Cool mountain evenings lent themselves well to gathering around a fire. With this group, it didn't take long for games, songs, poems, or meaningful discussions to find their way into our circle.
Today, Ceann Comhairle, Seán Ó FearghaÃl, T.D unveiled a bust of John Hume to commemorate receipt of the Nobel Prize by John Hume and David Trimble, for their efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Northern Ireland. The Ceann Comhairle unveiled the bust in the presence of Mr Hume’s son, John Hume Jnr, and the late Lord Trimble’s wife, Lady Daphne, who both spoke briefly at the event.
The bust was created by Northern Irish born Sculptor Elizabeth O’Kane whose work focuses on portraiture, expression and movement, continuing the tradition of realist sculpture with a contemporary approach. Collectors of her work include the European Parliament; the Irish embassies in Washington DC and London; the Department of Foreign Affairs; the Office of Public Works (OPW); and Belfast City Hall. A bust of David Trimble is being acquired by the OPW and will be unveiled later this year to coincide with the anniversary of the receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize

With Jedd as extension of the family, i feel more important than ever before. Not in social context, but with responsibility as provider and protector.
Parents happily live less for themselves when children are young. And i dare say that perhaps with some exceptions, parents have no regrets.

Capra aegagrus creticus L.
Family: Bovidae, subfamily: Caprinae
Location: National Gardens Athens
The National Gardens or Vassilikos Kipos, (Royal Gardens in Greek as it was formerly known), is a peaceful, green refuge of 186 hectares* in the centre of Athens. This peaceful garden, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is slightly neglected but contains some interesting plants and rare trees. There is a small zoo which contains the Cretan wild goat (kri kri) or agrimi.
These animals prefer mountainous terrain with low phrygana vegetation and steep slopes. At the beginning of the 20th century hunting was intensive and reduced population numbers dramatically. A number of animals took refuge on the isolated peaks of Lefka Ori mountains. However, Kri Kri can be encountered in the Samaria National Park, Crete which was founded specifically to protect this special habitat flora and fauna and measures were taken for the animal’s conservation which has resulted in an increase in the population of kri kri in the Samaria Gorge.

Saunton sands beach, Devon. We were the only people crazy enough to be out in this weather, but it's just so beautiful! Taken with my iPhone (too wet for my larger camera) just before the weather turned and we got hit by a hailstorm, now sitting in the lovely warm Saunton Sands hotel bar drying out ...

The container in the foreground is the ticket office for one of the whale watching companies that operate out of ReykjavÃk harbour.
The ships with the red funnels right behind it make up the Icelandic whaling fleet.
The whaling ships are in various states of decay, having been out of use for nearly 20 years. As far as I know, Hvalur 9, the one closest to the bridge, is the only boat that returned to "active service" when Iceland reintroduced commercial whaling in 2006.
While waiting to return to our ship, I saw these children fishing from the pier with makeshift lines, The were using raw meat as bait
Landscape of the Aquia harbor at Government Island in Stafford, VA. This park already has a very serene vibe, but the stillness of the water and the bright blue sky made the scene so peaceful.

The weather was downright nasty today. The rain was extremely heavy at times, although it had thankfully paused briefly around noon when I went out for today's photo. Driving down Willett Avenue, I spotted these two mute swans sheltering on shore alongside some mallard ducks and Canada geese. It's interesting to see the three sets together since swans can be downright nasty and they're very territorial. They apparently forged a truce today, at least for the duration of the storm.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
'Peaceful Doves' nesting in Healesville Sanctuary - they are SO pretty.
Specialising in native Australian animals, Healesville Sanctuary is one of the Zoos Victoria sites, located at Healesville in the Yarra Valley to the east of Melbourne. It is a fantastic set-up, well worth the cost and at least a half-day visit! More info available at www.zoo.org.au/healesville.
.....but not for long :o)
It's rare that Fred stops being active.

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. ~William Ewart Gladstone
