I know....I missed 12/365...not much going on that day and I was feeling lazy. BUT! after a week without rain, I couldn't miss getting a shot of the huge storm clouds that rolled in.It made two of my lily plants so happy that they bloomed in the night. (So prepare yourself for the lily pictures later today)

Sarah,

142 and a wake up to go. That's all that's left for me and Gloria. That's the nickname I gave my machine gun by the way. It's saved my life more times than I could count you know? I think we should name our daughter that when she's born. The first Gloria saved my life with lead, and she'll save me with love. Big Red got zapped the other day. Second platoon got ambushed by the old riverbed I told you about and we went to bail them out. He ran straight into a tripwire, Ernie took some shrapnel from it too but he'll be fine. We have a lot of time between patrols these days, but God damn I can't wait to be out of this heat. I think we should move to Canada when I'm finally out. Two tours in this heat and 110 percent humidity is more than enough for a lifetime. I hear they have excellent healthcare up there. I don't want our daughter to have to live in a country always at war. Where her husband or son could die for a cause nobody believes in. I can't wait for your next letter, I hope everything is well!

 

Love,

James

Hope everyone is doing well.

The black and white steeple of the Eglise Saint Etienne of Ars en Re seen from across the salt pans. This 15th century church still fulfills its other purpose as a landmark for sailors as its distinctive steeple can be seen from many miles away. It also serves as a focus for landscape photographers !😀

Forgot to check the shutting setting when I took this shot and afterwards realised it was only 1/15 sec :(

MC Rokkor 50mm f/1.7

Karlsaue Park, Kassel, Germany

An excellent find - a lonely bright pink clover in a field of green!

This is an 1891 Morgan Silver Dollar - note that is bears 13 stars for the 13 original colonies. In 1891 Wyoming was added as the 44th US state.

Interestingly, note that they are 6 pointed stars, unlike the 5 pointed stars on the US flag. The five-pointed star which, in the traditional language of heraldry, is known as a mullet. Strictly speaking, in heraldry only the six-pointed depiction may be called a star, yet both variants have been used interchangeably on United States coinage. In American numismatics the mullet is sometimes referred to as an American star, while the six-pointed version is described as an English star.
