V-Formation of Geese in front of the rising sun in autumn.
After i took the shot i had to think of an album cover with the music of Jean Sibelius. The cover showed a group of swans photographed in front of the setting sun, the song it was dedicated to was "the swan of tuonela". The conductor was Herbert von Karajan.

I have a good memory!
But I don't have the wig anymore... I must have given it away many years ago. So now, it's only a "souvenir"... I guess I liked the curly look but, with hindsight, I am not convinced a red hair color is best for my pale skin complexion... Well, here it is. It's all yours, and thank for for "watching", as they say on tv...
(Funny? "tv"? Transvestite or Television? We make what we want of our world! I know, I do with mine! Call me "Mrs Lucky"! Lucky to still be alive! Lucky to be among you, beautiful friends, lovers of feminine beauty!) ...
Today is a rainy day, outside, for a change? It's as though we changed over to a tropical climate for the Summer, all of a sudden? We have been getting our fair share of rain, so far... It's good for the lawns but severely restrict outdoor activities...
This old house near Anarchist Summit east of Osoyoos probably saw many Thanksgivings over the years before it was abandoned. I've photographed it in many seasons, but it looked particularly appealing in the glowing autumn sunlight with yellow aspens behind. (Richard McGuire photo) (193)
"Cofiwch Dryweryn" is a Welsh phrase meaning "Remember Tryweryn." It refers to the Welsh village of Capel Celyn, which was flooded in 1965 to create the Llyn Celyn reservoir to supply water to Liverpool. The phrase is now a powerful symbol of Welsh nationalism and a reminder of the cultural impact of the flooding.

Do you remember the one looks like #katemoss ? I assembled her yesterday. And my friend sent me a sample dress for fitting. 😊#doll #bjd #artdoll #fashiondoll
I was looking through some images from a few years ago and found this, one of my favorites of my former Golden Retriever companion, CASEY. A beautiful, faithful and loving dog, he had an obsession for pine cones. He would collect them and did not want to give them up...despite the bribes. Here I was trying to coax him into dropping them so that we could go into the house. If he carried them inside, he began tearing them into small pieces making a mess!
I believe I took this photo with my phone(at the time) camera.

This memorial may seem familiar, there were over one thousand cast and distributed across the country.
I know of two other than the one pictured. One on the main staircase of the Jersey City Public Library, Main Branch and one in the north lobby of the Main Post Office in New York City.
"The Bureau of Engraving used bronze salvaged from the Maine to create 1,500 numbered USS Maine Memorial tablet-style plaques. The tablets were initially given to relatives of those killed in the Maine explosion. Demand for the tablets became so great that many were given to cities and veterans organizations across the United States. Quite a few are still on display in veterans parks and memorials.
The lower right corner is stamped "© C. KECK Sc. / 1913 Cast By / Jno. Williams Inc. / N.Y." The bottom edge is stamped with cast number. On the reverse, the top left corner is stamped / Charles Keck, Sculptor / Cast By / Jno Williams Inc. / Bronze Foundry / New York / 1913."
"Keck studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League of New York with Philip Martiny, and was an assistant to Augustus Saint-Gaudens from 1893 to 1898. He also attended the American Academy in Rome.
In 1921 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member and became a full Academician in 1928. He is best known for his monuments and architectural sculpture. His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics."
The influence of Saint-Gaudens can be seen in his work.
With Armistice Day tomorrow, this is an apposite post. It shows ceramic artist Paul Cummins' novel art work, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, at the Tower of London in late October 2014. In addition, two skeletal metal artwork soldiers can be seen on the parapets above the moat, 'defending' the Tower.
The art installation was opened on 17 July and eventually 888,246 ceramic poppies were planted, the last on Armistice Day, 11 November 2014. Each poppy represented a British or Commonwealth military fatality from the First World War.
British nationals killed in the First World War totalled 589,908, according to the War Office's 1922 publication "Statistics of the Military Effort of the British Empire during the Great War, 1914-1920."
Despite a negative reception from several critics, the massed poppies struck a chord with the general public, some five million of whom saw that original installation. Popular demand led to elements going on display at various locations around the UK; planned installations stretch past Armistice Day 2018.
a colorful glob of candy necklaces. remember eating these while they were still around your neck and getting that white powdery stuff on your chin and clothes? How about forgetting you had that empty elastic around your neck for hours (wait...maybe nobody else forgot the elastic--scratch that)?

Not sure why I did a stack for this Mushroom, I remember that it was in a tight area so I had to use my 60mm macro lens. I shot through a lot of moss to get the image as it was between downed trees. The background yellow/orange were more Mushrooms.

With this photo I am using the camera metaphorically to run my hands through the waterwall. But more than this, when I saw the reflective possibilities of the running water (especially the lady in the yellow coat and white shoes in the centre of this image), my mind was immediately taken to remembering Saul Leiter.
For those who don't know, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) is a photographic hero of mine. He was renowned for taking extraordinary colour photographs of New York from the late 1940s (when hardly anyone took colour photos seriously in the art world) until his death at the age of 90. Like another hero of mine, Josef Sudek of Prague, he was out shooting virtually until the day he died. I should add that in Sudek's case it is even more remarkable since he lost an arm in WW1 and carried a large format camera around the city all by himself!
One of the trademarks of Leiter's work is shots through or reflected on wet windows. Hence this shot of mine.
Leiter started out as a painter in a circle of artistic friends that included Willem de Kooning and Andy Warhol. Unlike them however (despite a few minor exhibitions), Leiter was never really discovered by the public until the publication of two glorious late books, "Early Color 1948-1960" (Steidl, 2006) and the definitive, "Saul Leiter Restrospective" (Kehrer, 2012) from an important exhibition in Hamburg. Interesting that both are by German publishing houses, for the rediscovery of Leiter came largely from Europe.
There are a number of valuable interviews with Leiter on YouTube and best of all, a marvellous film, "In No Great Hurry".
Do yourself a favour and watch this interview:

I love the man and his art. Here's to you Saul!
