Although many of the trails were closed in several parks, we were gifted with this moody view of Mt. Robson as we drove by along the highway. It would have been nice to have the lake in the foreground. However, it was magnificent to see this mountain rise up ahead of us as we drove closer. I was able to wait long enough to get that high peak just visible before it was hidden in the clouds again.
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!

A simple translation for my friends who are curious about the words - - -
What is the one thing that drives you crazy?
As if the daily meals are optional, and you never noticed when you fell asleep..
Worry not about the things that you don't have.
You are already gifted.
The memorial fountain was gifted to the people of Sydney by the children of Lewis Wolfe Levy in 1889. It is made of polished red and white granite and features a bronze figure. It was placed at the Domain entrance to the Botanic Gardens and was prepared at the works of Messrs Freeman, Penryn and Cornwall. The figure, a water nymph in bronze, was cast by C. B. Birch.
Lewis Wolfe Levy (13 June 1815 – 25 January 1885) was an English-born Australian businessman and politician. He was born in London, the son of merchant Benjamin Wolfe Levy and his wife Martha née Levy. He migrated to Sydney in 1840 and established himself at Maitland, before moving to Tamworth. There he took over an established store and went on to make it into one of the most significant businesses in Tamworth. In 1849 he formed a business partnership with his cousin Abraham Cohen. He was also a gold buyer during the gold rush period in the 1850s. He died on 25 January 1885, survived by his wife and thirteen of their children. His estate was valued for probate at over £245,000. Most of his estate was left to family and friends with £3875 bequested to various charitable institutions. 10599

a customer gifted me these 3 sunflowers last week. i sketched them before they faded away. I always feel sorry for flowers in vases. I love them more in the garden or in nature.

These are Dulce de Leche Besito Cookies from Porto's Bakery that my brother baked and gifted to us. Delish!
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.
These guys are regular birds in the bay and can be seen all year round.
Gifted with the perfect camouflage they should be the consummate masters of disguise. As always they can't keep still, makes my job of finding them easier though.

Like most Type 57s, the Stelvio (4 seat cabriolet) was the imperious Ettore Bugatti's very gifted son, Jean Bugatti's design and was named after the Passo dello Stelvio pass in the Eastern Alps. Although some Stelvios were completely finished in house, most of the Stelvio bodies were manufactured to Jean's design, by Gangloff of Colmar who modified the design in detail from car to car. Some of the bodies used faired-in headlights where the majority had external units. The rear seat in the Stelvio had too little legroom, it could only be used as an occasional 2+1 with the passenger seat fully forward.
It used the twin-overhead camshaft 3.3-litre inline-8 which was good for 135 bhp in standard form, though considerably boosted by the supercharger. Chassis arrangements included Rudge Witworth wire wheels, fifteen inch drum brakes and an uncluttered chassis having good strength. As with most Bugatti designs the Type 57 was relatively simple in design, but the result of complicated craftsmanship. Bugatti and Gangloff produced around 80 Stelvios, each slightly different from the rest.
Chassis arrangements included Rudge Witworth wire wheels, fifteen inch drum brakes and an uncluttered chassis having good strength.
The Type 57 Bugatti, introduced in 1934, marked Jean Bugatti's emergence as Bugatti's leader and creative force. It was the first new model built under his direction and it incorporated many features that were new to Bugatti. Its dual overhead camshaft eight-cylinder engine had dimensions of 72x100mm, offering 3,257cc displacement. The crankshaft ran in five main bearings
The Type 57 also marked Bugatti's first use of a transmission fixed to the engine crankcase and a single plate clutch. Jean created a novel independent front suspension system using transverse leaf springs for the first two examples of the Type 57 before Le Patron spied it and insisted it be replaced by a proper Bugatti hollow tubular live axle. Thenceforth suspension was traditional Bugatti semi-elliptical front and reversed quarter-elliptical rear leaf springs with cable-operated mechanical drum brakes.
Much of the Type 57's commercial success may be attributed to Jean Bugatti's sensitive, flowing coachwork, which graced the most famous of the chassis' examples. Atalante two-seat coupé, Ventoux four-seat coupé, Stelvio cabriolet and the Galibier sedan vied with the best of France's and Europe's formidable coachbuilders' creations and comprised the bulk of Type 57 production. Bugatti's wealthy clients could have the very best, but overwhelmingly they chose Jean Bugatti's designs on the Type 57.
Despite financial travail, development of the Type 57 continued with the introduction of a stiffened frame and rubber-mounted engine along with the supercharged 160hp (later increased to above 170hp) Type 57C in 1936. In 1938 the nearly unthinkable happened in Molsheim, when Bugatti finally adopted Lockheed hydraulically actuated brakes and replaced the beautiful and lightweight but expensive aluminum-spoked wheels and brake drums with Rudge-Whitworth center-lock wire wheels and separate brake drums.

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.

Gifted to the city in 1879 by the master brewer, MP and philanthropic giant, Michael Bass.
Yep, you don’t get those qualities in politicians these days.
Sold off by the cash-strapped city council (probably due to underuse, thank you internet), it’s now a wedding and function venue. At least it’s not a tattoo parlour or a vape shop.

The view from Maiden Rock Bluff is a spectacular one - train or no train.
I got an idea to hike the bluff train within the Maiden Rock Bluff State Natural Area on day before Christmas Eve seeing as there was no snow. The bluff had been high on my wish list. Views from the various vistas are amazing, and I was gifted a train rolling along the shores of Lake Pepin while I was admiring the scene. I was hoping a train would show up, and one fortunately did! I have admired others' Mississippi River bluff railroad photos, so I was pleased to get one myself.

To be more specific, one of the pressed flower note cards our mother used to make. She was a very creative, talented, gifted person, and one of the many things she would make were these note cards made with pressed flowers from her own garden.
She had a patch of Queen Anne's Lace growing in the backyard for this purpose. I still have a small assortment of her cards left, and this one with the Queen Annes' Lace flower is my favorite.
