No, not that sort of snake handling.
Little A with a rather pretty corn snake at the Story Museum in Oxford.
Words and heart should be handled with care, for words when spoken and hearts when broken are the hardest things to repair.
for 7DoS: not many dots/ spots around my hotel room this evening, but I did find this one in the middle of a handle.
Unusual door handle and fancy brass door plate in the National Trust managed property Belton House.
The Belton House emblem dog is a greyhound. The Brownlow family, who owned Belton House for 300 years, had permission from Elizabeth I to use a greyhound in their crest. The greyhound appears in various forms throughout the estate.
For 7DOS I've chosen the theme "old tools" as I want to try something a bit different. This is part of the handle of a very old screwdriver - scuffed & worn. More texture than I usually like in minimal photos, but I hope this shows the age of the tool.
In urban public transport, provision is made for standing passengers, often called straphangers[ or standees,[5] to rationalize operation and to provide extra capacity during rush hour.
Various types of handholds are provided for standing passengers:
hanging strap – a strap suspended from the ceiling (often with a handle or a loop)
grab handle – a pivoted, rigidly-mounted, or suspended handle often mounted above eye level of standing passengers
handrails – rigid rails running horizontally below the ceiling
stanchions – vertical poles anchored between the floor and ceiling
grab rails or grab bars – smaller hand rails attached to seats, doors, and doorways

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, a Nikon D850 FX Pro body as my trusted companion, I travel light with less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 25.680+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty four metres on a beautiful summers day, August 25th 2018 off Rue Auguste Comte and Boulevard Saint-Michel in the grounds of Le jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, France.
Situated in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the twenty three hectare gardens were created in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, widow of King Henry IV of France. Year round these beautiful grounds offer free access to the public and they are enjoyed by local Parisiens and tourists alike who can find a place to sit on a plentiful array of metal and plastic chairs supplied by the local authorities and left liberally scattered around the grounds.
In this scene we see people walking around in the Jardin, and a mother taking a rest and reading a book beneath the shade of some trees whilst her young child catches some sleep sitting in it's pushchair.

So I took the initial image on my ipad and when I posted it you could see the pixels from the screen peeking through. I decided to put this to my benefit and edited this in photoshop to look like a painting thus making the background an asset instead of a distraction.
Flint knife with a fish-tail shaped blade.
The handle is covered in gold leaf and decorated with scenes typical of Naqada II phase paintings found on pottery vases. Three female figures, probably dancers, stand in a line holding one another´s hand, the first one to the left holds a fan. The four wavy lines on the right hand side of the handle represents the water of the Nile, while the other side of the handle shows a boat with two cabins.
The knife was not intended for use in daily life, but rather had a religious function and was used for rituals.
Naqada II, provenance unknown.
