Buzz, what are the urns embedded in the masonry in your photo at the top of the page?
They are urns that the students at the Sichuan Institute of Fine Arts create. Those 3 are embedded in the campus wall, and there must be a thousand more all over the campus.
Ah. I thought they might have been funerary remains.
LOL. Nope, their only contents, if any, might be dirt.

A super photo - the colour, the composition - you can actually FEEL it.
I thought that was snow when I first looked at it..🤣
Jeez, that look a bit precarious for the sailboat. I imagine they turned away before dragging their keel, but the photo makes It looks like the wind is about to blow them ashore.
Nice shot!
I was wondering if someone might question that. Secret: It's a "manipulated" photo. The main photo (beach and ocean) is a photo I took at Zuma, which is north of Malibu. The sailboat is from a photo I took in Sydney Harbor, Australia. Also, the ocean is really on the left, facing north. I turned it around. This view in Zuma, with the ocean on the right, would be looking south. I thought it looked better this way. Computer fun.
Excellent work on your part.
Ah, cool.
Thanks!
I thought the boat looked a bit too close to shore, but if I made it look farther in the distance it would be smaller than I wanted it to be.
I was originally looking at it on a desktop without an easy zoom capability, but I checked in a while ago on a tablet and was able to scale it and noticed the edit.
Still a nice job. It totally fooled me.
I don't even use Photoshop or one of the other advanced photo editing apps. Just PowerPoint and the basic Microsoft editing. Sometimes the editing functions on my Samsung cell phone and a couple of other very simple editing apps. I could probably do a much better job if I learned how to use an advanced editing app like Photoshop.
It isn't even Saturday in America yet and this Creative Arts Weekend article is about to be pushed off the Front (Home) Page due to almost total non-participation. A.Mac will be so disappointed, as he is too involved with something that cannot be ignored.

I'm not so sure that it's weird, save that it's too perfect.
Arvo... went for a walk the other night around the block..was the first taste of Summer where the temperature got over 25c.. been an absolute crap Spring and looks like Summer may not be far behind..
It was nearly a full moon and it was kind of misty and eerie...
Someone has decorated their house with Christmas lights..
I like misty moons.
I love Christmas lights. Can't imagine them in summer, though. LOL
This Red Nerve Plant ( Fittonia albivenis ) in my aquarium flowered when I wasn't looking...
The goblin saw it first.
Gracie wasn't interested in the cat tree when I had it in the corner, so I moved it over by the stairs. Much better.
Pileated Woodpecker.
A couple of does in the backyard.
A Brown-headed Cowbird peeking in a window on the first snowy day. He stayed there for a good 5 minutes.
Loafing.
Two movies.
You can't put Gracie in a corner.
A doe, a deer a female deer.. .
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
You movie guru.
Although, I think it's Baby in a corner, not Gracie.
Yes, but baby wasn't a cat.
