Done for Anzac Day / The image represents a fallen soldier, who’s remains were never recovered during the first world war. It didn’t matter to me what side this soldier was fighting on. / The letter at the base of the post was his letter he kept close to his heart and was to be his last letter to his loved one.
This is a Teasle it is a wild flower but be warned I planted one in my garden as the birds love the seeds and the bees love the flowers, however they spread and spread and spread, they keep coming up all over the garden. I wouldn’t mind but I only have a small garden and these a huge monsters grow to about 4ft and they are very very prickly.

Another HDR shot of Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England.
mixed media on canvas 24” x 20” i made this piece when i was in the beginning of a 5 year relationship…. much love and awe going on. the creation began with newspaper on canvas. i have always loved the colors in the grocery store adds… and all the fruit. i don’t remember having a plan for this piece as is usually the case. it appeared to me. as you can see, most of the newsprint is painter over…except the apple and the space around it that forms the eye. the pink and stripes and a few changes on the male character came more recently….after we separated. i have a picture of it before. maybe it should go on red bubble, too. i celebrated when i sold the original for 1200 dollars. the relationship was over and i felt it appropriate that it find a new home …...and it did. it lives in california now. partnership as sacred…...

Hardwick Hall. Derbyshire. UK. – Photo Taken With Nikon D60. National Trust. Hardwick Hall Elizabethan mansion built by Bess of Hardwick. Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Hardwick Hall, a magnificent Elizabethan mansion built by Bess of Hardwick, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Renowned for its tapestries and with fine gardens. Set in a large park. Hardwick Hall is one of Britain’s finest Elizabethan houses built for Elizabeth, Dowager Countess of Shrewsbury, who moved in to her latest creation in October 1597. Bess of Hardwick, as history recalls her, rose from humble origins to become on of the most powerful people in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She married four times, each time gaining more wealth and her fourth husband was the Earl of Shrewsbury, one of the richest and most powerful of the English nobles of the time. For many years the Shrewsburys were responsible for the guardianship of that unhappy Queen Mary Queen of Scots. The dynasty created by Bess included many powerful descendants including the Dukes of Devonshire, Newcastle, Portland and Kingston. The house itself stands in a commanding position overlooking the surrounding countryside next to the ruins of Hardwick Old Hall. The original Old Hall may have dated from the 14th century, but the ruins you can now see were, curiously, built only a few years before the ‘New’ Hall alongside. The story is that Bess had a furious dispute with her husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and in 1584 had to leave their home at Chatsworth. She came to the Old Hall at Hardwick and largely rebuilt it as a place for herself to live. However, when the Earl died in 1590 her finances became much more secure and she immediately began the construction of the ‘New’ Hall. The Old Hall was abandoned and gradually became a ruin. With its massive windows and fine proportions it is an impressive statement of the power and wealth of its creator who made sure the statement was made quite clear by having her initials ES carved on stone letters at the head of the towers! The hall was notable for the size of its windows and the amount of glass used, which was far more than in similar houses of the period. Hardwick contains a remarkable collection of 16th Century furniture and paintings and the visited part of the hall is fully furnished. Perhaps the most notable items on view are the large collection of huge tapestries and of needlework that cover many of the walls of the rooms and staircases. Many of the tapestries are original to the hall and were probably chosen by Bess herself. The house stands within a country park containing rare breeds of cattle and sheep and the walled and enclosed gardens around the house include a herb garden, orchard and decorative gardens. There is a cafe and National Trust gift shop. / Info Link Below. / http://www.cressbrook.co.uk/visits/hardwick.php

We had Bess for over 14 years. She was such a cool dude she had two litters. Lots of people loved her and many were happy to have her stay over. Now they can have their own photos of her.

Carnewas beach, Bedruthan Steps, Cornwall The 139 steps down the cliff face belies the additional terraced and stepped path down the cliffs required to reach them, however the approach to this part of the North Cornish coast provides wonderful views from the top of the 300ft / 90+m cliffs The stacks are reputed to have been the stepping stones for the legendary giant Bedruthan, but Victorian tourists gave names to them such as Queen Bess rock, Samaritan Island etc. that are reflected on the O S maps today Map

This is a 7×9 oil on canvas board I painted in 1988. CH Mistrettas Ballou Pirate was the foundation sire for Mistretta Australian Shepherds. He was born in 1970 and was with us for 13 wonderful years. His dam and grand dam were working cattle dogs in a remote valley in Eastern Oregon in the USA. Many of my early paintings were in oil.
This is Bess and her first baby, Bella. Bess’s mother died when she was a couple of days old in 2006. We had to rare her as a poddy calf and she is a beautiful cow. Generally, you can walk up to her anywhere and she’ll stand there for a pat, but at the moment she is a little protective of Bella and didn’t want her usual petting. Taken with Sony DSLR and 75-300mm lens at 180mm so as not to disturb her too much. f5.6 at 1/125 sec. 16 November 2009 at 8.32am.
