This painting was inspired by my Spirit Guides like all my paintings. It may stir the viewer to see what needs to be thrown away or torn down and whatever remains can provide us with an opportunity to recreate ourselves. There are many doors we walk through in our lives and this painting reminds us to close the door behind. Freeing us to do more things, which may help us to understand our choices and visions. Grounding us without unbalancing our personalities, helping us to awaken a Spiritual understanding, which can help to transform our fears and accept our paths, whatever they may be.

This is the unframed version without a quote attached. There have been requests for this version. Captive “The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Who is you’re hero? / / Name: Panthera tigris sumatrae (Sumatran Tiger) Description: The Sumatran tiger has the darkest coat of all tigers. Its broad, black stripes are closely spaced and often doubled. Unlike the Siberian tiger, it has striped forelegs. Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Males average 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length from head to tail and weigh about 120 kilograms (264 pounds). Females measure approximately 2.2 meters (7 feet) in length and weigh about 90 kilograms (198 pounds). Distribution: The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat that ranges from lowland forest to submontain and montain forest with some peat-moss forest. Biology: The Sumatran tiger eats wild pig, big deer (called rusa), and small deer (called muntjak or barking deer). The specific range size of this tiger is not know, however the population density is approximately 4–5 adult tigers/100 km 2 (39 mile 2) in optimal lowland rainforest. As elevation increases through submontain and montain forests, the number of tigers in any given area decreases because there is less prey available. Status in the wild: 400-500 wild Sumatran tigers were believed to exist in 1998, primarily in the island’s national park areas, but no island-wide census or monitoring system has been possible. Tiger numbers have continued to decline because of poaching of tigers to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts. The last remnants of lowland forest are being eliminated to establish oil palm plantations and for shifting agriculture by recent settlers from other areas of Sumatra and Indonesia. Ongoing road development makes many formerly inaccessible mountain areas accessible to illegal logging even on the steepest slopes, and many mountainous areas are being converted into plantations for coffee and other products for international markets. Tigers are legally protected but are not highly valued. Captive breeding: For three years, the Indonesian Zoological Parks’ Association (PKBSI) has been working with the Tiger Global Conservation Strategy to develop a conservation program for Sumatran tigers. In addition to the 65 Sumatran tigers living in Indonesian zoos, there are 55 tigers managed by North American zoos, 100 in European zoos, and 12 in Australasian zoos. This captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. The Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Masterplan now has the potential to function as the heart of the Sumatran tiger population worldwide. It is designed to preserve sufficient genetic diversity to reinforce both captive and wild populations, thus fulfilling its goal to ensure that the in situ tiger program comprises verifiable founders permanently identified and registered in the Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Studbook. It also extends the capabilities of Indonesian zoo staff to professionally manage their tiger programs in Indonesia, and at the same time serves as a model for other range country tiger management programs in Southeast Asia.

Saltwick Bay, Whitby. Extract from the Whitby Lifeboat history: “Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Robert Allen and the Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Richard Robinson for rescuing a survivor of the fishing vessel Admiral Van Tromp, which was wrecked after grounding on the Black Nab Rock in thick fog, an easterly wind, and a heavy breaking sea on 30 September 1976. When a survivor was seen on a rock Helmsman Robinson drove the D class lifeboat in at full speed, onto a ledge, and the man was grabbed just as a large sea broke over the rock and washed the boat back into the sea.”

A Lorquin’s Admiral on Butterfly Bush blooms. The wingspan of the Lorquin’s Admiral is 47-71 mm ( 1.85-2.80 in). Females are considerably larger than the males. Lorquin’s Admirals are easily recognized by their orange tips of the fore-wing upperside. In Canada, it is widespread in southern British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, north to Emerald Lake. It also occurs in extreme southwestern Alberta and there is a single record from the Cypress Hills in southwestern Saskatchewan. / This is mainly a species of the west coast in the U.S., moving farther inland in the more northerly parts of its range Lorquin’s Admiral flies from June until August in Canada. This is a very pugnacious butterfly, often attacking any intruder in its territory, even large birds. It is mainly found in or near woodlands, including orchards and parks. This striking butterfly sits on tree leaves at the forest edge, with its wings characteristically held at a 45-degree angle, showing off the bright orange wing tips.

Robin - I woke this morning and I couldnt believe you were gone / You have packed it all up it seems / You’ve gone Home. I miss you dearly already and I must find a way. / A way to believe this and make it through the day. I do what I do out of love – be it right or be it wrong. / I simply cant believe you packed up so soon / I cant believe you went Home. God Bless you Robin. / Many a tear being shed in your name. / We will all be here playing but it will never be the same. Only the good die young / What a shame. Rest In Peace Angel, ~ Sky Fox She will forever live on through her gorgeous work – she did Florida Justice! _______

Beautiful mind All her life she has used cloaked robes / never standing sideways in a light / she is so selfconcious of her nose Many a handsome man has passed her by / never hearing her utter a sigh / never passing the time of day / Why oh why can t they try she sometimes cries herself to sleep / she has such a gentle heart / is kind to the core / oh but life she thinks is so much more She feels that because of her nose / she can t get to know the people she admires / so she sits indoors and creates such art / with her cat by her side / they both drink milk and eat a tart The fire warming them both / she tries not to cry, but knows that she hides / away from the madding crowd / going only out covered in her shroud

Vanessa atalanta (previously also known as Pyrameis atalanta). Devon, UK. The Red Admiral is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The species is resident only in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring, and sometimes again in autumn. This species occurs in Britain as a migrant originating from northern Africa and southern Europe, and being an extremely mobile species, can turn up in any habitat including woodlands, grasslands, meadows, heathlands and moors, coastal habitats, riverbanks, low montane habitats, gardens, parks, allotments and town centres. Males also gather at certain grassland hilltop sites, apparently to intercept migrating females. The number of migrants varies according to variations in climate in Europe, and this greatly affects the number of UK bred butterflies seen later in the year. Migrants arriving in the early spring oviposit on stinging nettles growing along hedgerows or in woodland glades, producing a summer brood in the UK which typically emerges from mid July to early August. In late summer these butterflies migrate south, and there is some evidence that the butterflies attempt to overwinter in southern woodlands. On sunny days the butterflies often bask on tree-trunks, always assuming a head-downwards or sideways facing position. In warm but overcast weather they like to bask on the foliage of bramble, hazel and other bushes. Favoured summer nectar sources include hemp agrimony, bramble, marjoram and ivy blossom. In gardens they will attend buddleia, ice-plant, and michaelmas daisies. In orchards they will feed at fallen apples or pears. They will also imbibe mineral salts from damp ground, and will visit sap runs on oak trunks. The bark-like underside of the wings provides excellent camouflage for the butterflies when they roost at night and on dull days, head downwards, on the trunks or lower branches of oaks, larch and other trees.

I just couldn’t resist plonking this lovely Red Admiral butterfly I photographed some time ago onto this lovely day-type lily in my next door neighbour’s garden.. ;-)

This is a vintage set of glasses and decanter I have standing on a silver tray in my living room. I took this using the macro setting on my camera, an old Point and Shoot Canon (A75). I have just developed an interest in macro shots. I love the color of these glasses and was wondering if despite some reflection I could compose a shot that would show their beauty up close.
