An elegantly clad young woman peers over at some edible delights at a nearby stall in Kyoto's Nishiki Market.

As hard as it is for us to believe there was a time before we got together. Here are some photos of a younger Mary in those days.

… the secret silence

Our latest adventure was incredibly still . We decided to venture somewhere new , somewhere scenic . Winter is creeping in slowly and grabbing the freezing cold paddle was unbearable at first but soon become tolerable .

 

We drifted slowly to un uncredible forest surrounding and being there was simply magical . We soon learned fishing was going to be a massive challenge although watching fish rise to the surface kept our hearts beating .

 

I landed a small jack pike after many cast , fishing deep and twitching the cannibal shad . Then Glen hooked one of those perch , a welcome catch to say the least .

 

We eventually ventured out on the main loch , with not a breath of wind in sight . Glen’s fish finder was showing millions of fish right down in the abyss but we could only dream of catching one .

 

We pursued our journey close to the bankside and I managed another bite . This time another small pike , twice as big as the first one but still a pike . Togg headed home earlyish and we kept on thrashing the still water .

 

In this trip we certainly learned how to keep calm . Perfectly still and breathtaking sceneries . Where’s next ?

Simplicity doesn't mean no wonderfulness. Nature is an example of how much a creature doing nothing but looking at the sea could be wonderful at same time.

Carte de visite by Washington L. Germon of Philadelphia, Pa. The Union infantryman who stands here adopts a pose fairly common to Civil War portraiture. The backdrop, by contrast features an item not typically seen—a statue of a woman who strikes a thoughtful pose with a finger placed on her chin. Around her left wrist is a flowered wreath. Is she contemplating victory, peace, war, love—or something else?

 

The soldier’s cap offer clues to his identity. On the flat top is a trefoil symbol that indicates his regiment belonged to the Union army’s II Corps. In the middle of the infantry horn is his regimental number, 71. Both the 71st Pennsylvania and the 71st New York infantries fought in this corps.

Apparently there are 199 steps up to Whitby abbey, I started counting, then got bored and took them 2 at a time.

Recently visited the new SFMOMA. A wonderful do over. An architectural masterpiece, both inside and out. This was noticed in the heralded contemporary art exhibit. I'm not sure I get most contemporary art either, though at least they seemed to be trying.

One place you might hope to find solitude and the mental room for contemplation is at a museum or art gallery.....places that seem to demand a different kind of behavior than in a restaurant or a mall or other bustling public space. These two women sit quietly, speechless, as they think about a painting at The Legion of Honor Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco.

 

The painting by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens is titled "The Massacre of the Innocents". Painted in 1611, this grotesque scene depicts the episode of the biblical Massacre of the Innocents of Bethlehem, as related in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-18).

I could still catch that outbound train...

Brunei is a hybrid orangutan. Bornean and Sumatran. He is a bachelor and loves his bag of treats that he takes out on exhibit with him in the afternoons. He is one very laid back big dude. He was born at the zoo on March 29, 1991.

... a trip to Snowdonia. It's been two years since I was up there and maybe Halloween 2010 might be as magical as it was in 2008.
