I went to do a photo shoot the other day, and my husband, wandered down the road looking for deer. Instead he found this stunning view ~of course I had to get a picture

*Working Towards a Better World

 

Our workforce and our entire economy are strongest when we embrace diversity to its fullest, and that means opening doors of opportunity to everyone and recognizing that the American Dream excludes no one.

Nowadays, the Algarve’s image is associated with citrus fruit orchards, but in dry and sunny land many fig trees, almond trees and carob trees grow and constitute the “dryland orchard”.

 

With large areas of fig trees the Algarve exported dry figs for centuries, with high impact on the regional economy. [...]. According to the Tora the fig is one of the seven foods which grow in the Promised Land. According to the Bible Adam covered himself with the fig leaf.

 

The citrus fruit orchards are widely spread in the Algarve.

The sweet orange was brought in the 16th century from China to Europe by the Portuguese. They are called “portuguesas” in various countries, especially in the Balkans. Google

“Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes the precise moment. We play with things that disappear and that, once disappeared, it is impossible to revive. For us, what disappears, disappears forever: hence our anguish and also the essential originality of our trade. What comes out of that camera is no stranger to the economy of a world of waste, where tensions are increasingly intense and where the ecological consequences are already excessive.” Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

1955 Nash Ambassador Country Club.

 

After Nash rolled out its Airflyte body style, Ambassador sales enjoyed a significant gain by selling just four- and two-door sedans in the 1949-1951 marketplace. They were manufactured at the Nash Factory (Kenosha, WI), and the Nash Factory (El Segundo, CA).

 

Airflyte styling entered its final season with the heavily facelifted 1955 versions, created under the direction of Edmund E. Anderson. "Scenaramic" wrap-around windshields accompanied an entirely new front-end treatment with a new oval grille incorporating the headlights. The front fenders featured raised front wheel arches that showed more of the front wheel and tire than Nash had revealed since the 1949 models debuted.

 

Ambassadors were now available with a V8 engine for the first time. The engine was supplied by Packard as part of George W. Mason's vision to have Packard join AMC to help achieve the economies of scale of the domestic Big Three automakers. The 320 cu in (5.2 L) V8 produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS) and mated to Packard's Ultramatic automatic transmission.

Certain shops in Taunton seem to go through regular changes, others stay unchanged (or empty) for years.

Candid street and reportage photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

Captured these Gold Dust Day Geckos enjoying the nectar on these plants a few years back on the Big Island of Hawaii. Thought it would be nice to contrast them to my large lumpy lizards on the bayou. A bit more color in these little characters when compared to the gators.

 

The window install is not as invasive as I thought it would be and is rolling along smoothly. I’ll get to my comments as time permits.

The Guineafowl is a bird that I often see while travelling through farmland. I have seen them everywhere from Nova Scotia to Southern Ontario. They are quite an interesting farm bird.

The 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) gets underway in Glasgow from 31st October 2021. Described as our last chance to save the world from an irreversible climate catastrophe.

 

With over 30,000 people attending including former US President Obama, an a street march by thousands lead by Greta Thunberg, and many, many demonstrations and strike action in the city - it will be a lively period and with absolute surety, a Covid19 Super-spreader event.

 

I'm absolutely broken that I can't be there with my camera documenting the occasion amongst the everyday people of the city. I'm just weeks away from being due for a booster shot so my immunity is now at it's weakest while cases are soaring.

 

Personally I think we are closer to 'running out of time' than we fear. Several tipping-point events have already occurred in the past couple of years and some feedback loops are starting to get going. It is going to be a rocky road ahead.

 

I cannot see how our whole economy is viable. We are consuming many times more than our earth can provide and corporations and governments are looking for year upon year growth and expansion. We are over-resourcing our finite resource already. Truly drastic change to society, culture, attitude and our way of life is needed and I don't see that it will, or can, happen. Too many attitudes of selfishness and entitlement abound when we can only succeed if we work together to look out for each other.

 

I come back to a statement I have made many times here on Flickr with my photographs.

 

We are one single species on one solitary earthly oasis in the vastness of space.

 

Our earth can thrive without us but we cannot thrive without our earth. It is long overdue that we stopped choking the life out of our home in the universe. Time that we stopped raping our earth of resources. Time that we just stopped, looked and cared for our world... our home... our life.

 

Be safe.

I chose this photo to post to "Your Best Shot 2017" (www.flickr.com/groups/yourbestshot2017/)

 

This image represents an important event in the world in 2017 and also an important event in my life. I started my life as a political-and-social-activist at age 15, so it seemed appropriate to mark my 50+ years as an activist at age 71 by attending the Women's March in DC on Jan 21, 2017.

 

The women, men, and children at the march showed support for many issues, including the environment. This image ended up in Explore, so it was not only my favorite image from the event, but became the fave of many Flickr members, too.

Women's March - Washington DC, 01/21/17

 

This is one of my favorite signs that I saw in DC.

 

I don't allow downloads on my Flickr account, but if you want to use this photo (or others from the Women's March) in protest to the current administration or to use for civil rights (for everyone) issues, or to highlight environmental issues, send me a Flickr msg with your email and the title of my image. I'll send you a jpg file.

 

The woman holding the sign reminds me of one of my best friends in college. She's now, like me, in her 70's, but this reminds me of her during our college days.
