Common Tern
We got to see lots of this yesterday. The really strange thing, none of the males actually gave the offerings to the mates or possible mates.
Not big enough or too big????

RenownTravel: On Yaowarat Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown is the colorful Kuan Yim shrine of the Thian Fa Foundation. The shrines’ walls are adorned with colorful murals. Inside is a small golden image of Guanyin.
The shrine is dedicated to Guanyin, in Thailand also known as the Bodhisattva Phra Avalokitesuan. The Guanyin images dates to the 12th century. Carved from teak wood in the Tang dynasty art style, it is painted in gold color. With her right hand Guanyin makes the Varada mudra, the gesture of charity or making offerings. The image was brought over from China and enshrined in 1958.
The Thian Fa Foundation was established in 1902 by Chinese immigrants who settled in Bangkok. Its goal is to provide free medical care to those in need. Both traditional Chinese and modern treatments are performed at the foundation’s hospital next to the shrine.
Nature's Offering is actually a remake of a picture I made about two years ago: Lord of Winter.

However, I was never really happy with it. But this one? Well "Nature's Offering" is more of the vibe I was aiming for. Add in "Frozen Tides" (link below), the feel was complete!
Worthy of note is the pose I'm using: Mirror, Mirror from Be My Mannequin? Pose Store. The pose comes with a special mirror prop (not shown in picture) and I adjusted the head angle slightly.
Go DEMO it for yourself in the main store or check it out on Marketplace!
Additionally, click for HD to see the brand new stunning, icy Avalanche eyes from Pariah which is coincidentally right next door to Be My Mannequin?! Also the pale skin is by them as well: Virus White Body Powder from the Virus pack!
And honestly I really need to give a shout out to Studio Skye for the background (which I pieced together) using Enchanted Woods set and Water System. I am seriously in love with how detailed and the variety of options that come with all their products!

The Devils blood
The curse of salvation
The odious essence
Of His holy revelation
It floats from the garden of eden
In malevolent grace
The Devil's blood
Through the pentagram's maze
You just can't live that negative way. You know what I mean. Make way for the positive day. Cause it's a new day... -
Bob Marley
The universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.” -
Abraham Hicks
The words we choose to use when we communicate with each other, carry vibrations. The word ‘war’ carries a whole different vibration than the word ‘peace’. The words we use are showing how we think and how we feel. The careful selection of words, helps to elevate our consciousness and resonate in higher frequencies. -
Grigoris Deoudis
A no has a different frequency than a yes, and a maybe is all vibration, oscillating between no and yes. My favorite answers have no movement.” -

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
I like this shot of someone offering a banana to the passing marathon runners taken towards the end of the day - someone did take it.

It’s still possible in these mesh-charged days in Second Life to get a perfect gorgeous gown that’s still essentially an old-fashioned flex offering, and here’s a brand new example from Sascha’s Designs. Though the basic dress is mesh, all of the trimmings are decidedly flex and move and float with your body in a frankly adorable way! The beautiful hair is the new offering from D!va at the current C88.

Autumn Offering
“I shall be Autumn
this Halloween,
with leaf draped skirt,
and folds of
boysenberry velvet wine
flowing to the ground.
Brown stained face,
eyes rimmed in gold,
nails dripping sunset,
a crown of twigs
to cover my head.
You may gather from me
the spring of my youth,
my summer of maturity,
and hold onto with me,
the solace of these days
of remembering
before the frost.”
— Judith A. Lawrence, editor/publisher of River Poets Journal
This was taken at the temple at the Nirvana Memorial Gardens. These fruit and the cupcakes (a kind of bread) are commonly offered to the temple guardian known as "Tuah Pek Kong"

Unfortunately I couldn't find the plaque with the name of this striking sculpture author - neither on site no on the Internet. My French is probably not good enough for that. But I'd like to know... what are these offerings, what is the story?
Pulling up an old image that has been sitting around - this was taken at the Meskwaki Settlement Tama Pow-wow in Iowa a couple years ago. He was offering up prayers following a ceremony for their fellow Indian Veterans.
These common, daily offerings to both good and evil spirits are called "canang sari" by the Balinese. They are handmade works of art in their own right and can also be seen on the altar of the shrine I posted earlier. This time, I took a whole series of photos featuring them in various places. The materials, herbs, flowers, food and money in each offering have much religious symbolism and purpose; for further reading : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canang_sari
A Royal Tern with an offering in its beak. More on the offering and related antics to follow.
I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished folder 13 - that had 1428 photos! This photo was in the second 1/3 of that folder. I'm on Folder 14 which has far less photos.
Religious use of incense has its origins in antiquity. The burned incense is a sacrificial offering to various deity or to serve as an aid in prayer.
Rolieiro - European Roller
O Rolieiro macho vai oferecer à fêmea um insecto que acabou de capturar. Este comportamento faz parte do ritual de acasalamento.
The male Roller proceeds to the offering to the female of an insect that he just captured. This is part of the mating ritual.
On a particularly foggy morning at Godshill Ridge in the New Forest, I found myself darting from one side of the road to the other as the sun started to rise. My goal was to capture both the sunrise and the valley shrouded in fog on one side, while on the other, the sunlight illuminated the trees. The only foreground element I could spot amidst the dense mist was the charred gorse.
The long journey to Indian Henry's Hunting Grounds is strenuous one. Several ridges must be climbed and for me this little scene came up a few moments after I realized that I still had one to go. I took in the cool breeze and cooled off with the cold water and accepted the mountains touching gesture. After sitting on a rock in the shade next to that water fall and stretching a bit I was rejuvenated knowing what waited on the other side.
I broke my cardinal rule yesterday, I posted that pick, got a glass of water and settled in to catch up here and the ills of the day caught up with me and grabbed my camera and headed out without viewing one shot. I'm going to catch up now, but if I missed something sweet due to the one pic a day thang, let me know.
