There's a young lad I know, he's about 24 years old but was born with an awful illness called Maple Syrup Urine Disease, his only cure was a liver transplant.... Just a couple of months ago, he was so ill, he was flown over to a hospital in Liverpool and after a number of weeks, he got a new liver... it's wonderful news that he's now home and doing well, but I couldn't help but think that someone had to die for him to live.
As a Christian, this has a significant meaning to me as my Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ died for me, so that I could have eternal life.... I know many people in today's society don't have time for God or want to think about what happens after death, but I believe God's word is true and one of the most well known and most quoted verses in God's word, tells us that God loved each one of us so much, He was willing to allow His only Son to die in our place.
I pray that all of you will know the peace and love from God that I do :)
Mum and I sat in the car and watched this amazing sunset lower itself down into the ocean until it had completely disappeared. We were down in County Clare over the Easter weekend and had such a lovely time with the whole family :)
I hope you all have a blessed Sunday and I want to thank you all for taking the time to read this and for all the comments and faves :)
Annual Shriners Kids Rodeo Baker City Oregon
Celebrating Easter in Baker City at the 16th annual Shriner's Kids Rodeo. Hosted by the Baker County Shrine Club, this annual kids rodeo has become a community tradition over the last 15 years and every year hundreds of aspiring young cowboys and cowgirls come out for a day of sack races, stick horse racing, cow bale roping and even a little mutton busting. What a fun way to celebrate the Saturday before Easter.
For more information about the Shriners Kids Rodeo and other family friendly events and festivals in Baker County Oregon, visit Baker County Tourism's website at www.travelbakercounty.com

Joker’s Chair was erected in the memory of the writer, actor, satirist and comic Dermot Morgan (1952-1998), who achieved international renown for his role as Father Ted Crill y in the much loved and successful sitcom Father Ted. The inscription which accompanies this piece reads; ....and all the rest is laughter laughter liberating laughter to be remembered.
The artist Catherine Greene was born in Galway and studied at the National College of Art and Design from 1979-85. Her sculpture has a comical spirituality that seems to prevail throughout her work. This nod to humour and the less obvious is particularly appropriate in this piece as it appears to fittingly capture Dermot Morgan’s comical spirit. Greene was approached by Dermot Morgan’s partner to create the memorial which was funded by RTÉ and supported by Dublin City Council. A condition of the commission was that it should be an allegorical piece rather than a representative image. Greene saw Dermot as being like the modern day seer who never feared to tell the truth, cleverly, sear- ingly and with verve. This led her to the idea of the Shakespearean fool, who was always the closest to to the throne and who never feared to tell the truth. She felt it would be important for the public to engage with the artwork so she created a throne and if one looks just underneath the seat, you will see an eye, which for Greene represents the knowing eye. The balls on the top of the seat for her are like the hat of the jester. All these elements create a sense of fun and comedy about the piece. Joker’s Chair fits well within Greene’s work in that during the years preceding this commission she had been making small thrones as she was caught up with the idea of absence within her work.

For the most part Chopper ignored Lady, but every once in awhile he got a wild hair and would play. Saturday the weather was nice and the temperature just right, I suppose that had something to do with the dogs getting along so well that day. Watch the action on youtube.

These special rock formations are situated on the english and welsh border.
There are many old legends associated with these rocks. I can't really repeat any of them at the moment because the spook me out!
It was bloody difficult climbing up to see this after a few beers but it was worth it!
Dan and I are off to Tromso, Norway to visit Lars Ivar this long weekend. We wish you all a wonderful weekend!
I first started using a digital DSLR Easter weekend ten years ago and at about the same time I started using Flickr and after ten years and many, many photographs I am still surprised by the fact that I discover something new almost every day.
Today I thought that it might be a good idea to photograph scenes and events relating to Easter so I visited Merrion Square with the intention of photographing this public art installation because I thought that it depicted the removing of Jesus from the cross. While I was photographing a young girl asked her mother “is that God lying on a table” but I discovered that it is a lot more complicated that that.
This figurative sculpture, The Victims originated as a part of an unexecuted project for a war memorial for Washington, DC. The artist, Andrew O’Connor, conceived the idea of a huge war memorial in about 1918 and worked on the project until at least 1931. However, no such monument was ever commissioned from him. The memorial consisted of three sections. The first of which was a group of three figures; a dead soldier strapped to a bier, mourned by his wife and his mother. The figure of the dead soldier is The Victim, inscribed with the words; ‘Naked you came into the world’, the kneeling figure of The Wife with her hands clasped in prayer is variously called The Virgin or Mother of Sorrows. She is inscribed; ‘As cranes chanting their dolorous notes traverse the sky’ which is taken from a translation of Dante’s Inferno. The standing female figure of The Mother of the Hero leans mournfully on her left elbow. The Victim was presented by the family of the sculptor to the Dublin Municipal Gallery (now Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane) in 1947 while the other two figures were presented to the gallery by the sculptor in 1938. As is often the case with O’Connor’s work he produced other versions of some of these figures. A plaster version of The Victim is in the O’Connor family collection and a version of The Wife is at the Tate Gallery, London. The group would have been assembled with The Victim on a raised plinth, his wife kneeling at his head, his mother standing at his feet. The Victims was installed in 1976 following an exhibition to mark the centenary of the sculptor’s birth at Trinity College Dublin in 1974. It would appear that it was not until 1974 that the three figures were displayed together as originally intended creating this uncompromising figurative representation of the victims of war.
Born in Worchester, Massachusetts, USA in 1874, Andrew O’Connor was the son of an Irish-American sculptor of the same name. Having studied under his father, O’Connor Jr. began working regularly on public monuments and funerary commissions in the United States. In London c.1894-8, he met John Singer Sargent and assisted him on reliefs for his Boston Library decorations. Andrew O’Connor’s style was formulated by the time he first visited Paris in about 1903 and his earliest work is in the Franco-American style which had become popular in America by 1900. Unlike the majority of other American sculptors he remained in France and worked from a Paris studio up to 1914. From 1906 on he exhibited annually at the Salon in Paris and at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin in 1907. He then returned to the USA from 1914 to the mid 1920s and received numerous commissions for funerary and public monuments including the monument to Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois and the Theodore Roosevelt memorial at Glenview, Chicago. O’Connor spent his last years in Europe, first in Paris, then from c. 1932 between Ireland and London. He resided in Dublin for the last seven months of his life and passed away at his home at No.77 Merrion Square.
Terminal 1 Dublin airport is normally a very busy place. Easter Saturday 2020 and COVID-19 restrictions are in place.
The small print ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Social responsibility . Ireland is no different to any major country at the moment. We have been asked as a preventive measure to confine journeys. We are told each and every one of us can assist. Some of the pictures shared in this series were recorded within this confinement zone. Like so many contacts on Flickr i work in transport and am classified as an 'essential' worker. As such I travel to, and through Dublin airport frequently. Any photograph in this series is posted with nothing but the utmost respect to those worldwide whom have lost their lives to this silent killer. Any of us could fall victim to it.
What do you do when Easter Weekend airfare+car rental from Grenada to Trinidad (90 miles) is the same price as Grenada to Los Angeles (3900 miles)?
You go to Los Angeles with American Airlines, and still get there (and back) faster than Trinidad with LIAT.
Annnnnnd... As luck would have it, Avi's godmother lives in San Diego - so we spent Easter Sunday with family.

Why this signifies me:
1) Quite a lot of my friends call me "JoJo".
2) This was at Lake Michigan, which I love! :-)

Capital Dock is one of the largest mixed-use developments ever built in Ireland and it was completed towards the end of 2018 but I was unable to gain access to the completed project until Easter weekend 2019. The compex spans 4.8 acres, providing more than 690,000sq ft of new mixed-use space, including offices, retail and family units, as well as more than 1.5 acres of public park space.
Global investment bank JP Morgan and jobs site Indeed have committed to occupy all of the available office space, and are preparing their new premises for occupancy in 2019.
Nearly 200 family units will be available to rent this year, with a dedicated on-site concierge, resident lounges, cinema, professional gym, business suites and a chef’s kitchen. There is also be a landscaped park and square open to the public.
The project will welcome new retailers in the coming year, including a restaurant and bar with a terrace, a gourmet grocer, and additional food and beverage offerings.
Archrock, Keurboomstrand, South Africa. It's great when you don't even have to touch the photos up - from the camera straight to flickr. Took about 400 pics this past weekend, so will be uploading gradually over the week.

New York City Easter Parade 2018
The NYC Easter Parade is a great opportunity to do portraits of fabulously dressed people in the street.
Earlier today, sporting a handheld 1930's Graflex RB large format camera and a bunch of film holders I enjoyed myself and made some new friends...
Here's some of the results, just out of the darkroom….
Happy Easter to all !!
