s report includes a section on Resightings of banded eagles. Resightings of NJ (green) banded eagles have increased over the years, as well as eagles seen in NJ that were banded in other states. These resightings are important, as they help us to understand eagle movements during the years between fledging and settling into a territory, as well as adult birds at a nest site.
