What is there to say? Trump's election as President of the United States is a triumph of stupidity over reason, ignorance or knowledge, lies over facts, decency over base passion, fear over peace, and bigotry over tolerance. The people who voted for this excuse for a man are beyond contempt. This is my response.

This is the largest of the British Crane flies. It has a leg span of 100mm, i.e. 4 inches and it has quite distinctive, heavily patterned wings.
As with several other crane flies, dragonflies, midges and mosquitos it's development cycle includes an aquatic phase. The female lays her eggs in the damp mossy fringes of ponds, ditches and streams. On hatching, the larvae take to an aquatic existence just below the water surface, before continuing their development in submerged leaf litter.
In order to survive below water, the various species of aquatic insect larvae have developed their own unique breathing apparatus, ranging from gills to snorkel tubes.

This is a Snowy Owl in FLORIDA...believe it or not!
The Snowy Owl invasion has been really spread out this year, with northern states posting lots of these beauties. This youngster may have taken a wrong turn or was overly ambitious, but somehow found itself taking its winter vacation in Jacksonville Florida.
Florida only has three recorded sightings of one of these magnificent owls. So it was such a rare, special treat to end 2013 when I was fortunate enough to go and witness this beauty on New Year's Eve day. A dream come true without having to bear negative degrees and tons of snow. What a special, unique experience that I will never forget!
This is an article about this special Snowy to give a perspective on how rare it is to have one this far south:
ameliaislandliving.com/fernandinabeach/2013/12/rare-sight...
This link gives good information about Snowy Owls and their behavior.
I hope this youngster stays strong, can feed plenty and make its journey back to the Arctic where it belongs.
This is a 1880-1887 era Disston tenon saw no 4 with a 10 inch saw plate filed RIP at 14 PPI or 13 TPI. The saw is in good order showing remnants of the blueing on the tapered back and displaying signs of use on both handle and plate, yet maintaining the dignity bestowed on a 125 year old hand saw. The etch is long gone, there isn't as much as a shadow of it, but the saw has been kept in good order. The saw plate displays no pitting and the handle was well preserved with the exception of a scuff inside the lower horn. I have repaired the damage with a wedge cut from a broken Disston no 12 handle. The saw was recently reconfigured from crosscut to RIP with no set. It's a joy to use, feeling both light and well balanced. Handle has been cleaned of dirt and muck, still trying to maintain the look of a well used tenon saw. Saw plate has been cleaned with window cleaner and fine grit sandpaper as well as steel wool and then polished with fine steel wool and Autosol paste.
This is a 26 inch Disston D8 with the USA medallion, which safely places the manufacturing period around WW II.The handle is still apple, but the palm grip in the handle is already slightly thinner.
This one has only a shadow of an etch remaining but the plate is in good shape with only very small pockets of shallow pitting. The configuration was a poorly filed crosscut at 4 TPI which I felt was tad too heavy for crosscutting, so I ave refiled it to RIP, still keeping the tooth spacing the same.
This one will rip very quickly in softer woods, but requires a strong man if intended for seasoned hardwood.
Crete is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, is located about 100 km south of the Peloponnese. Crete was the center of Europe's first advanced civilization, the Minoans, from 3000 to 1400 BC. The Minoan civilization was overrun by the Mycenaean civilization from mainland Greece. Crete was later ruled by Rome, then successively by the Byzantine Empire, Andalusian Arabs, the Byzantine Empire again, the Venetian Republic, and the Ottoman Empire. In 1898 Crete, whose people had for some time wanted to join the Greek state, achieved independence from the Ottomans, formally becoming the Cretan State. Crete became part of Greece in December 1913.
Heraklion is the largest city and the administrative capital of the island of Crete. With a municipal population of about 180.000 it is the fourth largest city in Greece. The greater area of Heraklion has been continuously inhabited since at least 7000 BCE, making it one of the oldest inhabited regions in Europe. As a major center of the Minoan civilization it often considered Europe's oldest city.
The Historical Museum of Crete (HMC) was founded by the Society of Cretan Historical Studies, in 1953. The HMC now offers a composite view of Cretan history and art from the early Christian centuries to the 20th century.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10- to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques.
There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished. The so-called Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber are higher up within the pyramid structure. The main part of the Giza complex is a set of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.
Khufu's son, Pharaoh Khafre, built the second pyramid at Giza, circa 2520 B.C. His necropolis also included the Sphinx, a mysterious limestone monument with the body of a lion and a pharaoh's head. The Sphinx may stand sentinel for the pharaoh's entire tomb complex.
The third of the Giza Pyramids is considerably smaller than the first two. Built by Pharaoh Menkaure circa 2490 B.C., it featured a much more complex mortuary temple.
A sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. In Greek tradition, it has the head of a human, the haunches of a lion, and sometimes the wings of a bird. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless.
Facing directly from West to East, The Great Sphinx stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the Pharaoh Khafre.

Zoya, who is now 9 weeks old, is the zoo's gorgeous, rare Amur Tiger cub. She is very lively now, acting very much like a toddler on four legs and with puppy teeth! She receives a lot of stimulating interaction that helps to hone her natural instincts of stalking and hunting, all of which she is practicing without realizing while she plays! She is very rambunctious and getting bolder every day-I am very proud of her developmentally growing stronger every day!
Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), one of 5 remaining subspecies of tiger. The Amur tiger (formally known as Siberian) has the longest pelage (coat) of any of the other subspecies due to the cold climate that they live in. All tigers have four canines, and they only ever turn 'man-hunter' when they are old or sick and more than two of the canines are broken. The Amur tigers are the largest of all tigers, weighing in at as much as 700 pounds-though 400-600 is more common.

Located in Garysburg, Northampton County, North Carolina, the Garysburg United Methodist Church and Cemetery is in a quiet, attractive location, set back a distance from the street. The serenity is amplified by the shade trees to the rear and east side of the building. Church tradition dates the church from 1853, but the National Register plaque gives the construction date as 1849. The U. S. Geological Survey map (Weldon, NC, 1974) gives the name as Chapel Grove Church. It appears on Flickr's map with this name. Stylistically the rectangular structure is a Greek Revival temple form, built on 18th century patterns of New England churches. This form appears on numerous Christmas cards and has come to typify the house of worship at Christmas time.
The church in Garysburg replaced Moore’s Chapel (Moore's Meeting House) between Garysburg and the county seat of Jackson. Land for the building was given by Roderick B. Gary, a prominent Garysburg citizen who served 13 terms in the North Carolina General Assembly. His gift was unusual, for he was not a member of the congregation. "Footprints in Northampton" states the building in 1862 served as a hospital during the Civil War. In 1905 the church underwent many changes: slave galleries were removed and it's thought the steeple was added then. In addition, a coffered patterned was installed in the interior. More repairs were instituted in 1949 and also in 1954 after damage caused by Hurricane Hazel. The stained-glass windows date from the 1954 repairs when they replaced clear-paned windows.
The weatherboarded 1-story church has a front pedimented gable and a prominent bell tower with a louvered bell area built on a weatherboard base; the tower is capped by a shingled spire with flared eaves. Topping the spire is a wooden cross. The main entrance is in a vestibule which projects from the front gable. The vestibule roof is also a gable with returns. An ornamental sawnwork is prominent above the pointed arch entry which consists of a double-leaf door and a stained-glass window above. Here also is found the National Register plaque. The windows as noted earlier were changed to stained glass with Gothic pointed arches. Cornerposts are understated with simple narrow pilasters with molded capitals.
The Garysburg United Methodist Church and Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 20, 1985 with identifying number 85001350. The descriptive nomination form is online at files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/NP0008.pdf
Additional information is found in the bicentennial volume Footprints in Northampton: 1741-1776-1976 issued by the Northampton County Bicentennial Committee in 1976.

The cheetah is a large feline inhabiting most of Africa and parts of Iran. The cheetah is a unique felid, with its closest living relatives being the puma and jaguarondi.
The cheetah is still considered by some to be the smallest of the big cats. It is often mistaken for the leopard, but the cheetah has distinguishing features, such as the tear-streak lines that run from its eyes to its mouth, and the thinner body frame of the cheetah is also very different from that of the leopard.
This cat is notable for being only one of three felids with only semi-retractable claws, offering extra grip in its high-speed pursuits. Cheetahs are the fastest of land mammals, are peaceable except at breeding time. They hunt alone and don’t have any of the group behaviors that lions do.
A cheetah cannot roar, it uses a high-pitched barking called chirping. Growling is often accompanied by hissing and spitting and is exhibited if the cheetah is annoyed, or when faced with danger. Purring as with most cats, is when the cheetah is content, usually between cubs and their mothers.
Cheetahs are included on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list of vulnerable species (African subspecies threatened, Asiatic subspecies in critical situation) as well as on the US Endangered Species Act: threatened species

This is one of the many tugboats in service at the canal.
The Pacific Ocean is on the west side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east side of the Americas. However, Panama, located in the Central America isthmus, is a long and narrow country with its long axis running from west to east. Our transit of the Panama Canal is from the Pacific Ocean in the south, and goes northwest to the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) in the north.
France began work on the canal in 1881, but had to stop because of engineering problems and high mortality due to disease. The United States took over the project in 1904, and took a decade to complete the canal, which was officially opened on August 15, 1914. The Panama Canal greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan.
The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government in 1999, and is now managed and operated by the Panama Canal Authority, a Panamanian government agency.
Melba is a 6-year-old redbone coonhound mix who weighs about 100 pounds. She would love an active owner who would take her for lots of walks to help her lose the extra weight! She does well on the leash and likes walks.
Melba would do best in a home without kids under 12, and she should meet any dogs in the household before being adopted. She would love to go home with her buddy Finley, who is also at Lollypop Farm.
Melba is eligible for our Seniors-for-Seniors program, so adopters age 60 and older can take her home free of charge!

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Newtown, Isle of Wight.
The Town Hall is the only remaining evidence to the one-time importance of Newtown. Built of brick with stone dressings, it stands on the foundations of an earlier building. It was built and paid for by public subscription in around 1699. The architect is unknown but various features such as the round headed windows, the stone dressings and the interior panelling point to such a date. The stone walls and windows of the basement formed part of the previous building, while the Gothick fenestration and four columned portico on the North front were probably added around the end of the l8th century. One of the last acts of the old corporation before it was dissolved was a restoration of the Town Hall in 1813, at a cost of £443.
After the dissolution of the council, it became a school, then a house and then an ivy clad ruin. In the 1930's a group called Ferguson's Gang, a group of anonymous individuals with names such as Bill Stickers, Shot Biddy and Sister Agatha, who were dedicated to halting sprawling development and preserving England's heritage puchased it (for £5) and an adjoining field (for £100). It was then restored at an estimated cost of £1000 and handed over to the National Trust.
This is the Temple of Kom Ombo, located on the banks of the Nile River at the town of Kom Ombo in Upper Egypt. Constructed during the Ptolemaic Dynasty between 180 BC (under Ptolemy VI Philometor) and 47 BC (under Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator), the temple is of a unique “double” design for two sets of gods, with half of the structure being dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, who was a deity that represented fertility and the creation of the world, along with the more minor gods Hathor and Khonsu. The other half of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris, along with the gods Tasenetnofret and Panebtawy. The temple has two sets of courtyards, hallways, sanctuaries, and rooms that are parallel to one another. The temple complex also contains a unique keyhole-shaped nilometer, used to measure the depth of the Nile River, an a relief featuring an ancient calendar and the Egyptian system of measuring time. The temple was abandoned around the time that the Romans enforced the worship of Christianity during the 4th Century AD, with the temple being defaced by Christians whom used the structure as a church, with parts of the complex collapsing due to the Nile River, earthquakes, and builders using its stones for new construction projects nearby. The ruin was cleared of debris and restored under Jacques de Morgan in 1893.

Ankarana National Reserve, near Antsiranana, northern Madagascar.
Ankarana Special Reserve is a protected area in northern Madagascar created in 1956. It is a small, partially vegetated plateau composed of 150-million-year-old middle Jurassic limestone. With an average annual rainfall of about 2,000 millimetres (79 in), the underlying rocks have been eroded to produce caves and feed subterranean rivers - a karst topography. The rugged relief and the dense vegetation have helped protect the region from human intrusion and exploitation.
The plateau slopes gently to the east, but on the west it ends abruptly in the "Wall of Ankarana", a sheer cliff that extends 25 kilometres (16 miles) north to south, and rises up to 280 metres (920 ft). To the south, the limestone mass breaks up into separate spires known as tower karst. In the centre of the plateau, seismic activity and eons of rainfall have eroded the limestone, forming deep gorges and ribbons of flowstone. In places where the calcific upper layers have been completely eroded, the harder base rock has been etched into channels and ridges known in Malagasy as tsingy meaning 'where one cannot walk barefoot'. The area is littered with basalt boulders, and basalt has also flowed deep into the canyons that dissect the massif.
This is in the area known as the Small Tsingy.

Well, here is Luka, my latest custom and she's a keeper for me. What I've been up to? Well, things are a bit crazy here in our new environment. We moved to the wonderful state of Oregon and have settled in a Portland suburb for the moment. My older 2 girls are in school. My kindergartner only is in school for a "half" day which is only 2 1/2 hours so my day is chopped up a lot. My youngest is almost 3 and is on the Autism spectrum so unfortunately, that means dolly time gets put on the back burner and customizing and creating is in the back seat and my first priority is "recovery" for my little guy. But nonetheless, I'm determined to carve out time for myself even if it means hiring a babysitter to hang out with the kiddos while I get some me time. Plus, I need to make extra cash for supplements and other bio-medical treatments so perhaps I'll eventually be able to kill two birds and create and earn enough for these things. Luka is my little pet that reminds me to smile and enjoy the little things. My days are measured by if my little guy does something new, any hint that he is progressing. It's amazing how tiny achievements like him doing the "more" sign or initiating some kind of play will send me over the moon. Some days are better than others. We may take two steps forward and one step back. Sorry for all the cliche's but there you go. That's our life right now. The hubby works nights now and so 3 to 4 days a week it's all on me to take care of the kids. Mind you, I'm not much of a cook. That was Pete's job so I've had to try and do more than boxed mac n cheese. Did I mention I hate cooking? If only Blythes could cook.
This is a photograph from the Multyfarnham 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in the village of Multyfarnham, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 28th February 2016 at 12:00. The race started and finished on the "Lake Road" outside Multyfarnham Village. The Lake Road brings runners initially uphill for about 1.5KM and then turning left/west towards Lough Derravaragh (best known for its connection with the Irish legend of the Children of Lír) before running back downhill for the final 1KM to the finish close to the community centre at the GAA club. Refreshments, showers and prize giving were provided at the GAA club. There was over 100 participants in the race which was well supported by local runners and the community.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the finish of the race. They are available here on Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157665017690792]

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Everything Is Wondrous is the story of two friends and a mix tape. It’s a true story, told in the words of the two people involved.
Jo Milne, from Gateshead, has Usher syndrome, a condition that affects both hearing and vision: she was born profoundly deaf and her sight is progressively getting worse. However, in 2014 cochlear implant surgery gave her the chance of hearing for the first time. In anticipation of a successful operation, she asked her friend Tremayne Crossley to make her a mix tape featuring a song from every year of her life, which would be the first music that she would ever hear.
The play reminds us how important and immediate music can be in our lives, though we often take it for granted. It tells of their friendship, how Tremayne made his choices and how Jo is catching up with forty years of musical sounds. Inspired by Julia's blog.

Levertraan is een dierlijke olie, gewonnen uit de lever van haai, kabeljauw en andere kabeljauwachtige vissoorten. Het is een vette olie en ze bevat jodium, fosfor, en vitamine A en D en is tevens één van de producten met het hoogste gehalte aan omega-3 vetzuren.
Omdat levertraan vitaminerijk is, werd het vroeger vaak gebruikt als voedingssupplement voor jonge kinderen. Vanwege de nogal onaantrekkelijke smaak wordt levertraan meestal in capsules ingenomen. Tegenwoordig worden ook smaakstoffen van munt of citrusvruchten toegevoegd.
Nadat deze vitamines in het midden van de twintigste eeuw chemisch konden worden geïsoleerd en aan melk en margarine toegevoegd, is het nemen van levertraan echter sterk verminderd. Tevens raakte levertraan in de jaren zeventig uit de gratie omdat men dacht dat het uit de beschermde walvis werd gewonnen. Verreweg de meeste levertraan werd echter uit kabeljauw gehaald. Levertraan is ook gebruikt als geneesmiddel tegen rachitis, een ziekte die het gevolg is van een tekort aan vitamine D.

Fountain Paintpots is located in the Fountain Group of Yellowstone's Lower Geyser Basin. Paintpots, or mudpots, are hot pools of thin to thick muddy material consisting of clay-sized grains of clay minerals mixed with varying amounts of water. Rising gases result in bursting bubbles of mud at the surface. The clay forms by chemical weathering of rhyolite lava, a common lithology in the Yellowstone Hotspot area. When rising hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), exsolved from subsurface magma, reaches the top of the water table, oxidation occurs and sulfuric acid forms (H2SO4). The sulfuric acid reacts with the rhyolite, forming various clay minerals. Mudpots in Yellowstone tend to have thin mud in boreal spring and early summer and boiling-type bubbles appear at the surface. In boreal late summer and autumn, the mud is thick, which alters the bubble surfacing and bubble bursting behavior of rising gases. Fountain Paintpots has various delicate shades of pinks, grays, yellows, and orangish-browns. The non-gray colors are from a variety of disseminated iron oxide species.
