His caresses are so sharp
Than the teeth of a shark
His words as hard as thorns
But if you know him better
They will heal your irritation
And will calm your heart as well.

(Anemone acutiloba) There are a few varieties of the hepatica in bloom at this time of the year. Only a few I saw were this deep purple color and they stood out so prominently. They are a delicate bloom about 2cm wide. I tried hard not to step on any along the trail.

India is a truly incredible nation. People live in a strange way and all things spin around religion.
At dusk, all people get ready for the prayers and in a while this quiet lake has become very crowded.

The sun setting over Bodmin Moor, at Sharp Tor near Henwood.
I took this a couple of weeks ago and was hoping I could take a trip to Twelve Mens Moor, a short walk from here, tonight but unfortunately its a bit grey and gloomy.
I welcome any constructive comments that can help me improve.
A pun to start the week for the Ilford Advocate testing, FP4+, Ilfotec HC, Ilford rapid fixer, Ilford boxes all ticked.
Pietà is a c.1537-1540 oil painting by Rosso Fiorentino, originally painted on panel and later transferred to canvas. Now in the Louvre in Paris, it is the only securely-identified original painting by the artist known to have been produced for a courtier of Francis I of France. X-ray examination has shown an initial composition under the bodies of Christ and St John.
According to Vasari's Lives of the Artists, it was commissioned by constable Anne de Montmorency soon after the artist's work on the Francis I Gallery at Fontainebleau Palace. De Montmorency's coat of arms features on the pillow under Christ and it was originally at the doorway to the chapel in his Château d'Écouen, from which it was moved to the Louvre at the end of the 18th century.
The body of Christ is represented in the foreground and, semi-extended, occupies the entire surface of the painting. He is echoed by Mary who, desperate, spreads her arms reaching to touch the edges of the painting and symbolically reliving the martyrdom of the crucifixion. It is held by a pious woman with her head covered by a heavy veil of bright red color, while Jesus is held at the feet by the Magdalene, with very refined clothing and hairstyle, and by John the Apostle, represented kneeling from behind on the right in a complex twist, complementary to that of the Magdalene. The figures occupy practically the entire available field, leaving little space for the dark background that simulates the open sepulcher. They have a heroic and dramatic tone, highlighted by the gestures, but austerely restrained, which Antonio Natali defined as "a chorus of Greek tragedy".
The light lingers grazing on the foreground of the composition, leaving the background in darkness, and lighting up various shades of red in the clothing of the characters, contrasted by the white band that wraps around Mary's neck and head, as well as the yellow of the dress of the Magdalene and the whiteness of her lace. The folds of the clothes appear hard, almost sculpted, more sharp than ever.
More than the sophisticated style of Fontainebleau's works, the Pietà recalls the torments of works such as the Sansepolcro Deposition (1528), especially in the pose of the figures. This has led to the hypothesis of a previous dating than the traditional one, at the beginning of the French stay. The hypothesis, however, contrasts with the documents that recall the construction of the Constable's chapel, completed in the 1540s.
Perched in a tree behind the otter habitat at the Detroit Zoo. I got to see it thanks to a sharp-eyed docent.
Photographed out my back window while perched in an apricot tree about 20 feet from me. Photographed through window glass so not the best quality. I think he/she knows I am watching. IMG_0071
As I drove around today, I happened upon this hawk that appeared to be merely hanging around. Once I stopped, I heard small-bird sounds in some thick underbrush nearby but couldn't tell how significant they were. I think this is the first time I've taken a picture of a bird from my car. Windsor Park is a section of Charlotte, N.C. (See map at right.)
Thanks for taking the time to visit and look at my latest photo. I've especially enjoyed looking at your photographs the last few days while snow, ice and cold have kept me indoors. Keep up the good work! (smile)
Vanhool EX16H. Really disappointed by this. Looks nice outside but the inside is very very basic & looks very cheap.
