The biggest insect hotel ! I thought it was cool to create something like this, it must be buzzing inside.

This is probably a work or storage shed in the local park.

When I saw the tractor, I knew I had to try for a photo. I flagged the farmer and he stopped to ask what I needed. When I said I needed his tractor parked there to make a photo with the passing train, he smiled and gladly jumped down to watch me take pictures. After the train passed, I showed him the back of the camera and he commented it was a neat image. We parted ways with a big wave. Nebraska really does offer a "slice of the good life"

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."

A neighbor friend of mine is posing in a shed window for this image -

in addition to her great smile - I think the reflections in the windows make the photo...

Mary, Princess Royal, Princess of Orange and Countess of Nassau (4 November 1631 – 24 December 1660) was the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland and his queen, Henrietta Maria. She was the wife of William II, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau (27 May 1626–6 November 1650) and the mother of King William III of England and Ireland, II of Scotland (14 November 1650–8 May 1702). Mary Stuart or Mary of Orange, as she was also known, was the first daughter of a British Sovereign to hold the title Princess Royal.

 

Mary Henrietta Stuart was born at St. James's Palace, London. Charles I designated her Princess Royal in 1642, thus establishing the tradition that the eldest daughter of the British Sovereign might bear this title. The title came into being when Queen Henriette Maria, the daughter of King Henri IV of France wished to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the French king was styled (Madame Royale). Until that time, the eldest daughters of English and Scottish kings were variously titled Lady or Princess (The younger daughters of British Sovereigns were not consistently titled princesses of Great Britain and styled Royal Highness until the ascension of George I in 1714).

 

Her father, Charles I, wished the Princess Royal to marry a son of Philip IV, king of Spain, while her first cousin, Karl Ludwig, the Elector Palatine, was also a suitor for her hand. Both proposals fell through and she was betrothed to Willem, the son and heir of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of the United Provinces, and of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. The marriage took place on 2 May 1641 at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall Palace, London, but was not consummated for several years due to the bride's age. However, in 1642, Mary crossed over to the Dutch Republic with her mother, Queen Henrietta Maria, and in 1644, as the daughter-in-law of the stadtholder, she began to take her place in public life.

 

In March 1647, her husband, William II, succeeded his father as stadholder. However, in November 1650, just after his attempt to capture Amsterdam from his political opponents, he died of smallpox. The couple's only child, Willem (later William III), was born a few days later. The Dowager Princess of Orange was obliged to share the guardianship of her infant son, with his grandmother Amalia, the widow of Frederick Henry, and with Frederick William, the elector of Brandenburg. She was unpopular with the Dutch due to her sympathies with her family, the Stuarts; and at length, public opinion having been further angered by the hospitality that she showed to her brothers, the exiled Charles II and the Duke of York (later James II), she was forbidden to receive her relatives. From 1654 to 1657, the princess passed most of her time away from Holland. In 1657 she became regent on behalf of her son for the principality of Orange, but the difficulties of her position led her to implore the assistance of Louis XIV of France; the French king answered by seizing the principality.

 

The restoration of Charles II in England and Scotland greatly enhanced the position of the Dowager Princess of Orange and her son in Holland. In September 1660, she returned to England. She died of smallpox at Whitehall Palace, London and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

I happened upon this blast from the past (Pun Intended) on West Marine Drive in Astoria, Oregon. The Ragtop Nash Metropolitan is a car I've always wanted to drive and the day I photographed this would have been perfect.

:: PORTFOLIO

 

Riding motorcycle on the unknown, mostly randomly chosen mountain roads were a part of the journey. Leaving ourselves to serendipity - going to places that we haven’t gone before, seeing things that we haven't seen before, meeting people – some of the gifts of serendipity.

That day started as a bright, sunny day… Then a soft rain began…Then it started to rain like crazy! At that point we had to stop… while we were looking for a shelter a lady invited us to her home. She lit a fire by oak woods (whose scents I love so much), she brewed tea on that stove (the scent of a newly brewed tea…how I love it), so we could get dry and get warm.

Inviting and welcoming strangers to one's home…giving them what they need… it is such a simple and natural thing to do for those people. No words will be enough to thank them for their hospitality. No words can be enough to tell their hospitality.

 

I took the photograph of her window, plum trees just outside that window and the rain when sitting next to the stove, inhaling the scents of oak woods and newly brewed tea.

Grounded in traditions yet undeniably fun, Gujarati weddings are a perfect portrayal of their colorful culture, warm hospitality and delectable vegetarian cuisine. From twirling bandhani outfits to fun wedding games, and of course, a whole lot of garba, there is never a dull moment.

Equivalent to the ‘baraat,’ the groom travels to the bride’s home or the wedding venue on a magnificently decked horse as his relatives dance along with him on the way. Upon reaching, the groom and his family are welcomed by the bride’s mother with sweets and aarti in the ‘jaan’ ritual. In a fun custom, the bride’s mother then lightly pinches the groom’s nose to remind him to be humble since he is there to ask for her daughter’s hand, as he playfully tries to avoid getting caught.

In a photography workshop in Kuwait titled "Eye for Life", we were shooting our way through in Kuwait market area when this has caught my eye. Four teas were poured and one person stirred the sugar and handed the small saucers to the seated guests. I was there for this and it did catch my eye.
