Spring gives way to warm days as the summer season nears, and we begin to see deer fawns, one of the most appealing sights in nature. The young deer's life of growing into a mature deer begins to unfold, it is growing rapidly.
The doe guides the newborn to specific feeding areas, and of course, the fawn quickly learns where the nutrients are. Besides periodically nursing from its mother, the deer fawn is able to forage on its own within just a few weeks after birth. Yet it is still dependent on its mother's milk which has twice the protein and energy per unit volume as cow's milk, is high in fat and vitamins, and possesses colostrum, which is basically an antibiotic to resist disease.

City and County of Denver building
Denver was not always pretty. In the beginning it was a dusty town on the high plains, hot in the summer, windy and cold in the winter. Most Denverites don't know how much of a thanks they need to give to former Mayor Speer's "City Beautiful Movement" in the early 1900's. Many old trees and abundent parkland are a testiment to his legacy.
The Beaux-Art Neoclassical granite-and-travertine City and County of Denver building, built in 1932, was the crowning glory of then-Mayor Speer's dream of creating "Paris on the Plains". It also marked the end of the City Beautiful era in Denver.
The City and County building now resting serenely on the tapis vert of the Denver Civic Centre, and its decorative panels, festooned with geometric patterns that cover the cornice facing east and west, gives no hint of the struggles over neoclassicism versus modernism, electoral and professional politics, and the legal interpretations once swirling about it. Planned and completed over a 26 year period by 39 local architects, the City and County building, ajdected to the golden-domed Denver Capitol, is a striking partner to the gilded treasure of the city.

Chrysler Building NYC - Streamlined majesty
The Chrysler Building, a skyscraper in New York City on the east side of Manhattan, is a classic example of Art Deco architecture.
In 1929, auto tycoon Walter Chrysler took part in an intense race with the Bank of Manhattan Trust Company to build the world's tallest skyscraper. Just when it looked like the bank had captured the coveted title, workers at the Chrysler Building jacked a thin spire hidden inside the building through the top of the roof to win the contest. A few months later the Chrysler Building lost the title to the Empire State Building.
Most of the year the Chrysler Building is closed to the public, so it's a real treat to get in and see its treasures. The building's lobby is an art deco extravaganza of amber, onyx, marble and chrome, Egyptian motifs provide attractive accents, and the lobby's ceiling is completely covered with a large mural; the interior of each elevator cab in the building is decorated with different patterns of inlaid, exotic wood; the building's famous and elusive private luncheon room, the Cloud Club, has been converted to office space; the 71st floor observation deck has triangular windows, with the walls having stars and the lights appearing as saturn; and inside the highest point of the building's interior (inside the spire), only accessible by stairwell, then ladder, sits a toilet. My source is unsure of whether it is still functional, and I couldn't go up there myself to find it out, so I can only imagine what a gorgeous view of the city one must have from up there!!
In daylight, with its stainless-steel crown gleaming in the sun, or at night, when the triangular windows of that crown are lit up, lined up in seven curving rows that overlap like fish scales as they stretch up to that swordfish-nose spire, the Chrysler Building always looks like the future. It's Jazz Age poetry, rendered timeless by the ever-changing sky around it.

Midnight Cowboy
We may be taught not to judge a book by its cover, but when we see a new face, our brains decide whether a person is attractive and trustworthy within a tenth of a second.
The lines in this man-s face carry the story of his life. It is a glimpse into the soul of a survivor - a man weathered by life and the elements. It is a portrait without pride, but equally without surrender.

Cyperus papyrus
Large heads of pendulous leaves, greenish flower spikelets that can measure 1' across, thats Papyrus. Our English word "paper", is derived from the word "papyrus", an Egyptian word.
The papyrus reed that grows in freshwater marshes along the river Nile is a light, strong, thin, durable and easy to carry plant. It was used for mattresses, building chairs, tables, and other furniture, for mats, baskets, boxes, sandals, utensils, rope and boats. The papyrus root was a source of food, medicine and perfume. And for thousands of years, there was nothing better for the purpose of writing than Papyrus.
However, gradually, the Egyptians abandoned the production of Papyrus and neglected the cultivation of their papyrus plantations. Eventually, papyrus itself disappeared from the Egyptian landscape, and the ancient Egyptians left little evidence about the manufacturing process to turn papyrus reed into Papyrus. It wasn't until the second half of the 1960s that an Egyptian scientist named Dr. Hassan Ragab finally figured out how it was done, and now, after a very long absence, the art of Papyrus-making is back in Egypt.
In 1969 and 1970, the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus, Ra and Ra II, in an attempt to demonstrate that ancient African or Mediterranean people could have reached America in papyrus boats. He succeeded in sailing Ra II from Morocco to Barbados.

Garfield in the skies
The humble cloud. Probably one of the most-photographed subjects they somehow still manage to captivate us time and time again.
It sounds silly to say that clouds have emotions, but think about it: White fluffy clouds seem to be happy clouds. Gray, dreary clouds that come with rain seem to be sad clouds. Giant gray or black clouds that block the sky seem to be threatening or scary.
Clouds are what makes the sky look so interesting. As soon as one begins to study the vast number of possible cloud forms and varieties, one realizes that there is more to discover than there is time to observe! Look up at the sky and find out for yourself how amazing and awe-inspiring cloudy skies actually are. They are an endless source of inspiration.

Bodie CA - Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Bodie, in the Sierra Nevada near the Nevada state line, is California's best preserved ghost town, and probably the best preserved ghost town in the United States. The elevation is quite high so access is only possible during the summer months. It is a complete town with old stores, homes, a church, school, hotel, bank, saloons, gymnasium, club, and many mining buildings, all in a state of "arrested decay".
Try to picture what it was like when the buildings were still occupied and what life was like! Peoples' struggles; hard work. The climate is harsh, the ground hard. No power; no a/c; no hospital. And Bodie was certainly not a peaceful place. The harsh reality of the peoples' life is evident everywhere. The cemetery is particularly poignant with many graves of small children; babies and young women.
If you like the old west and the lifestyle of the pioneers in the Gold Rush days you will love Bodie.

Marina City Chicago IL
Marina city, built by Architect Bertrand Goldberg, is a complex of two cylindrical 60-story towers near the Chicago River, Chicago, Illinois. Due to their unique shape, the towers are locally known as the 'corn cobs'.
Marina City was a large, ambitious project, financed by a union hoping to slow an exodus to the suburbs that started after World War II. The towers were the tallest residential buildings in the world when completed in the mid-1960s, and with numerous on-site amenities it was often called a "city within a city." The apartments in the twin concrete "corncob" towers are all different, and their balconies are huge. Most of them have great river or city views. They have historically attracted residents with strong, often eccentric personalities.
Bertrand Goldberg's corncob-shaped twin towers are almost as much a symbol of Chicago as the historic old Water Tower. His vision of thriving, densely populated cities helped trigger the revival that now sweeps many of the nation's downtowns.

Brunnenbuberl - Boy at the fountain - Munich Germany
The Brunnenbuberl (here ice-covered) in Munich, Germany, a sculpture by Matthias Gasteiger, features a naked young boy spraying water on an old Satyr while he, in return, is spitting water on the boy.
The sculpture had won a gold medal at the Paris World’s Fair, but when Munich's residents saw the 'scandalous' Brunnen-Buberl at Munich's Karlstor in 1895, more than 300 bathing suits were sent to the artist by upset citizens and no less than Prince Luitpold himself visited the sculptor's studio and asked him to add at least a fig leaf to hide the "most precious part" of the boy. The artist refused.
To this day, the Brunnenbuberl - English: Boy at the fountain - stands naked at Munich's Karlstor, near Stachus, and the water fountain is one of the most popular fountains in München.

Shadows of Winter
Snow is many things: Light, a mirror, a ground cover, a clean canvas, a blank page ready to be written on.
Stillness. Silence. Clarity of air. Nostrils tingle. Breath condenses. Fresh snow, pure and innocent, new snow, white, glistening, soft, powdery snow, feet crunching pristine snow. A pure joy!
Snow makes everything seem quiet and peaceful, especially when the sun casts long, dramatic, cascading shadows like from this bare tree. Shadows sharp and dark, shadows light and fuzzy, light absorbed, light reflected, snow sparkle, ice glare. Snow lights up shade, creates mirrors, provides contrast.
What a wonderful winterworld!

Icicle in reverse
An icicle is a spike of ice, usually hanging down, formed when water falling from an object freezes. The icicle in this photograph however was rising from the floor towards the sky.
Is it possible that a glittering ice stalagmite froms from the floor up? Yes,it is - in a "supercooling" situation. A snow-covered roof on a sunny, frigid day makes a perfect icicle stalagmite incubator.
Snow on the rooftop, melted by the sun,trickled as lukewarm water from the roof and landed on the extremely cold floor in the shade where it instantly refroze and formed sheets of thin ice crystals. These crystals, like those in snowflakes, formed a 60 degree angle and created the base of the ice spike as it grew in this strange angle. Ice added to ice, drip by drip, and slowly the icicle grew towards the sky. It's a pretty neat phenomenon.
This reverse icicle was about 20 cm long. Of course it has melted now, but I was in awe when I watched it grow. It was a good reminder that there are still a million wonders of nature out there waiting for our discovery!

The Real Black Santa
Saint Nicholas [270-310], a dark-skinned man who has been referred to as a 'Moor from Africa', was once Bishop of Myra ("Myrrh"), now called Demre, a town in Anatolia, the territory of modern Turkey. His beard and his reputation are world famous. However, say the words "Santa Claus" and a general image usually comes to mind: a jolly, rosy-cheeked, overweight white guy with a white beard in a red velvet suit. And why would it be any different? After all, it's the image that many have been raised on since they were old enough to crawl.
In early Christianity images were truer to what Jesus (and Saint Nicholas) may have looked like. They were drawn with darker skin because there's no way that they were white men with blue eyes. Now some Christians may say that it is not important what color they were, because of the message that they came to deliver. But that can only be the case in a color blind world. I still have to watch a parade and see a black, Asian, Latino or even First Nations Santa. Santa is a mythical person, who need not be bound specifically in white skin.
I was taught that Santa could look like any of the children he visits. Makes sense, especially for a magical guy who flies in a reindeer-drawn sleigh.
The Real Black Santa embodies the true spirit of the holiday. He's a symbol of friendship and cookies spreading yuletide cheer, and he is an expert in the art of gift giving. Santa is whatever we want him to be, but brown skin makes him a more authentic St. Nick.
