We consider the "Friday the 13th" combination to be unlucky. It is the day when motorcycles converge on Port Dover and the date of Goderich's Harry Potter Festival. There isn't any online coverage of these events, or of Friday the 13th happenings.
What is readily available is the news in far away countries and I was attracted to zeenew.india.comwith headlines that included:
Indian Railways to introduce airline-like food, passengers may have to pay more
"In a bid to improve the quality of food served in trains, Indian Railways has decided to change its menu and is planning to copy the menu card of airlines. Read more
Passengers should be served vegetarian biryani, rajma chawal, hakka noodles, pulav, and laddo, the committee suggested."
Of course, here in Canada (and North America), airline food would be improved by copying railway food.
Today's picture shows another experiment with the Fusion lily and liquid line textures.
How does a plant get its common name? Calla Lily has a few common names. They include Pig Lily, White Arum, Trumpet Lily, Florist's Calla, Garden Calla and Arum Lily. One site tells me that the word Calla comes from the Greek term for beautiful. The Merriam Webster dictionary site says that the origin of Calla Lily is new latin, genus name, modification of Greek kallaia rooster's wattles.
Two well-known artists made Calla Lilies a frequent subject of their work: Georgia O'Keeffe painted Calla Lilies many times with swirling, flowing lines. Robert Maplethorpe photographed them in black and white with light shining through the flowers.
