Yeah I won't sing the whole song, however its a bloody ear worm whenever I'm there. As it does have some resounding impact and relevance. However...not going to Toto this along.
Here's a lovely male ele hanging around on the Mara munching on grass and trees. Obviously a storm is happening but it makes for a heck of a background.

After a whole lot of missed focus shots, practicing the manual focus, realizing that i really love prime lens, coming back from hunting for vintage lenses through the internet flea markets and got myself a few awesome ones, i finally think i'm ready now :D
We went to the Lock and Dam at Starved Rock State Park in Utica Illinois. Its where all the eagle go when the river starts to freeze over. We saw about 25 or 30 eagles today. The guy at the Lock and Dam Visitor Center said they had upwards of 60 Bald Eagle out there yesterday.
GOD BLESS YOU!!

Bless this house and all who may enter here..
"Touch the lintel and touch the wall
Nothing but blessings here befall
Bless the candle that stands by itself
Bless the book on the mantle shelf
Bless the pillow for the tired head
Bless the hearth and the light shed
Friends who tarry here, let them know
A three fold blessing before they go
Sleep for weariness - peace for sorrow
Faith in yesterday and tomorrow
Friends who go from here, let them bear
The blessing of hope, wherever they fare
Lintel and windows, sill and wall
Nothing but good, this place befall"
So mote it be ♥

Hoping each child will be blessed this Christmas, with safety and happiness. I know in my heart that will not happen, but maybe the more we hope and pray..and help..the numbers will increase. It seems like there is always more we can do for the impovershed of this world, and even this country. There is so much I could do, but I don't always do it. Perhaps someone should pray for our souls, rather than theirs.
This is a painting I did years ago and scanned onto my computer.
God bless Texas. And for once, and I never thought I'd say this, God bless Governor Rick Perry.
From governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/12227/
----------------------------------------
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.
HCR 50 is authored by Representatives Brandon Creighton, Leo Berman, Bryan Hughes, Dan Gattis and Ryan Guillen.

She was painted for a client that knew her color scheme should be gold and purple. She was a pleasure to have.
God Bless America
God, bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her,
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
God, bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America
My house sweet house
God bless America....
My home sweet home!
America, America, America, America
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 12/3/20
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - magnificent majestic sails]
*[The America 2.0 is the tallest sail-ship in the Key West Fleet]
**[God Bless America and our New President that will
be inaugurated later today on our U.S.A. Capitol Steps]
History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.

My Key West 2020 Slideshow : flic.kr/s/aHsmTvNLb4
i wanted to flesh out some ideas i've been having about snow and flash and light and depth and so forth. grabbed my roommate from some reading and shot for 6 or 7 minutes. (^hence the title^).
i really liked the way the flashed worked between the buildings though i want more control, and i liked the snow though i want more of it and for ambient to be a touch darker. in other words i want to reshoot something like this, no offence to joe.
though plans have to change since mother fucking spring is around in a big way. the snow probably won't be around much. certainly not those fatty flakes that i love so.
but i will just skate and wait and flesh things out more. plenty more ideas to pursue. and everything says that summer is great.

The thursday before father's day we had a really bad storm come through my part of texas. We has had straight line winds from 91 to 115 miles per hour. They were as strong as category 2 hurricane. After the storm over 250,000 people where out of power, some still don't have power. I thank all the people that have helped with restoring services, opening up cooling shelters, making sure everyone that needed it had access to food, water and a place to get out of the heat. Last friday started a heat wave that saw the heat index reach over 115 degrees. Line workers from all over the country have come down to Texas to help us recover and get back on our feet. We thank you all so much for what you have done!
Alabama - Forty Hour Week (For A Livin')

"Forty Hour Week (For A Livin')"
There are people in this country
Who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor
Are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized.
Hello Detroit auto workers,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line.
This is for the one who swings the hammer,
Driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter,
Ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires,
The one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
You can see them every morning
In the factories and the fields
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
They keep this country turning around.
Hello Kansas wheat field farmer,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line
Hello West Virginia coal miner,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line.
This is for the one who drives the big rig,
Up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse,
Bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic,
The policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine
Hello America, let me thank you for your time...
The forest meets the sea brings a beautiful balance in my love of nature, peace and serenity.

This emphasis is really out of place in this set, and most likly won't make the final cut. Still, I'm kind of endeared by it.
