Sunsets have much meaning. They signify endings, change, and transformation and remind us that change is part of life and everything has an end.

Some of you may have heard of the famous Cape Breton Celtic band called the Barra MacNeils without knowing what the name actually signifies. Historically the MacNeil’s were the chief clan of the Isle of Barra a Western Scottish Island that saw a lot of its population immigrate to other British colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries including PEI. St. Patrick's the grand dame captured here is a far cry from the log structure that the first 20+ families from Barra erected here in 1790, it also has the distinction of being the first church in Canada to be dedicated to St Patrick.

When I visited this woodland a week before, the bluebells were well on their way to their best but there was little else in the forest to signify Spring. A week later and I was amazed by how much spring had sprung into life, especially in the canopy and lower branches.

Ataraxia (Ἀταραξία "tranquility") is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation.

For the Epicureans, ataraxia was synonymous with the only true happiness possible for a person.

It signifies the state of robust tranquility that derives from eschewing faith in an afterlife, not fearing the gods because they are distant and unconcerned with us, avoiding politics and vexatious people, surrounding oneself with trustworthy and affectionate friends and, most importantly, being an affectionate, virtuous person, worthy of trust.

On the Ellon roundabout in Aberdeenshire by the Ythan River Bridge there is a lovely galvanised steel mesh statue sculpture of an otter.

The 10 feet tall statue was designed and created by sculptor Andy Scott in Glasgow.

An otter was chosen to signify the relationship between Ellon and the River Ythan which is home to many otters.

Cu Chulainn's lament

treat yourself: the great Davy Spillane on the Uilleann pipes

Hello Everyone!

Red is cheerful and bright, at least that's what I always thought about red. Beginning Nov. 12, 2020 Manitoba will be on full lockdown, the first Canadian Province to order another second full lockdown since the first one in March. Manitoba has been listed as Red which is considered Critical, the highest level on our Pandemic Response System. Green signifies Limited Risk of Transmission. After having the lowest rate of transmission during the summer, Manitoba now has the highest rate of transmission of Covid-19 in Canada with Winnipeg being the hotspot which is where I live. I just hope that everybody can do their part to get the numbers down. "Think Green" my fellow Manitobans and Canadians! We'll get this under control if everybody does their part! Please be safe! Keep well and hang in there!

Thanks so much for your supportive comments and your views! Always wonderful to hear from you! Have a terrific day!

The delicate flowers and foliage of Wild Chervil delight the heart even in a Cold Spring. 'Chervil' is said to go back on two Greek words signifying something like 'foliage delight'. Indeed, the fine-structured leaves and umbelliferous collections of tiny flowers are quite beautiful close-by and splendid fields make Spring bright and happy.

Small and delicate 22-Spot Ladybird likes to forage for Mildew on this and other umbrella flowers.

"Happiness is the state of mind", so true

Pain is indeed the jouney the mind takes,

Through rough roads of sorrow and sufferings

Awaiting one royal tear of highest achievement

Unique that you are in God's creation !

May this November that got you through the tumultuous journey,

year long,

Bring to you, your utmost prized possession ,

"Happiness is the state of mind" so true.

Interestingly, the feathers around the beak are drawn forward signifying a relaxed state. A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests. 62529

February's full moon is also known as the snow moon. Each month, the full moon carries a different name signifying what is most associated with that time. This is because centuries ago, lunar months were associated with the changing seasons rather than the solar year.

Native Americans and Europeans gave February the "snow moon" title because it was the month associated with heavy snowfall, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

It is also rare to see the snowy mountains in the Bay Area . Thank you for stopping by!!

Our relationship with lace up heels is a long and complicated source of feminist debate. What they mean or don’t mean, signify or don’t signify – those have long been a part of the fervent discussions. Despite it all, I still love them!

Lace-up heels, like these NALA Ava Straps, are great to wear because they’re SO sexy and come in many different colors. It's HUD fatpack comes with 60 colors in both glitter & basic!

Fits: Kupra, Maitreya, Legacy, Belleza GenX (+ Curvy), and Reborn mesh bodies.

I am wearing this fabulous black Sentinus Taylor mini with these Nala Ana Heels. A mini dress like this one is a great choice when wearing lace-up heels as they allow you to show off the straps no matter how high they come up your leg.

Ocean Terminal (Chinese: 海運大廈) is a cruise terminal and shopping centre located on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

The location of Ocean Terminal was once a wharf pier (Kowloon Star Ferry Pier, Kowloon Wharf and Godown) on the west shore of Tsim Sha Tsui. Rebuilt and enlarged for use as a cruise terminal, it also served as a multi-story shopping centre. Ocean Terminal opened on 22 March 1966, signifying the increasing wealth of Hong Kong. Costing HK$70 million, its 112 shops made it "the largest shopping centre" in Hong Kong.

It was re-branded together with nearby buildings of the Wharf as Harbour City. Ocean Terminal is now owned by The Wharf (Holdings) Limited.

Water is pure and signifies life.

Where is your life going?

Is your water in a waterfall, dropping, and getting worse?

Or is it filling your glass, overflowing, and getting better?

Is your water still there?

Not evaporating?

Being dried up by the sun?

Are you losing time?

Do you watch how your water flows?

How is your life?

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

from that Scottish play, written by You Know Who.

Sometimes it is really hard to find and say things that signify something, anything

A line from one of my all-time favourite movies, Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's end. The "green flash" was a rarely seen phenomenon where a green light would flash on the ocean's horizon signifying the exact moment that a soul returned from Davy Jones' Locker. A moment as powerful and pivotal as a deep realization, a purpose fulfilled... or a kiss.

A beautiful twilight signifies the impending dawn of new dreams and ambitions.

Daytime portrait of the historic Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior's North Shore about 40 miles northeast of Two Harbors, Minnesota.

Funds for the light station were appropriated by Congress in 1907 at the bidding of U.S. Steel Corp. and other iron ore interests after a November 1905 storm on Lake Superior damaged 29 ships (a third of which were uninsured and owned by U.S. Steel).

The station was opened in 1910 and was decommissioned in 1969 during the era when technology was making lighthouses obsolete. The State of Minnesota has had the site since 1971, and in 1976 it turned operations of the light station over to the Minnesota Historical Society. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2011.
