Central and eastern Oregon is spotted with once vibrant farming communities that today exist as little more than a crossroads. This old church served such a community. It remains standing but the town it once served is no more. Please check out my series Grain Elevator, Sherman County, Oregon for a look at another historic Oregon building. More images: /

The information says: “Built in 1910, the Pigeon Tower was an elaborate summerhouse and lookout with three storeys linked by a stone spiral staircase. Ornamental doves and pigeons were kept in adjacent dove cotes and lofts, whilst the Pigeon Tower was reputedly used by Lady Lever for a sewing room. / Extensive repair works have been undertaken to this building including the replacements of the floors in 1974 and in 2005 it was completely re-roofed.” / It is a fantastic place to visit! Which is located in Rivington Pike, Lancashire near Winter Hill! / Laminated Print / / Card / / Framed Print /

The beautiful Spring Gardens at Roosengaarde in Skagit Valley are a sight to behold. I stopped by the last Sunday in April last year to see this amaziing display of tulips and rhododendrons. A beautiful memory and it always is on my list of places to visit in Springtime. Here is the link to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival; http://www.tulipfestival.org/ Camera; Nikon D60 / Lens AF-S NIKKOR 18-55 mm Featured in COTTAGE STYLE group ~ 10 April 2009
This is a great Blue Heron done in haida/coast salish style and is often called the watcher by Coast Salish tribes. Before the European contact in the Pacific Northwest coast wars were waged between many of the different tribes so there was always the threat of a village being raided. Most Coast Salish villages are located at a mouth of a salmon bearing river which also happens to be a habitat for blue herons so villages would have these birds located outside in the water. The herons would act as an alarm system and start flying and squawking if a war canoe or anything else was approaching the village. I decided to draw this because the other day I witnessed this happened while I was collecting water samples of the river for my work and as soon as the heron seen me it turned around flew the opposite way and warned all the other animals that a human was approaching the river.

Where I live on Vancouver Island Garry oaks are a part of a very endangered ecosystem that only grows in this part of the world. The Garry oak ecosystem has over 100 species at risk within it. Many of the species in the ecosystem where very important for my tribe in the past with my ancestors using many of the plants and animals for both medicine and food. Only around 5% of these ecosystems still exist with most of them gone from urban development and overgrown with non-native species. Part of my research as an environmental scientist for my tribe T’Sou-ke involves me in a major mapping project finding the locations of the remaining trees and ecosystems and hopefully restoring these damaged lands in the future.
View of Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA, from a pullout on the West side. Wizard Island in the center. This is the smallest portion of the lake. The biggest part is on the other side of the Island. The lake is 6 miles long and 5 miles wide and almost 2,000 feet deep. It is an ancient volcano cauldron that sits on top of the Cascade mountain range. It is very accessible to visit, though. There is even wheelchair access.
Eagles are very plentiful on this day, and very hungry! A good trade I figure, a meal for almost 400 pictures, smile! I came within 10 feet of him, and he wasn’t worried at all. Got some fantastic shots..this is one! Thank you for viewing and have a great day! /
He sees his prize and he is watching out for any overhead visiters, unwanted visitors I should say! He first landed on the reefer of the tracker trailer…checking things out before jumping down to the dock. Taken at my workplace in Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, Canada! He is just the most beautiful adult eagle I have ever seen and I have seen a few! / Thank you for viewing…feel free to leave a comment. I hope you like!! /
2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This Outdoor Series was created during the time that my Feral Child and Feral Woman were emerging. I had a claustrophobic time being inside anywhere…even my own house. I could only BREATHE outside. So I spent many days and nights outside. I moved my studio outside. I painted outside only. This series of paintings, I am convinced, cannot live indoors because it will choke the life out of them and they will die; so this series is prepared with heavy heavy sealants to live outdoors forever. I place each one very carefully in their “chosen” place. Each must be a compliment in the truest sense of the word to nature. You can never out-create nature. The series can be vibrant and subdued at the same time, depending on its environment. So once each has found their interconnected, noncompetitive place in the landscape, I watch. I enjoy watching these outdoor paintings live their life! How they communicate and play and change with the light, the blooms, the seasons! It is wondrous to witness! Their subtle variations and transformations are always perfectly, proportionately in sync with nature’s doings. Truly awesome! My ART has reached a Nirvana of sort in this context. It feels so right in my soul. Now you know why I must LIVE outdoors and garden and paint! I have never before felt such passion, such joy, and such inspiration! I continue to paint for this series. I will continue to take photographs of these art pieces as they change, as different colored blooms come to surround them. You must see! Thank you for looking and reading about this ongoing process of healing in my life. Please do comment, as I would love to hear how this effects the Beholder. Thank you. Outdoor Art Series Garden Wall (description for context): Grass and dirt in the lower right corner. To the right of this art piece is a large Japanese Cherry Tree which now has buds that will bloom into beautiful bright pink flowers soon. Just above the art is a flowering tree with white flowers. Ground level to the right is green grass with assorted wildflowers and black dirt and pink wild roses ground cover and white flox ground cover. To the left of this piece is a tall white birch and two creamy white rhododendron bushes. In front and to the left slightly of this art/nature scene is our black/coppery outdoor dining table and chairs with basil leaf motif, the shepherd’s hook with (on sale steal) crystal chandelier/candelabra, and natural strung rope hammock! My garden is the PERFECT place for dining and entertaining. Bocce too! Do come see us! I am just so grateful that I can SEE! That my vision returned from blindness, along with my color vision. That I am alive at all! A miracle and a blessing! See the others in the series /
