After a fatal accident involving my Nikon D850 earlier in the year, not quite being able to afford an identical replacement, I recently invested in a second hand Nikon D4S as an alternative. It might be a bit more dated, but one thing I really like about it is the built in vertical grip, meaning when I want to go portrait, I never hesitate to flip the camera to vertical shooting. The situation seemed to call for it when this red deer stag titled its head skyward to make himself known to his drifting harem, staring me down mid bellow for added impact.

It was built around 1220 and has a history that involves Robert the Bruce and Flora MacDonald

Warming up before the parade.

 

This festival Involves various bagads from Brittany (Bretagne), Wales (Pays de Galles), Ireland (Irelande), Scotland (Ecosse) and Galicia (Galice, Espagne. Spain).

Following the parade, the various groups went to the large tents where their area was represented with food and a a bar:

There was a tent for Brittany, with folkloric dance and a cider bar; a tent for Wales, also with dance and a bar; a tent for Ireland with Irish dance, ale and rum; a tent for Scotland, with dance and rum, and a tent for Galicia, also with dance and a bar.

Plan de la Besurta, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.

 

Ruta cuyo itinerario discurre en el entorno de las pistas de esquí nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en el Valle de Benasque. La ruta tiene su inicio en el Plan del Hospital atravesando en su recorrido bellos parajes como el Plan de Estan y el Plan de la Besurta para llegar finalmente hasta el espectacular Plan d´Aiguallut con magnificas vistas al pico Aneto. Se trata de recorrer una parte del conocido como Camino dels Aranesos que originalmente unía el Plan del Hospital con el Valle de Arán.

 

El recorrido se divide en tres tramos, un primer tramo muy corto y sencillo hasta el Plan de l'Estan, un segundo tramo tambien muy sencillo hasta la Besurta y un tramo final algo más exigente aunque accesible a cualquier senderista acostumbrado a la montaña hasta el Forau d´Aiguallut.

 

Route whose itinerary runs around the Nordic ski slopes of Llanos del Hospital in the Benasque Valley. The route begins in the Pllan del Hospital, passing through beautiful places such as the Plan de Estan and the Plan de la Besurta to finally reach the spectacular Plan d'Aiguallut with magnificent views of the Aneto peak. It involves walking through a part of what is known as the Camino dels Aranesos, which originally linked the Hospital Plan with the Aran Valley.

 

The route is divided into three sections, a first very short and easy section to Plan de l'Estan, a second section that is also very simple to Besurta and a final section that is somewhat more demanding although accessible to any hiker accustomed to the mountains until the Forau d'Aiguallut.

Becoming a judge at a UK county show involves gaining expertise in a specific area (e.g., livestock, horticulture, showjumping, or dog showing)

 

The specific steps will depend heavily on what you intend to judge:

 

General Requirements

 

Specialised Knowledge: You must have significant, proven experience and expertise in the specific class or breed you wish to judge (e.g., owning and exhibiting pedigree dogs for a number of years, or experience in a specific form of agriculture).

 

Membership & Support: Often, you need to be a member of the relevant breed or discipline-specific association (e.g., the Shetland Pony Stud Book Society or a breed club for dogs) and gain their support for your application.

 

Stewarding/Experience: Accumulating experience by stewarding at a number of shows is a common prerequisite.

 

Formal Training/Assessment: You will typically need to attend seminars, workshops, and pass examinations or practical assessments to prove your competence. This often involves both theoretical knowledge (rules and regulations) and practical skills (judging different animals/exhibits).

So Anita and I came to Chincoteague Island yesterday, arriving mid to late afternoon and after an initial tour of the island headed over to Assateague Island in the hopes of spotting some wild ponies. They proved to be as illusive as the black bears we hunt for! But we did spot this turtle trying to cross a very busy loop road. We stopped, put on the four way flashers and hopped out to give him a hand. Anita, having previous experience picking up Snapping turtles refused to touch him and I was photographing the event. Traffic was backing up. Finally he recognized us for his guardian angels and hiked himself up and started trundling across the highway. He got to the oncoming traffic lane and kept going but a car was coming at him and I stepped up and motioned to the car to stop.... he kept coming! I stepped another step into the lane thinking surely the guy would stop but he kept coming! That inconsiderate driver missed me by Inches and the turtle by less! But in the end, the turtle was safe on the other side of the road and we went on our way. Later in the day we watched 3 young men do the same with another turtle with much boisterous good will and waving some bottles of... I don't know, Beer maybe? LOL And so today, who knows what wild adventures await. We are off pony hunting which may involve electric go-carts, bicycles or boats. Who knows???

I love to see our local puffins at RSPB Fowlsheugh - but it does involve getting close to cliff edges, and I hate heights! There’s a natural hollow which feels safe to sit in, with my boots firmly wedged in - I’m sure it has been carved out by many keen photographers’ bottoms! 😀

"The contemplative journey, because it involves the purification of the unconscious, is not a magic carpet to bliss. It is an exercise of letting go of the false self, a humbling process, because it is the only self we know. God approaches us from many different perspectives: illness, misfortune, bankruptcy, divorce proceedings, rejection, inner trials. God has not promised to take away our trial, but to help us to change our attitudes toward them. That is what holiness really is. In this life, happiness is rooted in our basic attitude toward reality."

- Thomas Keating, The Human Condition: Contemplation and Transformation

My happiness always involves Ruffy. And nothing is better than that. Well… maybe Ruffy x 6 is better. ;-) Create your own happiness and Happy Smile on Saturday! Hope this makes you smile. :-)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been working on this pic for about a week and before it gets overdone, I'd better post it. You wouldn't believe how different it looks each day!!

 

If you don't recognize her, that's my Ruffy. I created this for the Smile on Saturday group, selfie with half a face theme. I know it's not Saturday.. Maybe you'll smile before Saturday. ;-)

 

I'm still trying to get Ruffy's blood sugar #'s under control. Today I'm testing her blood every 2 hours, doing her 2nd blood glucose curve. Have been giving her insulin shots 2x daily, but for the 1st time, today her sugar # was low! It's usually really high! So no insulin today. Scary stuff!! Have to keep calling the vet & they tell me what to do. OK.. back to create your own happiness...

Traditional storytelling involves a narrator transmitting a fixed story to an audience of one or more, employing various verbal tones, physical gestures, and facial expressions to evoke reactions and participation from the audience. This process is anchored in the reality that the story's basic structure never changes.

Some family commitments involving a trip upt’ North stopped me posting over the weekend, so to prevent another Flickr blockage I made sure I did photoshop editing on my return to keep things loose, so to speak. However, when I thought this LE seascape was going to be a gas, I was wrong. It turned out a bit lumpier than I expected and I had a lot of cleaning up to do. Overconfidence can lead to embarrassing mistakes. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

When adding some colour to this plain white ball light, I was struck by how a combination of them might be made to look like the planet Jupiter. That couldn't be done, but you can mentally piece them together from this arrangement to see what I mean.

 

The title comes from a very historic period in Australian rock and blues music in the late 60s and early 70s. At the time pubs were full of live music and provided new bands with an ideal launching point for their careers. Alas, no more. Pity the younger generation of musicians.

 

One of the legends of Australia blues rock was Lobby Loyde and his band the Coloured Balls.

 

Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls - Working Man's Boogie (1972) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPInO0ybDhs

 

Lobby Loyde was born John Barrie Lyde in Longreach, Queensland in 1941. His music style was heavy rhythm and blues and his influence on other Australian guitarists at the time was immense. He was also one to popularise the "Sharpie Movement". Sharps were one of the youth gangs that predominated in Melbourne (and to a lesser extent in Sydney). They were known for their hair styles and slick dressing with large boots. Unfortunately they were also known for their violent subculture (although to be fair it followed a strict code that wasn't the case when the more nihilistic, and to a large degree racist, Skinheads emerged).

 

Lobby Loyde later joined Angry Anderson and Rose Tattoo, but eventually moved into producing music. He died of lung cancer in 2007.

A focus of my last two weekend trips to the Speedway was "tying up some loose ends" of locations that I had neglected or just wasn't happy with previous efforts. One of which was the famous Switch Tender in downtown Jackson, which somehow I had zero shots of a KCS train at even for as many trips to the area that had been made over the last 5 years. That was likely due to being one of the few places that works for eastbounds in the afternoon, and my usual plans would involve following westbounds over towards Vicksburg and Louisiana after lunch.

 

Anyway, to rectify that with about a month to go before the official takeover M-SHNS rolls through town on the half-mile of trackage rights over CN's former IC mainline to New Orleans. Of course in the background to the right is the famous Art Deco Standard Life building, now being renovated into loft apartments.

This incident appeared to involve a slow moving train of empty ore cars being pulled off Dock 6 and resulted in a delicate re-railing effort as the cars were over Interstate 35.

Start of a weekend involving three gigs in three days -making a total of five in five from Wednesday through to Sunday. I set off early but wasn't able to check into my hotel until 2, so I went on a speculative wander and discovered that neither London Camera Exchange nor Jessops in Manchester sold the triumvirate of cheap Sigma primes...after checking in at the hotel, I recharged my phone and set off around 7.15 to Jimmy's, a semi-subterranean bar with a spectacular but totally over the top lighting system for the size of venue. The singer I'd come to see, Emily Capell, was on last. Faced with back-lighting, low lighting, contrasty lighting that was tricky to gauge exposure for and the humble Stylus 1 (good as it is) I converted most of my shots to black and white...

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. As the United States developed the Southwest, the Colorado River was seen as a potential source of irrigation water. An initial attempt at diverting the river for irrigation purposes occurred in the late 1890s, when land speculator William Beatty built the Alamo Canal just north of the Mexican border; the canal dipped into Mexico before running to a desolate area Beatty named the Imperial Valley. Though water from the Imperial Canal allowed for the widespread settlement of the valley, the canal proved expensive to maintain. After a catastrophic breach that caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Sea, the Southern Pacific Railroad spent $3 million in 1906–07 to stabilize the waterway, an amount it hoped in vain would be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Even after the waterway was stabilized, it proved unsatisfactory because of constant disputes with landowners on the Mexican side of the border. As the technology of electric power transmission improved, the Lower Colorado was considered for its hydroelectric-power potential. In 1902, the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles surveyed the river in the hope of building a 40-foot (12 m) rock dam which could generate 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kW). However, at the time, the limit of transmission of electric power was 80 miles (130 km), and there were few customers (mostly mines) within that limit. Edison allowed land options it held on the river to lapse—including an option for what became the site of Hoover Dam. In the following years, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), known as the Reclamation Service at the time, also considered the Lower Colorado as the site for a dam. Service chief Arthur Powell Davis proposed using dynamite to collapse the walls of Boulder Canyon, 20 miles (32 km) north of the eventual dam site, into the river. The river would carry off the smaller pieces of debris, and a dam would be built incorporating the remaining rubble. In 1922, after considering it for several years, the Reclamation Service finally rejected the proposal, citing doubts about the unproven technique and questions as to whether it would in fact save money.

The local police followed the men and saw them pull into the Owl Motel, the one with the huge neon "WHO" that has become a landmark of sorts.

  

Today's story and sketch by me #1443, as you can see involves a spacecraft full of Dimension Eleven Tourists, that somehow traveled through many Galaxies and Dimensions to eventually arrive on our Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga. This group of tourists are actually archeology students who were traveling to Snazputt, an ancient moon in dimension nineteen, to investigate a recently discovered underground city. It is believed to have been inhabited, many thousands of years ago by, a dozen Snazputtians prisoners, seventeen prison guards, three cooks, and the Warden, that escaped from a maximum security prison moon, called Verbado. Seems news reports at the time the inmates were not stopped, when they decided they hated the Verbado Potato Soup served every meal at the prison dining room. And the Warden, the guards, five lady Verbadian cooks, and inmates, commandeered a potato transporter and disappeared into the Cosmos. Hopefully these students can do some digging here, and discover some history of this Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga, until next time, Tata the Rod Blog.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the most picturesque lighthouses on the Pacific coast. This pic really doesn't do it justice. The tower stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching San Francisco Bay from the south. This headland, and hence the lighthouse, took its name from the ship Carrier Pigeon that wrecked here in 1853. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. And as an added bonus it is located right on route one so getting to it didn't involve any crazy detours!

Caitlin, Courtney & J.T....my less than perfect kids.

 

I was going through my files and found this shot of my kids that I decided to post. While there's nothing here that involves any creativity, it's a horrible setting and they're in the middle of my cul-de-sak goofing around...I wanted to post it. It's rare that I can get the three together to take any photos of them; for when they see my camera...they run away from me, not wanting pictures taken.

 

It's also very rare that you'll see them all together joking around or smiling. My three tend to fight, bicker and gang up on each other. I have sent them outside to duke it out many a time. "Come on guys, get out there and beat each other up! Go ahead, go ahead...!!!" ; but they come back inside unscathed...thinking I need to be committed. However, they drive me crazy as a mother, for I'm constantly playing a referee between them and I don't like doing so. Why can't they all just get along?? Get along dammit!

 

They've all changed in the year since I've taken this.

 

Caitlin is now 15 years old, 5'10" and will be a Sophomore in HS. She's smart, done well in school acing all honor's classes. I'm feeling the pains of raising a teenager who doesn't want to cooperate with anyone. Just looking at this shot, I realize that she now HATES Nirvana and I need to get my hands on that shirt!!!

 

Courtney is 11 and is nearly tall as her sister (2 inches taller than me). She LOVES boys! Every single conversation from her involves something about a 'cute boy' or "boys, boys, boys"..it's killing me, for she's only 11!!! She's toned up and really getting competitive with basketball now. Class leader. Full social agenda...socializing from the time she gets up until the time she goes down. Very active.

 

J.T. is 9 and super, super smart. I've caught him doing his sister's math..."No son! She has to do her own math!"...bad J.T. lol! Athletic. He's still the shorty of the family. Not for long though...with a daddy who's 6'4", he'll be tall too. I keep telling him that one day he'll be bigger than those mean big sisters of his and he has my permission to beat them up. Joking...joking... ;)

 

So...here they are. One crappy shot of them, but one capture that makes me smile...for once.

 

Parenthood has it's rewards, but there are days I wish I could jump off a cliff. You know, it's very hard being a single mom, with no one to rely on really. I hope I survive the next years, for sometimes I feel like they're going to be the death of me!

 

Salvation involves a change in the relationship between God and a person. Salvation includes God’s adoption of believers into his family, his acceptance of them as righteous and his forgiveness of their sins. It also includes personal renewal and transformation through the work of the Holy Spirit.

 

19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

 

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Eph 2:19–22.

Plains Cupid (Chilades pandava) Subspecies C.p. lanka (මීවනසරා) is a common butterfly found in wet zone upto 1000m. This swift flying species involve in mud puddling. Belongs to Lycaenidae family.

William’s Practice involves beading everyday objects. With this work, he explores the ideas around trespassing as he subtly critiques rights of land. These camping chairs – created by many hands and thousands of glass beads – are set on river rocks that acknowledge the waterways and shorelines that run through Turtle Island. He raises the questions: “Who is claiming ownership of these lands?”

Love of God is not just a feeling but always involves showing love for God by selfless service to God’s creation. The only path to salvation is by rendering selfless service to God’s creation. “Seva brings you nearer to God Through seva, you realize that all are waves of the ocean of Divinity. “When you consider work as Divine service, you can do it anywhere, at any time. It is an offering to God, an offering to the Truth. Seva is uplifting your own Self, your own people, your own world. It is embracing God’s creation”.

In 1882, another architectural contest was held, involving 189 architects. This time the winner, the architect of Frankfurt, Paul Wallot, would be able to execute his project. On June 9, 1884, the first stone was finally laid by William I. Before the construction was completed, in 1894, William died (1888, the year of the three emperors), and his successor, William II of Germany, Questioning the parliamentary institute. The original building was acclaimed especially for the construction of an original glass and steel dome, a masterpiece of the technique of the era.

The current German parliament is called the Bundestag. In today's use, the German word Reichstag is therefore mainly related to the building.

In 1992 Sir Norman Foster won another architectural contest for the reconstruction of the building. His winning project appeared very different from what was then executed. Before the start of the reconstruction, the Reichstag was "packed" by the Bulgarian-US artist Christo in 1995, in an event attracting millions of visitors.

During the reconstruction, the palace was completely emptied, removing everything except the exterior walls, including all the changes made by Baumgarten's work of the sixties. The parliamentary seats were transferred to the Reichstag in April 1999. Reconstruction is widely regarded as a success and has become a tourist attraction because the Reichstag, and especially the large glass dome that was erected on the roof in memory of the original Of 1894, provide one of the most attractive panoramas for Berlin visitors, giving a remarkable view of the city, especially at night. The dome is open to the public under reservation.

---------------------------

Nel 1882, si tenne un altro concorso architettonico, cui parteciparono 189 architetti. Questa volta il vincitore, l'architetto di Francoforte, Paul Wallot, sarebbe riuscito ad eseguire il suo progetto. Il 9 giugno 1884, la prima pietra fu finalmente posata da Guglielmo I. Prima che la costruzione venisse completata, nel 1894, Guglielmo I morì (1888, l'anno dei tre imperatori), e il suo successore, Guglielmo II di Germania, mise in discussione l'istituto del parlamento. L'edificio originale fu acclamato soprattutto per la costruzione di una originale cupola di vetro e acciaio, un capolavoro della tecnica dell'epoca.

L'attuale parlamento tedesco si chiama Bundestag. Nell'uso odierno, il termine tedesco Reichstag si riferisce quindi principalmente all'edificio.

Nel 1992 sir Norman Foster vinse un altro concorso architettonico per la ricostruzione dell'edificio. Il suo progetto vincente appariva molto diverso da quello che fu poi eseguito. Prima dell'inizio della ricostruzione, il Reichstag, nel 1995, fu "imballato" dall'artista bulgaro-statunitense Christo, in un evento che attrasse milioni di visitatori.

Durante la ricostruzione, il palazzo fu completamente svuotato, togliendo tutto ad eccezione dei muri esterni, compresi tutti i cambiamenti fatti dal lavoro di Baumgarten degli anni sessanta. I seggi del parlamento furono trasferiti al Reichstag nell'aprile 1999. La ricostruzione viene ampiamente considerata un successo ed è diventata un'attrazione turistica anche perché il Reichstag, e soprattutto la grande cupola di vetro che è stata eretta sul tetto in memoria dell'originale del 1894, forniscono una delle panoramiche più attraenti per i visitatori di Berlino, dando una vista notevole della città, specialmente di notte. La cupola è aperta al pubblico sotto prenotazione

 

Some new work, involving colour film and C41 self development.

As a subdivision of the A process of Reclamation, this short work has really got me intrigued on the concept of Anti monuments, works of human endeavour that are of such a grand scale as to be monumental and yet they are hidden from view and access restricted.

To lament the ecological trauma caused by these works is well noted, but what of recovery, what of a new normal and the future Landscape.
