This is our favorite time of the year ! The geese were having goslings, and babies were everywhere. We headed over to one of our local parks, took our time, laid on the ground and got up and personal with this White Goose Gosling. It’s always fun to see new life and energy enter our area in the Spring.

Biarritz, Aquitaine, France.

Biarritz es una ciudad y comuna del suroeste de Francia, situada en el departamento de Pirineos Atlánticos, en la región de Nueva Aquitania. Es una de las principales localidades de la provincia histórica del País Vasco francés de Labort y forma parte de la comunidad de aglomeración del País Vasco.

Limita al oeste con el mar Cantábrico, al norte y al este con Anglet, al sur con Arcangues, Arbonne y Bidart, cerca de Bayona y a 20 km de la frontera con España. A una distancia de 40 km se halla la ciudad española de San Sebastián, desarrollada como ciudad balneario por la realeza española siguiendo el modelo de Biarritz. Sus playas hacen de la ciudad un centro turístico. El surf encuentra en Biarritz uno de los puntos más importantes para su práctica. Fue en su origen un pueblo ballenero.

Ciudad balnearia muy conocida desde el siglo XIX. Estaba constituida por un pueblo de pescadores de ballenas cuando Victor Hugo “la descubrió” en 1843. Él ya mencionaba el riesgo que tenía de pasar a ser una ciudad balnearia. Se constituyó como puerto pesquero de ballenas a partir del siglo XI. Estaba formado por dos asentamientos: el barrio de la iglesia de San Martín y el puerto pesquero (Port-Vieux) defendido por el castillo de Belay o Ferragus. El nombre original de la ciudad (en la Edad Media) era Beariz. Su blasón muestra una gran barca ballenera, que sigue siendo el símbolo de la ciudad. La población es de origen vasco, con la introducción de elementos gascones a partir del siglo XIV. Biarritz formó parte de Labort hasta 1790. El primer faro se construyó en 1650.

En el siglo XIX los médicos recomendaban los baños de mar en Biarritz por sus propiedades terapéuticas. En 1854, la emperatriz Eugenia, esposa de Napoleón III, se hizo construir un palacio en la playa hoy día conocido como Hôtel du Palais. El casino de Biarritz fue inaugurado el 10 de agosto de 1901. La familia real británica pasó temporadas en Biarritz.

Biarritz is a city and commune in southwestern France, located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, in the New Aquitaine region. It is one of the main towns of the historical province of the French Basque Country of Labort and is part of the agglomeration community of the Basque Country.

It is bordered to the west by the Cantabrian Sea, to the north and east by Anglet, to the south by Arcangues, Arbonne and Bidart, near Bayonne and 20 km from the border with Spain. At a distance of 40 km is the Spanish city of San Sebastian, developed as a spa town by Spanish royalty on the model of Biarritz. Its beaches make the city a tourist center. Surfing finds in Biarritz one of the most important points for its practice. It was originally a whaling town.

Well-known spa town since the 19th century. It was made up of a whale-fishing town when Victor Hugo "discovered" it in 1843. He already mentioned the risk of becoming a spa town. It was established as a whale fishing port from the 11th century. It consisted of two settlements: the neighborhood of the church of Saint Martin and the fishing port (Port-Vieux) defended by the castle of Belay or Ferragus. The original name of the city (in the Middle Ages) was Beariz. Its coat of arms shows a large whaling boat, which is still the symbol of the city. The population is of Basque origin, with the introduction of Gascon elements from the 14th century. Biarritz was part of Labort until 1790. The first lighthouse was built in 1650.

In the 19th century, doctors recommended sea bathing in Biarritz for its therapeutic properties. In 1854, Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, had a palace built on the beach today known as the Hôtel du Palais. The Biarritz casino was inaugurated on August 10, 1901. The British royal family spent time in Biarritz.

Nice autofocus point and shoot film camera from 1988 with 35mm and a 70mm lenses. As it was made in Japan, I've been trying to figure out who the OEM was. My best guess is Ricoh as this seems to be a lower spec version of the Ricoh TF500 / TF900.

Subject: Great Jazz Musicians

Nicki Parrott is an Australian jazz vocalist and bassist originally from Newcastle, in the state of New South Wales, and now based in the United States.

Music does something to the molecules. I think that music is one of the only things that really collectively can change the molecules in all of us and gosh what an immense blessing to be able to have that impact on people. (reference to the healing power of music)

---- Sheryl Crow, musician

Music magically makes a difference in everyone's life. It is the fire that drives on and gets us through our rougher, harder times.

---- John Carter Cash, music producer
