A Native American dancer at the Museum of Indian Culture's 35th Annual Roasting Ears of Corn Festival.
I stared for a long time at the display window and wondered how it was to live like her in the past as a Native American Princess. Have a great day, my dear friends!

Bellerophon. Bellerophon was a Lykian hero, and was claimed as a founder at Aphrodisias. Although Bellerophon does not appear in any surviving sources relating to the origins of Aphrodisias, epigraphic evidence of his role as a founder of the city was discovered. An inscription dating from the imperial period indicates that the demos of Aphrodisias honored Bellerophon with a statue as its founder, its “ktistes”. This is hardly surprising, since Bellerophon, having been banished from his native land, was one of those “wandering heroes” whose journeys beyond the boundaries of the Greek world would have given many cities the opportunity to claim him as their founder. Bellerophon, who was born in Ephyre, the ancient name of Corinth. He was a son of the Corinthian king Glaucus and Eurymede, and a grandson of Sisyphus (Apollod. i. 9. § 3 ; Hom. Il. vi. 155.). He is said to have received the name Bellerophon from having slain the noble Corinthian, Bellerus. In order to be purified from the murder he fled to Proetus, whose wife Anteia fell in love with the young hero; but her offers being rejected by him, she accused him to her husband of having made improper proposals to her, and insisted upon his being put to death. Proetus, unwilling to kill him with his own hands, sent him to his father-in-law, lobates, king in Lykia, with a sealed letter in which the latter was requested to put the young man to death. Lobates accordingly sent him to kill the monster Chimaera, thinking that he was sure to perish in the contest. But Bellerophon killed the Chimaera from on high with his arrows. lobates, being thus disappointed, sent Bellerophon out again, first against the Solymi and next against the Amazons. After returning in triumph from these seemingly impossible missions, he married Iobates’ daughter and succeeded him on the throne. So Bellerophon was strongly connected with Lykia, where he had his shrine in Tlos. But he was also closely connected with Caria through his great-grandson, Chrysaor, the initiator of the heroic colonization of Caria.

Description and Synopsis:
In this novel, the narrator, a New Englander, describes his travels at sea after he runs away from home. The cover of the novel depicts one of the narrator’s many encounters with the native people of the places he travels.
Further Notes:
William Stephens Hayward wrote novels that fed off of the public’s interest in adventure, crime and detection (Higgins 103). Some scholars attribute authorship of much of the scandalous “Anonyma Series” to Hayward; however, Bracebridge Hemyng and E. L. Blanchard also sometimes credited with these novels (Sadleir 8).

Arizona is famous for its Native American arts and crafts, jewelry, rugs, baskets and pottery. When tourists come to visit, they usually go home with some type of Indian craft, although these can be very pricey.
We had the good fortune to inherit these two pieces---a beautifully crafted basket and a squash blossom necklace made of turquoise and silver. These probably represent some of the finer pieces in my small collection. I believe the necklace is Navajo and the basket could be from the Pima tribe, although I have not had it appraised so I am merely guessing.
For information about the origin of the squash blossom necklace, please read this:
As I go to different places to photograph the landscape, I also look and document the plant life. Knowing the difference between native and non-native plants will give insights into how the land has changed. I've been photographing native and non-native plants and flowers for a while. This photo was taken close to where I grew up in the Mojave Desert.
I've been playing around with the color in these, decreasing the luminance of the areas I don't want to emphasize and doing a bit of color grading. I have no problems pushing my black and whites into unrealistic tones and contrasts, but I've always had a block when it came to color. I told myself to let go and use color like I use tones in black and white.
