Is not this wild rose sweet without a comment? Does not this daisy leap to my heart, set in its coat of emerald? :-)

HFF!! Integrity Matters!

People just decide that their boat isn't worth it anymore, they dump it or maybe it breaks down. According to CJ a local boat captain it costs they county about 15k to remove these boats and they only have a budget each year of 85K. So, when these owners determine enough is enough for them, they remove the VIN numbers and anything of value and let the rest of us pick up the mess. I really dislike people like that. Best part.... If you look at the name of the boat close up... Integrity.
A twofer at the Split Rock Lighthouse yielded the Philip R Clarke and American Integrity gliding through the icy cold waters of Lake Superior, which was evidently warmer than the surrounding air tempature.
Well worth the frozen toes and feet!
The little man stands up for the future…
I live in the United States of America, and, while I’d never tell anyone who to vote for, I find the pivotal moment before us too important to sit quietly on the sidelines. No matter where you live, I hope you have the ability to stand up for what you believe in, to use your voice, to use your power for good, and, right now in my country, to get out and vote.
I believe in working together to build a world founded on kindness, compassion, connection and community. I believe character matters. I believe we should lift one another up and treat each other with dignity by showing respect even if we disagree. I believe everyone has the right to make decisions about what happens to their body, and everyone has the right to choose who they love. I believe in a world where everyone can pursue their dreams and where we help one another to achieve them, a world where we bring people together through understanding. I believe in freedom, and the best way to be more free is to grant more freedom to others.
If, like me, you have this important right, the right to vote,
please do, and stand up for your future.
ONE OF THE TRUEST TESTS ON INTEGRITY IS YOUR BLUNT REFUSAL TO BE COMPROMISED INTO DOING WHAT IS WRONG.

Articulated Barge, Self-Unloading Cement Carrier; Paired with Tugboat G. L. Ostrander, Length Overall [Combined Tug & Barge]: 544′ , Home Port: Cleveland, OH
Busy day of boat traffic in the St. Joseph River. Minutes later, the barge sounded a long blast and sailed into Lake Michigan on the way to Green Bay.
I'm a big fan of the Carquinez Bridges and have shot them from many different angles.
Somehow I got the idea that it would be cool to find a center point looking through the triangular supports from Crockett. The ideal alignment is a little lower than this and is most likely through someone's window. That being said this best alignment I could find from the street....
Life is a wheel of fortune and it’s my turn to spin it, so be true to what you see and say, or else!
Sunset, Saranac Lake, Adirondacks, NY.
How many evenings have I waited through, watching my exposure drop with each passing minute. Sunset has no integrity. What may have been spectacular last night, with the same type of day as today, wonât necessarily happen again. Clouds are always a help, but not an absolute. Sometimes there's a glow that just keeps intensifying, with a perfectly clear sky. Then there are days with the right combination of cloud cover proportionate to sky and horizon to light the world on fire. If conditions look right, expectations rise. But there is no honesty. I have been set up so many times with what looked like perfection, only to see it fizzle at the last. Too often, the sky can go neutral in an instant, the clouds turning white to gray without a hint that color ever even existed. It's not exactly lying. It is more like someone pretending to be one thing, and not being who you thought she was at all. You wonder, when she's holding out that promise, what pleasure she takes in deserting you, in being unfaithful. On this night, though, she has my back. As the ridgelines become erotic silhouettes, I ache at the colors of desire thrown up--the heat of the yellows, the warmth of the oranges, the passion of the pinks. And sadden at how quickly they fade into that vault of ice above. After so many disappointments, I shake my head at how easily I am seduced by the fulfillment. I've learned not to trust anything, except that there will be a sunrise, and there will be a sunset, even if there is nothing to be seen. Sunset has no integrity, but I do. I keep returning, every time it callsâ¦for the lust of it, I guess. But tomorrow, I will be in a different place, with a different feeling in my heart. And maybe Iâll find a sunset that doesnât fade to blue.
CN L514 is done their work in Thamesville, and returns west towards Chatham to eventually turn south down the Sarnia Spur to Blenheim
A 1,000 foot ship, American Integrity, coming into Muskegon Channel tonight.
To all of my flickr friends and contacts, I am trying to catch up with your photostreams, but I am way behind and it will take awhile. I have been enjoying the fleeting good weather with my camera whenever possible. Please forgive my absence recently, life got unexpectedly crazy. : )
“A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.”

Hmm...I think I just created an alternate Poppy I want! [Insert half-hearted sarcasm here]: Thanks a lot, picmonkey. :)

Game started by Maria Arcticfox -- Thank you to those who tagged (I tried to tag you back).
Rules: The rules are very simple - show us your dolls with snow, with ice, show your dolls as snow queens, snow kings, and as your beloved winter fairy-tale characters. Or maybe we will have a look at your dolls in their usual life - walking outside in snow).
Please feel free to participate, if you see this!
About this photo: I wasn't sure what I would do for this tag game (my imagination has been a little dull lately), but we were surprised with the lightest snowfall today -- our first accumulating snow of the season (last year we had none!). So out Ask Any Poppy and I went to find a good spot for a winter photo. Her hat is handmade and her coat is by Squishtish.
American Integrity departs Duluth shorly after loading iron ore at CN 6. She is pushing lots of water due to large waves coming into the canal. 10/2/19
