When I was a little girl and Mum's (& Dad's) cherry tree was smaller, I used to love picking off pieces of bark. I'm sure that's contributed to the large deformity in the trunk!
Mount Vernon, Ohio.
I posted a shot of this last year on Instagram when the building was just a shell: it's so good to see that Kenyon College has preserved the building and the ghost sign so beautifully.

I got home Wednesday and climbed those stairs, not thrilled about having to do it, but of course survived. I am doing well but feel too weak and drugged up to comment tonite, but just wanted you to know I am ok, a lot of it because of your support!
Marrying two venerable systems together, the M-83 utilizes the mobility proffered by the M-82 Hajduk series with the lightweight firepower of the M-122 Bies to create a wheeled self-propelled howitzer capable of keeping pace with all elements of Yugoslavia's motorized infantry divisions. This was done to fit within the "tracks with tracks, wheels with wheels" philosophy that has struck most contemporary militaries across the globe. Thankfully, the JNA's robust martial catalogue ensured that finding a solution to the wheeled artillery conundrum was a cheap venture with little turn-around time. Indeed the Hetman has received quite a bit of praise both within and without Yugoslavia for its effectiveness not only fiscally, but also in combat as well.
During the blitz into Ukraine, the M-83 saw its fair share of action as Romanian, Yugoslavian, and ostensibly Black Cross units pushed towards Kiev. The Hetman was able to set up shop, fire its 122mm gun, and pack up in record time. Indeed the shoot and scoot rate of the M-83 is often overwhelming for under-prepared foes like the Ukrainians. Furthermore, the Hetman was sometimes used in a direct fire support role, i.e. utilizing its cannon to fire straight at hardened targets. This capacity granted Yugoslavia and its allies even greater versatility, though the use of the M-83 in such a role is still prohibited by official doctrine. Of course in wartime, rules get blurred.
Today was such a good day. I felt extremely happy and I was so productive and life is good.
I woke up early, went to the physiotherapist and picked up my new orthopedic insoles. After this I studied for the oral exam I have tomorrow. After this I followed two classes, bought my books for this semester and caught up with friends. I studied some more, took these images in the spring light.
Oh, I haven't have to go tomorrow to the university :D
I'll take the two shots left and I'll made papers, papers and more papers :D
I want to finish all of them!
I know this is weird and funny, but i'm that weird and funny xD
C U!!

The hills are lost in cloud and mist. I understand this view has disappeared due to tree growth.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a dog pic. I’ve kinda missed them. Apologies for the lack of commenting lately also. It’s that time of year where revision begins and sadly school has to take priority at this point.

Stranger #83 – Madi – she was strolling through the centre of Wroclaw, Poland when I spotted her. I asked for a photo and got completely baffled with the answer I got. She totally ignored what I said and - just like that - asked if I had a pen :) Luckily, I had one and without much thought handed it over to her. Madi wrote something hastily on the back of a receipt and then told me I could take the pictures. We moved a few meters towards some better light and I took a few shots. It was a really nice encounter :)
