Give me your laughter as a gift,
Teach me to dream
With just a caress
I lose myself in this sea
Give me your star,
the one that lights up this night
full of peace and harmony,
and I will hand my life to you.
Forget-me-not flowers and a silver thimble that has been passed down to me through the ladies in my family, originally from my Great Grandmother.
In Englands Victorian times, silver thimbles were often gifted from a gentleman to his sweetheart which would be worn around the waist in a small pouch attached to a chain. The pouch would also contain a small pair of scissors and a needle case.

Ynys Giftan Island
Ynys Giftan Island is situated in the Dwyrd
Estuary in a rural location overlooking the
picturesque town of Portmeirion and provides
panoramic views of stunning coastline,
mountains and the Irish Sea. The Island is
approximately 3 miles from the popular town
of Harlech and 10 miles from the town of
Porthmadog. It is accessible by boat at high tide
and at low tide by foot, tractor or other suitable
vehicle for traveling across the Estuary.
One of only 43 of Britain’s unbridged tidal
islands, Ynys Giftan is in the wide Afon
Dwyryd estuary near the village of Talsarnau
in Gwynedd, North Wales. The Island has been
unoccupied for many years and has a unique
history. It is said to have been gifted to the
current Lord Harlech’s ancestors by Queen Anne
in the early 1700s, hence it became known as
Ynys Giftan (‘Anne’s Gift Island’).

I was recently thinking about some of the beautiful outfits I've been given as gifts during the past year by some truly special people I know in Second Life. So then I decided, perhaps a nice way to show how much I appreciated and enjoyed these clothing gifts would be to take some pictures of me in the outfits, and post those pictures here on Flickr.
This darling ensemble was from my friend Tabby. It's a risqué little number, but I love it!
This shows the space in between 3 of the Hindu Goddess Kali's 6 arms. It's taken from a 12 inch high bronze statuette,gifted to my parents during their time in Nepal.

Petra is a most talented artist deep in her heart and soul . Her inner beauty comes out in all forms of visual art, from painting to photography. Her eternally searching eye captures beauty in all subjects , from landscapes to portraits, from archtecture to flowers. She has a special place in my heart as a friend, because she believed in my images even when I didn't and, encouraged me to go on and improve and, these words coming from a most gifted artist as her gave me a magical strenght. Thank you so much Petra for being who you are

Cottonstones
St. Mary’s Church in the hamlet of Cottonstones was opened in 1848. It was gifted by the Hadwin family to the workers of Cottonstones, Mill Bank and Soyland areas. The Hadwins were the owners of a cotton spinning business, Eliza Hadwin laid the foundation stone for the church in 1845, when she died she was buried in the graveyard along with other members of the family. I also have family buried here.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
This photo was given to me today. It's a scene from the Metrics Cheerleaders Saturday practice, which I attend whenever I can.
I like this photo so much that I wanted to share it. Many thanks to Shawn for taking this picture.
Castle Gardens is the most historically significant open space in Lisburn and was once the site of Lisburn Castle, a 17th century fortified manor house, built by the Conway family, the landlords of Lisburn. Upon the death of the last landlord, Sir Richard Wallace, and later his wife, Lady Wallace, the Gardens were gifted to the people of Lisburn by Lady Wallace’s heir, Sir John Murray Scott in 1903.
We have many pieces of Native American pottery from various pueblos in New Mexixo. This piece was given to us by John's mom. It was gifted to her many many years ago. It is from Acoma Pueblo which is approximately 60 miles (97 km) west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Acoma is one of the most beautiful places you could ever visit.
Tribal elders assert that the name means 'place that always was', while outsiders say it means 'people of the white rock'.
You can identify Acoma pottery from its thin walls, distinctive geometric patterns, and black, white, and warm colors and sometimes fluted rims. Another distinct feature of Acoma pottery is that it is usually the clay material is unglazed.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra ladies and gentleman. One of my favorite venues.
I am not heading there tonight, but I am heading to the Gifted Gala 2017 held by the Lemont Center for the Arts. The Gala is being held at the Lithuanian World Center Art Museum (which is a hidden gem) in Lemont, Illinois and will benefit the arts. I am very honored to have four pieces hanging in the show.
Have a wonderful night!
She can't walk anymore without the aid of a walking stick, but this gray-haired 91-year-old lady still has an amazing good memory.
For one thing, she still remembers the first name of my deceased mother whom she last met 60 years ago.
I was then just a little boy, so I can't recall an instant having seen her at our place of abode when she went there to pay to my mother her husband's rent for the use of a piece of farm lot. She started talking to me, however, after a young relative of hers mentioned my family name within her hearing distance, and this was when I paid a first visit to her son at his home today.
I was totally surprised when she asked me, "How's Ate Rosie?" ("Ate," a Pilipino word, is a common title of respect for an older sister, but is also used for other older non-relative woman.) In answer, I said that my mother has passed away already a decade ago at the age of 84 years old.

I couldn't tell if these shots were turning out okay until I got home and put them on the computer, and increased the light. Then, wow! I'm so glad I didn't get discouraged by my dark display on my camera.
This is the best year we've had for colorful leaves for quite some time...at least since I discovered photography and was gifted with such wonderful equipment.
Thank you, Guardian Angel! :D
