Our FIND OF THE DAY on this outing was the whimsical looking tiny (approximately 1.5cm) Saddleback Moth Caterpillar. My wife caught a glimpse of its spiny growth protruding ever so slightly from under a leaf, thus, drawing her curiosity. Upon turning the leaf, we were greeted with this amusing sight—like an insect clown with bold colors and off funny attire. We took turns holding and photographing this cute bugger, but something told my wife that we should not touch these spines, in spite of the small stature of the critter. Although tempted to allow it to walk on my hand, instinct prevailed, for she is usually right. Well, when researching the nature of this little creature in our resource books, it turned out that her suggestion was spot on . . . Had either one of us made contact, especially on the soft appearing back saddle like portion, the front and back ends would have instnantly folded over with the stingers in full force. The end result would have been an experience as the victim of the caterpillar with the nastiest sting of all caterpillars in North America. IMAGINE THAT!!! A cute, whimsical looking critter being able to administer such horrific pain . . .
The late, Doris Duke, had left a wonderful legacy in converting her magnificent estate into a Natural Wildlife Preserve for the public’s education and enjoyment. The paths throughout the estate offer such splendid scenery. One is forever exploring, always seeing something subtly beautiful. There are always pleasant surprises, from the general scenery to the world of birds and other wildlife, including tiny insects and flowers that are quite enjoyable to observe and study. The bucolic nature of the preserve is so relaxing—akin to meditating while experiencing the landscape. The beauty of visiting Duke Farms is that so many incredible views are there simply by absorbing the surroundings. Besides the wonderful diversity of nature’s jewels, Doris Duke has left a part of her legacy through her passion for art—well situated throughout the preserve is a collection of glorious sculptures and fabulous examples of supreme stonework and design in the bridges, old ruins of enormous barns and stables, and a variety of other structures. The old Hay Barn ruin with its fabulous sculpture garden is truly a favorite of ours, for each and every statue seems to possess a spirit and sense of life. The landscape and backdrop can alter the mood, accordingly, depending on the time of day and seasonal changes in particular. So, spotting new and fascinating wildlife (both animals and plants) and art never ceases to add to the experience.

Yarrabah, Queensland, Australia.
Yarrabah is an independent Aboriginal community situated approximately 53 kilometres (33 mi) by road from Cairns CBD on Cape Grafton. It is much closer by direct-line distance but is separated from Cairns by the Murray Prior Range and an inlet of the Coral Sea. At the 2006 census, Yarrabah had a population of 2,371. The Yarrabah area was originally inhabited by the Gungganydji people.
History:
An Anglican Church missionary, Ernest Gribble, began to regularly visit an Aboriginal group who inhabited the Yarrabah area living a very traditional lifestyle. These visits by Gribble were to encourage the tribe to move to a mission settlement he was in the process of setting up. With the help of the tribes’ leader, Menmuny, the tribe moved to the mission now known as Yarrabah Community. The mission was settled in 1893. Over time, many people (including some South Sea Islanders) were relocated from homelands in the surrounding area to Yarrabah.
In 1957, the Yarrabah residents staged a strike to protest poor working conditions, inadequate food, health problems and harsh administration. The church expelled the ringleaders and many others left voluntarily, never to return. A few years later, the Government of Queensland assumed control of the mission.
In 1965, an advisory council was set up which allowed Aboriginals to give "advice" to the Department of Aborigines, but it had no actual power and the government continued to control all aspects of the people's lives. In 1979, several community members joined a union but were stood down.
Eventually, on 27 October 1986, the community received Deed of Grant in Trust land tenure, making it subject to the Community Services (Aborigines) Act 1984, which allowed for self-governing Aboriginal Community Councils with a range of powers and controls over the land. With the passage of reforms in 2005, the Council became an "Aboriginal Shire" and gained the authority of a legal local government.

Approximately 150 people attended the first Team APG Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) Expo held on the Army Research Laboratory Conference Center at APG North (Aberdeen), Sept. 23.
Hosted by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, the expo featured six interactive exhibits designed to raise awareness about sexual harassment and assault.
The event opened with welcoming remarks from RDECOM Chief of Staff Col. Christopher Lackovic who said eradicating sexual harassment and assault is a top priority for the Army. Senior Army leadership, he said, aims to engineer climate change through prevention, intervention and awareness.
“Our people are the strength of the nation and what they do,” he said. “Anything that interferes with getting the job done and meeting the mission is a detractor and we need to stop that.” Lackovic challenged attendees to share what they learn at the expo with their friends, family and colleagues. “You can be a part of the force that prevents sexual harassment and assault just by having a dialogue,” he said. “It’s important.” Lackovic added that it is important to intervene when necessary. “We will help change the overall climate of our commands, of our community and of the world around us,” he said. “We have the ability to do that.”

At least a month ago, I noticed that the abandoned Captain D's on DeRenne Ave. near Abercorn Street had been demolished. Eventually, I also noticed that the ACE Cash Express office and the Krystal restaurant near the DeRenne Ave./Abercorn Street intersection had also been demolished. Earlier this month, while I was driving down DeRenne Ave., I noticed a couple of signs at the vacant lot where the Captain D's used to be. Ironically, this area is located just under a mile west of an existing CVS Pharmacy location on DeRenne Ave. near Waters Ave.
A scanned pic of me. I have so many photos that were before my digital days. So much to scan, so little time.

APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 2012-2015
HEAD MOLD: "Classic"
IMPORTANT NOTES: The "Beforever" Caroline dolls had brown eyebrows instead of blonde. My doll has lighter eyebrows, which dates her to have been originally purchased prior to August 2014.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: When I first delved back into the world of American Girl in 2012, I constantly heard about how special Caroline's eyes were. But being that I had not fully immersed myself back into AG collecting at the time, I really had no intentions of paying any mind to characters that were introduced to the line when I was an adult. But I just couldn't avoid seeing videos and pictures of Caroline online or in the AG catalogues. Eventually, when I finally took the time to have a good look at Caroline Abbott, I realized what made her so very special. Her vibrant aqua eyes are some of the most stunning, unique ones I've ever seen on an American Girl doll. What makes this doll even more striking is her platinum blonde hair, which her aqua eyes pop out against. Caroline's eye color is truly fascinating--it is somewhere between a blue and a green! My doll has a somewhat softer facial expression she she has blonde eyebrows. The "Beforever" Caroline dolls were modified slightly--instead of blonde brows, they were painted with brown ones. I think both types of eyebrows are very stunning in their own way, and honestly the difference between the two types is almost negligible. I do like how natural my Caroline doll looks, since her eyebrows are blonde, just like her hair.
