THE COMPLETE JACQUES TATI
A historical oil painting portrait of Mary Anning (1799–1847), the pioneering British fossil hunter, paleontologist, and self-taught scientist from Lyme Regis, Dorset, England. Painted by B. J. Donne in the 19th century (posthumous or based on contemporary sketches), it depicts her standing outdoors on a rocky coastal shore under a dramatic, stormy sky with dark clouds and a glimpse of the sea and distant cliffs in the background. She wears a long, dark green cloak with a hood, a red neck scarf, and a wide-brimmed bonnet tied under her chin. In her gloved right hand she holds a geological hammer (her iconic tool), and a small wicker basket hangs from her left arm, likely for carrying fossils. A loyal black-and-white dog (possibly her famous companion Tray) lies curled at her feet on the rocks. Mary Anning stands with a calm, resolute expression, gazing slightly upward and to the side, conveying quiet determination and intelligence. The painting's muted tones and romantic style emphasize her as a lone figure in a rugged, fossil-rich landscape, symbolizing her groundbreaking contributions to early paleontology despite societal barriers as a working-class woman.
Fossil collector & self-taught paleontologist Mary Anning's discoveries revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life.
"The greatest fossilist the world ever knew," she made her finds in the Jurassic marine fossil beds along the cliffs of Lyme Regis (UK). She died #OTD in 1847. #WomenInSTEM

as long term followers will know, I really enjoy using my film camera to essentially fake double exposure shots by taking pictures of the inside of cars through their windows, ideally on sunny days, and isn't this most recent one just wonderfully funky:
an artful world indeed 💐
The art of imaginary worlds is created with the image of actually going there and sketching.

Striking portrait of Miriam Makeba (1932–2008), the legendary South African singer, civil rights activist, and Grammy-winning "Mama Africa," captured in a warm, dramatic low-key lighting style. She is shown in close-up, three-quarter view facing slightly left, with a calm, confident, and knowing expression—her dark eyes gazing directly at the viewer with a subtle, warm smile. Her skin glows richly against the deep brown background.Makeba wears a striking traditional African-inspired headwrap of intricate metallic beaded mesh in silver and gold tones. Around her neck is a multi-layered choker of thick gold neck rings, complemented by large, dangling gold earrings and multiple thin gold bangles stacked on her left arm. Her arms are crossed gently over her chest, emphasizing poise and strength. The rich earth-tone backdrop and soft shadowing highlight her dignified presence, elegance, and cultural pride, evoking her powerful legacy in anti-apartheid activism and global music.
Miriam Makeba, "Mama Africa," was a South African singer whose voice stirred hopes of freedom among millions in her country with music that was banned by the apartheid authorities she struggled against.
She was born #OTD in 1932. #WHM #WomensHistoryMonth
Photo of a lichen covered, dead, grey tree branch. The end of the branch looks like a face with a spiky top. Overall itboooks a bit like the character, Groot. The branch is covered in yellow and orange disc-shaped lichen apothecia.
