Scarlet Macaw by Sharon Mau

Scarlet Macaw / Ara Macao Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Group Avatar 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Art The Woman Photographer This beautiful boy is one of Bud Clifton’s show birds. You may find him at the beautiful botanical gardens along the Hana Highway in Puohokamoa Valley called The Garden of Eden Maui Hawai’i . Bud calls him Rufus, (Rufus McDuffus). It is such a silly name for such a beautiful bird. I visit the birds about once a month. They are all so sweet. They are also free and so well cared for and trained they do not fly off into the rainforest. Bud loves his beautiful birds. According to him, Rufus was once a circus performer flying through burning hoops and walking on tight ropes. Bud rescued him and now he has a lovely life of leisure delighting the children and families as they exit the beautiful botanical gardens. Bud will take your photo with his birds using your camera for a small fee. It is a sensational show and I know you will love it. The next time you pop in to say Aloha to Bud tell him Jacob and Sharon Mau said Howzit! Easily distinguished from amazons and cockatoos by their bare facial patch and long pointed tail, the Macaw family comprises one of the most extravagantly coloured in the bird world. There are several variations of the Scarlet, most notably an uncommon variety with emerald green on the wing along with the yellow, and the more common wide patch of yellow. Their declining populations in the wild continues to cause great concern for tropical environmentalists. They are flamboyant, colourful, and captivating birds. Their personalities are legendary. Because of their great beauty and engaging personalities, they have been kept in captivity for centuries. In fact, in the United States, they were kept by the Pueblo Indians since 1100 A.D. where they prized the Scarlet Macaw.

"Slow Boat to China" by phatpuppy

So impressed with the art on the homepage, I decided to do a photomontage of one of these beautiful Chinese Junks… Hope you like it.. sxc.hu, my own photos and textures…. Slow Boat to China I’d like to get you / On a slow boat to China, / All to myself alone. / To get you and keep you in my arms evermore, / Leave all your lovers / Weeping on the faraway shore. / Out on the briny / With the moon big and shinny, / Melting your heart of stone. / Darling, I’d love to get you / On a slow boat to China, / All to myself alone.

The Flag Sisters by Nicolette Thain

/ / The Fabulous Flag Sisters / Daniella Miletic, Reviewer, The Age / July 3, 2008 / Long before Megan Gale and her never-ending pins graced billboards all over Italy, there was another set of Australian legs renowned for being the best in Europe. They were a little hairy, rather muscular and they belonged to a bloke – Perth-born actor Neil Hansen who shot to fame as a performing drag queen in Italy during the 1970s. This documentary, directed by Franco di Chiera, retraces Hansen’s journey and the improbable rise to stardom of the drag trio La Sorelle Bandiera (“The Flag Sisters”), of which Hansen was a member. It takes a little convincing to get you in – Hansen’s own story of backpacking across Europe in his 20s and finding bit parts as an actor before being plucked from a piazza by a talent scout seems only half credible and unfolds too much like a tired episode of This Is Your Life. I mean, who in Australia has ever heard of this bloke, a 50-something landscape gardener who claims to have worked alongside Italian showbiz legends Isabella Rossellini and Roberto Benigni? But Hansen and his stage buddies, Mexican Tito Le Duc and Italian Mauro Bronchi, were the real deal and in fact the first drag queens on Italian television. Their weekly stint on Sunday-evening TV prompted the requisite outrage from conservatives and even earned them the admonishment of the church after the trio appeared in a spoof flick about the inner workings of the Vatican. The doco probably overstates the impact that the Flag Sisters had on Italian culture, holding the trio’s performances up to be some kind of comic escape at a time of great fear and unrest as the Red Brigade terrorists committed random acts of murder. But the best bits are simply in Hansen’s retelling his own story, of the trappings of Italian fame and of his friendships with his co-stars, including Bronchi, with whom he is reunited. The incongruity of it all is brought home when we see Hansen’s housewife mother, Edna, being chauffeured around Italy in the back of a limousine marvelling in broad Aussie accent about the weird and wonderful places her son’s career had taken him. It is a career still lauded in a country where television stars are often afforded godly status. Hansen will remain unknown to nearly all Australians, but many in Italy still remember him as “the redhead with the best legs in Europe”.

The Red Woman by Taylor Sawyer

This is a photo taken in an art exhibit by Jonathan Borofsky. I’ve been trying to get a hold of him to let him know that I have these photos but I cannot find any contact information for him. So I am showing these photos more as a way to show off his art and not to take credit myself. If anyone has a problem with me posting these, please let me know immediately and I will be happy to remove them. Now this exhibit is called Human Structures and the Light of Consciousness. That link will take you to his page showing this exhibit in several photos where I saw it (The Meijer Gardens). This photo was taken with a Canon Rebel XTi, 18-55mm Canon Lens. Again, I wish to give all credit to Jonathan Borofsky for his talent. I only took photos of it. For this reason NONE of these photos will be for sale.

Any images not following the guidelines will automatically be removed without notification. Poems and writings are welcome also but they must pertain to the theme of our group meaning: must include words describing the color red
