Fort Necessity
The Battle of the Great Meadows during the French and Indian War took place during the summer of 1754 and was the only surrender for George Washington in his career, winter conditions here would have made it more difficult.
Opportunities to get out and make new pictures are, of necessity, limited during the COVID-19 outbreak so, from 1st April 2020, I've been hunting through my archives to find images taken on the same date in previous years. I've tried to choose eight each day. They've mostly not been published here before and potentially cover the period 1980-2021. I hope you enjoy them.

NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION, RIGHT?
Actually, not in the case of the lightbulb. Thomas Alva Edison had an inexplicable, unyielding obsession over heirloom tulip bulbs and onions. Indeed, so much so, that his first incandescent lightbulb was fashioned after a large red onion. Once prototyped, Edison could be seen sitting there in his Menlo Park laboratory for hours, LOOKING THROUGH A GLASS ONION.
I chose this title because we need to respect just how essential bees are to our everyday life - and recognize the dangers of their prominent reduction in numbers. Bees are necessities. Which also makes me think of a great Jungle Book song.....
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the trees
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at them fancy ants
And then maybe, well, try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you.

"And in the end, the love you take, is equal
to the love you make" ---Paul McCartney
Necessity of all of us is to have some land, what makes interesting composition in the landscape around us. At some places are these edges static for centuries and on the other hand exist edges of our property, which are different by each one coming generation. We are coming with different priorities for our lifes, somebody wants more and somebody who's modest want less, this apply in the presence of people, regions and states under the geopolitical control in small, or big scales.
Without these stores staying open late into the night, our lives would be miserable. In a busy metro like NYC it seems like almost all the stores need to be open 24/7. Life here doesn't go by the 9-to-5 schedule. Get on a train at 3 in the morning and you still see people either returning home from work or going to work.

"Rifle with mirror-sight"
Also known as a Spiegelkolbe, the „Spiegel-Visier“ was a small periscope attached to a rifle-stock. The apparatus was then fitted to the stock of a regular Gewehr 98 which allowed the user to aim and fire the rifle from below the parapet as we can see here.
A more familiar version of the sight was invented in May 1915 during the Gallipoli campaign by an Australian soldier, Lance Corporal William Beech.
Usually I drive past sightings in Yellowstone when there's a group of "watchers" with binoculars and scopes. I don't know what made me stop for this one but I ran into someone I knew there and was told they had just seen a grizzly and were waiting for her to come back.
Next thing I knew....something came over the ridge and it was NOT a bear. A wolf started walking down the hill and reaches the flats in front of me while I struggled to grab my camera and take a couple of shots. I had time for two frames before the Black Lamar Female walked behind the bushes and I lost sight of her. Both photos are blurry black blobs. D@#m.
Not even a minute later, this beautiful bear appeared right in front of me. She had no interest in us and was busy eating clovers. This was the bear the others had seen and misidentified as a Grizzly.
A landscape eye-sore or a necessity? Much of our world is driven by power and electricity - our homes, our businesses and our personal lives, with all the technology we rely on on a daily basis (computers, TV's, cell phones, iPhones, gaming devices, etc.). But... what would the world be like without all this? I have been to faraway places that don't rely on electricity and they really do get by perfectly fine and seem incredibly happy.
Could YOU live for a day, a week, a month without the technology you're attached to? Would life be harder or easier? I would like to give it a try to see how long I could go. My camera doesn't count though, right?... it runs on batteries. :-)

We're here, and although we were always told not to play with our food, today we throw caution to the wind!
These are our "bear" necessities.... har har har. The theme this week was necessities... Ironically we both chose bears, and hers is sitting on a book as well :)
