turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!
but my boyfriend says he still loves me anyway.
(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)
Note that the name at the bow is "USAT Pocahontas". Many of the troopships were marked "USS".
This was the German ship Prinzess Irene before she was taken over by the United States.
Found image.

Somthing Questioned By Many
Note from Mike Patnode Oct 2020-2021
Why I believe God permits suffering: John 15:13, John 3:16
Jesus sufferd and died for us to receive eternal life with him. Revelation 21:4
Is My Suffering Meaningless? No! God does not cause us to suffer. James 1:13
I don’t know any one that enjoys suffering. But it truly has eternal value. If and only if we give it to Jesus. The Passion of Jesus on the cross. Made suffering redemptive salvific love. He conquers sin by His obedience unto death. Jesus invites us to share in His Passion. This gives meaning to our suffering. It is no longer useless and meaningless. We now can have hope in our suffering as we can offer up our sufferings in union with Him. Our suffering can become part of Christ’s work. Through my own cross. Jesus invites us to join Him in His sacrifice of love. Powerful if we can understand we are united to Christ in His suffering for the redemption of people all over the world. We are living the Eucharist. Divine suffering is the currency of Jesus Christ our Lord. Suffering can help perches souls or help souls get to heaven. We can take part in that if we offer up our sufferings to Jesus’s cross.
1 Peter 4:13. Romans 8:17. 1 Peter 2:21. Luke 6:22,23. Romans 8:17. 2 Corinthians 1:7.
Let us not waste our suffering when it can help in saving souls with Jesus. All our suffering in sickness, disease and sacrifice’s should be offerd to the Lord’s cross. The elderly can offer up so much to the cross. We can help with conversion, Faith and Salvation from our sufferings. Just imagen even helping save one soul. Colossians 1:24, Luke 15:7 and Luke 15:10.
God allows sin, suffering and death in this world. That we may know that God, Jesus and Holy Spirit is greater then every sin, suffering and death. Look to the Cross of Christ to see this. In Jesus I trust.
Please look up Bible verses to help understand how this works. Pray often for others to come to salvation. Knowing we can only fully change our self for the better. Matthew 7:3, John 7:24, Matthew 7:12
Why dose God let suffering happen? To help us to convert to following him. So we will see a need for Him. That we may rely on Him. It’s much like a spaking from a parent. To teach us something we need to know. It is out of love for us. In the hope we repent of our sin’s. That we might choose to follow Jesus.
The writings of St. Faustina Kowalska.
“If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of the Holy communion, and the other is suffering”. Her diary, entry 1804.
I hope this will help some people think differently about our suffering in this life.
This is not a recent photo. However it shows me taking notes - something I do compulsively.
When asked what do you do in your "spare" time (ha ha ha) - or - What are your hobbies? One of my first answers has been "Writing!"
I don't claim to be a great writer. But the contemplation and act of writing does bring me joy. I've volumes to prove it.
In fact, if you were to ask "What makes you happy?" One answer for sure would be "A good supply of smooth blank paper, a pen I love, and four hours of guaranteed uninterrupted time." Heaven!
Some friends and followers are creative and accomplished writers. You can tell who they are because their comments are unique and meaningful.
Though all comments are appreciated - some are timeless treasures. Perhaps they will make an interesting book project.
Some comments are poetry, some are advice, some are unique points of view or twists on the obvious, and some are puns that make me laugh even thinking about them.
Some of you have sent me your personal writing privately to enjoy - what a treat!
Thank you all.
Though no promise of quality can be made, I'll do my best to respond in kind.
"There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy."
Ralph H. Blum
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the smaller parts of life that I end up taking for granted the things that I have, the things that make me happy, the things that happen everyday that put a smile on my face.
I'm grateful that my bedroom window overlooks the Rocky Mountains, for a job that I enjoy going to everyday, for the inspiration that I get from the world around me. Most of all I'm grateful for the freedom I have to wake up and live my life exactly as I want to.

Explore is nice. It is. But please don't leave a comment here just so I can come check out your photos or your sparkly-icon club. If you like this picture, thank you. If you're just self-promoting, no thank you.
For the 30-Day Challenge — June 2011
Day Six: From a Low Angle
I think people are interpreting this challenge differently, ignoring the "angle" part; that is, they are shooting things that are low to the ground, but their cameras are pointed at it from above. Or they're just shooting low things. My interpretation is that you put your camera down low and angle it up a little. Hence the power lines in the background. OK, whatever.
BTW, I titled this because the heads look like little notes on the power-line musical staff.
Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's monumental sculpture Bottle of Notes soars nearly thirty-five feet and is the first public sculpture in the United Kingdom by these two internationally renowned artists.
Bottle of Notes is inspired by the history of Captain Cook, born in Middlesbrough featuring words from his logs as well as poetry built from tempered-steel echoing Middlesbrough's industrial heritage and continuing the legacy of the town's Ironmasters.

You have to be a little careful wearing a short pleated skirt on a windy day (is that a wolf whistle I hear?). It does feel wonderful when the wind blows one's skirt up. I'm a bit of a joker, I hope this gives you a little smile.
First of the Class 254 High Speed Trains, 254001, with power car E43057 leading, opens up as it departs Doncaster for London King's Cross on 8th June 1979.
HSTs had been on the East Coast Main Line for just under a year and still provided some fascination for spotters, including this one here, although like me, he may have begun to realise the mighty Deltics' days were now numbered.
The power car is in original condition and has yet to receive the rooftop smoke deflectors which were eventually fitted to the class.

Don't let the only picture you take of an event be directly into the sun, or you may have to resort to tricks like this. Monson Bike Show and Swap Meet.
The result of an experiment one night.
More musical stuff over here. (You can also go buy this image, if you want).
Just a thank-you note after my daughter had left!
Battered table, battered chair, and handwritten note on paper torn from a memo-pad!
All very simple!
Well – I have taken note of the advice coming my friends and fans here on Flickr, and have decided to continue practicing my chosen profession as an ultra-exclusive prostitute and call girl. To see me carrying on in the face of sudden bereavement is what I believe my late husband would have wanted.
There has certainly been no shortage of prospective clients! The extreme notoriety surrounding my world-famous husband’s unexplained death, the suspicions the police still have regarding my complicity in the matter, and my very controversial decision to return to work so soon after becoming a widow have inflamed public passions about me beyond all previous bounds!
The Duke of Flanders and Picardy, for example, was on my private cellphone last night. “I must have you, Lady Rebecca… I must have you, whatever the cost!!! To experience the embrace of a woman such as you – a woman so hard-hearted that she returns to the life of a high-class tart less than two weeks after her husband’s tragic death… This is a harlot whose cold and ruthless touch I must experience! This is a scarlet woman I must enjoy, if only to understand the processes of life – and the mind of Woman itself!!!” BTW, I accepted the Duke as a client, but charged him excessively as punishment for requiring me to listen to his pompous and pretentious platitudes - which sounded only slightly better in his native French.
It seems that the submerged wreckage of my husband’s private jet has now been spotted, in shallow water somewhere off the coast near Toulon. Apparently, the plane was banking over the sea shortly after take-off, before turning east to head for Monte Carlo. Divers will be going down shortly to recover the bodies of the dead, as well as the famous “black box” flight recorder. Meanwhile, Duane Rollo Renaud of Montreal’s ‘Radar’ Private Investigations is meeting me for coffee tomorrow at the famous Yreka Bakery on Monte Carlo’s harbour waterfront – just opposite the point where the Formula One cars wiggle right-left-left-right through the Swimming Pool Complex in the Monaco Grand Prix. We shall see what we shall see!
Oh… I almost forgot! Blue Weasel Productions have invited me to fly over and shoot a bunch of outrageous XXXXX material in their Arizona studios. Max Kink himself would like to produce a series of scenes and a subsequent DVD entitled “Lady Rebecca D’or Baleine – the world’s most extreme widow!!!” If I accept this offer, it will mean even more controversial publicity.
To quote The Clash: should I stay or should I go? I know that my late husband always wanted to watch me performing for Blue Weasel’s infamous cameras…
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to all my Friends and Fans!
