I thought I'd have some fun today and post pictures I don't normally post. I saw this beautiful, fresh bouquet of flowers on one of the altars of the Church of the Visitation in Westphalia, Texas.

Gold Star of David with Gold and Pink Flowers 12.1
Image by ♥ Crystal Writer ♥
This was another accidental image capture. I was doing something else and the Silicon Mirror capture window stopped here. The golden Stars of David surround by the bright pink and gold colors and flowers just grabbed my attention.
In honor of my grandmother and aunt, let the pink in this picture remind you to click to give at http://www.thebreastcancersite.com and yes, it really works. All you have to do is click and it will add funds to give women free mammograms. While you're there, you can also click to give at the other sites run by Greater Good Network: Animal Rescue, Hunger, Literacy, Rainforests, and Child Health.

Your Very Own Day
Image by drp
I am sorry I have not uploaded anything today until now. I have had much to think about this morning, and I will tell you all about it tomorrow. Outside of that, it's my mother's 75th birthday, and I wanted to take her out for lunch. We went to visit my brother over the weekend, and had a nice dinner, but I felt like doing something for her today myself. She has given me alot in this life, so any chance I get I try and take care of her, even in small ways. Sometimes my frustrations get the best of me, and I snap at her when I shouldn't. I need to be more accepting of her weakening emotional and psychological health. Anyway, my cousins sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and so I thought I would post a picture of them here. Happy birthday, mom. I love you very much.

Sweet Nectar after a Light Sun Rain Shower, Pink Romantic Red Rose Petals & Landing Bumble Bee Guest Getting a Drink
Image by Beverly & Pack
I had not expected the visiting bee on the wet pink rose petals after a sun shower that gently sprayed the flower with nature's tears. If you look at the bee's wings, there are also drops of rain on his wings. It was strictly an accident that he landed and got into the picture after I had focused on the flower!
I am releasing this picture to the public domain. It may be used any way desired, including personal and commerical usage. If possible, I'd love to see how it's used if you'd leave a comment and a link below. Thank you.

I had every intention of photographing my mom or my mother-in-law but nothing worked out. I guess a picture of my wife will have to do since she will be a mother some day.
Our niece gave this flower to Jessica as a gift so I made to get a quick of it. the day was a blur but a good one since I was able to see all the family.

Should I change my Icon to this Cornus florida? My current one is Cornus kousa, the Japanese dogwood. Both are from my yard but this is the native species.

March for the Alternative 南無妙法蓮華経
Image by Dominic's pics
The text on this banner (南無妙法蓮華経) is a Buddhist mantra, the same characters in both old Japanese and Chinese. It is called Daimoku (題目, and sometimes お題目). The mantra is chanted in Nichiren Buddhism, founded on the teachings of a 13th century Japanese monk. One translation of this mantra is: "I take refuge in (devote or submit myself to) The Wonderful Law of the Lotus Flower Sutra". The lotus sutra is an important Bhuddist religious text, a philosophy - in parts more than 2000 years old.
These Buddhists are right trouble makers you know. One minute they are campaigning for democracy in Burma and asking to be banged up in prison, the next they are Marching for the Alternative, whining on about the Cuts... (If you are not native British English, the tone of this paragraph is intended as a joke. Truth be told, it is hard to find an aggressive or angry Buddhist, it is not really part of the deal. Please don't complain to flickr... ☺)
On the right, the spire of Big Ben can be seen - through some foliage - in the background.
Part of a set / slideshow of "point an shoot" images - taken with a very high sensor speed to minimise camera shake (and so with excessive image noise), and hastily fixed in Photoshop. The pictures were taken at the TUC organised "March for the Alternative" in London on Saturday 26th of March 2011, to protest against government cutbacks, and a belief that the economic recovery may be sabotages by the speed and levels of the cuts.
Between a quarter and a half a million people attended. The march terminated in a rally in Hyde Park. Because the numbers of participants were so large, the rally was over by the time I eventually got to the park...

24K inlaid lacquer painting - Tianjin
Image by h8laib8ng
Size
Length: 3.15m
Width: 0.8m
Height: 2.18m
The gift was presented by the Municipal Government of Tianjin to celebrate Macao’s return to the People’s Republic of China. The main feature of the huge shield is the 24K inlaid lacquer painting. The exquisite graphic design originates from Yangliuqing New Year Pictures. The Yangliuqing New Year Pictures can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) and are named after Liuyangqing, a town in western suburban Tianjin. The main techniques applied in this work are found in the wood chromatography and freehand drawing. The application of colour is firstly completed by wood block painting and then repainted by hand afterwards. Yangliuqing New Year Pictures are traditionally bright in colour and together with the rich sources of folk legends, historical stories, ancient fairy tales, folk conventions and landscapes, the Pictures have a unique artistic style and a strong local theme.
The picture on the shield depicts a plump Chinese girl, smiling and embracing a golden fish and a lotus flower. This design represents the prospect of success and joy, symbolising the people in Tianjin celebrating Macao’s return. The frame of the shield is made of red wood with a double side cutout of Chinese roses (the traditional flower of Tianjin) surrounded by the fret, implying Macao’s return to the People’s Republic of China. The tops of the columns on both sides are in the shape of a lotus to indicate Tianjin and Macao’s quest for prosperity together.
