Part of my Bible reading plan recently... composed by a weary, battered, imprisoned, ex-persecutor of the church, encouraging those who, like him, have been captured by Christ's love and wisdom, to focus on the 'big picture'.
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen."

Chalk in the Cretaceous of Kansas, USA.
This is Castle Rock, a famous cluster of chalk pillars south of Quinter, Kansas. Chalk is a biogenic, calcitic, marine sedimentary rock composed of numerous coccolith microfossils (see: www.soes.soton.ac.uk/staff/tt/eh/pics/lith2.gif). Coccoliths are individual calcareous plates that covered a single-celled, photosynthesizing marine organism called a coccolithophorid (a.k.a. coccolithophore; "coccolithophorid" is not an adjective, contra Wikipedia) (see: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Emiliania_hux...).

Most chalks are Cretaceous in age ("creta" means "chalk"). The most famous example is the White Cliffs of Dover, along the southern shore of Britain.
Weathered chalks in western Kansas range in color from white to pale yellowish to pale grayish.
Stratigraphy: Smoky Hill Chalk Member (a.k.a. Smoky Hills Member), Niobrara Formation, Upper Cretaceous

I've composed these beauties with round 10mm Fire agate beads, Bali antique silver bead caps and round sterling silver beads wire wrapped and hung from Bali sterling silver dotted french hooks. Ear wire can be changed to lever backs or posts upon request.
Earring length is approximately 1 5/8”.
The Composing Studio - Bach House. Modelled after Bach's Composing Studio in Leipzig. The Bach House is the oldest house still standing in Eisenach. The composer of composers was born in the town (1685), nearby or even in this house (though highly debated, the contrary is not proved), which was founded as a Bach museum in 1907.

Le gypse est une espèce minérale composée de sulfate dihydraté de calcium de formule CaSO4·2H2O. Le mot gypse désigne ainsi à la fois une espèce chimique et une roche.
Le gypse est le minerai qui permet de fabriquer le plâtre.
Le neutre gréco-latin gypsum, emprunté au grec γύψος (gypsos), désigne la pierre à plâtre, le gypse, le plâtre, mais aussi la statue et le portrait en plâtre dès l'époque de Juvénal.
Une fausse étymologie hellénique prétend décomposer le grec gupsos en gê (la terre) et ipson (brûler). Ce serait ainsi la « (pierre, élément terrestre) qui est grillée au feu ». Mais la racine du mot est probablement sémitique car la connaissance du gypse et l'art d'en obtenir des plâtres de diverses qualités est attestée en Égypte antique. Des plâtres mélangés avec du sable fin constituent la base du mortier employé pour la construction des pyramides et des tombeaux.
L'ancien français du début du xiiie siècle connaît les termes gip, gif ou gist qui désignent autant le gypse que le plâtre5. Pour distinguer le gypse ou le plâtre durci de la poudre fine, il est parfois précisé mort et vif. Le latin médiéval a influencé la graphie gips, attestée en 1464 avant la réécriture humaniste qui a donné gypse en français6. L'anglais a gardé l'écriture savante gréco-latine gypsum. En allemand, der Gips ou le dialecte alsacien Gips entretiennent la même confusion que l'ancien français ou l'anglais entre plâtre (forme cuite réhumididiée ou non) et le minéral ou la roche initiale.
L'hémihydrate, le dihydrate, l'anhydrite sont des espèces chimiques du sulfate de calcium qui ont été dénommées par des chimistes français œuvrant à la compréhension chimique du plâtre de Paris à la fin du xviiie siècle. (Wikipedia)

Green Beret Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler composed the #1 song in 1966, "The Ballad of the Green Berets." John Wayne used it as a theme song in his 1968 "The Green Berets."
"Out here, due process is a bullet."...John Wayne as Colonel Mike Kirby, "The Green Berets"
This portrait of Sadler was used, as a drawing, on the cover of his novel "Casca;" and altered with different costumes in subsequent sequels in the series.
"The Ballad" sold 12 million copies, a million in Japan alone and "went into nine versions in Germany," even though it was banned in East Germany where the government labeled the Green Berets "perverts," liking them to the Nazi SS. The first royalty check was for a quarter of a million dollars. That day Sadler, dumped on the living room floor in front of his wife Levona, $50,000 in cash. He had never earned more than $5,000 a year.
"I like creating, but I don't like going on tour - I don't want to be an entertainer. I don't think I like the traveling that much. Seems like for about 15 years, my bedroom was over a juke box. My folks were professional gamblers and we traveled a lot, wherever there was a game. Once, I went to nine schools in one year."
The Army sent Sadler on tour to promote their enlistment programs. He made more than 800 public appearances in a year and a half. Then he was released from service even though Sadler wanted to re-enlist.

"And I'd been wounded anyway. They took a chunk of beef out of my leg. I was on a patrol and stepped on a damn punji stick. Some Viet Cong had spent a few minutes sharpening a piece of bamboo and dumped it in a dung heap and there I was - infected and out of action. Can you imagine $50,000 of trained soldier sent home because of a lousy two-cent bamboo stick and manure? It was a hell of a war."...Barry Sadler (1940-1989)

Now, I think I should have either composed up or down a bit more.
Strobist: 580EXII triggered by RF-602 thru white umbrella high camera left on lightstand.
I composed this shot using nearby props. The black sand beach in in Hana was the location. I used my wide angle again. I must have looked like a fool taking this on my chest dodging sets as they rolled in. I used my Nikon N2000 and a 50mm lens for the shallow depth of field. Fuji Velvia rounded out the package and I really like this one.

Lines, lines everywhere. On a side note, Syracuse is deserted. I have only gone on Saturdays and then only to the business district or downtown area, or whatever it's called. Each time I think that there is something seriously wrong because there are just no people. Anywhere. At all. It is kind of what I think an epidemic would look like...
