Corregidor island, Cavite.During World War II, Corregidor played an important role during the invasion and liberation of the Philippines from Japanese forces. Heavily bombarded in the latter part of the war, the ruins left on the island serve as a military memorial to American, Filipino and Japanese soldiers who served or lost their lives on the island.

jarv's ears = best ears ever. i have always loved how they move on a gradient from black on top to silver at the tips; when he was a puppy he was pure black, but by a year the silver started coming in, though he didn't really have white hair till the last two years or so. hard to see when his hair was long but when it was shorn, it was so funny to see his ears perk up if he heard something he liked ("greenie?") or found worrisome (someone talking at our front door that he didn't know). lhasa apsos are bred as watch dogs not lap dogs, and he always did a great job of monitoring things; even in his sleep, he listened for unfamiliar sounds at the door. he's bitten people sent in illegally by landlord cause he was home alone and didn't know them! fierce little fatty. his ears were so soft, like plush cashmere, and he loved having them scritched just so. no one else ever found the right spot or managed the proper force for a proper scritchin, strong enough that he would lean into your hand as you scritched and made happy little pig grunts. he made the funniest sounds! my favorite sound in the world was his snoring, loud as a big fat grampa. how can i sleep without it? i kissed this ear goodbye. it was small and so soft and meant everything.
The day I took this photo was the last time I would see or fly this airplane, which was destroyed about 17 months later on October 4, 2007. This is at Holbrook, Arizona.
On or about October 1 while I was in California during my days off one evening, my employer-issued cell phone rang. Caller ID indicated an unfamiliar area code, and indeed, it was a call I didn't have any reason to expect. The caller identified himself as the chief pilot or director of operations for some air service, both names I soon forgot.
The caller was asking for someone else, a name I didn't know. I said he must have the wrong number. But unlike many people, it seems, who receive a wrong number call, I didn't immediately disconnect; I attempted to resolve the problem by saying my number to the caller. The caller confirmed he had the right number and asked if I was a pilot. I said yes. Then he mentioned that the pilot he was calling about a job opening worked for XXX. I said that I work for the same company, or rather, the same parent company and did work for XXX at one time, but now for a different subsidiary, YYY. The caller asked–since he had me on the line–if I might be interested in flying a Pilatus PC-12 on the northeast coast. I said maybe the northwest... So that basically ended the call. The caller didn't make it clear to me how he got my number other than to say something to the effect that mine was the number on whatever piece of paper he was looking at. Neither of us understood why my number was listed.
October 5, still off in California, just as I was sitting down to dinner with my sister, her boyfriend and his two young sons, I received a call from the lead pilot in Hawaii informing me that XXX had a fatal accident in Colorado the night before, pretty much shattering my relaxed state of mind. It was the company's first. A King Air* impacted a mountainside while descending for the San Luis Valley town of Alamosa, inbound from Chinle, Arizona, 195 nautical miles to the west-southwest. I learned the name of the pilot about a day later. Not familiar– someone hired long after I went to Hawaii. But the name... wasn't that the name mentioned by the semi-wrong-call caller earlier that week? Maybe. I wasn't sure. But it seemed so. That thought would nag me for about two weeks...
...until this morning. My phone rang, and again, the caller ID showed a strange area code. I answered. A guy with a southern accent asked for the accident pilot's name, telling me he was with a flying service in east Texas. This time the caller could explain how he got my number. He told me he called what was my previous cell phone number, the one listed on this pilot's résumé– the number to the cellphone I mailed back to headquarters six months ago or longer. Immediately following this conversation I called the number, and indeed, the outgoing voicemail message was my voice informing the caller of my name and to contact me at my new number. My old phone had been assigned to the would-be accident pilot after he was hired in August, about two months ago. No one had bothered to check or change my voicemail outgoing message, as I expected it would be upon reassignment. Obviously, he never checked it. Could it be that nobody informed this pilot that someone else's outgoing message was attached to his phone number– or that he had never been left a perplexed voicemail by a familiar caller (an XXX employee, perhaps?) in the two months prior to the accident? I guess not. It seems fairly obvious now that I should have realized three weeks ago that this pilot had been issued my first phone, but I never would have assumed that my my outgoing message would never be changed.
Maybe, had the pilot changed the outgoing message so that the first caller would have left a voicemail instead of calling me, things may have turned out different. It's very unlikely he would have walked off this job for another with just a couple days notice–virtually no notice, really. But, one can never know if the simple, mundane act of changing a voicemail outgoing message could have made all the difference in the world...
And that is the story of my once-upon-a-time company-issued LG cellphone, perhaps either still broken upon that mountainside or in an investigation facility haz-mat bin full of damaged loose items awaiting final disposition.

*this airplane, the first King Air I had ever piloted, it having been the one I flew as part of my interview for the job on September 13, 2005. I flew it just a few times afterward, having accumulated the great majority of my time on the job in two other airplanes, both of which are now in Hawaii. This was also the last King Air I piloted before leaving for Hawaii. I did my 6-month instrument proficiency check in it on May 11, 2006. Five days later I'd be in Hilo. I had flown my own airplane, the Luscombe, from Window Rock, Arizona to the airport at Holbrook for hangar storage before leaving for Hawaii. I arranged with the company check airman to meet me shortly thereafter with the airplane to be used for the check flight, after which he'd drop me at Kayenta where I had a vehicle parked, which I needed to move before going to Hawaii. So, I took the opportunity at Holbrook to photograph it landing.
Finished the last set yesterday and I'm really happy with how the three of them turned out :3
Since some other things came up and I wanted to buy a new laptop becouse this one is just uugh... I've decided to put them up on Etsy tomorrow. I just cant afford printing some cards this month so yeah, I'll have to postpone my plans and then I might as well put these three sets up on Etsy right away. I'm also probably going to sew a few pairs of fuzzy boots too but we'll see about that....and now that I think about it, maybe I should try sewing for my LTF. I'm honestly a bit scared to sew for anything bigger than pukifees but I should try it at least n_n'
I really hope my camera wont fail on me tomorrow. Let it be a nice day for photos! :D
The last of the free trains is seen as afternoon train #4. Seen here arriving and departing San Rafael, CA., this train will waste no time getting back to Sonoma Airport today.

During one summer morning, as part of a seascape photography workshop with Brent Pearson, myself and two other photographers decided to make the long trek to the north end of Turimetta Beach so that we could explore different opportunities there, away from the familiar southern end.
I had never visited the northern end of Turimetta before, and found this lone rock appealing under the stunning sunrise that was unfolding.

St Edburga's at Leigh was easily my favourite church of the day, and despite parts of the building being much restored there's enough of interest within for this not to matter. Entry is through an ancient timber porch at the base of the west tower.
The somewhat gloomy nave leads into the contrastingly light chancel, which is dominated by four impressive post Reformation monuments to members of the Colles and Devereux families respectively. The later ones are particularly good, one with recumbent figures under a fine canopy, with a mural monument above (to high to appreciate properly) with a kneeling couple flanking a desk with a strangely stuck-on looking daughter between them (surely an afterthought).
In the south aisle is the church's oldest treasure, a full length early Norman figure of Christ blessing which was in an external niche on the north side until 1970 (where it was photographed for Pevsner). Difficult to fully appreciate in the gloom, especially set between two lancet windows, but a rare and unusually well preserved piece. Nearby are some medieval tiles and a much restored 15th century screen. But a real bonus for me was one of Tom Denny's latest windows, installed in summer 2012 and full of interesting details in his hallmark collage of rich colour.
This church seems to be kept open and welcoming for visitors, and a visit here will certainly be rewarded.

Hurrah, Lorna had her very last IV Herceptin treatment today for her breast cancer. After 22 months of treatment it's all done, save for a single tablet each day.
I went and took some photographs for her blog here
