THE ALBATROS

 This is the Albatros. The friend of the sailor since medieval ages. The Albatros is the symbol of the Navy worldwide. The Flagman ship is usually christened as Albatros- the very very old tradition. The old saying of the sailors- Albatros on your neck- means- Albatros leads the way in the storm. Yes, Albatros flies through the wind of storms and leads the ship to the safe harbor. Albatros is a white bird- the leader of the fleet- and leads the way through the seas. He has his rest on the ship- always always. Albatros is always resting on the ropes of the sails- the trosses- here is where his name came out- The White bird on the tross of the ship- Caravelle. This is why Albatros is the sacred bird of the sailors. Yes, my husband has been the sailor. The albatros- was his personal most loved bird. I loved the ravens- he loved the albatroses- we loved the sea both. I love the waves, my husband used to warn me- the waves- it is the sea my dear, not the shore i am talking about.

I am adding the original picture of the Albatros bird- circa 1800ds,

THE KEY

By Ershebeth
 The art saves the world. The key to the world begins with the door. Let the door be open to the art. I do love art as You, however I love to transform the old art to my own likings.The art I do use in my transformations is from Public Domain. The art is just my musings and this is how I personally perceive the world- through the art. Life maybe rough sometimes, art maybe rough as well. My art does not ask for reflection- You reflect the art yourself in Your own mind. Critics are welcome as well.

THE DYNASTY

By Ershebeth
 As usual- this is only my personal opinion. I was born Douglas and married Douglas. My husband flew the seas like albatros- You are Douglas he said to me personally in Lithuania. He came to the funeral of my grandfather- the pilot- from the USA. He was the pilot, and I was the grand daughter of two pilots- The Dynasty of Douglas - the dynasty of the pilots was my family. Our love was nothing special- dinners and rest- household chores- he was the pilot. His plane had a name- OLD FRED- in Vietnam battlefields.We did not talk much- he showed me his scars- AAA - and burns of the tibia- asked to remember them as the doctor. Yes, he showed me his scars- he was the pilot and that was enough said for me. My personal attitude- soup for dinner, clean house- we needed only this both. Our love was simple. so were our lives together. All his comments about my soup were- American girl came home. Enough said.

BULL'S EYE

By Ershebeth
 What do you see in this picture? I do see the old lollipop of my childhood- our lollipops were red and white. What does the White color mean? Let us remember the old latin term of medicine- Tunica alba. Tunica alba- is the White cover of the Doctor and the Registered Nurse. - The White Gown of the Doctor, The White Gown of the Nurse. American nurse- Florence Nightingale established the Organization of The International Red Cross. This is why I chose the Red color as the background for the Golden Star. For the Star is the international symbol of many countries over the World. Black color- the color of the Mother Earth- The Fertile Soil.Let us remember the old game of chess- old as 4000 thousand years- the board is the 64 squares of Black and White Color. Two Kings - White and Black- the union of the countries- the game of chess. My husband has been Afroamerican, I am White- this is how i see our personal union- always White and Black- and our marriage was the union- the spiral to t...
