CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND - OOOPS! LATE AGAIN
CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND - OOOPS! LATE AGAIN
I've not been posting much lately, no articles for a couple of days, so my attention has been elsewhere - watching a bunch of movies I've not seen before. But that shouldn't stop anyone from showing us what they have photographed, painted, sculpted, grown, built or created no matter what. Let's see what you've got. You have lots of time, cause I'll add a day to this weekend and close the article Monday night.
RED BOX RULES: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER
From time-to-time, I should remind all members of NT, etc., that when posting photos, artwork, etc., it's important, when posting, that you own, and/or legally represent the licensing, copyright, etc., of what you post, and TO PROTECT YOUR WORK, TO INCLUDE YOUR COPYRIGHT SYMBOL/INFORMATION; and/or, WHEN POSTING COPYRIGHTED PROPERTY BELONGING TO PARTIES OTHER THAN YOURSELF, TO …
• BE SURE YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO POST, TRANSMIT, etc, SUCH PROPERTY, and,

VERY IMPORTANT … IN THE FUTURE, I WILL REMEMBER TO POST THIS CAVEAT REGULARLY.
Thanks, A. MAC

Just an odd bunch of floral shots from my photo collection.

Good to have you here, Buzz!
Great pictures.
I appreciate that, Thomas.
Nice. I especially like #5 for the mountains in the background and #7.
Number 5 was taken when we were in Yangshuo, where we ended up on the cruise down the Li River through the Karst Mountains. The mountains in the photo surround the town, and look carefully just to the right of the top flower to see a half-moon-like opening in one of the mountains which is in fact called Half-Moon Hill.
Number 7 is dogwood, which is both a tree and a flower as indicated in the movie The American President when the President, Andrew Sheppard (Michael Douglas), was unsuccessfully trying to send flowers (Dogwood being the State flower of Virginia) to Sidney Wade (Annette Bening) who was from the Commonwealth of Virginia. So he sent her a Virginia Ham instead,
Nice, Buzz. My faves are 2 and 7.
I like the spooky shape of the trunk and branches of that tree, but I have no idea what kind of tree it is. Judging from its flowers it's probably some kind of fruit tree.
Arvo..
It's 12 months since our Aussie American friend Kavika walked on..
If he runs into my Mum who passed away 3 weeks ago, I think they will be up for a very good yack..
I miss my Mum and Kavika..🥀🥀
For my Mum..🥀
For Kavika..🥀
Bow your head and remember the greatness of the past.... Thank you, Kav
Miss you, Kavika. You were truly one of a kind. A special human being.
Raising a glass of red vino to David and Red!
I miss Kavika as well - he was one of the best of the best on NT.
I'm going to take the liberty here of posting a photo of Kavika's strong handsome son, who was injured in the attack on the barracks in Beirut in 1983.
I miss Kavika very much. We had some great conversations and shared a whole lot of laughs. We had even talked about getting together sometime when he came through L.A., but sadly, that never happened.
One of the things the three of us have in common is that we all spent time In China.
He went everywhere. I don't know if there was a country he didn't visit.
He certainly did get around more than most.
I was thinking about Kavika just the other day. So sad he's gone.
I was thinking of doing some research on old articles on NT to come up with a retrospective on Kavika's images.

I enjoy seeing the world through your lens.
Seconded.
Thanks, guys.
Nice one, G!
Thanks, Thomas.
I made some new garage shelves.
I included a cat ladder on the back.
The oaks are starting to leaf out. It wont be long before that green pollen is everywhere.
Female bluebird.
Red-bellied woodpecker.
House sparrow.
The hummingbirds have returned, but the wrens haven't yet.
Irises.
The brand new apple trees are actually flowering. It'll be great if I get a few apples the very first year.
Gracie's playmate, Pickles, a neighbor's cat that practically lives over here now.
That's a fabulous collection of photos. Gracie's the "King of the Castle", and your yard is, in a totally positive and not at all in a negative way, for the birds.

The extended weekend is now done, so I'm closing this article now. Thanks to all who posted and voted. See you next weekend.
