The day before the race, Luis, Brad and Beth went scuba-diving at a nearby mining quarry. My morning activity? Take photographs of Christy's flowers in their backyard!
I am not a well know artist by any means however one “artist” thinks my work are impressive enough to use as his own.
Recently, I discovered a Bangladesh born artist currently living in Toronto, Canada has copied a major part of my biography from my site, www.alfredng and only changed the year, name and the country. The worst is he uses my works as his own!
This is his link www.nandonikfinearts.com and click on About Us and check.
This came to me as a complete shock and but why? I just think it is so sad for someone thinks what he does is not good enough and to steal someone else?
I checked on his site he runs an art school at his studio for kids and was using my site to promote his class. He does displays his own works at his site and they are very different from mine. I would appreciate some advice as how to deal with this impostor?
Rapportés du jardin d'une amie l'année dernière, ces iris fleurissent pour la première fois chez moi
Taken last year from a friend's garden, these are blooming for the first time in mine
We had our first Iris flower in the garden yesterday, and I was impressed by the complex structure and color patters on the inside of the flower. So much beauty in such a simple life form. Photo was taken in Ottawa, Canada.
Bearded Iris, also called "German" iris, bring texture and colorful blossoms to sun loving gardens. These are the iris with the huge familiar flowers in late spring.
Iris is a genus of about 260–300, species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species.

Comment: Latin genus name for irises comes from Greek word 'iris'('viris'), which denotes rainbow or bow and reflects beauty of colors and shapes of these flowers. In deed all twelve species and subspecies of this genus, which grow in Slovenia in the wild, are very beautiful. No wonder, gardeners have cultivated these plants long time ago and have developed many different new forms. Lists of different hybrids and garden forms are known already from ancient times. Many symbols and coat-of-arms, particularly in the history of French dynasty, are based on the plants' flower shape.
Interestingly one of our species growing in the wild, Iris x germanica, is actually an old garden plant, which escaped from gardens back to wild nature. It is actually a hybrid of an unknown origin, or at least of an not yet agreed upon origin. Today it can be found scattered almost in all regions of the Alps as well as in other European mountains and regions. Due to its efficient vegetative propagation it frequently forms large groups of plants with tens of their large (up to 9 x 6 cm), deeply violet flowers. Very beautiful encounters!
