My friend
The other day listening to the radio I heard about a project that is recording what lives beneath the ocean. A collaboration of 80 nations, the Census of Marine Life will expose the life, diversity and health of our world oceans. This ten-year research project is available on the internet, with a stunning gallery of images that is breath taking and life giving. Enjoy. It sure made me take a second look at my ocean file photograph.

From the garden
Bee conservation
This photograph was an experiment recorded in my garden in Buxheim. We grew a garden to encourage bumblebees, birds, and butterflies. I rather like the black and white, high key image, it leaves the color to the imagination while preserving the texture of the bees and sunflowers. If you want to promote bee culture in your garden, I suggest sunflowers, they just love it. It is difficult to believe that these sweet creatures are threatened.

Reunion: Summer of ’64 Freedom Rides Remembered
The Summer of ’64, also known as the Freedom Summer was a campaign to register voters, principally people of color and to promote and support their right-to-vote in Mississippi, in the summer of 1964. The project was a collaborative effort unifying community and civil rights leaders, students, and people of faith. Pictured are (l-r) The mother of slain CORE community voting organizer Andrew Goodman with a Mississippi community activist, youth participating in the day of remembrance and reunion, USC Academic, writer, and Mississippi civil rights Dr. Endesha Ida Mae Holland, and noted Professor, Writer and American Civil Rights Leader Julian Bond. All photos (exception of Dr. Holland) were taken in Jackson Mississippi, August 1994 published in the Washington Post.

Thinking warm thoughts
I thought this might be a good day to publish a photo representing warmth, color, and the eventuality of spring. Think warmth!
