At the pool with our friends Karen and JJ, really nice place with 3 pools and hot tubs, waterfalls from the rocks
The staff and students at Elizabeth High School were honored today with a visit from Ms. Ana Maria Amin, Board President. Ms. Amin congratulated the students, the staff, and administration on achieving their recent ranking as the number one school in New Jersey according to The Washington Post’s Challenge Index. She took time to observe student presentations and teacher instruction commenting that she was very impressed with the school and proud of the students. Mr. Cummings, principal, said, “We are very fortunate to have such leadership on the board and we are very grateful when board members take the time to visit us.”

Taken at dawn at the river Tay near Stanley. One in a series that I think catch the feeling of paintings by Vallette.
One of several historic homes from the 1700s and 1800s that dot the landscape of this affluential area in New England.
My camera was sitting in the corner of the lounge looking sad and unused and I was thinking, I don't really have any inspiration to go out and take any photos, but it would be great to remind myself that I can at least use the thing properly if I need to
So, went into the kitchen, found some undrunk wine and had a little play around with texture
So, its not a masterpiece, but it did at least remind me that through having something like photography in our lives, whether its as an enjoyable hobby or you're fortunate enough to have it as a full time career, it means we always have the ability at any moment to take our surroundings, create anything we can imagine and then keep it for eternity. I really think we're the lucky ones.

Two Limited Edition Staves were amongst those in the collection and Kim brought this one - one of two Alice in Wonderland Limited Editions of 50 (which are still available new, just!) as her Show & Tell jigsaw. Members loved putting it together with her!
Top Row:
Stave LE/50 cut by Judy in 1997, 400pc A Mad Tea Party, design by Jennifer Brown. This is no13 in the edition.
A booklet contains further riddles, puzzles or clues.
The jigsaw is shaped as a teapot, with small Wonderland characters clambering over it - the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, while playing cards slide along the handle. At the centre is the table of the Mad Hatter's tea party with four chairs one for the Mad Hatter, Dormouse, White Rabbit and Alice. Each figure points to letters around the chairbacks, forming part of a riddle. The Stave Clown sits in the centre, perhaps indicating that figurals nearby form a rebus. The back of the jigsaw has golden polished veneer.
Lower Row:
Stave LE/50, 400pc Off With Her Head! design by Jennifer Brown, 15x22in, booklet containing riddles & clues. Cut DR? 8/2000.
The jigsaw is shaped like the Red Queen, wearing a wide cloak and holding a heart shaped fan - but her head is detachable!. Letters, suits and symbols decorate her clothing, in dropout along her cloak's clasp, no doubt forming part of a riddle. Within is a vivid scene from Alice in Wonderland in the Queen's garden. Playing card gardeners painting roses, Alice & the White Rabbit playing croquet with Flamingo mallets, the Queen dominating the King the Cheshire cat appearing; grin first as a sculpt or sliver dropout. The back reveals many card whimsies around the edge, along with symbols, two flamingo and a rabbit.

I’d never met Scarlett, but I knew Kayley thought highly of her. Something in her boot was bugging her now, and she used it as an excuse not to talk any more, concentrating on fiddling with it and rubbing her foot. I guess the raid idea, the half assed plan as Peter had called it, was her last hope for Scarlett.

We had a lot of snow last week in Cheshire and this was one of Catherine's first ever encounters with it.
The first lambs of spring...Farmer's wife, Judy Stephenson, bottle feeds orphans at The Great Barn, Howsham, North Yorkshire.
The Stephensons keep about 150 sheep. They currently have around 250 lambs.
Lambing is one of the busiest times of year on the farm, when sheep and lambs need care round the clock.
