I am so sorry that I was playing and messing up with her hair. So I have to wash her hair again. Now she does not look so 'hollywood' anymore. But she's still a natural beauty =]
In 1880, Redding Mine, otherwise known as No. 10 in the Wenonah Mining Camp, was opened to allow TCI to haul iron ore out of Red Mountain.
Most of the year the structures are not even visible to the naked eye thanks to the kudzu. However, in the depths of winter, everything dies and turns a nice shade of greyish brown, revealing giant concrete buildings that once housed operations at Wenonah.
Guane - Colombia - cardinal - red cardinal -
The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is a North American bird in the genus Cardinalis; it is also known colloquially as the redbird or common cardinal. It can be found in southern Canada, through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico. It is found in woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and swamps.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_cardinal
Located in the Santander region of northeastern Colombia, San Gil is more popularly known as Colombia's 'adventure sports capital'.
But if adrenalin pumping activities are not really your thing, there is much more to discover around San Gil, particularly if you enjoy walking like we do!
After a quick Google of the area, we discovered that the nearby pueblos (small towns) of Barichara and Guane offer some great hiking and photographic opportunities.

The most impressive of all the boat races of Kerala is the Snake Boat Race, which is commonly referred to as Chundanvallams. The brilliant performance of the rowers portrays the inherent sporting zeal and sportsman spirit of the local inhabitants of the southern state of India Kerala.
Snake boat has got a length of 100 – 120 feet and usually more than a hundred people are on board. Both the ends of the boats are raised from water level. The rear end has a height of about twenty feet from the surface of water. Nearly eighty six persons are rowers, ten to fifteen are to give the rhythm, four are to steer the vessel. It will finish the 1.4 Km track in less then 5 minutes.
I am searching the archives for some warth. They said it was above freezing today but that was without the windchill factored in.

Another one shot wide open.
Looking back at some of my photos taken at the British Wildlife Centre that I visited with friends back in 2010 ... a nice photo I think showing typical Red Squirrel pose.

Red Kites hunting over Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, just off the M40/A40 junction. A hot sunny Summer day with plenty of rising air is ideal for these birds. These shots were taken with a Canon 200mmm EF lens; not particular good or long, but the birds are hunting down to 15 feet over the roadway. At one point, I had 8 adults in a single frame. In 30 minutes, I saw 25-35 birds; truly remarkable and one of the great wildlife spectacles of Southern England.

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
DALLAS -- Almost a year ago to the day, Red River 44 took off from Kuwait, bound for Balad in central Iraq.
Seven National Guardsmen, three of them from North Texas, were aboard a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
They were among the last soldiers of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 149th Aviation Regiment to move into Iraq for the beginning of their 10-month deployment.
Except that Red River 44 went down around midnight Sept. 17, killing all seven men: four Texans and three Oklahomans. It was the worst one-day loss of men for the Texas National Guard since World War II.
Sunday marked the end of their return home.
Under a constant and soaking rain, the last of their remains were buried in a single battleship-gray casket at the top of a hill in the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, a fitting end, some said, because of their close relationship while alive.
"I'm glad they did this," said Glenda Hamilton, the mother of Chief Warrant Officer Corry A. Edwards, 38, who lived in Kennedale. "This is good. This is closure."
Edwards and 1st Lt. Robert Vallejo II, 28, who lived in North Richland Hills, were already buried at the national cemetery. "Section 7," Hamilton said. "There's only one grave in between them. We visit both of them when we come."
The accident also killed Sgt. Anthony Luke Mason, 37, of Springtown; Chief Warrant Officer Brady J. Rudolf, 37, of Oklahoma City; 1st Sgt. Julio Ordonez, 54, of San Antonio; Sgt. Daniel Eshbaugh, 43, of Norman, Okla.; and Cpl. Michael E. Thompson, 23, of Kingston, Okla.
The graveside ceremony, attended by hundreds of soldiers from the Texas and Oklahoma National Guard, was followed by a memorial service in the unit's hangar in southwest Dallas.
Amid a few poignant songs, including an a cappella version of The Lord's Prayer, and the often-difficult speeches from commanders, the most memorable part of the service was the presentation of flags to each of the men's children.
There were 18 of them, some of them stoic teenagers, some crying children and one 9-month-old boy who never laid eyes on his dad.
