In that brief moment as he gently caressed her skin she felt he was their, but it was all so unsure that she couldnt move, afraid if she turned he would be gone. She had been waiting for 18 months for his return from the war, with no messages, no letters, she thought him dead. She chose to remain still and except his love and warmth even in that…Brief Moment In Time.

This old tree stands on top a gnarly peak on the far east border of Glassier National Park where the long and great plans suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly jump up in a shear wall of stone. It was not alone but stood with the corpses of many other trees who for some reason or other had ceased being able to live in the hostile environment that had given them birth and carved their living flesh into such masterpieces of wood. This one, though, this one was different. It was bigger and more warped and had lived far longer then any of its brethren or children that lay scatted about, and something in the way the silver wood gleamed, something in the way that it reached so far, forever seeking shelter from the wind, left me standing in awe.
Carnforth Station Briefly Encountered March 25th 2008 was the centenery and celebration of the life and work of Sir David Lean KBE, possibly one of the best, if not the best British Film Director ever. / / His career produced such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage to India. He has been Widely acclaimed by such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas. / / Brief Encounter, made in the last year of World War 2 Britain (1945), is adapted from Noel Coward’s one act play, Still Lives, and tells the, then, unthinkable story of a housewife (Celia Johnson) for whom the discovery of the passion of real love (with Trevor Howard’s Doctor), as contrasted to her quiet conventional marriage, brings her to the very point of suicide. / / The story, predominately, centres on their meetings at the fictional, Milford train station which, in reality, was Carnforth Station located on the southern edge of Cumbria. This location was chosen because, although at the tail-end of WW2, a blackout was still in force in London. There were no such problems in the wilds of Carnforth, and the station was, at that time, a busy junction with plenty of trains thundering by. / / The film’s soundtrack prominently features the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and played by Eileen Joyce. / / The modern Carnforth station, almost unchamged, now boasts an impressive visitors’ centre. / / Lots of location information here / / This image is, clockwise from top-left: / 1 – the station refreshment room, lovingly recreated at the station because the film used a fictional London-based set. / 2 – The clock at the top of the ramp leading from platform 1 to platform 2. In the film the clock-facia was covered over and card-board hands were used to keep time continuity. / 3 – Rail-tracks, little changed from 1945, with the exception of the electric wires, which would whisk the two lovers together, and then apart. / 4 – A photo in the visitor centre, which shows a steam train of the era approaching the station. / / These photos were taken on 23rd March 2008 / / Image 1,2,& 3© PhotogeniquE 2008 / Image 4 © unknown all rights reserved. / This composite is not for sale.

I know I’m showing my age with my reference to the TV show, Queen for a Day, but I thought of that when I saw this daylily. In all its resplendence, it “reigns” for only a day but how glorious it is during that brief period of time. I’d like to dedicate this image to my long-time friend, Claudette, fondly known as Ste. Claud, who will be Queen for a Day on June 3 when she celebrates her birthday. Happy Birthday, Ste. Claud!
Short-lived but glorious, the daylily makes a bright, brief statement and then fades forever.

This is as simple as it gets, yet for that, perhaps the most difficult. Knowing when to stop is the essence, but what a buzz I got from painting it. It is very wet Paynes grey Acrylic on a 40” x 30” single primed canvas. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it. :-)
“This can’t last. This misery can’t last. I must remember that and try to control myself. Nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long. They’ll come a time in the future when I shan’t mind about this anymore. But I can look back and say quite peacefully and cheerfully how silly I was. No, no I don’t want that time to come hither. I want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of my days. ” – Brief Encounter / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
As the sun quickly descends to the horizon at Werribee River, it contributes to some last amazing colours only for a brief moment in time, as the trees aged roots on the cliffs long for a drop of water.

What could these Pelican’s possibly be chatting about? What worries do THEY have? / Left Pelican: “So, how is the fishing today?” / Pelican on right replies: “Oh, it’s been pretty good. When are you going to properly secure your pole with a rope? Have you not read the First Landing State Park pole owners association booklet?” Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel visible in the background.

This ‘lil insect was going round one of the bushes, but was just too fast, I struggled to get their quick enough to take the shot! (Any help on what sort of hovering insect this is would be good!) Cropped, otherwise as taken.
