USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship in the United States Navy. Naval officers and crew still serve aboard her today. The USS Constitution is operated by the United States Navy, a partner to the National Parks of Boston.
Prior to independence, the colonies were protected from pirates and foreign navies by the British Royal Navy. After independence the USA had to defend itself. In 1794, Congress authorized the construction of the first six warships that became the new United States Navy. USS Constitution was built in the North End of Boston. Construction began in 1794 and Constitution was launched on October 21, 1797.
The greatest glory for Constitution came during the War of 1812. Constitution's crew defeated four British frigates during three separate engagements. In battle, Constitution earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" because it appeared as if enemy cannonballs could not penetrate the ship's strong oak hull.
If you are ever at the MoMa in SF, go to the garden rooftop for coffee (or tea) and desserts. The presentation is so worth it alone.
(283/365) This spider has made her home in a Mint plant on our patio so you can see how small she is compared to the size of the Mint leaves. I only realised she was munching on a tiny aphid when I cropped the image & saw it's wings. Taken on my iPhone5 (Arachtober 7)

Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812. British forces included British regulars, local militia, aboriginal warriors, and a corps of freed slaves. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock served at Fort George until his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. Brock and his aide-de-camp John Macdonell, who were both killed during the battle, were initially interred at the fort. In May 1813, the Americans captured Fort George following a barrage of artillery fire from Fort Niagara (located less than 1000 metres across the Niagara River) and ships at the mouth of the river and on Lake Ontario. The bombardment destroyed most of the fort, which was held by the Americans for 7 months.
The Americans used Fort George and the adjacent town of Niagara-on-the-Lake as a base to invade the rest of Upper Canada. However, British forces repulsed the Americans at the Battles of Stoney Creek and Beaver Dams. The British recaptured Fort George in December 1813. During the American withdrawal, they razed the town and the fort. The townspeople rebuilt Niagara-on-the-Lake following the war, and the British partially rebuilt Fort George. However, Fort George's importance diminished as a result of the construction of Fort Mississauga down river on the other side of Niagara-on-the-Lake. As a result, Fort George fell into ruin and was abandoned in 1820.
The fort has since been rebuilt to how it would have appeared during the War of 1812. The only structure that survived the war was, ironically, its most vulnerable: the powder magazine.
The blockhouses were used for storage (on the ground level) and as barracks (on the upper level).
Well, I didn't expect to see a crew member climb up onto the wings of a PBY Catalina, pull out a dipstick, and check the engine oil before winding up the engines - kind of like you would do at a self serve gas station. It makes perfect sense, of course. It's all what you're used to seeing, I suppose.
The aircraft named "Mary K" from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum was visiting a local "Wings and Wheels" event. It's distinctive profile was a joy to see - and hear - the sound of those two 1200 hp Pratt & Whitney engines is unmistakable.

The Imperial Hotel at the corner of Fort and Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand; Now a part of the National Historic Places Trust, It is still operational, but now offers accommodation to backpackers. The building has served as a social centre for the city for more than 125 years, and remains a popular watering hole and communal lounge.
The hotel has historic significance: It was developed on a shoreline that was once responsible for bringing goods and other supplies into the area. Since the building housed offices for important organizations including the Harbour Board and the Gas Board, it served as the administrative centre of the city, as well as the social centre. The creation and housing of the Auckland Harbour Board in 1871 played a considerable role in the city’s economic development.
The former hotel is also of architectural importance. The Webb Buildings that adjoined the hotel and became part of it in 1954 with the bar expansion show the architecture of James Wrigley. They are one of the only commercial properties Wrigley designed.
The Imperial Hotel was added to the National Historic Places Trust on September 10, 1987.

If memory serves, I think this is a Great Blue Heron.
I was out looking for Fall color today in Caledonia when I happened upon this guy.
He was remarkably calm and tame. I had the 40-150mm mounted (rather than my 70-300) so I had to sneak pretty close to get this shot. Luckily, he didn't bat an eyelash ... just kept gazing out at his lake.

The building itself was completed in 1911, and served as a U.S. Post Office (on the first floor) and a Courthouse of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (on the second floor). It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979.
The Hippodrome Theatre (often referred to by residents as the Hipp) is a regional professional theatre in downtown Gainesville, Florida, United States. It was founded in 1973 by local actors. The address is 25 Southeast 2nd Place.
The interior is in good condition, maintaining much of the original walls, doors, and beams from its post office and courthouse era. It is a relatively small location, with a 268-seat thrust stage main stage theater on the second floor and 80-seat cinema space on the first floor. The Hippodrome building also has one of the oldest working elevators in Florida which requires the operator to manually close the screen, the door, and then pull a crank to operate.
The Hippodrome uses professional actors and has its own set designers, costume designers, sound engineers, and lighting engineers for each of its main stage productions. It also provides youth theater, education classes. The Hippodrome features Broadway and off-Broadway productions and art house films.
The Hippodrome provides arts education for all ages, including classes & camps, in-school programs, workshops and behind-the-scenes opportunities for adults.

Lui è Milo, taglia media, culo morbido, occhi con l'eye-liner, ricercatore specializzato in contatto umano. Serve una coccola?
A section of Purgatory brook I've never shot before. It's a pretty tight turn, but the bubble swirl was just too much to pass up.
These cookies are probably the largest set I have made in a hurry. There are approximately four and a half dozen here. I started baking at seven in the evening because I HAD to go pick of some furniture yesterday out of town and it turned into a long trip...Anyway, two and a half hours of decorating after the baking, plus about an hour this morning adding the finishing touches with my food color pen out me in at right about 4 1/2 hours total decorating and baking time. Although I don't hate these, I had much grander plans for these that didn't pan out because I didn't prioritize very well. Most notably, I would change the handcuff chain design. But I will save that for next time. Moral of the story, don't wait until seven in the evening to start on a batch of cookies, LOL!
That said, these were for a man who is graduating from the police accademy today.
