Fire Rooster 1957 A Fire Rooster’s image is his most prized possession. He spends an inordinate amount of time trying to look good. To others he may appear vain. He flaunts a dramatic style, yet he is a brilliant social organizer who loves to plan parties and gatherings. Fire Cocks do have a tendency to be bossy and this combined with their innate bluntness often causes hurt feelings and bruised egos with friends and co-workers. In spite of these challenges these Roosters make great leaders, always creative, diligent and motivated. In matters of Love the Rooster fares best with the Ox, Snake and occasionally the Dragon. Expect conflict with the Rat, Tiger, Rabbit, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, and other Roosters. The Dog will bore you The Sheep requires lots of compromise. Wood signs will feed Fire, Water Signs will quench their heat. Earth signs will be created by Fire, Metal Signs will be melted by Fire. With just these few simple concepts the Fire Cock can seek the partner of their greatest compatibility In short marry a Wood Oxen or Snake Avoid the Water Rat. Roosters are generally pretty black or white when it comes to their feelings. They like you, or they don’t, / nothing in between. Vocal with opinions and ideas, Roosters can be tight-lipped about their personal emotions and feelings. They don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves. They are intensely private people who never kiss and tell. Roosters are not easy to live with. If you can get past their bossy, obstinate, my way or no way exterior, you find a wonderfully romantic, caring individual hidden beneath. Heart of solid gold and they genuinely care about their family and friends as much as they care about themselves. Not suited for a sensitive partner, their candor and wit can be humiliating many times. Roosters are often highly critical of their partners, expecting too much of them. / Roosters need a stable companion, someone who can take everything he dishes out. He needs someone who will stand up to him and his mincing words and quickly put him in place when need be. Roosters need partners who will deflate them when they are too high on themselves and at the same time tolerate their constant boasting. The Chinese lunar calendar is considered to be the longest chronological record of time, dating back to 2637 BC when the zodiac was first introduced. Each Chinese lunar year is represented by an animal sign. Lord Buddha realizing he was about to reach the final level of enlightenment requested a meeting with all the animals of the world so he could bless them. Only twelve animals responded. In recognition of their devotion, Lord Buddha then named each year of the twelve-year cycle in their honor. Each year is named according to the order in which the animals appeared before him. For centuries this system of five basic elements and twelve personality types has been used to help compatible couples find happiness and marital bliss. In the past matching was usually done by a village matchmaker. It is my intention to combine this ancient system of finding love with the modern internet. Millions of people use internet matchmaking sites only to find matches half way around the world. For a fraction of the price, you can buy your personalizes Chinese astrology shirt and the shirts of those best suited for you and start to wear them. Who knows a Fire Rabbit may just walk up to you and say “I have been looking for you all my life” Or you may be wearing a Water Tiger shirt and someone absolutely perfect says, “Hey that’s my sign” So let my grand social experiment begin.

Water Tiger 1962 The Water Tiger is a soothing and tranquil breed. Unlike most Tigers they have the ability to consider feelings and ideas from other people. This empathy makes them quite sensible and understanding. Fire Tigers are also born with a great intuitive power. They have excellent judgment and make accurate assessments of most situations. This Tiger is a bit indecisive, compared to other cats. It stems from their habit of watching and waiting before leaping. Water Tigers need to guard against excessive sleeping or daydreaming. This passive behavior will prohibit them from achieving the goals they initially set out to accomplish. No doubt about it Tigers are incredibly sexy people, beautiful and sensually romantic. Creative and spontaneous lovers they never lose their creative spark or flare for an evening of passion. Their partner is always exposed to a hint of danger and the curiosity of the unknown. A Tiger once committed will want to dominate and lead you. This natural nurturing mechanism if left unchecked will lead to complete control. This is one controlling and negative effect a Tiger can have on their partner, as opposed to the myriad of positive elements they bring to a relationship, trust, passion, politeness and spontaneity to name only a few. Tigers love excitement and require a partner who can keep up with all they want to see and do. The potential partner for a Tiger must be able to stand the random mood swings, the ups and downs, the good with the bad. Metal signs will collect Water; Water Signs will nourish Wood signs and quench Fire Signs. Water signs will be absorbed by Earth signs. With just these few simple concepts the Water Sheep can seek the partner of their greatest compatibility In matters of love Tigers fare best with the Horse, Dog and Pig.. Avoid the Monkey, Snake and Ox.. In short marry a Metal Horse and avoid the Fire Ox. To the Chinese the Tiger is said to be lucky, vivid, lively and engaging. Renowned for their incredible bravery and willingness to engage in battle it is often wondered if a Tiger is so brave because he is so lucky. It is said that having a Tiger in the house is the very best protection against the evils of fire and burglary. The Year of the Tiger is the third in the Chinese astrological cycle following the Year of the Ox and recurs every twelfth year. Though the starting day of the year may vary the majority of people born in the years 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 and 1998 are Tigers Tigers do not find worth in power or money. Completely honest about what they feel they expect the same of you. They seek approval from peers and family. Because of their charming personalities Tigers are usually well liked. Failing at a given task or being unproductive in personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a depression. Even more damaging is criticism from loved ones. Lke all felines, Tigers land on their feet, ready for their next act in life, pursuing it with unyielding energy and hunting to perfection. Tigers are relentlessly competitive – they cannot pass up a challenge, particularly if honor is at stake, or if protecting those they love. Tigers are unpredictable and it is fatal to underestimate their reactions. Even when appearing calm they may pounce without a moment’s warning. Always natural leaders, they have a strong sense of their own dignity, and when finding themselves members of the rank and file they can be stubborn and obstinate. In positions of power they are difficult though stimulating bosses. Tigers are intelligent, alert, and farsighted. Formidable enemies they are good strategists and tacticians always with a hidden agenda. Their only apparent weakness is they can risk their luck too often, and have great difficulty keeping their restless nature under control. More often than not their tactics pay off in life. The Chinese name for the Tiger is HU, the sign of courage. February is the month of the Tiger and as such the Western astrological counterpart is Aquarius. Tigers are known for courage, vehemence, self-Reliance, friendliness, hopefulness and resilience. Their weakness is vanity and a disregard for others.

The brother and sister recognized River from last fall and they both came to say “hello”. The “brand-new” fawn followed suit as her brother and sister seemed to know us and thought of us as “friends”. :) Before they circled my overjoyed dog and they all ran off together, they first make sure that they got their spring morning “family photo” taken. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

I was obscured by sea scrub bushes as he lumbered along the sandy path with difficulty; his knees stiff with arthritis, his knobbly hands clasped behind his back. He reminded me of an old tree full of whorls and gnarls and knots in the wood. I wondered fleetingly of his love for the ocean that made him hobble and drag himself across the sand towards the silvery lace of the sea. As he passed by unaware of my presence, he said in rusty tones, ‘Well love, looks like we’ve got the beach to ourselves today.’ Iwatched him walk to the water and put his feet in, imagining the salty comfort of his toes. I wondered what he missed the most: the smell of love on his skin, in his clothes and hair, or the feel of love beside him in his bed, or love’s face waiting for him at the end of each day that made all the days of rubies or coal worth it, or the way life felt measured by the love’s grace. I wondered if he missed the sound of love humming their favourite song in the next room. His hands of wood and knots stayed clasped behind his back. I bet he was a hand-holder, I thought, my eyes stinging. I bet he can still hear music in the next room.

Impressionist, Painterly. / The tender kiss is a wonderful feeling. / Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, and software. Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art, particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. / I create the painting, directly on my PC, by using a Wacom tablet, a stylus pen and ArtRage painting software. The Wacom tablet can be compared to a canvas or watercolor paper surface. The stylus pen is my paintbrush.

There is a heaven for animals! Inspired by this poem: Fragile Circle “We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. / Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. / We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, / never fully understanding the necessary plan.” Irving Townsend
