I was contacted last week by a new author named Connie Martin. She's using this Northern Cardinal for her book cover..
It's in development with her graphic design artist right now, should be in print by the end of the year.
Novel revolves around the untimely death of her only daughter, 15 years ago. Her daughter was only 17 at the time.
Less than 10,000 copies to start with, hope her story does well.
Anyway, it's a first for her as well as me :)

Thanx for lookin'
This is a re-post of a photo I took on 3/26/11 in Vegas of the Sahara hotel. I love Vegas. My first time there was 12/31/2010. I wish I was there sooner, so much had changed since then. And I feel horrible, I have not been there this year. I was planning on going in September for my birthday and it didn’t happen. I wanted to go by the end of the year and that most likely won’t happen. I was listening to one of my favorite songs tonight, The Way It’s Always Been and he mentions the Sahara. I love Brandon Flowers and his lyrics and imagery and his band the Killers.
Une météo, une abbaye | A meteo, an abbay

Jeudi de l’Ascension, un regard par la fenêtre, la météo est menaçante. Après une lourde semaine intense, l’envie est là de prendre l’air et aussi de m’exercer dans la photo … Réfléchissons … Pourquoi pas une balade dans l’une de nos plus belles abbayes de Belgique, l’abbaye d’Aulne, sur les terres de Thuin.
J’aime particulièrement les monastères et les abbayes, ces lieux de recentrement sur soi et de silence.
L'ancienne abbaye d'Aulne est une abbaye cistercienne située à Gozée en Belgique qui a son origine dans le monastère bénédictin fondé par saint Landelin en 657. Largement reconstruite au xv siècle et de nouveau au XVIIIe siècle elle est détruite et incendiée (y compris sa bibliothèque) en 1794 par les troupes révolutionnaires françaises après que les moines en aient été expulsés. Les ruines et vestiges des bâtiments sont classés au Patrimoine majeur de Wallonie.
Une abbaye à l’histoire chargée, que vous pourrez apprécier au lien suivant de wikipedia fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_d'Aulne
J’y suis arrivé un peu tôt avant l’ouverture. Profitant du temps d’attente, je pars explorer le tour du domaine. Je me retrouve au fin fond du pré voisin, en forte pente, avec une vue de plus en plus formidable au fur et à mesure que je grimpe.
Je prends quelques clichés, et puis je me tente à tester mon nouvel objectif et ma nouvelle rotule 3D, pour essayer de mettre en relief ce panorama, que je trouve tellement spacieux et majestueux.
Vous pourrez prochainement aussi apprécier une de mes visions de ce panorama en Noir et Blanc. Restez donc connectés …

Ascension, a look out of the window, the weather is threatening. After a heavy intense week, the desire is there to take a breath outsider and to go for some photo shoot ... Let's think ... Why not a walk in one of our most beautiful abbeys in Belgium, the abbey of Aulnes on the land of Thuin / Lobbes.
I particularly like the monasteries and abbeys, these places of silence, allowing some refocusing on ourselves.
The former abbey of Aulnes is a Cistercian abbey located at Gozée Belgium, which has its origin in the Benedictine monastery founded by St. Landelin in 657. Largely rebuilt in the fifteenth century and again in the eighteenth century it was destroyed and burned (including library) in 1794 by the French revolutionary troops after the monks were expelled. Ruins and remains of buildings are classified today the most important heritage of Wallonia.
For the Abbey tradition and history , you can enjoy the following Wikipedia link fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_d alder
I arrived a little early before the opening. Taking advantage of this waiting time, I go exploring around the area. I find myself deep in the nearby meadow, steep, with a view increasingly more beautiful as I climb the meadow.
I take a few shots, and then I tried to test my new lens and my new 3D head, trying to highlight this panorama , which I find so spacious and majestic.
You will enjoy soon one of my Black and White vision of, stay tune.
