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.
Earthly Bishops may think they can deconsecrate a building, but God's heavenly light still shines on this place. The work of generations in building this church involves more than stone and mortar. The tears of the little community at Ross at the news this church was to be sold, did not overwhelm them however.
A few communities in Tasmania have organised to raise funds to buy back "their" churches from the corporate entity that was originally gifted the land by the Crown. Like all these churches it was built by the donations of faithful parishioners, but now to be used to raise funds for consolidated revenue. I hope Bishops sleep well at night.
If you would like to help the Friends of St John's Church please visit their website and make contact. They would appreciate any assistance you can provide. www.stjohnsross.com.au/fosjrfundraising.html
So this photograph is dedicated to the faithful souls at Ross and their beautiful church building. May the light of Heaven continue to shine for years to come. This is something no mere mortal can take away!
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 was one of two cute little dresses given to me a while ago by my friend Patrick. Thank you so much for those gifts, Patrick! I liked the dresses very much, and the sentiments in which they were given, too.
Many years ago, my father found a rattlesnake lying in the middle of dirt road near his house. Assuming the snake was dead, he carefully placed it in a deep plastic open bucket. He then placed that in the cab of his pickup truck. Knowing a nearby neighbor often ate rattlesnake meat, he decided to surprise his friend. Imagine my father's shock when he heard the distinctive rattle coming from the bucket. Fortunately the snake could not scale the slippery sides of the container. Later my father gifted me with this story and the snake skin. What a remarkable man he was. I'm glad I could share this story with you!

This darling ensemble was from my friend Tabby. It's a risqué little number, but I love it!
My cousins gifted me with a wonderful Portuguese hat crafted from very special sheep's wool that I shall wear with pride on my return to Canada. A number of other portraits of men with hats taken over many years and many visits to Portugal are in the first comment box below. (No, that is not me in the photo above and my hat is a very different style from all of the ones depicted in the portraits.)
We are soon returning to Keefer Lake ... our months here are coming to a close. It has been a great pleasure (to avoid a bit of the harsh Canadian winter) and an even greater privilege to spend time in this marvelous country with these marvelous people. Cheers!

We were gifted a bounty of tomatoes of many sizes and colours. This yellow one with the stem still attached appealed to me. I thought the cherry tomatoes would be a nice touch, but now I think that I would have preferred it without them.

These bright orange azalea flowers have been waving at me from across the street. Fortunately our neighbor gifted us two massive bouquets of his azaleas. What else could I do but say "thank you" and grab my camera! ;)

Discover the Jardin des Personnalités, inaugurated in 2004 by Michel Lamare, Mayor of Honfleur and instigator of the project. Located on an old mudflat of the estuary, this space of 10 hectares landscapes proposes a walk to the discovery of boat-gardens in the center of which the busts of the actors of the historical and cultural heritage of Honfleur stand. Among these personalities: the gifted children of the country, natives of the small city but also personalities who have lived or stayed there, such Claude Monet, Charles Baudelaire to name but a few. A very pleasant walk, both fun and informative. www.ot-honfleur.fr/decouvrir/en-pleine-nature/le-jardin-d...
The Royal College of Music was founded in 1882 and is a world leading conservatoire training gifted students from all over the world as performers, conductors and composers. The two original buildings of the College were designed by Arthur Blomfield and Sidney Smith following a coherent hierarchy between public areas and private teaching rooms. As the RCM has expanded it has however become constrained by later piecemeal additions from the 1960s and 1970s.
The proposed scheme addresses these constraints and is centred on a new external Quad at ground level, accessed from an enlarged Entrance Hall and a new triple-height foyer, which will form the heart of the new master plan. The new project includes: two new multi-functional performance venues; a new home for the Museum of Music, which boasts one of the most significant collections of historic musical instruments in the world; new communal spaces for audiences with cafe-bar and restaurant facilities, as well as new digital recording studio facilities and additional practice and teaching rooms for the College.
The redevelopment of the RCM estate is designed to integrate the College’s buildings more closely with its surroundings, making the most of its unique location opposite the Royal Albert Hall, which was specifically selected for the College by the Prince Consort himself when he designed the master plan for ‘Albertopolis’. The design builds on the heritage and traditions of the Royal College of Music, fashioning an environment which is architecturally harmonious and timeless, with a balance between indoor and outdoor spaces. The new architecture will blend seamlessly with the much loved architecture of Blomfield and Smith and make good the circulation for the first time since originally built.
New communal spaces will address the existing changes in floor-levels and provide step-free access between new and existing spaces so that all visitors and students can find their way around the College with ease. The new state-of-the-art performance spaces will be designed to include recording facilities to enable multi-media broadcasts which will underpin and enhance further the College’s global reach in teaching music.
The scheme will enhance the College’s status as one of the premier destinations for world-class music education; strengthen the RCM as a cultural venue of national and international significance; and create a greatly enhanced environment that inspires students, professors, visiting musicians and the tens of thousands of visitors who come and support the RCM each year.
Public consultation has been carried out with the local community prior to the submission of the Planning and the Listed Building Consent applications in June 2015. It is anticipated that the two year building programme could commence as early as 2016 for completion in 2018.
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.

Sacred Kingfishers mate for life and during the Courtship phase of each breeding season he engages in Courtship feeding to strengthen the bond and prove he is a good provider, also just so he can get closer to her. Here he is looking very proud as he has just gifted her with a nice fat Frog.
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.
Taken in the capital town of Iba, Zambales, Philippines.

This picture shows an amazing swimsuit my lovely friend Tabby gave me. It's so pretty and such a good colour, she definitely chose wisely. So, thanks for that, Tabby!

This is one of two marble Chinese Lions which flank the vehicle entrance to Dollar Park in Falkirk.
They were shipped to Scotland from Peking in 1924 by a rich Scots-American philanthropist Robert Dollar who had already gifted Dollar Park to the town of Falkirk in 1922.
Robert Stanley Dollar (1844-1932) was born in the village of Bainsford near Falkirk but with his family emigrated to Canada in 1857. Robert Dollar later moved to the United States with his wife and family in 1885 and in 1888 he became a naturalized American citizen.
In his lifetime Robert Dollar had been a lumber baron, shipping magnate and philanthropist.
He died on 16th May 1932 in San Rafael, California.

This picture, and the one after it, show a gorgeous bikini I was given by Aris. So, a slew of thank yous go out to you, Aris, for that wonderful gift! Many hugs too.

(No it was not set up, I just walked by after getting coffee and thought, hey, I need to capture that!)
With The Gifted premiering yesterday, I figured I would make two of the main characters from it. Unfortunately I don't have the zombie businessman hairpiece, which would be perfect for Andy. And I had to decide if I wanted the striped shirt on the inside, or his camo coloured jacket, so I opted for the striped shirt. As for Lauren, Maria Hill's torso would be better suited for her, but I also do not have her, so I had to make do. Anyway, I really enjoyed the show, and there were quite a few twists I wasn't expecting. There was a cool nod to the animated series, and a fun cameo as well.
