18th century
Paoay, Ilocos
Ivory, 14k rose gold jewelry on the Niño, polychrome, glass & wood virina, brass, velvet, mirror, other materials
Ivory Niño: 18.5 x 6 x 4 cm (7 1/4 x 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 in)

This fine example of a Sleeping Child figure is masterfully carved from a solid piece of highly prized ivory, including the arms. Only a master carver can successfully achieve perfect proportions, anatomical correctness, naif expression, and those delicate spaces between the limbs and the main body. He is richly adorned with an elaborate skull cap, bracelets and loin cover made of 14k rose gold in ‘binandili’ cut with tambourine design. Beautiful age cracks on the material are unfeigned signs of genuine old age. The Niño lays on a soft, red velvet bed in a 19th -century French style wedding glass dome brimming with gold-plated brass metalwork and mirror decorations. Every Christmas Eve, the Niño Dormido of households is taken out of the virina for the traditional “pahalik,” as family members would take turns kissing the Holy Child’s feet, similar to such rites performed in churches.

this is the result of late night adventuring in downtown Tampa. my friend Ashley and i were extremely bored the other night and driving around downtown Tampa and came across this building out of nowhere and both decided it'd be a good idea to stop and check it out. if you look close you will nothing that there were lights actually shining on pieces of colored glass the make the affect on the building...pretty sweet. we found A LOT of cool stuff to shoot that night, but me being dumb and not bringing my tripod out for late-night shooting posed a problem. i wanted to use as less ISO as possible for this picture so i wouldn't have to deal with a lot of distortion. my substitute for a tripod was my Canon bag (which came in handy the entire night...note to self: always bring a tripod!). shutter speed was set to 1"6; iso100; f/9.0.
i really want to go back very soon, and this time YES, i will definitely bring my tripod along. lesson learned. =P
in between the dunes and the work in coro i took a trip to sierra de san luis. it's only about 30 minutes drive from the coastal city but the scenery is so different, lush green mountains with a comfortable as opposed to stifling heat. i spent the night at a place called finca el monte which is a tiny place in the too-small-to-be-called-a village of santiago. it's run by a french couple who live there with their young son and a variety of animals. and as soon as i arrived i was struck by how friendly everyone was. the parents were helpful and chatty and instantly made me feel welcome. their son, who was less than 5 years old, spoke to me in a mixture of french and spanish and couldn't wait to show me his etch-a-sketch. their dog, chinotto, was a big, over-excited ball of energy which started following me everywhere. even the cats, which i have an allergic aversion towards, wanted to purr up against me. and then there were the kittens, not quite as conversational as the humans, not quite as doting as chinotto, but damn were they cute. even with the sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes i couldn't help but play with them. you know you're in a good place when both the humans and the animals are full of love and kindness.
here's the original
Damn, I didn't think what photo number it was today before I took my photos, or I would have figured out some kind of inuendo. . .but I spaced so, sorry :P
I am actually quite pleased with this! Shocked? Haha. I never expected the flare, and I think it is pretty cool. Somehow I've been getting lucky with those flares lately.
I've been pretty stressed. My husband just got his vacation approved, and we will be spending an entire week in April going through our stuff and either packing it, throwing it out or saving for our garage sale in May. We are HOPING to put our house on the market this summer, but wow - such a huge undertaking. So yeah, stressed. Not that I wasn't before, haha ;)
Anyone know what these delicate autumn blooms are?
They were growing out atop thin tall stems about 4.5 ft tall, in a littl ebrownstone front yard garden on 20th street in Chelsea. Their leaves were large -- like squash or zucchini leaves, and theaves were thick and lower to the ground. Then, these thin little stems shot up high and exploded into these lovely little white blooms, dogwood-like in shape, three bifurcated white petals, bright yolk-yellow stamen and a hard pea gree-pea shaped pistil in the center.
Why am I describing them in such detail when you can just look at the photo? Well, when I spotted these, I was with my dear friend Maureen, who happens to be completely blind. Because she lost her sight in her mid-twenties, she can "see" though my descriptions (if they are detailed enough) and through touch (if she's allowed to palpate the object). Maureen stayed with me for a few days this week while attending a conference on pedestrian rights and walkable cities (a big issue for people with visual impairments -- think about it!) Because she lives in Chcago, we don't get to see each other much. And so I'm not adapted to her way of existing in the world. It always takes a bit of time to readjust to doing things in a way that both supports her fierce independence and enhances her experience of our environment. Once I get my groove back, I'm pretty good at it, because I don't mind slowing down & describing what's going on around me as it's happening. Try it -- you'll find it really enhances your experience, too!
This time, our exploration was especially difficult because we were in NYC (dealing with the subway -- TIMES SQUARE transfers -- with a blind woman, guide dogs, and throngs of self-absorbed New Yorkers) and especially interesting, because I was determined to be both guide and photographer. I wanted to continue "seeing my way" and share that with her. She's always very admant that her friends not alter their behavior because of her -- so I decided to continue carrying my camera & not worry about that being insensitive. The results were interesting. I found myself focusing on things at her hand-level. I also found myself appreciating my sight and being less discirminating about and tough on what I shot.
That's enough of my bable on this topic for now... More later perhaps... Lots of thoughts on this...
Walking into the George Washington National Masonic Memorial was...awesome, in the true sense of the word. We struck the right time to arrive, as we were the only people visiting at the time (though I imagine not many know about the Memorial). One feels that to speak in a regular voice would be a violation, somehow. Sotto voce seemed more appropriate for most of our visit (but then, you all know what a hero of mine Washington is, so perhaps that made me more sensitive to the place).
The elegant and beautiful Memorial Hall, at 100 feet long, 66 feet wide, and 51 feet high and sculpted with great talent and care, is simultaneously ennervating and humbling. The design is clearly meant to lead the visitor's eye to the enormous, 17-foot bronze of George Washington. The effect is truly awe-inspiring, quieting, and throws one into immediate contemplation and consideration.
The Masonic Memorial is far, far better and more fitting than the Washington Memorial most of us are familiar with. It's quite grand, something of the sort we do not see in this country (thankfully), but for Washington...Well, it seems appropriate on one hand, but on the other, I do wonder what the man himself would think! After all, Washington much preferred his farm and businesses to war and politics.
Still, the veneration, so long as it does not devolve into idolization and deification, is merited. Few, few men since have been so beneficial to America (and the world) or so worthy of emulation. It is something even England's King George III recognized, doubtless with great amazement and awe.
The Masons intended to "express in durability and beauty the undying esteem of the Freemasons of the United States for him in whose memory it shall stand throughout the coming years." The designers and builders have truly accomplished their goal.
By the way, there is a beautiful video about Washington narrated by David McCullough here. It'll cause misty eyes, if you love America, if you long for men who even aspire to be so fine and selfless as Washington to arise again.
This is a coin I have as memorabilia for my service in the U.S. Army. The reverse side has the Military Police Corp symbol.
This shot was inspired by today's Daily Shoot challenge, which was "#ds92 It's Presidents Day in the U.S today. Make a photo with a patriotic theme for the country you call home."

Les Jardins de Métis
The Ineffable Beauty
« Here of a summer’s night, when there is one of those rare all-pervading stillnesses and the world seems wrapped in a scared silence, broken only by the slow rhythm of the sea lapping its waters upon the shore; with the moon, silver clear in a cloudless sky, flood-lighting every petal of every lily and the upturned face of every flower, the ineffable beauty of the scene transcends time and place to bring an awareness of the eternal beyond and of a closeness to it.”
Elsie Reford, 1949
Elsie’s Paradise – The Gardens of Elsie Reford
Les Jardins de Métis /Reford Gardens are the extraordinary achievement of a passionate gardener – Elsie Reford. In the summer of 1926, at the age of 54, she began transforming her fishing camp on the Mitis River into a garden.
Over more than three decades, she created a garden that featured one of the largest collections of plants in its day. Designing the garden herself, she carefully created flowerbeds alongside the stream, realizing by trial and error that the long snowy winters and humid summer air provided the ideal growing conditions for the perennial plants she imported from around the world. Pathways meander through the forest and alongside the brook, providing visitors with moments of discovery and intimacy, where they can enjoy many vistas and fragrances. Where others had failed, she succeeded in cultivating rare plants, like the Himalayan blue poppy, the garden’s emblem. When it blooms from the end of June through the end of July, visitors can admire this extraordinary plant and admire the tenacity of the woman who introduced them to gardeners in eastern North America.
Today the gardens are home to more than 3,000 species, cultivars and varieties of plants, both native and exotic. They live happily in the microclimate of this enchanting site, traversed by a rushing brook and bordered by the Mitis River to the west and the St. Lawrence to the north. Known today for their exceptional collections and historic plantings, Elsie Reford’s gardens are preserved today by a passionate team of gardeners and staff so that visitors can experience their wonder, beauty and magic.
