Una decina di anni fà mia moglie mi chiama dalla stanza dove stavano trasmettendo “bravo bravissimo” un programma condotto da Mike Bongiorno e così resto letteralmente a bocca aperta ascoltando per la prima volta un middle di standard interpretato da un Francesco Cafiso ancora bambino, recentemente ho avuto la fortuna di conoscerlo personalmente e di fotografarlo, la cosa che mi colpisce, oltre il talento, è che quando sale sul palco con il suo sax avviene come una metamorfosi ed escono note piene di forza ed energia creativa.
In questa immagine ho cercato di incidere sul sensore della mia reflex questa sua forza giocando con lo zoom in ripresa!

I'm thankful for Adenosine, which is shown in this molecular model. Adenosine is also known as adenine monophosphate, a substance very important to living things, including us. In the model, black spheres represent Carbon atoms, red, Oxygen, blue, Nitrogen, white, Hydrogen, yellow-orange, Phosphorus. The rods represent bonds between the atoms. The dotted lines have to do with electron location. The graphic is from en.wikipedia.org, which allows such use.
Adenosine is made of Adenine, the structure with a pentagon and a hexagon, plus extensions, on the left. Another building block of adenosine is a phosphate group, which is the Phosphorus on the right, and the surrounding four Oxygens. The rest of the model shows deoxyribose, a five-carbon sugar. This entire structure is a Nitrogen Base, and there are, as you probably know, four types of these found in DNA. The DNA molecule carries hereditary information, coded by the sequence of AT, TA, CG and GC pairs in the center of the double helix that is DNA. Adenosine and the other similar Nitrogen bases, along with phosphate and deoxyribose, a sugar, make up DNA. The photo in the background is of three girls, and was taken at a public event. I didn't ask their relationship, but am 90% sure that the one on the left, and the one on the right, are identical. That means that they have the same DNA. More commonplace, and no less amazing, is that you have the same DNA, too. That is, all but a few of your cells have the same DNA as all the other cells in your body. The hereditary information that gives the left part of your nose its shape also gives the mirror image of that shape to the right half of your nose. Your feet look alike. And so on.
Besides helping carry hereditary information, adenosine is involved in our use of energy. It does so as ATP, which is the same as the molecule modeled, except that there are two more phosphate groups, in a chain. The bonds between these groups are high-energy bonds. When we metabolize food, we take the energy of food, and store it, usually briefly, as ATP. That ATP can go anywhere in a cell, and give up its energy, as it disconnects with a phosphate group.
The ability of these atoms to form these bonds, and the properties of the molecules that result from this, is so remarkable that I believe that God designed Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Phosphorus to act like they do. I can't prove this, nor can it be disproved. Thanks for looking!
This was the highlight and reason for my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024. This is stage 8 of 9.
I was lucky to secure permits for the once monthly photography tour of Kartchner Caverns. Kartchner Caverns State Park strictly forbids any cameras or cellphones in the Caverns. Except for one trip per month for 12 to 15 photographers currently $125. I planned a 4 day 3 night road trip around Southern Arizona anchored by my Kartchner Cavern permit.
I was expecting dark conditions. The State Park turned on all the lights in the Big Room. They don't like turning on all the lights since can cause an increase in algae. This is the reason they only have one photography tour a month.
I found myself adjusting my histograms to not clip the highlights. Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome. Next time I am going to bracket my shots. I almost wish I had brought a ND filter or tried a handheld GND filter.
I don't know speleothems so I won't even try to identify. If anyone can help me with the identification, I will appreciate it.
www.nps.gov/subjects/caves/speleothems.htm#:~:text=The%20...)%20when%20needed.
The features that arouse the greatest curiosity for most cave visitors are speleothems. These stone formations exhibit bizarre patterns and other-worldly forms, which give some caves a wonderland appearance. Caves vary widely in their displays of speleothems because of differences in temperature; overall wetness; and jointing, impurities, and structures in the rocks. In general, however, one thing caves do have in common is where speleothems form. Although the formation of caves typically takes place below the water table in the zone of saturation, the deposition of speleothems is not possible until caves are above the water table in the zone of aeration. As soon as the chamber is filled with air, the stage is set for the decoration phase of cave building to begin.
The term speleothem refers to the mode of occurrence of a mineral—i.e., its morphology or how it looks—in a cave, not its composition (Hill, 1997). For example, calcite, the most common cave mineral, is not a speleothem, but a calcite stalactite is a speleothem. A stalactite may be made of other minerals, such as halite or gypsum.
Classifying speleothems is tricky because no two speleothems are exactly alike. Nevertheless, speleologists have taken three basic approaches: classification by morphology, classification by origin, and classification by crystallography. All three of these approaches have their problems (Hill, 1997), so cavers often take a more practical approach that primarily uses morphology (e.g., cave pearls) but includes whatever is known about origin (e.g., geysermites) and crystallography (e.g., spar) when needed.

The Kartchner Caverns, rated one of the world's 10 most beautiful caves, is an eerie wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites still growing beneath the Whetstone Mountains 40 miles southeast of Tucson.
The limestone cave has 13,000 feet of passages and hundreds of formations built over the past 200,000 years, including some that are unique and world-renowned. It's a "living cave," with intricate formations that continue to grow as water seeps, drips and flows from the walls and slowly deposits the mineral calcium carbonate.
The caverns were discovered by amateur spelunkers Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen in 1974 on land owned by the Kartchner family. They kept the cave a secret until 1988, when the Kartchners sold it to the state to become a state park.
The highlights of the Big Room tour are a stretch of strawberry flowstone, which has been colored red by iron oxide (rust) in the water, and a maternity ward for 1,800 female cave myotis bats, with black grime on the ceiling where the bats hang and piles of guano on the floor. Visitors who look closely will see a bat's body embedded in one of the cave's formations.
Though not all are available on the tours, the caverns' unique features include a 21-foot, 2-inch soda straw that's one the world's largest (Throne Room), the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk (Big Room), the first reported occurrence of "turnip" shields (Big Room), the first cave occurrence of "birdsnest" needle quartz formations (Big Room) and the remains of a Shasta ground sloth from the Pleistocene Age (Big Room).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartchner_Caverns_State_Park
Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles (3.9 km) of passages.[1] The park is located 9 miles (14 km) south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Long hidden from view, the caverns were discovered in 1974 by local cavers, assisted by state biologist Erick Campbell who helped in its preservation.
The park encompasses most of a down-dropped block of Palaeozoic rocks on the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains.
The caverns are carved out of limestone and filled with spectacular speleothems which have been growing for 50,000 years or longer, and are still growing. Careful and technical cave state park development and maintenance, initially established by founder Dr. Bruce Randall "Randy" Tufts, geologist, were designed to protect and preserve the cave system throughout the park's development, and for perpetuity.[3]
The two major features of the caverns accessible to the public are the Throne Room and the Big Room. The Throne Room contains one of the world's longest (21 ft 2 in (6.45 m))[5] soda straw stalactites and a 58-foot (18 m) high column called Kubla Khan, after the poem. The Big Room contains the world's most extensive formation of brushite moonmilk. Big Room cave tours are closed during the summer for several months (April 15 to October 15) each year because it is a nursery roost for cave bats, however the Throne Room tours remain open year-round.[8]
Other features publicly accessible within the caverns include Mud Flats, Rotunda Room, Strawberry Room, and Cul-de-sac Passage. Approximately 60% of the cave system is not open to the public.[9]
Many different cave formations can be found within the caves and the surrounding park. These include cave bacon, helictites, soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites and others.[12] Cave formations like the stalactites and stalagmites grow approximately a 16th of an inch every 100 years.[13]
Haiku thoughts:
Beneath earth's cool veil,
Stalactites in silence grow,
Whispers of stone deep.

Hi I'm Sweetie Reginia and this is my story.
It all started when as the new neighbor moved in next to us.
I went to him! welcome to bring a gift and I said
"I'm Sweetie Reginia their neighbor and that is a welcome gift!" he is delighted with the gift!

Small Sparrow (male), which I've seen near my home :)
The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world. One of about 25 species in the genus Passer, the House Sparrow occurs naturally in most of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and much of Asia. Its intentional or accidental introductions to many regions, including parts of Australia, Africa, and the Americas, make it the most widely distributed wild bird. The House Sparrow is strongly associated with human habitations, and can live in urban or rural settings. Though found in widely varied habitats and climates, it typically avoids extensive woodlands, grasslands, and deserts away from human development. A small bird, it has a length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) and a weight of 24–39.5 grams (0.85–1.39 oz). Females and young birds are coloured pale brown and grey, and males have brighter black, white, and brown markings. The House Sparrow feeds mostly the seeds of grains and weeds, and insects, and can perform complex and unusual tasks to obtain food. The predators of the House Sparrow include domestic cats, hawks, owls, and many other predatory birds and mammals.
The House Sparrow has an extremely large range and population, and is not seriously threatened by human activities, so it is assessed as Least Concern for conservation on the IUCN Red List. However, populations have been declining in many parts of the world.

For week 6 of 52 weeks for dog, Buster continues his theme of where dogs shouldn't be...or in this case what dogs shouldn't be doing.
Since the Olympics are coming to Canada this week, Buster wanted to demonstrate his Olympic spirit - while showing off his sporting abilities ;)
Buster is known in the ski world as the 'Crazy Canuck'. The sport in which he hopes to bring home the gold in, is the Super B (others may be familiar with the super G ;) You can see from the dreamy look and the twinkle in his eye, he is dreaming of gold, and will accept nothing less!
In this photo Buster is sporting an official Olympic Jacket, has on Salomon boots and his Head skis.
To set up this shot, I utilized a light colour sheet as a back drop, and put a bunch of socks into the bottom of the boots for him to stand on (as obviously he would disappear into those boots).
I also tried to over expose the background to smooth out some of the creases that could be seen in the sheet.
Originally I was also in hopes to get goggles on him (which just wouldn't stay on and didn't look right hanging around his neck), and I was also going to try for 4 boots instead of the 2 (but they would have been too far away from each other).
Go team Canada....and Crazy Canuck Buster!
It is amazing how over the past 6 weeks Buster has grown to expect to be put in some weird places...and he doesn't even seem to mind. What my little furry guy will do just for a cheese slice!

Thank you Isaac and Ryan for your kind donations and making both this kid (me) as well as other kids very happy this holiday season :)
Over the past year I have been incredibly lucky to cross off many LEGO "must dos" off my bucket list, and one of them was to partake in Creations for Charity - both as a donor (1) (2) and as a purchaser.
Going into the purchase phase I was out to get what I would consider 'iconic' builds of my favorite builders I was very lucky that Ryan put up his crate, it might not have been his most iconic build, but it's iconic to me - as I believe that was the first ever build I saw of his...
And well ... I kinda twisted Isaac's arm to give up one of his prized Firetrucks (And yes you can still borrow this for shows...)
Cheers guys.
Brief History of Maryborough.
This fertile area of Queensland was the fifth area to be settled when it was still part of NSW. The first settlement in QLD was at Redcliffe (and later Moreton Bay) as a convict colony in 1824. This was followed by white settlement at Ipswich in 1842 and further inland in the mountains at Warwick in 1847. The NSW government sent explorers to the Mary River area in 1842 which was when the river was named. Then in 1847 inland from the Mary River a town was surveyed but not gazetted until 1849. It was Gayndah which now claims to be the oldest town in QLD. The establishment of Gayndah is remarkable given transport difficulties. Near the coast Maryborough was the site of a wharf for pastoralists in 1847 and later a small town was created in 1850 making Maryborough the fifth settlement in what is now QLD. The first land sales at Maryborough were in 1852 although a general store had opened before this time on leased land in 1848. The new town of Maryborough was sited on the Mary River which rises near the Glasshouse Mountains inland from the Sunshine Coast. It generally flows northwards to enter the sea a few miles downstream from the town of Maryborough. The Mary River was named after Lady Mary Lennox the wife of the Governor of NSW Charles Fitzroy. The little town struggled to establish itself but once QLD got independence from NSW in 1859 Maryborough began to grow more quickly as free white settlers spread around the new colony. The delays in growth were partly caused by local Aboriginal resistance to the white pastoralists. Between 1847 and 1853 twenty eight white settlers were killed by Aboriginal people. A white massacre of around 100 Aboriginal people in the early 1850s brought some calm to the area and broke the resistance of the Gubbi Gubbi people. The Gubbi Gubbi people were called the Gin Gins by white settlers hence the name for that town north of Maryborough. Like so many Australian towns Maryborough’s growth was fuelled by mining discoveries. Maryborough was declared an official QLD port in 1859 and the first ship load of immigrants disembarked directly at Maryborough in 1860. Most were female and instead of obtaining work as servants immediately accepted offers of marriage from the men of the district. Maryborough became a municipality in 1861. It soon had a Customs House, a Courthouse and School of Arts but it really grew with the discovery of gold inland at Gympie. Maryborough served as the pot for goods going to and from Gympie from 1867 onwards. The QLD Land Acts of 1867 also opened up the pastoral leasehold lands to farmers for the first time. The main crops grown were maize and sugar. At about the same time as the Gympie gold rush Maryborough got its first sugar mill, a timber mill and John Walker of Ballarat opened a foundry and engineering works to produce mining equipment just as he had done previously in Ballarat. The port expanded and the town grew. A new Post Office (1869), hotels and general stores opened to cater for the miners and the townspeople. By 1871 Maryborough had 3,500 residents with its own newspaper’s, churches and schools. The wider district population was 9,000 people. By 1876 the population had swelled to 5,700 people. The first railway opened in Maryborough in 1881 when a line connected the port with Gympie gold fields.
Maryborough South Sea Islander Hospital. The Kanaka indentured labour system was introduced to QLD in 1863. The Polynesian Hawaiians called themselves kanakas. This was the term used in the 19th century to cover the South Sea Islander indentured labourers. Most who came to the Maryborough region (and Bundaberg too) were from the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu). Some Islanders were also taken as indentured labourers to Chile, to Canada, to California and to Fiji. The arrival of the first indentured islanders coincided with the beginnings of
the sugar industry in the Maryborough region. Sugar is a very intense labour crop and in the USA, the Caribbean and
South America African slaves were used for such work until the mid-19th century. The Americans had their tragic Civil War to end slavery there. British colonies were not allowed to have slaves by the 1830s century including all of the Australia colonies. African slaves were gradually freed in the Caribbean and elsewhere in the mid-19th century. South America had its slaves all freed by the 1870s. Although descendants of the South Sea Islanders like to refer to themselves as the Sugar Slaves this term would be highly offensive to all descendants of African slaves of the Americas and Caribbean. Indentured labour was a common labour system in the 19th century and continued into the 20th century. In Australia the Commonwealth government ran a similar indentured labour scheme for young British men who wanted to be farm labourers. They served a three year term, with no pay until they had completed their indenture, and they needed government permission to buy work boots or any other item. In SA this scheme was known as the Barwell Boys (Barwell was the SA premier at the time) scheme but it operated in WA and other states too. This indentured labour system ended in 1925.
So when the indentured South Sea Islander trade was established in Queensland in 1863 the first labourers were covered by the 1861 Masters and Servants Acts. (All colonies – and later states- had such acts which controlled labour relations right through to the 1980 and 1990s when anti-discrimination and equal opportunity acts watered them down.) Queensland acted quickly after 1863 and introduced the Polynesian Labourers Act in 1868. Amongst the many clauses of the act was the establishment of inspectors of conditions on plantations where South Sea Islanders were indentured. They weighed food rations, inspected housing and clothing. The act was also designed to protect the Islanders’ basic rights and to stop the “kidnapping” of Islanders. All ships captains had to ensure that there was no coercion and that the Islander’s recruitment was consistent with the QLD Polynesian Labourers Act. Although white settlers and Islanders died of fevers and tropical diseases frequently in the Maryborough area it had one of four Islander Hospitals erected by the QLD government in the early 1880s to help alleviate disease and death among the Islander populations in QLD. The first inspector for the health conditions of the Islanders began work in Maryborough in 1875.Their complaints about the conditions under which Islanders lived led to the opening of the 50 bed Maryborough Pacific Islander Hospital and doctor’s residence. Islanders had a higher death rate from disease than whites and extra health care was needed. Thus the Maryborough Hospital opened in 1883 to improve health conditions but it closed just five years later. Like other Islander hospitals it was funded from the wages due to dead Islanders. These wages were diverted to state government coffers. Attached to the hospital was an Islander cemetery which was formally established in 1891 but was used for interments whilst the hospital existed. A total of 363 Islander patients died at the hospital and were presumably all buried in the cemetery. The Maryborough Pacific Islander Hospital buildings were removed in 1892 and some equipment moved to the Maryborough Hospital which established a separate Kanaka ward. The site of the Pacific Island Hospital and cemetery was left vacant until sold off as vacant land in 1911. A controversy arose a couple of years when the Maryborough Council was considering allowing building on the former site. Action were than taken to have the site declared a heritage area. The outcome for this has not yet been decided. If building approval were to happen one can only hope that a suitable memorial and monument is placed there to remind everyone of Maryborough’s role in the South Sea Islander traffic. The site is near Tinana 5 kms west of Maryborough.
The first South Sea Islander labourers arrived at the port of Maryborough in 1867 on the schooner Mary Smith. All were male and found employed straight away with the Maryborough Sugar Company. They were paid £6 per year (paid at the end for the three year contract) compared with a white labourers who would have received up to £30 a year. The Islanders also were fed and housed which the white labourers were not. The Maryborough Sugar Company also paid for the voyage to and from the South Sea Islands. When the Mary borough Pacific Islander Hospital closed in 1888 it was partially because the number for South Sea Islanders was declining in the district. Numbers continued to fall in the 1890s as sugar profits declined. Then all South Sea Islanders were covered by the “White Australia Acts” of the new Federal Government in 1901. At that time the Islander population in Queensland was at its peak with around 9,000 Islanders. Commonwealth legislation banned recruitment from 1904 and started deportation in 1906. By 1908 7,000 Islanders had been deported and about 2,000 were allowed to stay on in Australia because of marriage or health or other issues. Over the life time of the South Sea Islander trade around 60,000 Islanders had been brought into Queensland and of those about a quarter were employed in the Maryborough district.
The Port of Maryborough.
The town actually began with a wharf as once prospective settlers learned that the River Mary was navigable white pastoralist and cotton and maize farmers moved into the district upstream from around 1848. Then in 1859 as the colony of Queensland was created from New South Wales a new international port was created at Maryborough. The town had moved from West Maryborough to the present site. Consequently the first Customs House was erected in 1861. In 1860 the first vessels arrived at the port of Maryborough direct from Europe with a load of immigrants. In 1869 nearly 7,000 immigrants had landed in Maryborough and by 1878 nearly 16,000 had landed here. In fact between 1860 and 1900 around 22,000 immigrants arrived directly in Maryborough from England and Europe. Maryborough also had a coastal steamer service to Brisbane and Rockhampton. From 1867 it also handled all the goods going into and the gold coming out of the goldfields at Gympie. In the last quarter of the 19th century the port of Maryborough handled saw timber, sugar, wool, meat, gold, maize, etc. Before the end of the 19th century when river ports like Maryborough were about to be forgotten because they could not handle larger steamers its imports and exports were roughly in balance in terms of value. The most valuable exports were: gold, silver, copper, fruit, hides and skins, sugar and wool. Of these the most valuable were sugar £50,000, raw and refined, followed by silver/lead £33,000, gold/silver £9,000 and skin/hides £8,000.
Among the early immigrants were shiploads of German settlers from 1860. As the numbers grew the first Lutheran pastor arrived in 1864 followed by a second in 1867. These and later pastors came from Germany or Denmark, mainly the Schleswig district, which was occupied by Germany from 1864 after it defeated the Danes. Between 1860 and 1891 around 180,000 immigrants arrived in Queensland with an assisted government passage and some rights to lease land. Around 16,000 were non British mainly Germans, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes. Other Australian colonies only gave assisted passages to British immigrants except for Tasmania and Queensland. Most of the non-British immigrants were German but the QLD government’s agent I Germany also recruited Scandinavians, Swiss etc. Queensland became the colony with the greatest number of Danes and it had almost as many Norwegians and Swedes as NSW. Some of these non-British immigrant’s landed in Maryborough with the first ship load arriving in March 1871 on the Reichstag from Hamburg. The Scandinavians especially settled at Tiaro and Tinana near Maryborough, around Bundaberg, Pialba at Hervey Bay and in other places like Kingaroy where Sir Jo Bjelke-Petersen lived. The town of Eidsvold, near Gayndah is a Norwegian name and it was established by the Archer brothers from Larvik in Norway. As most of the Scandinavians were Lutheran (but some were Catholic), Danish, Norwegian and Swedish names are often linked to the Lutheran churches of the Maryborough district. Some Scandinavian names (mainly Danish) of Maryborough early settlers include the Jocumsen, Claussen,Madsen, Kehlet, Weinberg, Okeden, Boge, Möller, etc. Many Danish and other Scandinavian names can also be found in the Polson cemetery at Pialba Hervey Bay such as Christensen, Hansen, Mortensen, Nielsen, Petersen, Thomsen etc.

Also near St Johns Church and cemetery were the Kapunda marble quarries at Koonunga. These grey marble quarries provided the impressive marble for the South Australian Parliament on North Terrace. The Kapunda Marble and Building Company got the contract to provide the marble and build the western wing of the SA parliament. After some legal difficulties and a restructuring of the company work began around 1883 and was finished in 1889.The company quote for the work without dome or tower in 1883 was over £100,000. 500 tons of lime and 3 million bricks were needed for the structure and Victor Harbor granite was used for the basement. To provide the best marble the company bought new land at Koonunga sections 88, 115 and 116 of the Hundred of Belvidere for £1.145 covering 299 acres. Also in 1883 Robert Barr Smith of Torrens Park House put in an order for Kapunda marble for steps at his mansion and the City of Adelaide ordered 1,000 yards of marble flags for footpaths in Adelaide. During construction of parliament around 100 men were employed in the quarry. In 1886 a dispute on the final cost erupted between the government and the company and the contract was suspended and the quarry closed. After a year or so of negations a new company took veer the supply of marble from the Kapunda quarry and completed the building of parliament house! When the new company took over the quarry several workers’ deaths occurred. As parliament house neared completion the government allowed the Kapunda Marble Company to resume their lands and quarry in 1889. In 1887 the Kapunda Marble Company had won a medal at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition for their marble. The Company auctioned the plant and equipment at the marble quarry in July 1889 and voluntarily wound itself up in September 1893. Today you can still see where the quarry was once worked at Koonunga. It was not until 1936 when Sir Langdon Bonython the owner of the Adelaide Advertiser donated gave £100,000 that work began and the central and eastern sections of parliament house. Different marble quarries around Kapunda were used for the central and eastern sections of parliament house. Thanks to Sir Langdon Bonython’s generous donation the new wing opened in 1939 still in grey Kapunda marble. But the money did not stretch to incorporate the planned central dome above the building.
Not far from the copper mine was a completely Irish Catholic settlement called a clachan at Bakers’ Flat. Susan Arthure researched this Irish settlement through an archaeological survey and reconstructed history for her MA. in archaeology at Flinders University. Her ground breaking study resurrected knowledge of the existence of such a village which had been recorded now as the only clachan village in Australia. Ms Arthure started from some 1920s Kapunda stories about a former Irish village. Her research discovered old photographs of the thatched cottages, and when the land of Bakers’ Flat was sold in 1898 a surveyor was employed to draw a detailed map of the area previously in 1893. This survey map showed the location of houses and other buildings at Bakers’ Flat. The Irish immigrants settled on the lands from 1854 when they came to be copper miners. The village flourished in the 1860s and 1870s with Catholic Church records indicating around 100 families lived at Bakers’ Flat with 250 recorded births up to 1906. The Sisters of St Joseph ran a school at Bakers’ Flat from 1876 to 1882. By 1902 there were only 38 occupied dwellings down from an earlier 100 dwellings. All dwellings were on rented land or more usually on land occupied with no rental paid. After the Kapunda mine closed in 1878 the villagers moved away and the village declined with the last residents leaving the lands in the 1920s. All buildings were then destroyed or rotted away and Bakers’ Flat became a wheat paddock which it is today. The details it must have been to dig and find them. Ground penetrating radar allowed her to eventually located foundations of some dwellings beneath the soil. Her traditional archaeological work revealed the remains of 13 dwellings and over 1,000 objects. The objects included 91 food items like pepper pots and sugar caster, 62 pieces of cutlery, 700 buttons and 12 decorative buckles, 93 jewellery items, 275 coins, 12 ornaments and 29 religious artefacts etc. Some of these mid-19th century items were stunningly beautiful. You can seem photographs of them in her Master’s degree on line at flex.flinders.edu.au/file/ae35c92e-c373-49b6-b8e2-f5c47fb...
To me the four leaf clover decorative buttons, the snake head buckles, the cricket players buckle, the partial male bust, the lily of the valley, the butterfly and the coiled snake broaches and the triple copper horseshoe broach are superb.
For mothers everywhere, on this Mothering Sunday (UK), I give you the quintessential mother!
The large queen bumble bee overwinters on her own, and then raises the first brood of young by herself, so consequently they are rather small.... they grow into workers who will help her raise the next broods of the season and larger bumble bees will be seen bombing around :o)

I know this picture is a bit central, but I couldn't bear to crop away any of the colourful background, which is the rest of the Ribes bush that the bee is feeding from!!
I took this picture in advance especially for Marmalade's birthday ^_^
Here there is someone who wants to give you something... Espero que hayas tenido un día genial. Sabes que te deseo lo mejor ;D y que todo te vaya llegando poco a poco ñ_ñ Wiiiii~~

Modeling the classic 45surf t-shirts and the Gold 45 Revolver Gold'N'Virtue Bikini on a sunny Malibu summer afternoon--my favorite for shooting on the beautiful socal beach!

Captured in both RAW and JPEG.
Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
May the Hero's Journey Mythology Goddess inspire you (as they have inspired me!) along your own artistic journey! Love, love, love the 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens! :)
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
May the classic California HJM Goddesses guide, inspire, and exalt ye along yer heroic artistic journey!
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malibu beach hut and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)
A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

Lake Lila, from the summit of Mount Frederica.
A little past peak near Long Lake and Lake Eaton, NY. This a great view in the western Adirondacks, and a long, but fairly easy, hike.
Feeple 65 Chloe RECAST in NS by Luo
Has a faceup by me which is well sealed, lashes and she will come with the eyes in the pictures, which are by Candy Kitten and are stunning.
As far as I could tell when putting her together and through playing with her over time and from an inspection recently, there is nothing wrong with her.
She's sturdy, tough, very well made and doesn't seem to have any chips, scratches, stains.
There's minor casting blemishes as you get with recasts, some seams but they aren't that noticeable.
She can stand, as you can see, I haven't posed her in the best pose ever, it was to show she can stand...even like that.
Asking: $230.00 that price includes economy shipping. I am based in the UK so shipping outside of Europe is going to be expensive.
Canada and Australia, I'm afraid I will HAVE to charge extra for shipping due to how expensive even economy is.
If you want a different type of shipping, I will need to put a charge on top, but I will discount it. Just send me a message and I'll try and get you a quote.
This is for you today .....
তোমায় দিলাম আজ ......
Do we need a Valentine day to give a Rose?? Its for you .... any day any time...
