Photo session №2 after the Photo session for the contest "PhotoCity 2013". The theme was BEGINNING, so I was inspired to show a new beginning for a girl, leaving the old teenage style behind to become a young lady. After I got my photos for the contest I made myself some photos to show off my new dress in combination with one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announces that Central Park, the world’s most iconic greenspace, will become entirely car-free during a press conference with other elected officials and advocates on the Central Park Mall on Friday, April 13, 2018. Beginning on June 27, 2018, the last sections of the park’s loop drives that remain open to cars will be permanently closed to them, returning the park to its original use as an urban refuge and recreation space.

Jordan Gibson
Jordan is my new beginning! I recently decided to start over because of a lot of doubt in my mind. I have had my ups and downs already in this new year, but i know now that nothing should stop me. So I decided that Jordan will be the beginning.

Pre-kindergarten teacher Angelika Miles introduces a student to her classmates on the first day of the Army Child, Youth and School Services Strong Beginnings Program Sept. 8. Strong Beginnings is an Army Family Covenant program designed to prepare students for the transition to kindergarten. Skills taught meet Army early learning standards and include basic academic and classroom etiquette skills and focus on the social, emotional and physical development of children. Army CDCs in the States as well as worldwide were losing preschool children to civilian preschool programs or state-run preschool programs, so to counter that trend, the Army came up with Strong Beginnings to help parents prepare their children for school.

Oregon’s Hells Canyon Scenic Byway is a loop that encircles the Wallowa Mountains, beginning and ending at Baker City. Small towns along the way including Richland, and Halfway, offer visitor services and a chance to explore small town Americana While exploring a diverse and scenic landscape including the deepest river gorge in North America, lush valley’s, rolling farmlands, and the spectacular Wallowa Mountains.
The diverse geography is also home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer, bear, eagles, waterfowl, bighorn sheep and the occasional coyote, to name a few, making this scenic drive a must for wildlife enthusiasts.
The entire route is on a paved highway. Plan ahead - you'll find stretches of more than eighty miles without gas and with few services. A segment of the Byway between Joseph and Halfway closes with snow in winter, but allows access to winter recreation areas, offering a whole other kind of Northeast Oregon Adventure.
Hwy 86 between Baker City and the Hells Canyon Dam at the bottom of the canyon is open year round providing visitors access to the deepest river gorge in North America and some of the best winter Steelhead fishing in the North West .

The beginning of a design that seems to have lasted forever, the 356 was first began development shortly after the end of World War II, and finally entered production in 1948. Looking at this car I sometimes wonder if this should have been called the 'Bug', as convertible versions (especially in red) do look very much like Ladybugs. The 356 soldiered on into 1965, when it was eventually replaced by the Porsche 911, a direct update of this design which has been produced ever since.

Here it was, Martin Luther King's Birthday, and I was thinking about how he believed in dreams and new beginnings, when all of a sudden I passed this truck with this sign on it. I just had to take the photo.
Truth is, I DO want to go FARTHER!
I've been through so much in my life....the good and the bad. I've hung onto so much of the bad that was in my life for so many years that I just couldn't see a brighter future. This past 3 years I have done alot of soul searching and still I am a work in progress. I have learned alot about myself and most importantly, I have learned how to forgive myself and others and how to love myself. I now believe that I deserve better and with baby steps I am learning to live as though I never have.
This Photostream is my journey over the past year and all the things I am expericencing. A whole lot of "first" in this album and I am having a ball!
The Pavilion Gardens is an excellent historic venue which superbly shows off the Victorian splendor of Buxton. Situated in the heart of the spa town it is a beautiful example of the heritage that runs throughout the town. With the arrival of the railway in 1863, a boom period was beginning for Buxton and its guest houses and hotels. As a result it was suggested by the Seventh Duke of Devonshire that private citizens should put money into a 'company' to improve amenities in Buxton.
The gardens were designed by Sir Joseph Paxton and his pupil Edward Milner both of whom worked and built many of the greenhouses at Chatsworth House under William Cavendish, the 6th Duke of Devonshire. Sir Joseph Paxton and Edward Milner were both outstanding architects and worked to complete some of the most cherished landmarks we have today. This includes Tatton Park, Crystal Palace and Mentmore Towers.
The Pavilion Gardens was first opened in August 1871 and fortunately, at this time there were many people in the town who were willing to put their own money into paying for improvements. The then Duke responded by giving nine acres of “excellent garden ground” (eventually extended to the present 23 acres by later Ducal gifts), to be held in perpetuity on condition they were used exclusively for the purposes of recreation. The prospectus and Form of Application for shares of the Buxton Improvement Company (December 1869) make the objectives of the company clear: "to add to the attractions and increase the prosperity of Buxton".
The Concert Hall, (now known as the Octagon) designed by Buxton Architect, Robert Rippon Duke, was added later and opened in 1875. The Entertainment Stage, soon to be known as the Pavilion Theatre and later as the Hippodrome (cinema), the Playhouse (from 1935) and the Paxton Suite (from 1979) was added in 1889. Owing to the success of the theatre, the company, known since 1889 as the Buxton Gardens Company, decided that the Pavilion Theatre should be extended which led to the building of the Opera House which was opened at Whitsuntide in 1903. The Opera House itself was designed by the prolific theatre designer Frank Matcham and is one of only 17 out of 150 still standing. He also designed the London Palladium, Blackpool Opera House, Tower Theatre and Tower Ballroom, and the London Coliseum.
In 1927, the Buxton Corporation acquired the buildings, gardens and pleasure grounds and the council have managed the site ever since.
A disastrous fire in 1983 destroyed the former Lounge area and the restoration work was completed two years later.
In recent history the Pavilion Gardens have undertaken an extensive restoration project spanning seven years from the completion of the parklands to their natural Victorian splendor in 2004 right through to the refurbishment of the main inner building and the new ultra modern theatre and studio space (The Pavilion Arts Centre) being re-opened in 2010.
The well-curb created by Bartolomeo Bon between 1427 and 1428 depicts the virtues of Justice Fortitude and Charity. This well-curb had been sold and taken away; but it was purchased by baron Franchetti at the beginning of the XX century and returned to the palazzo.
This looks like Fortitude.
343/365 ~ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ~ Meredith Wilson, 1951
Toys and stockings and wrapping paper ~ our living room is starting to look like Santa Land! It's so much fun having little ones to buy for. I'm a bit disappointed I have to wait an extra week for everyone to open everything. It's a good thing I won't have to wait. I'm not good at waiting. In fact, for years my presents have been left for safe keeping at other people's homes. Just found out the television I got for my birthday was stored at Melanie Matteson's home to keep me from snooping and watching it before it was officially mine. Yes, I'm THAT BAD! When I was growing up, my mother decided to outsmart me by numbering the presents instead of putting tags with mine and my sister's names on them. It didn't work, instead of opening just mine, I opened all of them. The only difference was now I knew all the gifts just not which ones were mine and which ones were Angie's. I think I've told this story before but they bought me an old typewriter and I typed a letter on it while hiding in the closet with it long before Christmas Day. The first year I was married, I made the mistake of telling Billy that a watch would be a stupid gift since I always lose them. Shortly afterwards, I found and unwrapped a beautiful gold Seiko watch that he had bought me. I carefully taped it back up and spent the next three weeks backtracking and repeatedly looking at my arm proclaiming, "Wow, I really do miss having a watch." Or "Geez, what time is it again? I sure could use a new watch." I know, he probably knew what I was doing but I had to make up for sticking my foot in my mouth somehow :) After I met Frank, he made it extremely clear -"if you cheat, if you open it, if you so much as shake it when I'm not around and I found out - I'll take it back and you won't have anything to open!" Well, I hate to admit it but as impatient as I am, I'm even more of a present hog! So I've done my best NOT to peek, not even at the checkbook receipts. It ain't easy but it beats coal in my stocking on Christmas morning!
