This is the original George. Georgina looks so much like him I got them confused. He is a big boar now, not quite as large as Brutus, most bears aren't. Any desire to get the low off the water pov was quickly diminished when our eyes met...too bad that would have made such a good shot :)

A church inspired by St Paul's Cathedral
Vast and solitary, St George's is one of the most magnificent 18th-century churches in Dorset. It rises from the rocky, treeless and dramatic peninsula of Portland and is the masterwork of a local mason named Thomas Gilbert whose grandfather supplied the Portland stone used to build St Paul's Cathedral.
The interior is fabulously preserved with its lectern, pulpit, box pews and galleries all surviving. It is a 'preacher's church'; with all the seating facing the twin pulpits - one for reading 'the Word'; (scripture), the other for lengthy sermons.
The sprawling churchyard is a treasure trove of fabulous headstones and memorials that tell tales of murder, piracy and adventure in a gloriously atmospheric setting. There are inscriptions to Mary Way and William Lano, who were shot and killed in 1803 by a press gang, and Joseph Trevitt, an assistant warder at Portland Prison who was murdered by a convict in 1869.

This is the reason bulldogs are so wonderful. They have a way of getting people to laugh. George has the funniest sleeping positions. I don't even know how to put him in such a position. If you could only hear him snore...
I swoop around your head
But I never hit
I'm blinded by your daylight.
Don't look into your eyes cause I'm desperately in love
In love
When you walk in the room everything disappears
When you walk in the room it's a terrible mess
When you walk in the room I start to melt
When you walk in the room I follow you round
Like a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a lapdog
I'm your lapdog, yeah.
i wish you couldnt figure me out.
If i'm going to be honest, i'm hiding alot, so much that none of you will never know.

Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (1963 – 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer, initially a member of the music duo Wham.
He was best known in the 1980s and 1990s with his style of post-disco dance-pop, with many best-selling songs such as "Last Christmas", "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "One More Try", " Careless Whisper", and many others ....
My special homage to this unique artist that marked a entire generation, a generation who fought for freedom and the acceptance of the right to a different sexuality !

When I was quite young I had a stamp collection book and my mom saved it and at some point it was returned to me. I recently looked through it and the loose stamps and decided to photograph some of them. I was struck by this one of George Eastman who perhaps more than anyone brought photography to the average person in the form of a Brownie camera. Some details from Wikipedia are below. This stamp was issued in 1954.
In 1884 George Eastman, of Rochester, New York, developed dry gel on paper, or film, to replace the photographic plate so that a photographer no longer needed to carry boxes of plates and toxic chemicals around. In July 1888 Eastman's Kodak camera went on the market with the slogan "You press the button, we do the rest"."History- Kodak". www.kodak.com. Retrieved 4 December 2021. Now anyone could take a photograph and leave the complex parts of the process to others, and photography became available for the mass-market in 1901 with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie.
The Brownie was a series of cameras made by Eastman Kodak. Released in 1900, it introduced the snapshot to the masses. It was a basic cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens that took 2 1/4-inch square pictures on 117 roll film. It was conceived and marketed for sales of Kodak roll films. Because of its simple controls and initial price of $1 (equivalent to $31 in 2020) along with the low price of Kodak roll film and processing, the Brownie camera surpassed its marketing goal.
It was invented by Frank A. Brownell. The name comes from the brownies (spirits in folklore) in Palmer Cox cartoons. Over 150,000 Brownie cameras were shipped in the first year of production. An improved model, called No. 2 Brownie came in 1901, which produced larger 2-1/4 by 3-1/4 inch photos and cost $2 and was also a huge success.
Brownies were extensively marketed to children, with Kodak using them to popularise photography. They were also taken to war by soldiers. As they were ubiquitous, many iconic shots were taken on Brownies.
Union Pacific 4141 was painted to honor George HW Bush, the 41st President of the United States. The 4141 saw some freight service before being stored at North Little Rock.
While visiting HoggerMatt in Fort Worth, we caught the MHOFW-15 stopping at Tower 55 for a crew change on December 16, 2005. The UP kept this set together for quite a while between Fort Worth and Houston.
Today it was announced the former President passed away and the UP 4141 is moving to Texas, rumored to pull some sort of funeral train. Rest in Peace Mr. President.

Between 1908 and 1912,Bellows painted a series of landscapes focusing on life by the Hudson River in New York City that were praised by critics for their ruggedness and "vigorous manner".In Hudson River,a scene of Riverside Park under construction with a view of the Palisades,the artist used an aerial perspective,and a palette of soft subtle colors to depict urban progress.

"George H. Swearingen was born in Hopwood in 1853. In 1876 he became a partner with George W. Poster in the general mercantile business and bought out Porter in 1880. "While attending the 1893 World's Fair, his building burned down. He soon opened his new store in the brick building on Railroad Street, which is still standing and is used as a residence. If you look closely, you can see his name still painted on the side of the building and a bronze plate bearing his name and date at the top."
