I managed to catch the eye of this American Robin up in a tree one morning this week on a walk in the neighbourhood.
Construction on every corner is making getting nature shot a bit difficult as well as driving in this area a zoo.
Photography has been hit and miss among the buying a place activities this week. I hope those will conclude soon.
Diana Ohiozebau was born in Leeds, England and raised in Nigeria. Much of her work is on an African fabic called aso-oke.
It has shine and ravels easily.
There were traditional fabric included in many of the painted pieces.
We headed down the street for Vietnamese food which was delicious and there was enough for supper.
Project Hail Mary by Any Weir is a fantastic story. A save the planet Earth scenario arises and Ryland Grace a school teacher is recruited to work on the space project that will send astronauts to Tau Ceti to find a way to reverse the solar dimming on our sun.
Ryland is voluntold he will be on this mission when an accident kills 2 of the astronauts who had been training for this critical mission.
When he arrives he finds himself alone as the other 2 people on the ship have died during the passage. He encounters a alien ship on a similar mission as his, so they partner to find the answer. Since Rocky is a spider type beings many accommodation need to be made. He is a great engineer and can create many wonderful things to enable the success of the mission. They save Earth and Erid.
A real page turner and it was hard to put it down at times. Recommended by my brother in law.
The weather was great as we stood outside then we were let into the wonderful atrium. Very crowded then the Brett Ryan arena was dedicated then we could view the High School show hanging on the walls. Barry was carving in the courtyard.
It has been a lot of work for the staff and volunteers. I have not been able to participate as I have been busy getting a place to live.
Love the paper collage camera.
The celestial piece connected with my recent finishing of the space book that morning.
Watercolor is always my favorite medium with blue and yellow my favorite color combo.
I hope to be able to participate in the Open Arts Competition later this year.
The Wishing Jar by Penelope J. Stokes is a book I finished this week.
The Wishing Jar is a family tradition with a magical legend attached. It has been in the Quinn family for generations. It sits in a place of honor in a cabinet .
Abby is the mother of a teenager Neal Grace who is acting up. Her mother Edith has suffered a stroke and feels she has become a burden to Abby her daughter.
The Quinn family motto - "Purity of Heart, Faithfulness of Soul".
The Neal Grace comes to see her grandmother in a new light, Edith finds the strength to move forward and Abby find romance. Great book
