Jazz or non-jazz photos

Five years working on my garden is at last paying off:

That's one of the north Nottinghamshire tigers, I suppose?

I was home sick when my wife went to visit her Mother in an assisted living facility. That's her on the left. Dominique Eade gave a performance that night - she is on the right. She told my wife that she should take a picture of the guy in the middle as he's the real jazz master in the room. I don't recognize him. My guess is Charlie Mariano but I thought he was both ill and living somewhere in Europe or Africa. Does anyone recognize this guy?

Think it's Ran Blake (?)

[Niko]

definitely not mariano i'd say, he's a much rounder guy... blake could be (though on other pictures he looks both older and healthier...)

All ready for Summer with a couple of new Tees.

...but what's wrong with this picture??

[Aggie87]

What's wrong with the picture is that your domestic swill is covering up that nice lantern!

And here's a picture of Blake with Eade:

Amazing what you can find within two or three miles (or in one case a few feet) of your home:

One of those deer is not quite like the others.

150 years of coal dust, perhaps.

Love the deer! Rather more impressive than the anaemic ones near me.

[Apologies for buggering-up the quotes above. I'd not set my new album on the host site to public. Edit: The quotes pix have now returned.]

Experimental breed. Aiming to minimise wastage so you don't get bits people don't want to eat.

Impressive tree spotting skills, Serioza. It is a cherry tree (not sure if it is wild or otherwise). Cherries are just ripening now...but the birds will get them befoe I do!

The branch on the left is a plum tree.

Both are bearing fruit this year. Neither did last year.

Wild cherry tree has small fruits . Make your garden attractive for the local band of cats to keep birds away. Some trees bearing fruits once in two years , it depends on spieces. I learned gardening from granny

Inspired by an album Lon was listening to, I thought I'd share a couple of pictures from Brazil that I took in 1991.

Ipanema Beach, sunset:

Cristo Redentor, atop Corcovado:

Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pao de Azucar), seen from Corcovado:

Samba show at Plataforma - I wasn't there during Carnival, unfortunately, so this was the next best thing:

I flew in this helicopter and we landed in a clearing in the Amazon forest, near Manaus:

I haven't pulled my old albums out in a long time, and noticed the colors aren't what they once were. I don't know that I even have the negatives anymore either, unfortunately.

....bringing DeAnna Pappas ('The Bachelorette') back from a USO show at a Special Ops base on the Peruvian/Columbian border?

[Aggie87]

I don't know about her, but I wouldn't mind escorting Melissa Rycroft around! (added bonus - she used to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader)
