Is death something new in the stock
Of events stored for mortal's sake ?
By Nature from it's early wake
Scented blooms although shorter lives may take.
Length of life is not the mark
A human holds, a golden hook
To fish his laurels or to gain
His ends in life avoiding stake,
But the way he acts before its break.
Life of man from where it comes
And how in body lingers who knows ?
And who is to pronounce
It's form or size, and its immanence
Are we able to know ? poor souls
To let you see your sun set at noon
O ! hapless would it ever be ?
For irretrievable, if it is to happen
Could you dear mum bear the pain ?
Hurled unto darkness, what more to add
From the world to depart is sad
But to part with the one, prideless to you in life
Would it be so hard indeed ?

In nature they kill to survive and the death of the duckling means life for the gull. Duckling may have been abandoned as a Magpie flew of with another that had clearly been dead a while. Death is quick and they generally get swallowed whole.
This is a series of postcards photographed by Victor Ross from Petawawa, Ontario during the late 1930's. These are postcards numbered R-22 & R-25 (the R stands for "Ross").
There is also a line of postcards "Victor Ross" made with the "V" - which stands for the Victor. Both the V's and the R's were in his folder that was produced around 1940.
Victor George Krigger/Thrasher (Ross)
1909–1966
BIRTH 3 OCT 1909 • Pembroke, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada
DEATH 10 SEP 1966 • Petawawa, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada
Victor George Krigger (Ross) was born on October 3, 1909, in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, his step-father, William Ross, was 28 and his mother, Mary, was 28. He had three sons and three daughters with Ethel May James. He died on September 10, 1966, in Petawawa, Ontario, Canada, at the age of 56.
On February 21, 1952 Police opened fire on a student demonstration in Dhaka demanding Bangla to be one of the national languages of the then Pakistan. A number of students of Dhaka University laid down their lives in that shooting and thus creating a unique event in the annals of History. Never before has any one laid down their lives for recognition of their mother tongue!
This event is observed throughout Bangladesh and in Dhaka it begins with laying of floral wreaths starting from midnight followed by early morning barefoot procession towards the Central Shaheed Minar located near Dhaka Medical College Hospital (the location where the students were shot and killed).
Its observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution in 2008 establishing as the International Year of Languages!
I found two things interesting about this photo: (i) the bolt almost mirrors the path of El Paso's Artcraft Road in the foreground below it, and (ii) the doppler radar tower of the National Weather Service station in El Paso is visible in the shot.

One of those nights when your jaw just falls and you're wishing you never have to leave such a beautiful place.
I shot this from a tarn 25 miles from the nearest trailhead, in the backcountry of the High Sierra. The unique light was caused by the combination of building clouds and smoke from nearby fires.
Thanks so much for looking -- and, as always, any suggestions to make it even better are highly welcome.

Pandorea jasminoides, commonly known as Bower of Beauty, Bower Vine or Bower Climber is an evergreen, woody climber. Found in tropical and subtropical rainforests and warm temperate areas of eastern Queensland to northern New South Wales.
A warm, sunny Spring day - a perfect gift after a long, crazy work week. Once again be reminded that the 105mm lens I love so much makes it seem like there are glowing little ones like these popping up all over. While, in reality, although there are LOTS of green shoots coming up there are still very few little pockets of flowers.
But that's just fine, with Spring finally here, it feels great to have everything move more slowly now.
I hope your weekends are filled with light and flowers and love. :)
The Tower of London was built my the Normans and dates back to 1066 with the White Tower being built in 1078. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge east of and adjacent to Jerusalem's Old City. It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes. The southern part of the Mount was the Silwan necropolis, attributed to the ancient Judean kingdom. The Mount has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years and holds approximately 150,000 graves, making it central in the tradition of Jewish cemeteries. Several key events in the life of Jesus, as related in the Gospels, took place on the Mount of Olives, and in the Acts of the Apostles it is described as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven. Because of its association with both Jesus and Mary, the Mount has been a site of Christian worship since ancient times and is today a major site of pilgrimage for Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants.
Much of the top of the hill is occupied by At-Tur, a former village and now a neighbourhood of East Jerusalem with a majority-Muslim population.
This was one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen let alone photographed. Rhys and I walked down a flooded stream in Hazelbrook yesterday and this waterfall was our last of the day. It was way of the track and we had to climb down another waterfall to get to it. What made this so unique is that there is a waterfall and the back of a waterfall in the one shot. I am using my Mums Nikon D60 at the moment as my Canon is dead. I have no filters to fit the nikon but with the water flowing so fast I could still get that long exposed look.

I was at a do at the Royal Institute of British Architects today. Luckily I remembered to take my camera, not surprisingly its a beautiful building with lots of original features. This was taken up on the top floor looking up through a skylight.
A week of black and white photos, hope you’ll enjoy them?
Here, I tried a different light, even more dramatic, well, you do have young performers in the 'wings and the STAR taking front stage, lol.
I'm in a very creative and inspired 'state' at the moment, tee hee.
I really had fun with them.
LYSIANTHUS , unfurling in front of your eyes.
Originating in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central and South America, the flower is known botanically as Eustoma grandiflorum. The common name comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning 'dissolution' and anthos, meaning 'flower' Lisianthus is also known as eustoma. Colours include white, light and dark pink, lavender and deep purple. Double and single-flower varieties exist.
Many people do not know what it is, but everyone loves it!
THANX, M, (*_*)

Denizden Çıkan Nasibim -
-----------------------
hani derler ya babam çıksa yerim
bir aşk çıksa ne ederim ?
görmedim bilmedim böyle birşey
nasılda çıktı o hınzır şey !
sanırsın deniz patlıcanı
e kırağıda çalmaz ya bunun canı !
istedi beni babamdan; alamadı amcamdan !
Ben vermem kızımı denize dedi anam .
Çıktığı gibi girdi denize olmamış kocam
bak yine yalnız kaldım bu sahilde
Beklerim belki bi baÅŸka mevsime...

I am afraid of heights.
More than anything really. Standing at the top of the cliff I felt sick to my stomach and my legs were shaking so much I could harldy stand up. But I really wanted to try and get over it and just jump. I'm so glad I did. And look how happy my friends are waiting for me =] Maybe because it was after about 20 minutes of convincing.
By the way I am screaming my head off.
Cam took this,and I edited.

The official residence of the Malaysian King, the Istana Negara, is also situated in Kuala Lumpur. Rated as an alpha world city, Kuala Lumpur is the cultural, financial and economic centre of Malaysia due to its position as the capital as well as being a primate city.

Mark of Falworth has fond memories of the annual New Year's ball at the Palace of Lorean. Before the ascension of the evil Queen Galainir, it was a tradition of the Princes of Loreos to hold a fête in anticipation of the new season.
Anyone who was anyone was to be there, dressed in their very best. The Prince was usually in excellent humor during the festivities, happily reminiscing the glorious feats of his knights and armies.
It was a time to remember great events, battles, brave deeds and glorious conquests of times past. But it was also a time to look forward to what adventures and daring exploits the future held. Little did Mark realize how much the world, and his life, would change in the next year...
My entry to my LCC Brawl vs. colobustaco.
Since Mark is in desperate straits in the depths of the shade I thought something from the past would make more sense for the category of New Year's celebration, Roawia-style!
TFVAHAGD! ;)
A gladiator of the Retiarius Style, Grom uses a trident and weighted net to fight his adversaries. Lightly armored, he relies on cunning and agility to face larger, more heavily armed foes. His weapon of choice and physical characteristics liken him to a certain Biblical character more than I really intended, but maybe that just makes him all the more fearsome.

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 165,521. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961 African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962 a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

Custom is the name of the game with this stunning Fitzgerald glider. One of Many has been seen at truck shows across the country, raising awareness and donations for autism. It was seen here leaving the 3rd Annual Outsiderz Show & Shine benefiting the National Capital Area Chapter of Autism Speaks, a cause very personal to owner Michael A. Manuel of Manuel Trucking out of Winchester, VA.
This kind of sums up how I've been feeling lately, kind of ghost like. Not in the spooky sense of the word, but more like I'm just faded and floating around in limbo, trying to find my way.
In the past few months I've felt so many ranges of feelings in regards to the direction I want my life to be going, I love my job and the work that I do, but loving a job isn't the same as feeling passionate about it. I'm passionate about creating art but i just don't know if pursuing it is the right path for me.
float on I suppose.....

The Sardinian Warbler appears like the most widespread of the southern species of genus Sylvia. Very secretive, this pretty warbler frequents the maquis scrub. This is a bulky and robust warbler.
The adult male has dark ash-grey upperparts and wing-coverts, whereas mantle and scapulars are tinged brown. The flight feathers are blackish with grey edges. The tail is blackish with whitish edges and white tip.
The underparts are greyish-white. Chin and throat are white.
The head is glossy black. The bill is blackish with paler base of lower mandible. The eyes are red-brown, surrounded by reddish eye-ring. Legs and feet are brownish.
The Sardinian Warbler frequents various types of warm habitats, from low elevation and up to 1200-1300 metres, and even up to 1800 metres in NW Africa.
This species usually occurs in dry coastal habitats, garrigue, maquis, gardens, but also in cultivated areas such as olives, almonds, orchards, citrus groves and vineyards in Mediterranean regions. It also needs some vegetation with bushes, hedgerows, pine thickets, and low dense forest with bushy undergrowth.
During winter and on passage, the Sardinian Warbler favours all scrubby habitats, semi-desert and desert oases.
The Sardinian Warbler feeds mainly on arthropods, but it also takes fruits and berries in autumn and winter, and throughout the year according to the food availabilities. This bird may consume nectar too, especially in late winter and early spring, and probably regularly.
Some birds sometimes defend part of their feeding areas against smaller species. They usually forage in scrub, on the ground and in low trees.
During the breeding season, the resident male performs flight displays accompanied by song in February. The bird rises 2-3 meters into the air and glides with raised wings. Then, it returns to the same perch or another one.
The territory is defended all year round, and the male gives advertising calls from perches. But the short typical song-flight enhances the result of this territorial song, by adding the sight of the moving bird.
The flying bird performs slow wing beats, making it more conspicuous. This type of flight occurs in relatively open areas.
The Sardinian Warbler is partially migratory. The birds of coastal regions and coasts are more sedentary than inland and northern populations. There is a post-breeding migration from late August to December. Most movements are short, but long-distance migrations probably occur too.

I got about one more week of summer before heading back to class. I am still working on that MEM52 project at which probably won't get to finish it till later this year. This summer has probably been one of my busiest summer ever, but probably one of my most productive summer since like middle school. I felt like my plans for the summer all came out successful. I will be entering my senior year this coming semester! Can't believe I am already looking at Grad School's. One of good friend left for Med School this morning, I really wish her the best as I know Med School is extremely hard and stressful.
The weather finally starts to feel like somewhat like Fall! aka my favorite season!
gonna take a pics in the coming weeks, and maybe travel a bit far if I have the time.
Have a great weekend! Doing some catchup today....seem like I am always doing catching up.

The scene of an act of sabotage during the Irish Civil War seems appropriate given world events this week! Long before the advent of drones dealing death from the sky, more mundane methods were used. Was the train destroyed in situ, or were they the victims of a mine set under the permanent way?
