Josh is one of the more resilient people I've ever met, and he's only 13. A severe Strep A infection earlier this year nearly killed him and cost this young athlete and honor student both legs beneath his knees and most of his fingers on both hands. He's relearning how to live now, and I've been privileged enough to document his recovery. Oh, and he can still kick my ass at Wii.

in the Sicilian city of Randazzo, is Celebrated in mid-August day, hits principal feast of the "living vara" that evokes the mystery of the faith of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven with soul and body, for this reference She is call Mary Assumption; the feast may be originated around the sixteenth century; the "vara" (Sicilian name Refers to "float"), it's a "votive machine" about 20 meters high, made of a structure in iron and wood, decorated with gilding, mirrors, colored coatings, Whose allegorical meaning Seems To have inspirations from the figures reproduced in a painting by John Caniglia of 1548 (you can admire it inside the Crucifix chapel of the Basilica of St. Mary in Randazzo), machine consisting about several plans and rotating, with hand-operated mechanisms, and making reference to the rotation of the heavens of the medieval conception. The first low part of the "machine-float" is the Tomb of Mary, full of flowers, but as She got to the Sky also with Her Body, it's an empty tomb, a bit higher up we find St. Thomas in prayer, still more on we find St. Michael the Archangel with a sword, surrounded by singing Angels; on the highest level it finally takes place the Virgin Mary. Various "young actors", present on float are children of various age, which intone chants turned to Virgin Mary, each with its own role, each surrounded by a iron structures for own security. Up to 1960 different "human figures" were all male, included Maria Assunta; in ancient times the fast of the children was strictly Observed (even now, more for practical reasons to stay on the float, Which for devotional Reasons); in ancient times the float at the end of the procession was always assaulted from the faithful, taking with them the precious souvenirs of the event, considering That like relics; to the end of the 18th century the traditional feast He had a decline, abolished in 1795, then restored in the Second Half of 1800, again suppressed the first in 1911 for the raging cholera, then to the events linked to the First and Second World War, than the feast started again in 1952, at first once every 5 years, then every three years finally annually since 1973. During the trip the children receive from Inhabitants leaning out of windows and balconies, candies, biscuits, sweets of various genre, so this "rain of sweets" shows a more happy and picturesque manifestation, but so the children "are distracted" being from "hanging" in several meters from the soil (likeably who is finding down, he may be "bombarded" by a shower of candies and chocolates).
PS: This report, which I have Made 15 August 2016 in the town of Randazzo, to whom I gave the name of the movie "for love, only for love", I dedicate it to my friend professional nurse Guido, whose its universal love for people and animals was opposed by those who are unable to understand his greatness, has meant that he decided yesterday to get out of life scenes.
.....................................
nella città siciliana di Randazzo, si celebra nel giorno di Ferragosto 15 agosto, la sua principale festa della "vara vivente" che rievoca il mistero di fede dell'Assunzione di Maria in Cielo sia in anima che in corpo, per questo riferimento viene chiamata Maria Assunta, festa che sembra abbia avuto origine attorno al XVI secolo; la "vara" (nome siciliano riferito al fercolo), è una “macchina votiva” alta circa 20 metri, composta da una struttura in ferro e legno, abbellita da dorature, specchi, rivestimenti colorati, il cui significato allegorico sembra ricalcare i motivi ascensionali riprodotti in un quadro di Giovanni Caniglia del 1548 (dipinto che si può ammirare nella cappella del Crocifisso della basilica di Santa Maria, in Randazzo), macchina costituita da diversi piani sovrapposti ruotanti, con meccanismi azionati a mano, che fanno riferimento alla rotazione dei cieli di concezione medioevale. Alla base della “macchina-vara” c’è il sepolcro di Maria, pieno di fiori ma, poiché Ella è salita in cielo anche col suo corpo, tale sepolcro è vuoto, un po’ più in alto troviamo S.Tommaso in preghiera, ancora più su troviamo S.Michele Arcangelo con in pugno la sua spada, attorniato da Angeli, sul livello più alto infine prende posto la Vergine Maria. Le varie figure, presenti sulla vara sono bimbi di varie età, dai più piccoli ai più grandicelli, che intonano canti rivolti alla Madonna, ognuno col proprio ruolo di figurante, ognuno cinto da una struttura in ferro che lo assicura alla macchina votiva: fino agli anni ’60 i vari personaggi erano tutti di sesso maschile, inclusa Maria Assunta, il digiuno dei bimbi era rigorosamente osservato (anche adesso, più per motivi pratici di permanenza sulla vara, che per motivi devozionali); in passato la vara alla fine della processione veniva presa d’assalto dai fedeli, che letteralmente la spogliavano, portando con se un prezioso ricordo della manifestazione, considerandola al pari di una reliquia; alla fine del 18° secolo la tradizionale festa ebbe un declino, soppressa nel 1795, poi ripristinata nella seconda metà del 1800, nuovamente soppressa prima nel 1911 per l’imperversare del colera, successivamente per le vicende legate alla prima ed alla seconda Guerra Mondiale, la festa riprese vita solamente nel 1952, dapprima una volta ogni 5 anni, poi ogni tre anni, infine annualmente dal 1973. Durante il tragitto i bimbi ricevono dagli abitanti affacciati alle finestre ed ai balconi, caramelle, biscotti, dolciumi di vario genere, che ripongono a mò di bottino dentro delle sacche di tela, delle quali ognuno è fornito, questo da un lato rende ancora più gaia e pittoresca la manifestazione, dall’altro lato i bimbi “vengono distratti” dal trovarsi “appesi” a svariati metri dal suolo (simpaticamente chi si trova sotto, può venire “bombardato” da una pioggia di caramelle e cioccolatini).
P.S. questo report, che ho Realizzato il 15 Agosto 2016 nel paese di Randazzo, al quale ho dato il nome del film "per amore, solo per amore", io lo dedico all'infermiere professionale e mio amico Guido, il cui Amore Universale per le persone e per gli animali, osteggiato da chi è incapace di capirne la sua grandezza, ha fatto si che egli decidesse ieri di uscire dalle scene della vita.

Flickr Lounge: Halloween ....getting ready to go out to Undead themed party - My son helped with the concept which is a Lich - an undead sorcerer, more or less.
What can I say?
The new proposed layout of Flickr is a mess visually and honestly isn't an improvement. Photos don't look better when viewed in the new version. The page looks cluttered and displeasing to the eye. What really upsets me though is the changes to the description and commenting systems...
Tiny, tiny boxes for commenting (which at the moment don't load from oldest to newest) and unless you click a button, only one line of text is viewable on the description. I know "a picture is worth a thousand words" but to really participate and create a sense of community, there needs to be space for conversation and discussion.
Flickr has been my favourite site for the last 5 1/2 years. I've loved that sense of a community and made on-line friends on here that I've now "known" for years. That didn't happen by just uploading and dumping photos. It happened because people were talking about their photos and other members' images. Flickr's new layout is going to make that even more difficult and awkward.
This site is becoming a dumping ground - a storage site for images. That's not what I signed up for - or paid money for. I have little hope Flickr will listen to complaints but wanted to register my dislike for what is being done.
Today marks my first Flickr birthday. It was one year ago today that I joined and uploaded my first images. Photography has become a passion for me and Flickr has certainly helped fuel it. The awesome photographers and terrific people I have met here on Flickr have greatly enriched this hobby. I want to thank all of you, my Flickr friends, for making this such a terrific community.
Many things have changed in my photography and my life this past year. I married my soulmate and we recently learned she will be the mother of my second child in August. My son started at a terrific new school and has become an avid skateboarder. I had the opportunity to take some wonderful trips to places like Alaska, the Redwoods, and nearly every corner of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I feel that my photography has grown to the point that I at least have a basic idea of how to get the image in my mind onto the sensor. I look back now at my archives and know I could do better today with the same opportunities. I love to learn, so I have hope of growing into an actual photographer in the years ahead. I've even been fortunate enough to license a handful of images for use on the web, all of them from contacts made here on flickr. I've had the pleasure of learning and sharing experiences, ideas, and techniques with some of the very talented people here on Flickr. I learned a great deal from reading, from my photo buddies Todd & Tom, from Redgum's flickr outing, and from Jim Altengarten's class at MHCC. I've also learned by doing thanks to the nearly 40,000 images I've put through my trusty Nikon in the past 15 months!
In the next year I hope to expand my photographic knowledge and enhance my experiences. I will soon attend a photo weekend put on by Rocky Mountain School of Photography, I'm really looking forward to that. I'm trying to put the brake on my itchy shutter finger and take more time to compose better images with fewer exposures. There is a time and place for holding the shutter button until the card is full, but it is also very satisfying to come home from a day of shooting with 40 or 50 images that result in 20 or 30 keepers. I want to continue to learn new techniques and work on making the operation of my equipment second nature. One of my biggest frustrations is to look at a series of images back home and realize that if I had remembered some little feature or tried some other setting while I was in the field they would have been better! I want to work on some areas that I know I can be much better like portraits, macro shots, creative lighting, and color management.
Most of all I look forward to living and documenting my family life. I have an active tweener, a newborn, a new mother, and some very excited extended family! Sounds like plenty of temptation for that shutter finger!
This image is a Mosaic made up of many of the 351 public images I've posted in this first year. Thank you for sharing and enhancing my Flickr experience, I look forward to the next year! (Flickr 1 Year Mosaic Web)

UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.
New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.
The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).
Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.
Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.
"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.

I know I haven't been around a lot lately but all the changes flickr has made here have not motivated me to hurry back that's for sure. Some things are okay left as they are :( Do we have to mess with stuff just to "keep up" or make it "better"?
Seriously if it where not for the amazing inspiration and friendships I would probably not renew. And if they leave I will too :(

On the wall behind her it says "BEACT." No idea what that means.
Light bounced from a small umbrella above Sarah.
Better late than never, guess everybody who was planning to do this already did. If you do want to do this though, consider yourself tagged :)
Personal favorite:
My personal favorite would have to be this shot of Cedar. I love how her hair turned out and judging by the faves a lot of you did too. It's my second most favorited pic of the year.

Twas a bright and upstanding meeting night,
when two board members got up to fight.
Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their cameras and shot each other.
