This image is from a while back, but the weather is about the same today - rain, fog, and maybe a little colder though. The light snow changed to rain last night and this morning all the roads are clear and it is a lot warmer than the last couple of days.
Today is a memorial service in Tucson for the victims of the shooting and the recovery of Congresswoman Giffords. President Obama will be attending. A friend of mine from New Mexico called to ask if she could park at my home which is near the venue there. I wish that I could attend but I am in Washington state at this time. It was nice to talk with her about the tragedy and the condition of the rhetoric in this country and its effect on the vulnerable and unstable.

I walked through the park after my visit to the Whitney Museum in NYC (that is where I saw the Friedlander show). The reminders of fall were everywhere still.
I got some sad news today. turns out the tragedy in Tucson hit closer to home than I first thought. My daughter went to school (a gifted high school) with Gabe Zimmerman who died in the shooting and I met him through her on occasions. I did not make the connection till she called me and told me of this. He was 30 years old, the same age as my daughter.
Near the harbor of my city there is a very little garden, complete with a brook.
And here there are many wild flowers, very beautiful and interesting.
A small corner of peace and greenery where you can relaxing..

I went for a little ride this morning and found the prettiest clump of wild flowers I 've ever seen around here
While most of the wild proboscis monkeys were close to each other in a cluster, some animals were slightly far from the group, as this pair right here. Detailed notes as well as real close-ups of proboscis monkeys, both male and female, appear in my Sandakan and Lubok Monkey Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary set. (Uncle Tan's Wildlife Adventures, Kinabatangan River, Sabah, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
Another look at the femals proboscis monkey up in the tree. We did not spot any males in this group. I was disappointed somewhat, but my visit to the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary more than made up for my disappointment. I did that immediately after my return to Sandakan from the Uncle Tan jungle camp, and I got some pretty good close ups. Detailed notes as well as real close-ups of proboscis monkeys, both male and female, appear in my Sandakan and Lubok Monkey Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary set.

As fancy as the previous version was, I think still nothing beats good old BW...

"I'm feeling so lost" she whispered with dread,
bowing her neck and resting her head.
My heart lunged in pain as she started to sob,
while I played with her ebony hair.
"I need a clean slate, I need to start new,
I need to stop running and hiding with you"
I shivered with thought as I felt her detach,
my heart felt a pang of the blues.
"I'll take you away where no-one will know,
your name or your face or your sins of below."
She gazed at me with hope, "But is there such a place?"
"Down where the wild flowers grow."
I couldn't let go, could not let her leave.
The way that this world would have loved to decieve
her innocent eyes, and her purity true -
makes me sick to the whitest of sleeves.
I left her to soak with the earth and the ground,
to naturally rot to a pretty, pale mound.
I left her alone, but I know she will be
where the wild flowers grow, and easily found... by me.
Wild Leek also goes by the name, Ramps. These large green leaves are one of the earliest signs of spring on the forest floor of southern Ohio. The bulbs are edible, but even this early in the spring, if you crush a leaf you will detect a very strong onion-like aroma. The plant does not bloom and produce seed until several months hence.
Just around 120 wild dog in the Kruger Park about the same number as cheetah. This against around 1,000 leopard and 1500 lion. Over 5,000 hyena. These dogs are persecuted on all fronts - lions, farmers, hyena - the list goes on.
Finally! The man who is arguably hip-hops most consistent artist has finally returned. I say consistent because every album one of his five previous has gone at least gold, which is nothing to laugh at considering a lot of people don’t even get that far, although folks don't see it that way in a time of platinum-selling albums. It's ghetto hardcore and it's ghetto comedy all at once and the beats are killer. This time out he has the usual suspects Rockwilder and hip-hop heavyweights Timbaland ("Put It Down"), Pete Rock ("Gimmie One") and Scott Storch ("Freestyle Freestyle") in attendance behind the boards, along with hip-hop veteran and Def Squad member Erick Sermon ("Walk In Gutta", "Put It Down", "Soopaman Luva"), and they don't disappoint. As usual, Red doesn't take himself seriously, which makes for a very entertaining listen. Lyrically, Reggie must have been in the gym because he has stepped up his rhyme game. On every track he is coming with the metaphors and the freestyle sound that has defined and set him apart from the rest since the beginning and thankfully, in doing so he has finally snatched his style back from Ludacris' weakening grasp (yeah I said it!). Red's not the only one that is in rare form here. Fellow Def Squad members Erick Sermon and Keith Murray both come out of left field with killer verses on "Walk in Gutta". Every time I listen I laugh my a** off (especially at "Mr. Ice Cream Man"), nod my head until my neck hurts and give my speakers a good workout. On top of all that what makes this album so great is the fact that he has managed to change yet stay the same too, resulting in a perfect next chapter in the Redman/Reggie Noble saga. What makes this album so great is that Redman is 'doin' him' which is why we love him the first place.
