How about some photo art

My late friend Moe the Crow

[nirgal]

...or political commentary
:p

[HoneySuckleBlue]

That's a pretty cool picture of Moe:)

[nirgal]

Moe was a cool Crow :) He hung around and would peer into the windows or follow me around the nursery. He had a tribe of 5 crows that lived in the woods out back, and we would feed them table scraps and left over parrot food. If breakfast wasn't timely he'd sit outside the window and caw and fuss 'till something was done, (they have an amazing vocabulary). This went on for 5 or 6 years, alas, he died from West Nile Virus about 3 years ago. I saw one of his offspring the other day, sitting in the same place he used to and cawing at the window :)



My girls at 6 and 10

[nirgal]

Yeah, that was '88, somewhere in New South Wales,Aus. That's my Holden Torrana rust bucket :rolleyes: The oldests wedding is this coming Feb, I get to go back downunder :D and the youngest is preggers.....

I haven't tried gorilla glue on the violin, because it expands and looks foamy, and I like the instant gratification of ssuper glue. Ever work with two part epoxys and additives? good stuff :p

[mariecstasy]

[HoneySuckleBlue]

You're gonna freak if you come down here this weekend, your youngest looks just like Virginia, my youngest. Sooo cute!!!

What were you guys doing over in Australia agian??

[nirgal]

Cute little blonde girls, Now they're cute grown up little blonde girls :)

They moved down there when my ex remarried. I'd go down in the winter for a month or so and we'd car camp and play......

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Oh, wow!! full face shot of Nirgal...the fogs have lifted, lol! (and she's so pretty , all grown up!!)

That had to be interesting! Did you meet any Aboriginees??:D (I always wanted to run away and go live with aboriginees and learn the secrets of dream time...)

[nirgal]

I met a couple of them, but they weren't into the old ways.
The followers of the dreaming stay away from the white culture for the most part. We mean nothing more than a passing storm. A lot lost their way..... 40,000 years!

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Man, that's a looong time. That's good to know, bout us being a passing storm...and I was worried:)

[nirgal]

Lightening man
Read the Book.."Song Lines" it's excellent :)

[nirgal]

or rather "Songlines" by Chatwin

"......He liked their artful ways of dealing with the whiteman. He had learn't or half-learnt, a couple of their languages and had come away astonished by their intillectual vigour, their feats of memory and will to survive. They we not he insisted a dying race- although they did need help, now and then, to get the government and mining companies off their backs.
It was during his time as a school teacher that Arkady learned of the labyrinth off invisible pathways which meander all over Austalia and are known to Europeans as 'Dreaming Tracks' or 'Songlines'; to the Aboriginals as 'footprints of the Ancestors' or ' the way of the Law'
Aboriginal creation myths tell of legendary totemic beings who had wandered over the continent in the Dreamtime, singing out the name of everything that crossed their path ==== and so singing the world into existence...."

Each tribe has a Totem and a song of the world, they can cross their land with a song to guide them from place to place following the "foot prints of the ancestors...

...so little I know ;)

[nirgal]

Just heard from the young one Jess :) they are moving off the farm into a real house in town... baby coming soon :) Dreamtime :p

[HoneySuckleBlue]

That book sounds really interesting, I'll have to see if I can find it!

Aw, that stinks they are moving into town, farms are so much fun for kids. There is always so much to do...that's gotta be a trip thinking about your baby getting ready to have a baby of her own:) (It freaks me out when I realise mine is already ten, I can't wait to see what she's like when she gets older and we get to be friends.)

[nirgal]

I don't think town will be permanent, Her Beaux's parents own the farm and they had a small cabin built out on the land somewhere. Probably be good for those first few months when you don't feel like doing much...

When your kids have kids, it really changes the perspective on things....
The space between 22 and fifty isn't that big, at least from 50 ;)
I just have a bigger reference library :D
