All Falcon Photos By H. Walker
The Falcon......

and the sporting life.......

“It is only after a fair portion of one's life that one really knows what are the things that matter, the things that will remain until the end.”
.
Lovely.........Yes, occasionally you would enjoy it......bear with me.........
.
“Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life”
-Jean de la Fontaine
.
Evenings..... and as always trophies - we have them everywhere - we grew up with them so they have became a part of our lives ....you find them in trophy rooms, hallways, libraries, in the study, just everywhere - that is right - I have always packed and moved a few with me from continent to continent...often they want to stay somewhere...with someone...a boar head, a falcon .......some has been given away as presents and have found great homes.....(of course they all have names...)
. “It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.”

...do not run..........simplicity is important in life......look to the Asian cultures .

“In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.”
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
.

I live a simple life - although not in a bamboo....house.... at this time..

“Simplicity is indeed often the sign of truth and a criterion of beauty.”

Bamboo simple and elegant.....

build a watch tower in bamboo????
.
..the simple life - dried tobacco leaves can be hand applied to wood panels or direct on to your walls for an amazing leather like effect (the texture - fantastic) or apply them to a table or dresser..... and you find an extreme stunning character added to your "home"....
.

Sorry, a rhino foot - barefoot???...not back on the beach yet....

  2. Laura,

    Thanks for the kind comment. In the U.S. production of burley tobacco is in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Missouri. A few other places - Honduras and Dominican Republic.
