Nosey the Elephant Fri.06.23.17


Nosey the Elephant

Friday, June 23, 2017

North Webster, Indiana

72nd Mermaid Festival

We met, fed, and rode Nosey the Elephant.  Nosey is a 33 year old
healthy, and well cared for female African elephant.
Mr. Liebel purchased her when she was 3.  Mr. and Mrs. Liebel
graciously gave us their time explaining their issues with
protesters and of their love for Nosey.  We asked
if there was anything we could do for them...run errands
clean up...anything that they didn't have time to do for themselves.
Mr. Liebel said that they were fine.  One of the protesters
had a lime green sign with the message..."...elephants are
pack animals..."...well...elephants are NOT pack animals Dear.  
Wolves are pack animals.  Elephants travel in herds.  
Get your facts straight.  One of the protesters mentioned
Nosey having arthritis and that she herself had arthritis.  I looked at 
her and said to her "ok...and you're ugly too".  Long pause from her.
We wished the Liebel's well and hurried home.  Laundry to do.

Three Rivers Festival CHALKWALK - Sun.07.15.2018

Three Rivers Festival 2018 CHALKWALK Sponsored by the FWMoA Fort Wayne, Indiana Sunday, July 15, 2018 I usually don't give much commentary but this year is different. Allen Etter is physically not among us.  His spirit was felt. I had Allen as an instructor while I was attending IPFW pursuing my BFA in Photography...that is another story.  His incite, instruction and encouragement will long be remembered and I frequently pass along what I experienced to others while I was a student under his guidance.   The WALK this year was different for me.  I tried focusing on artists that were still in the finishing stages of their pieces.  Overall I was thoroughly impressed with the size of some of the works and the diversity of talent. I could not begin to imagine the prep work involved in some of these creations.  Many of artists that I spoke with were graduates of the SFU or IPFW...For me this is my major TRF event.  I look forward to t
