Elijah - Morning Run

26 March 2013

Elijah quickly tires of my ambling around the yard and goes into his wolf-chase-mode charging at good speed around the yard, the house, the wood-rick for several minutes before charging me, going for my groin, or ankles and giving me shivers of what if he were to be serious - I'd be ripped asunder.  I believe that in this photo that he has three legs off the ground with his right rear leg firmly planted for the turn (you can see the paw just behind his upper left leg).

Blue Heron Snow - II

snow was general all over the county. It was falling on every part of the dark central river of the Chesapeake, on the forested hills, falling softly upon the Whittaker Barrens and, farther eastward softly falling into the dark mutinous Atlantic waves. It was falling, too, upon the Blue Heron, stoically standing their day on the waters

Pixelation - It's Not New

Portions of an ancient (about 5 A.D.) floor with the scene being composed of many small colored stone tiles.  These floors were originally in the homes of wealthy people in the middle east but both natural trauma and destroying wars demolished the buildings and eventually they were covered by centuries of deposition of earth.  In about 1932 The Baltimore Museum of Art gave assistance in the way of money and volunteers to help in the archeological digs to help expose the ancient ruins and these fabulous works of art.  In thanks for the help a number of sections of the flooring was given by the owning country to The Baltimore Museum of Art
