It's sweltering hot in the garden and the model is a bit pissed off to have to pose.
I prefer her husband's work but the face is poignant.
Congrats Geraint Thomas.

Now in Amazon, what seems to be all volumes of Fortesue's "British Army".
Each volume on Kindle, for $2.99
Some are a bit redundant, as Oman, say, covers the Penninsular war better, and etc. for the popular bits. There are better histories of the campaign of Blenheim.
But for the other stuff, a tremendous resource for world history. All the important but obscure, unknown things, like how the British actually conquered India, or how Louis XIV actually won the War of the Spanish Succession, or how the American colonists were genuine pains in the bottom.

Edouard Manet's sister-in-law. I have heard of her, but I didn't know the family connection- I only looked it up because of Mockturtle's comment.
She looked better than she painted:

Prayers for julian assange tonight, gladness and gratitude for his determination and courage.
So weird, "they" speak of his situation but no mention of his wholesome impacts -- the lowest Hillary Clinton operations on pitiful display. Assange is heroic for those 33000 emails alone.
On my mind because it seems we are going to let this warrior for truth rot in prisons.
Assange war should be NYTimes' @npr's war, our war --- but Noooooo, this is the Clinton battleship operations under threat, Obama's legacy and all that, and so Assange must stay shackled.
I pray Pres. Trump will see the complexities and assist in a reasonable detente w wikileaks.
Ever-renewing Most High Good, guide all of our hearts to wisdom and kindness and mercy, calling out to us ever in Joy. And especially for Julian Assange, Lord, praise be.
Jonathan Gold - ultimate la food critic died.
NY Times did an obit.
He will be missed.

I got to the Art Institute last week and saw "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and the other paintings by Albright. AAAAAGH! Thanks for the tip, Ann!
...and now I feel uncomfortable.
Damn you, Art !!!
The portion of the 412-page document that was not redacted supported the claims of Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as well as those made by the majority of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The senators and the representatives had issued reports alleging that the FBI used an unverified Clinton campaign document to secure a wiretap against an American citizen, that the application for the wiretap used circular reporting and lacked verification for its central claims, Mollie Hemingway
Obama is like Nixon.
@Nancy
You're welcome!
NFL training camps are now open. Players are polishing up their kneeling-for-the-anthem techniques, presenting the President another ready-made campaign issue just in time for the midterms.
Meanwhile, NFL Commissioner Roger The Clueless, is still at the helm.

So is there any meal better than a BLT made with the first ripe tomato plucked from your garden? Had one last night and I am still salivating!
Another Berthe is Bertha Lum, an American woman who introduced Japanese woodcut art to the West very early in the 20C. A relative of mine had some of her work and I always thought it had a nice feel to it. The Wikipedia article "Bertha Lum" shows some of her work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Lum
Per cf: Assange war should be NYTimes' @npr's war, our war --- but Noooooo, this is the Clinton battleship operations under threat, Obama's legacy and all that, and so Assange must stay shackled.
Precisely. He was adored, even worshiped, by the left until he had the temerity to reveal the wrong truths.
