Southampton has become a real fishing port. I counted 3 fishing tugs in the little harbour. Benjamin-Charles is just one. On this day there were men maintaining their tug. Winter layup is the perfect time to do maintenance.
Hoping and praying that all of my friends/contacts in the San Francisco Bay area are safe and well after today's earthquake

A quick random thought: Most people I meet have told me that, though they might love the mountains, they would feel uncomfortable and perhaps claustrophobic if they were to live amongst such giants for very long. Me? I'd feel protected.

Made with www.adobe.com/go/psx Avila Beach History, The name Avila commemorates Miguel Ávila, who was granted Rancho San Miguelito in 1842.[4][6] The town was established in the latter half of the 19th century, when it served as the main shipping port for San Luis Obispo. Around this time, Luigi Marre built a honeymoon hotel here and steamboats brought customers from San Francisco and Los Angeles.[7]
Although Avila Beach still has a working commercial fishing pier and the inland areas have extensive apple orchards, tourism is now the main industry. There are few historical structures remaining; among the oldest is the Point San Luis Light, built in 1890 after a series of shipping accidents. During World War II the beach and port were used for the Amphibious Training Base Morro Bay.[8]
In the late 1990s, Unocal began the cleanup of decades old oil seepage discovered years earlier from corroding pipes under the township, and which had caused a massive oil spill under the town.[9] Over 6,750 truckloads of contaminated material was sent to a Bakersfield landfill, and replaced with clean Guadalupe Dunes sand.[10] Many of the town's homes and businesses, including several blocks of Front Street, were razed as a result of the quarter-mile-wide excavation. New buildings, homes, businesses, modern walkways and sea motif walls and benches have been constructed.[11] Wikipedia
A safe space is anywhere—physical or emotional—where you feel protected, understood, and free to be yourself. It’s a refuge where you can process your thoughts without fear of judgment or harm. It’s the quiet corner of a bustling world, the moment of stillness amidst chaos, the embrace that tells you, without words, that you are enough.
Sometimes, this space is found in the presence of another—a person who listens, who holds your truth without trying to change it. Other times, it is something you create for yourself. A song hummed under your breath, the rhythmic tapping of fingers against a keyboard, the solace of a well-worn book whose pages feel like home. A safe place is not just a location, but a feeling—an anchor in the storm, a beacon in the distance, reminding you that even in uncertainty, you have somewhere to land.
Beyond the reef and breakers, in the protected strait between the palms of the island of Maui and the cloud covered island of Lanai, with gathering storm clouds above making for a beautiful early evening sky ... soon to be followed, however, by a tropical downpour and heaving seas out beyond the islands!

Thankfully, you only have to keep a distance from other visitors, not the art in Potsdam's fabulous Monet exhibition.

So this may be a male heliopahnus flavipes jumping spider but I'm not sure (at all). Feel free to correct me.
This guy was extremely determined to keep his lunch aphid. He didn't move too much so I had a couple of chances to get good shots.
Eventually, when I set him free again, on the spot where I found him, he still carried his prey between his fangs.
Shot with a KX800 twin flash.
Every time I see these great apes in captivity I get this lump in my throat.. In particular with these magnificent Gorillas. Just who do we, humans, think we are...
Maybe this emotion played a part in why I was so touched by this scene. The two hands; the mother's big protective one and the baby's tiny vulnerable one. The stern strong and yet gentle expression on her face telling me that she would do anything.. just anything to defend her little one. And the baby clinging on to his mother, safe in her embrace...
By the way, the mum just dug into a handful of mouldered wood, that's why her face is so brown..
Have a great (and safe) weekend everyone!!
My sweet boy was missing for nearly 50 hours--he made me a nervous wreck. Finally, this morning he made his way home~~soaking wet and very hungry.
He's grounded and can't go outside for a day or two.
San Salvador ( upper left ) made it across the bay and is now ankered in the Maritime Museum and getting ready for a trip up North to Portland/Oregon via the California coast and the Columbia river.
Early morning - Port of San Diego
A closer image of the outside. I am not that tall, only about 5'5" and had to really bend over, almost crawl into this "safe house." The County employee told me they are researching the records to see if they can find the documentation they need to put it on the historical register and preserve it. At this time it is only history that has been passed down from person to person, that is to say word of mouth. There is quite a history over the United States regarding "Sundown Towns" which practiced the "Sundown Laws."
