Yashka, you can not gnaw my mother's glasses! And in general, dogs can not be on the table, tables only for cats!
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments. It's greatly appreciated!
The Rousseau Island is an artificially created, small round island in a water course of the Großer Tiergarten in Berlin. It bears its name in honour of the French-Swiss philosopher, writer and educator Jean-Jacques Rousseau, to whom a listed column erected on the island is also dedicated.
My friend Richard Hill posted a recent picture of Catawba Falls. Located near Old Fort, before climbing the high escarpment on I-40, the area is considered the 'Gateway to Pisgah National Forest’, and Catawba proves that magnificently. He stated the trail now had 580 stairs. The last time I had been was 9 years ago. I recall the hike to the falls was a little over a mile, though it was a hike I wouldn’t recommend for most people. There was a place where it was necessary to pull yourself up by a rope and from there, the trail followed a high ridge all the way to the falls. To me, it was just another mountain trail with the necessity to be careful as are so many in the Appalachians. Turns out this was the most likely trail for injury and death in the area. Adrienne Jones, deputy director of McDowell County EMS, told the Citizen Times May 29 during a sneak peek hike of the new trail ahead of opening day, “The fatalities that we have had are all a result of having to go up the falls on ropes and falling off at the falls.”
580 stairs? Yep, with landings and following around the height of the river drop up to a safer trail to the falls. With another friend from Pennsylvania in tow, I decided to check out the new trail… we weren’t alone. With a different approach to the falls — better access — there are an estimated 10,000 visitors here a week… and some act like they’ve never been out of the house before, apparently unskilled as to the dangers of this place. Or anyplace for that matter. Elisha Mitchell (August 19, 1793 – June 27, 1857) was an American educator (University of North Carolina), geologist and Presbyterian minister. While in an attempt to determine the elevation of a mountain called Attakulla (Cherokee word meaning ‘leaning wood’), Mitchell fell off a high waterfall on the mountain and died on the rocks below. He was correct about that mountain, as it is the highest in North America east of the Mississippi River, at 6,684 feet (2,037 m) above sea level. Mount Mitchell and the waterfall he fell from are both named after him.
I’d just as soon not have a waterfall named after me. Nitwits climbing on the slick rocks here obviously don’t agree. Walking off with such a beautiful picture of verdant Catawba Falls — sans “nitwits” — suits me just fine, thank you.
While the trail is still not 'easy', with steep ascents and descents over its 3.5 miles, it is marked with GPS waypoints so EMS can easily find anyone in any sort of distress... good to know.
An educator's face that shows the passage of time and a life dedicated to educating and helping others.

Note the turquoise color in the clouds...This is a good indicator of hail.

Cookies for me from my work😊
We've already eaten some so I added the little crafty flowers to the "flower pot" cookie.
Leoba Puthenthope. Not a visitor but I'm a true New Yorker. Life in this great city is a challenge even for one day but I have lived in New York City for over two decades and about another decade in Toronto which taught me so many things about life. Expenditure for one month in New York City is more than good enough for world travel for one month. If someone comes to a lower level, do not think that you reach immediately to his/her level.
You do not know, what you do not know but never think what you know is all the truth. In reality, most of them are deception. I can easily find my enemy and love him dearly but the one who stays close to you like a close friend might be very deceptive. Being an educator with the New York City Department of Education and a Ph.D. research scholar in corporate finance specializing in corporate valuation and stock price analysis, yeap, I had seen them all.
At last, this city made me simple at heart and made me love everyone irrespective of their economic and intellectual status. My God chose me, redeemed and sealed me. How much is enough to praise Him for all His blessings and grace upon me and my family? Now I know why the Pacific Ocean is Pacific.

Love and regards to every one of you.

To those who are jealous: "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." Proverbs 14:30 Leoba Puthenthope

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chance Nkosi Gomez known initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ

Commemorated on a new mural in Sarasota’s Rosemary District, Emma E. Booker began teaching at Sarasota County’s first black school in 1918. At a time of racial segregation, the school was starved of resources, with old orange crates being used as desks and relying on hand-me-down books discarded from white schools. Eventually achieving recognition for her pioneering efforts, Emma E. Booker gave her name to a local elementary school - which President George W. Bush was visiting when he was informed of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"Carita educatrice (Charity the Educator) by the sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini (1777-1850).
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
The woman is caring for two children. She encourages the older one to read. Inscribed on his scroll is the moral: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
The woman personifies the virtue of Caritas(Charity) in her role as educator, a typical Italian theme. With this scuplture Bartolini contributed to a topical discussion at the time (18th century) about the importance of education in Tuscany
The zoos I serve have amazing staff. Rebecca is one of them. Here, she was introducing a red-tailed hawk to anyone interested in meeting him.
This here was my first sculpture instructor. I am 90% positive that her medium of choice is painting, though.

About Dr. Takeshi Yamada:
Educator, medical assistant, author and artist Takeshi Yamada was born and raised at a traditional and respectable house of samurai in Osaka, Japan in 1960. He studied art at Nakanoshima College of Art in Osaka, Japan. As an international exchange student of Osaka Art University, he moved to the United States in 1983 and studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA and Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1983-85, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1985.
Yamada obtained his Master of Fine Art Degree in 1987 at the University of Michigan, School of Art in Ann Arbor, MI. Yamada’s “Visual Anthropology Artworks” reflects unique, distinctive and often quickly disappearing culture around him. In 1987, Yamada moved to Chicago, and by 1990, Yamada successfully fused Eastern and Western visual culture and variety of cross-cultural mythology in urban allegories, and he became a major figure of the River North (“SUHU” district) art scene. During that time he also developed a provocative media persona and established his unique style of super-realism paintings furnishing ghostly images of people and optically enhanced pictorial structures. By 1990, his artworks were widely exhibited internationally. In 2000, Yamada moved to New York City.
Today, he is highly media-featured and internationally famed for his “rogue taxidermy” sculptures and large-scale installations, which he calls “specimens” rather than “artworks”. He also calls himself “super artist” and “gate keeper” rather than the “(self-expressing) artist“. His passion for Cabinet of Curiosities started when he was in kindergarten, collecting natural specimens and built his own Wunderkammer (German word to express “Cabinet of Curiosities“). At age eight, he started creating “rogue taxidermy monsters” such as two-headed lizards, by assembling different parts of animal carcasses.
Internationally, Yamada had over 600 major fine art exhibitions including 50 solo exhibitions including Spain, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Columbia, and the United States. Yamada also taught classes and made public speeches at over 40 educational institutions including American Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State Museum, Laurenand Rogers Museum of Art, International Museum of Surgical Science, University of Minnesota, Montana State University, Eastern Oregon University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Mount Vernon Nazarene College, Salem State College, Osaka College of Arts, Chemeketa Community College, Maryland Institute College of Art, etc. Yamada’s artworks are collection of over 30 museums and universities in addition to hundreds of corporate/private art collectors internationally. Yamada and his artworks were featured in over 400 video websites. In addition, rogue taxidermy artworks, sideshow gaffs, cryptozoological artworks, large sideshow banners and showfronts created by Yamada in the last 40 years have been exhibited at over 100 of state fairs and festivals annually nationwide, up to and including the present.
