Have a great weekend and thank you for all the continued support! 😁
"Highland Retreat" is an idyllic Scottish island perfect for relaxation. With picturesque landscapes, cozy cottage and hidden secrets, it offers a peaceful escape from daily life. Ideal for nature lovers and tranquility seekers.
The polishing pond at Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear, Texas, was once full of avian species, especially large water birds. But a new freeway nearby, new apartments nearby and new additions to the sewerage plant nearby have caused the birds to retreat to few reedy patches in greatly reduced numbers. Here they are, some of them, Black-drowned Night Herons, Great Blue Herons and a few turtles, too. Still, a nice photo.
Not a bad place to self-isolate! We have been at the cottage now for 11 months with occasional quick visits to Halifax for essential services not available locally.

“I want my heart to be the thin place. I don't want to board a plane to feel the kiss of heaven. I want to carry it with me wherever I go. I want my fragile, hurting heart, to recognize fleeting kairos, eternal moments as they pass. I want to be my own mountain and my own retreat.”
- Anna White, Mended: Thoughts on Life, Love, and Leaps of Faith -
Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence. Psalms 140:13
I planned to spend some time with this great find and fine-tune my composition, moving further to the left and lower to the water.
Unfortunately, I was sinking in the salt /mud. After this shot, I was up to my ankles and had difficulty pulling my boot out. I leaned on my tripod for support, and it quickly sank one leg section deep.
I freed myself, gave up on additional compositions, and retreated to more stable ground.
GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

A retreat where mystics from the realm of plenty gather to drink and share the year’s trials…

Coastal retreat. Tis so often true that the best days begin and end on the beach and with the company of family and loved ones those days can last a lifetime sewn deep into your heart........During these tough times with restrictions in place we each still have the power to dream and hopefully in time to be able to pursue our dreams. All it takes is a believe that they can come true and the strength and conviction to make them..A dream can make life worth living and our dreams are what can get us through even the worst of days.....

"Peace does not mean the suppression of all differences, but their coexistence and fruitful collaboration. Peace does not consist in one man, one party, one nation, crushing and dominating everyone else. Peace exists where men who have the power to be enemies are, instead, friends by reason of the sacrifices they have made in order to meet one another on a higher level, where the differences between them are no longer a source of conflict.”
-Thomas Merton (The Monastic Journey, pp.41)

✨ Final Curtain Call at Tranquil Toes Retreat ✨
Darlings, foot lovers and other kinksters,
it is with a delicate sigh and an air of mystery that I announce the closing of Tranquil Toes Retreat as of December 1st. Yes, the whispers of time have caught up with us, and for now, our haven of soothing bliss will slip into the shadows.
But don’t mistake this for a goodbye. It’s only a suspenseful pause... perhaps a brief interlude, or a grand return in another chapter. Who can say? The future is a tantalizing enigma, as fleeting as the ripples in a warm foot bath.
For those who’ve graced our sanctuary, I invite you to indulge one last time before we close the doors, perhaps with a knowing smile — you never know what may come next.
Thank you for your loyalty, your serenity, and the moments of luxurious indulgence we've shared.
Until we meet again... or perhaps not.
Stay fabulous

one who turns inward
with an untroubled mind
to search where the consciousness I arises
realizes the Self
and rests in That
like a river when it joins the ocean.

Anaklia (Georgian: ანაკლია) is a town and seaside resort in western Georgia. It is located in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, at the place where the Enguri River flows into the Black Sea.
The earliest settlement on Anaklia's territory dates back to the mid-Bronze Age and is typical to the Colchian culture. It is the Classical Heraclea of Colchis, Anaclia of later authors, and Anarghia of Archangelo Lamberti and Jean Chardin (both the 17th-century travelers). After the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century, it was an important fortified town, sea port and fishing station within the Principality of Mingrelia. In 1723, the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire and converted into its maritime outpost and slave-trading locale. Western Georgian kingdom of Imereti regained control over Anaklia in 1770, seizing the opportunity of Ottoman Empire being at war with Russia (Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)). Solomon I, the king of Imereti, was supposed to be supported in this endeavor by a small Russian contingent under General Totleben, but the Russian troops retreated before a clash against the Turks.
In 1802, Kelesh-Bey Sharvashidze, the pro-Turkish ruler of the neighboring Principality of Abkhazia, capitalized on the internecine feuds in Mingrelia, and forced Prince Grigol Dadiani of Mingrelia into surrendering Anaklia, taking Grigol’s son and heir, Levan, as a hostage. When Mingrelia accepted the Russian protectorate in 1803, the Russian commander in Georgia, Prince Tsitsianov, demanded that Kelesh-Bey release Levan. On his refusal, Tsitsianov sent Major General Ion Rykgof into Abkhazia. In March 1805, the Russians took hold of Anaklia and threatened to march against Sukhum-Kaleh, forcing the Abkhazian prince to release Dadiani. The capture of Anaklia drew an Ottoman protest, however, and Tsitsianov hastened to disavow his subordinate and even apologize for his action, removing a Russian garrison from Anaklia. However, the incident added to an increasing tension between the two empires. When the next Russo-Turkish War broke out in 1806, the Russian forces restored Redoubt Kali and Anaklia to the Mingrelian prince Levan who would later relinquish the control of these forts to the Russian administration. (See Russian conquest of the Caucasus#Black Sea Coast.) In the 1850s, Anaklia was a small but strongly fortified seaport, which had a custom-house and carried on a considerable trade with Turkey.
Subsequently, the importance of the Anaklia port significantly reduced, but it remained a minor Black Sea Fleet base in the Soviet times.
After the War in Abkhazia (1992–93), a Russian peacekeeping post was opened at Anaklia in 1994. In 2006, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia reported numerous damages inflicted by the Russian soldiers upon the 17th-century fortress of Anaklia and accused the peacekeepers of installing latrines and baths within the walls of the fort. Following a series of protests by the Georgians, the Russian military post was withdrawn in July 2007.
A monument has been erected in Anaklia on May 21, 2012, commemorating Russia's expulsion of the Circassian people from the region following the conclusion of the Caucasian War in the 1860s. The May 21 date was chosen to coincide with the day on which the Circassian people themselves commemorate the expulsion, which the Georgian government has recognized as an act of genocide. The monument was designed by Khusen Kochesokov, a sculptor from the North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria.
