A Catamaran sank close to La Corbiere Lighthouse in Jersey in the Channel Islands,with over 300 people on board and all were saved by heroes from the mainland.This was erected in tribute to the lifesavers.
There are many things to observe and photograph in the south Florida rookeries during the winter. Many of our birds begin their courtship, breeding, and nesting season. It's a thrill to observe. At this time, they are usually sporting their nicest plumage and often are exhibiting quite affectionate behavior.
One of the most thrilling to photograph is the great blue heron. Possessing an impressive wingspan when flying, they make everyone take notice. Such grace and beauty in motion, but it's when they return with the most carefully chosen stick to add to add to the nest that you can truly appreciate them. The male will fly in, land at the nest. offer it to its mate, they jockey it back and forth a bit, carefully place it in the exact spot for which it was intended, then usually celebrate that addition to the nest. Often they will intertwine their necks and look towards one another, almost as if to make a heart shape. I know that sounds weird, but those of you who have witnessed this behavior, know what I'm talking about. Sure they may squabble from time to time, but you know that they're union is strong. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view. Happy hump day as well.

Stealers Wheels, 1972
Sometimes, especially in this tumultuous 20's decade, I've felt like we're living the lyrics of this great old song.
When I log in here and see the world through your eyes: humorous, creative, thoughtful, interesting...I'm back on solid ground again. Thanks (to everyone) for being you.

Second Beach on the coast of Washington and part of the Olympic National Park is the most beautiful beach I've yet visited.This beach has amazing seastacks and tide pools with over 2 miles of beach to walk, camp and simply to think while walking here. It's also had the parking lot and the 1 mile access trail closed by the Quileute Tribe because of a dispute that has not been resolved in over 1.5 years:

I dedicate this photo to the hope that this beach can be opened again soon so that we can all enjoy this view again......

........to my Mother-in-Law. She passed away this day 1 year ago, on the day of her Patron Saint. Her name was Pat.
Ironic?
Sometimes words are just words, actions are more important. Thank you for picking me up whenever I am feeling down.
I totally lost interest in photography six months ago, but now I am eager to dedicate myself to improve once again. The first thing I did was picking up my dust-up extension tube to see if I could produce some magic tricks.
CCC X
Medieval Life
In the far North, a forge can be found. Owned by Balig the Blacksmith whose fame spreads throughout the land. Throughout the harsh bitter cold climate, Balig works hard at his trade and produces only the most finest of weapons, truely dedicated to his work!
I've been building this during Iron Builder and was tempted to use the mystery part so I could have this as a IB entry as well, but I chose not to.
I discovered many new techniques while building this, as it was a headache to get every piece of wood panalling to fit perfectly together. The stone work is also a combination of 3 techniques including literally leaving an open hole and then filling it with different bricks so that they are only connected by the shear force of being wedged in together.
I'm feeling really pumped for CCC this year, so I have decided to once again compete for Master Builder....only if time permits!
In the summer of 1861, enthusiastic volunteers in colorful uniforms gathered to fight the first major land battle of the war. Confident that their foes would turn and run, neither side anticipated the smoke, din and death of battle. Nearly one year later, both sides met again on the same battlefield with the Confederates winning a solid victory bringing them to the height of their power.
This photo is dedicated to Chris Williams who did a wonderful mosiac of my photos, and for Arshad for writing me my very first testimonial!
Thanks so much to you both, im so lucky to have such wonderful friends!
A Japanese chef preparing a platter in front of us. The no nonsense attention to detail is evident. He threw away whole batches of raw material if they are not up to scratch. Doesn't smile much but I admire his dedication.
this one is dedicated to my young old friend Antje, who has birthday today. I hope you like it :=)))
The Mount Royal Hospital underwent a number of changes of mission since it was founded as an Immigrants Aid Society home in 1853. By the time this chapel was dedicated in 1955 (if you enlarge the shot by two clicks you should be able to read these tarnished plaques), the primary mission of the hospital was Acute Geriatric Care. As I said yesterday, this was a place where people came to die.
Somehow that makes this Chapel or Meeting House all the more significant. As a Quaker myself, I am intrigued by the designation, "a Meeting House for Meditation and Worship". Meeting House has been used by Quakers since the 17th century as a place for silent worship and meditation. Traditional Quakers, following George Fox (1624-1691), do not believe in clergy or consecrated buildings or churches. I realise this is different in parts of the USA.
But there's even more intrigue to be found here on these dedication plaques. Ambrose Pratt was a controversial writer in the early part of the 20th century. A journalist who began writing for "The Australian Worker", he became increasingly more conservative as he grew older. This was especially so after the major split in the Labor Party in 1916 (over the issue of conscription). Pratt became a member of "The Group" in 1931, and he wrote the resignation speech of Joseph Lyons from the Labor Party. Lyons from Tasmania went on to become the only Tasmanian Australian Prime Minister (1932-1939) who died in office. His wife Enid Lyons was the first woman elected to the Australian Parliament and the first female member of Federal Cabinet.
After his retirement, Ambrose Pratt became heavily involved in the Melbourne Zoo at Royal Park (and in fact was responsible for setting up the Healesville Research Station which is now the Australian native fauna section of the zoo). And it would seem he was also on the board of the Mount Royal Hospital. Now here's the final piece of the puzzle: I have no evidence that Pratt was a Quaker, but later in life he took a very close interest in Buddhism and particularly the philosophies of India and Tibet. So I imagine the term "Meeting House", was to express this ecumenical interest.

Sir Edward Hallstrom (1886-1970) did the honours of opening the chapel. Like Pratt he was a major participant in the zoos of Sydney and Melbourne, and his links to Mount Royal would seem to be his strong philanthropic interest in medical services. Hallstrom is one of those rare figures with two portraits in the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

Sunday was Isabella's Dedication; where Allen and I (and our family) dedicated her to our Lord and to raise her properly for God. She's 9 month now. Wow..time flies!
After a 6 month search of "the" dress for this day, we found it.
Rebecca doesn't let the cast on her arm stop her from practicing her layout stepouts on balance beam.
Once I realized LEGO had made an arm cast part, I couldn't resist using it on my gymnasts :-)
Through an interpreter I learned that this shopkeeper has worked at the same family business for 40 years, arriving daily at 4:30am to prepare for the day.
Dedicated to all my dear friends who wrote a beautiful, lovely and wonderful testimonial to me.
(LC, Khasan, Kim, Trixie, Jacques, ZJ, Kevin, Edmond and Nisha!)

There are quite a few great photographers here on Flickr. I feel the Northwest has some of the best in the world. Maybe I am biased because I live here but I think others will agree as well. That being said there has been one of my contacts who loves to shoot the coastlines about as much as I do and I have been following his work for the last couple years and am continually inspired and motivated by his images....If you have not had the chance to check out Steph's work I highly suggest you visit his stream and check out the amazing beach shots he posts...
