i started my gold award project today.
i wrote a rough draft of a book that took me an hour and then spent two hours drawing faces for two little girls on my computer. i had forgotten how much i love to just work on illustrator. it's so addicting. it's funny because three hours is a long time but i barely have anything done, but that's good because i'm supposed to have a total of sixty five hours for my project.
...i'm going to take photos outside and at cool places eventually...
i need batteries again.
Two tone was really popular on cars in the 50's; it doesn't work quite as well on on grain cars.

There is a third, similar gate with the word "THERE" over the top. (My battery gave out before I was able to shoot it.) Taken alone, it could be taken as a rebuttal to Gloria Steinem's "There is no there there" remark concerning the city, Oakland, where this garden is located. Taken in concert with the other two gates they constitute the title to the Beatles song "Here, There and Everywhere".
Northern shovelers are my favorite duck species to watch and photograph, and Radio Road Ponds in Redwood City is a great place to get close to them. This shot is from a rainy afternoon there last march.
The story behind this is heartbreaking. In his younger days, Ng Eng Teng was in love with someone, but he couldn't be with them due to "family reasons". He enshrined his love for this person in the form of two heart-shaped ponds in his garden, separated by brick and cement, but joined by an unseen pipe so the water flows from one pond to another. A sculpture of a single tear on a heart shaped stone next to the pond attests to this unspoken love, and how it always weighed on his heart.
The sketchcrawl group in Davis met at the California Raptor Center. Many birds to sketch and people too. For us, the birdman took out an eagle. He explained that many of the birds were injured, some might recovered and let go but others who are more injured would stay for their lifetime.
A male bird photographed at Uppsala, Sweden on January 24th 2012. A rarity in europe, currently irrupting into Sweden due to the failure of the russian Larch cone crop in 2011. Generally a hard to photograph species making this one of my very best images...

My bother and sister-in-law were staying with me in Akaora for a couple of nights and we took a drive around the Banks Peninsula in the misty rain. We called into Okains Bay and walked around the interesting Maori & Colonial Museum.
Originally started as the private collection of Maori artifacts collected by a local resident, in 1968, the disused Okains Bay Cheese Factory was purchased and after many years of renovation, opened as a public Museum in 1977. Since that time, it has steadily grown to house many historic remnants of Okains Bay and the Banks Peninsula region.
The exhibits include a working Blacksmith's shop, a print shop, a saddlery, the restored school and the former Akaroa grandstand. Many local buildings have been reconstructed on the site including slab cottage and stables. The Colonial building houses artifacts used during the Colonial era of occupation of Okains Bay.
The Whare Taonga houses the Maori collection. This includes a sacred god stick dating back to the year 1400, a war canoe dating back to 1867 and a rare Akaroa hei tiki (pounamu necklace) recovered in England and bought back to Okains Bay by the Museum's founder. The Whaakata (Meeting House) was built observing all Maori traditions and tapu, using original materials from other meeting houses. Most of the carving was done by John Rua, a well known New Zealand master carver.
