Well I’m darned if I know what that means…maybe they appear on a bank statement? Who knows?
Anyways, this is my GLW with her feet up at our local watering hole after a couple of Asahi beers.
Museum Arnhem. Detail Thread power. Handicraft as a statement.
The bowl in the selected section is a green, leaf-shaped bowl. The shape and finish mimic the organic contours and veins of a leaf. It is used as storage for various hobby items. Inside are, among other things, a large spool of dark thread, scissors with pink handles, and clear storage tubes filled with beads and craft supplies.
Organic design. The wavy edges imitate the natural shape of a leaf.

💋 My Look. My Rules. Unapologetically August at Swank.
I don't simply arrive—I command. My entrance begins with the Aleah Lips HD Collection by JUMO Beauty, featuring six luscious shades curated to highlight the natural shape and fullness of my pout. These high-definition lip colors glide on like silk, from soft blushes to velvety wine reds. Each hue brings its own flair of mood—flirty, sensual, or fiercely powerful. Compatible exclusively with LeLUTKA EvoX mesh heads, it ensures seamless lip contouring with any matching skin applier.
To elevate my eyes into a statement of their own, I wear the dazzling Shadow Set 11 by SlackGirl. Each stroke is a masterpiece: a dual-color liner with bold under flicks and glittering crystal accents tracing my upper lids. Whether I choose sapphire, emerald, or a pop of pink, the result is bold and editorial. This set supports EvoX, Genus Regular, and Genus 4K mesh heads—rendered in breathtaking 4K detail. Yes, darling, my eyes don't whisper. They speak volumes.
Draping my décolleté in art, the Alluri Tattoo by Venus Authentic Tattoos blooms delicately across my chest—a romantic flourish of florals and butterflies in motion. Offered in 12 BOM layers, including Fresh, Faded, Aged, Old, BW, Color, and Tint, this tattoo blends flawlessly on all BOM-enabled mesh bodies and is fully mod/copy. Whether I wear it in full bloom or faded elegance, it remains utterly timeless.
And because no ensemble is complete without jewels that shimmer with every turn of the head, I finish with the showstopping Dianne Earrings by JUMO Originals. A sculptural cascade of radiant red blooms and teardrop gems, these statement earrings echo the sensual tones of my lips and the floral grace of my tattoo. They are the drama and the elegance in one.
This is more than makeup and accessories—it's an experience. A symphony of color, detail, and attitude, exclusively featured at the Swank Around the World August Event.

B&w images allow the viewer to focus upon details without the distraction of color. (This is NOT an original statement from me, I read or heard it somewhere a long time ago,)
These are blossoms from a small shrub that rests on our apartment's balcony. My son and daughter-in-law gave it to me a few years ago when I reached a landmark birthday. In the repotting process I was able to share a plant with them for their patio.
Random find. That's some serious statement right there. Suitably next to a discarded Lime scooter I'm choosing to ignore. Vague, oblique metaphors and such.
I have questions for whoever is responsible for this.
Not quite sure why I thought this was worth sharing. Maybe because someone decided it was worth defacing a building with, and I in turn am defacing your timeline. Or maybe because it made me snort, which lodged my chewing gum down the wrong pipe - how eventful- and I'm trying to feel better by making someone else snort. Or maybe because I'm destined to become one of those people who share memes because "This shit made me laugh, so I'll inflict it on the lot of you. You're welcome." Which makes this a pre-meme.
What can I say. I'm profound like that.
Yellow is a happy color and even more so with flowers. This is a “Cheerful Yellow Statement” as you can see. Flowers convey happiness wham we receive them. Gardens are full of color for sure. Yellow Flowers stand out so much they’re in a class of their. Thanks for viewing my photos.
Could you use a good fish story today? Once upon a time there were these beautiful fish who lived five miles under the ocean. How do I know? They were the subject of a PBS television special. So this is a for real fish story. Because these fish are really striking - they are incredibly colorful - some folks thought they might look good in someone's tropical fish aquarium. So, they tried to bring these fish to the surface. They didn't make it. They blew up when they got near the surface! They were designed to live under that pressure at the bottom. No happy ending - except they're leaving the rest of them where they belong - five miles under the ocean. That's where they were created to be!
It really works this way in all of God's creation. There's an environment that things and people were created to be in, and things really work when they're in that place. They really don't work very well when they're not where they were designed to be. Thankfully, God makes very clear the environment you and I were created for, so we don't have to waste our lives searching for it. In fact, probably the single most important question you have to answer while you're on earth is this: Why am I here?
God answers that question in six simple, life-changing words in His book the Bible. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Colossians 1:16. Speaking of Jesus Christ, the Bible says, "All things were" - now here are the six words - "created by Him and for Him." Try putting your name in that Biblical statement. Here we go. "(Your name) was created by Jesus and for Jesus." Just like those fish were created to be in the pressure of that deep-sea environment. Just like the earth was created to be in an orbit around the sun, you were created for Jesus. You were created by Jesus for a relationship with Jesus, where you live for Jesus.
All these years you've been away from the one that your heart's been searching for all along. Isn't it time to experience the relationship you were made for - to finally be where you were born to be?

I attempted to create an image of the people on the sidelines going on with their lives oblivious to the changes going on around them. It's a statement about some of my fellow countrymen during and after the insurgency that took place Wednesday in Washington D.C. What we saw that day is NOT the country that I want us to be . We must actively resist allowing the insurgents to control the direction of the nation. Understand, silence is a form of acceptance. I WILL NOT BE SILENT!

The Crested Guinea Fowl is rare compared to the 'Gewone Tarentaal' and is only found in very small numbers in the very far north of Kruger Park , mainly at Pafuri where S Africa meets Zim and Mozambique in the forests. Shy by nature makes it even harder to see. I took this on Mahonie Loop close to Punda Maria Camp in perfect Habitat

The old buildings and the new grain storage tanks signify generations on the land. Australia's first and only Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Patrick White (1912-1990), wrote of these experiences in what some consider his greatest novel: The Tree of Man (1955).

I remember studying Patrick White in high school literature classes in the 1970s, just after he'd been awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973. It was often jokingly said (but with a grain of truth) that he was Australia's greatest unread novelist. Sadly, that statement is even more true today. lithub.com/on-patrick-white-australias-great-unread-novel...
But then that is true of most quality literature in this almost post-literary age. The book and literature remains the essential lifeblood of culture however, as it was long ago for the Greeks with Homer. Americans spent much of the 20th century looking for the "great American novel". And perhaps Patrick White's The Tree of Man comes close to that in Australian terms. The only writer I consider in his category of literary importance in the past 70 years of Australian writing is David Malouf, to whom White was a great mentor and friend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Malouf
In the case of White and Malouf, the key elements are a deep understanding of the historical currents that shape a culture, and an intuitive sense of the poetic.
But let me conclude with a memory of Patrick White - the man. I once heard him speak in 1983 at LaTrobe University in Melbourne. He packed out the largest lecture theatre and addressed what he considered the most critical issue of the day: Nuclear Disarmament. Patrick White inspired us that day, not because he was obsessively political. But as a man of passion who spoke of a deep sadness at how the world that once imagined greatness like Homer, could be reduced to shrilled rats in a cage fearful that one of the superpowers would drop the bomb.
I will never forget that speech as long as I live. Here was a man proving why literature is still important and that we dismiss it at our eternal peril. We are now entrusted to care for the very land our ancestors passed down to us. Let us not fail in that duty.
