Wonderful artist, earthquake, & pictures

If you want to see very nice art with a strong meaning, go and read (and look) at Judy's blog: Red velvet. I put a direct link to her latest creation Numbers. It is wonderful, plus she explains why she chose to use this material instead of another, why she did that or this. I really like her work and she looks to be a wonderful person too!

The Earth shacked again in Arusha last night at around 9 p.m. local time. Magnitude 5.0... not a big one (furniture and frames not swinging) but strong enough so I can feel myself vibrating!

Benoît was supposed to have a short day and come back to Arusha around 1 p.m.... well, he is stuck overnight in the bush. It is not a bad place but it was NOT planned (if the girls from the office can read that! and please read between the lines also!!!). And tomorrow, he will not be home before 6 p.m.... grrr

I worked a bit on my pictures yesterday night so here are a few.

This is an African spoonbill. The picture was taken back in June in the Tarangire National Park.

Also in Tarangire, a landscape. I forced a bit on the contrast but nothing was added to the picture!

This picture was not supposed to finished in back & white and I did a test and I really liked it like that. What do you think?

What is this? Elephant skin taken from quite close. It was a blurry and the colors were not nice so before deleting the pictures I put in in Black & White to see... well...  It is kind of abstract but it does not look that bad so I decided to keep it.
