FRAGILE FORKTAIL DAMSELFLY-05234704
Sometimes you notice the smallest things, it is those moments when the big things fade into insignificance.

After some long weeks, I finally got out to do a little shooting. Not too much to see, but at least I got to play with the macro lens a bit. And only 7 days until vacation!
On December 14-15, 2017 the international research consortium led by the Lomonosov Moscow State University (School of World Politics - Center for Security and Development Studies), University of California (Irvine) and Institute for Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, held an international academic conference' Empowering Sustainability in a Fragile World' in partnership with the Russian International Affairs Council and with financial support from the Russian Science Foundation (project #15-18-30066).
The conference initiated a substantive discussion on the complex linkages between security, peace and development - the most pertinent in the vast region of the Middle East and North Africa suffering from institutional failures, bloody civil conflicts, escalation of great powers’ rivalries and the rising tide of Jihadism - between the security and development specialists, as well as experts on individual countries and regions from Russia, the Middle East and North Africa, Western Europe, and North America.
People are fragile. They can be hurt by anything.
And yet we treat them as if they are solid objects,
even though we believe we can see through them.
They believe they are opaque, dense containers
of great mystery. But look at their hair, the way
it floats about the head. And their ears, was any-
thing funnier to feel? They are quite ridiculous
and thus very endearing. I like them more than
a lot. They are fun to take for a walk or eat a
pizza with. But you must not shake them. That
can make them lift off the ground. Heights
frighten them, because they remember when
they first fell to earth.

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
My mom got a package, wrapped in a map of France! I'm gonna use the map for my french textbooks next semester. I used the fragile stickers for my WTJ :) (Breekbaar means fragile in Dutch)

5.Fragile
Fragile shows a beautifully depicted world by artist Roger Dean on the front cover. The inference is assumed that our world is “fragile”. The back cover reinforces that notion with an illustration of the world breaking and pieces floating away.
ODC - 2023 6 12 - FRAGILE -- 12th - 18th June - We went to rake steamer clams and found these fossils. These are not I am sure really old fossils, mostly I am sure they are steamer clam shells, I wanted to take one but when you try to pick it up it breaks in pieces, so didn't try any more! Wish I could find more info on them.
