The segregation-era homes of Inglewood are looking ragged, still showing tenacious independence in their dereliction. Some sit empty, others cling tightly to memories fading since integration finally came in 1954. Now you're just as likely to find black as white in this neighborhood, precariously perched over the hill and out of sight of Bridgetown. I've passed through walking, biking, or driving since being born, watching the mouldering, demolition, and periodic renovation of various tiny historic homes. Thousands of times on the roadside, seeing what the years might make of us. The oldest ones show additions on additions, slowly expanded from the original shacks, more room made as money was saved and children born. Poor, proud history, old as any other village in the Valley, but far more forgotten. But you and I, we remember.

"Milunka "
glumi: Vesna Stankovic
rezija: Petar Stanojlovic
tekst: Vesna Stankovic
Ispovest heroine Srpskih oslobodilackih ratova Milunke Savic u interpretaciji glumice Jugoslovenskog dramskog pozorista - Vesne Stankovic.
Licna ispovest u prvom licu zene ratnika o zivotu i smrti , ratu, Srbiji i njenoj istoriji, iz ugla zene borca koja je dobila mnoga i najvisa odlikovanja ( orden za hrabrost, Karadjordjevu zvezdu sa macevima, medalju Milos Obilic, jedina zena u svetu odlikovana Francuskim Ratnim krstom sa palmom, dva ordena Legije casti...)
Prica pocinje od njenih devojackih dana, koje provodi u kopaonickom selu Koprivnici, sa dve sestre, roditeljima i bolesljivim bratom. Celog zivota ima izrazitu potrebu da zastiti slabe i ugrozene, stoga u Prvi balkanski rat odlazi umessto brata, preobucena u muskarca, pod imenom Milun Savic. Neostrasiva u svakoj borbi, najvise poznata kao bombas, biva ranjavana i njena tajna se otkriva. Vojska staje uz nju i iako je u suprotnostima sa vojnim pravilima, zadrzavaju je u jedinici. Biva ranjavana cak devet puta, u sedam godina ratovanja, dobija cak dvanaest medalja, a posle demobilizacije radja devojcicu, usvaja jos tri cerke i vise od tridesetoro dece hrani, podize, skoluje... Visoko cenjena od strane francuskih vojnih velikasa Fransea De perea, Sarla de Gola i Viceadmirala Geprata, u Srbiji zavrsava kao cistacica u banci, a nocu sije vojne uniforme i podize desetinu i desetinu dece iz kopaonickih sela.
Sama za sebe bi rekla da je ovo - ispovest o zivotu od prve puske, do prve metle.
This is a 'save the date' I made for my sister and her future husband. Her only request was to have the correct information and to include a monkey puzzle tree.

Highcliffe-on-Sea ( usually shortened to Highcliffe ) is a small town in the borough of Christchurch, Dorset in southern England. It forms part of the South East Dorset conurbation along the English Channel coast. The town lies on a picturesque stretch of Solent coastline with views of the Isle of Wight and its Needles rock formation. In 1838 a large ship the Herman Julius 336 tons, was wrecked at Chuton ( Chewton ) Bunny. The crew of 11 were saved, one was lost overboard before she struck. Bemister and Holloway purchased the wreck.
Highcliffe Castle is a Grade I listed building now owned by Christchurch Council, and described as the most important remaining example of the Romantic and Picturesque style of architecture. It holds events open to the general public throughout the year open, and can be used for weddings and other private events. Highcliffe Castle, situated on the cliffs at Highcliffe, Dorset, was built between 1831 and 1835 by Charles Stuart, 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay in a Gothic Revival style on the site of High Cliff house, a Georgian Mansion designed for the 3rd Earl of Bute ( a founder of Kew Gardens) with the gardens laid out by Capability Brown. The design, by William Donthorne, a founder member of RIBA, incorporated large quantities of carved Medieval stonework salvaged from the Norman Benedictine Abbey of St Peter at Jumieges and the Grande Maison des Andelys. The Earl's fourth son, General Sir Charles Stuart sold the estate apart from the nearby smaller Bure Homage House.
All that remains of the original High Cliff are the two entrance lodges, now used as a restaurant, also some of the garden walls and features in the lands. The son of Sir Charles Stuart, also Charles Stuart, decided to buy his grandfather's estate and build a new house there. In 1828 Sir Charles Stuart became Lord Stuart de Rothesay. Early retirement from the diplomatic service meant Lord Stuart could now start on the project to build the new house and by 1830 he had purchased much of the eastern end of the estate. The castle is built on an L shaped plan, oriented on a south-east axis, so the oriel window is central on the south east elevation, providing a vista across the landscaped gardens to a panorama of the needles and Isle of Wight. The house remained in the family until 1950 when much of the estate was sold and eventually developed up to the castle walls. For a time from 1950 to 1953 the Castle was a children's home before being sold to Claretian Missionary fathers as firstly a noviciate, then for use as a seminary. The castle was put up for sale in 1966, after many years of uncertainty and neglect the castle was eventually restored. Today the Castle’s renovated exterior is testimony of the remarkable skills of craftsmen and women who carried out a huge repair and conservation programme in the 1990s, jointly funded by Christchurch Borough Council, English Heritage and a £2.65 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Highcliffe lies close to the historic town of Christchurch, the resort town of Bournemouth, and the New Forest National Park. Highcliffe's position on the middle of England's south coast gives it a climate with milder winters than inland areas and less rainfall than locations further west. This helped establish the town as a popular health and leisure resort during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. What is now regarded as Highcliffe has developed over the last several hundred years from the hamlet of Slop Pond, the Chewton Estate, and Chewton Common. The latter two also contained large farmsteads. Slop Pond was a collection of thatched cottages, named from the large pond on its common. The cottages wereoccupied by farm workers and fishermen, who engaged in the smuggling and poaching trade now notorious in local history. When the area became a more popular tourist destination in the Victorian era, Slop Pond was renamed Newtown. It was later then changed to Highcliff, after the first High Cliff house, and soon became known as Highcliffe on Sea.
Chewton Bunny Nature Reserve is an ancient wooded river valley which forms the county boundary between Dorset and Hampshire. The Walkford Brook flows through the site, entering a culvert and eventually flowing out to sea. A chine is a steep-sided river valley where the river flows to the sea through, typically, soft eroding coastal cliffs of sandstone or clays. The word chine originates from the Saxon Cinan meaning a gap or yawn. The word is in still use in central Southern England; in East Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight to describe such topographical features. However, bunny is also used to describe a chine in Hampshire, Chewton Bunny is designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest and is rich in woodland wildlife, including a number of Ancient Natural Woodland Indicator species. The mill house in the centre of the site previously used a waterwheel in the Brook to mill grain and the cover given by the site made it a convenient smuggling route for contraband in the past. At the north end of the site the Brook also passes under the first ever reinforced concrete bridge.
I LOVE these save the dates... It also goes with Lynn's original idea, just uses a photostrip instead of just one photo!

This poor Green Darner got into my porch today and the poor fellow got stuck between my windows (see photo below). I tried everything to get him out, finally I got a butter knife and put it between the windows and he clung to it and I pulled him up and to safety, he got on my hand for few photos and then I opened the window and he flew out to freedom!
I'd been to Oxford on previous trips, but had never managed to spend much time inside most of its main colleges so this past May I made sure I saved an afternoon to do this. The light was gray and dull, but I still went around Balliol (a separate set to be posted later) and Magdalen, and especially appreciated the views from the leafy water meadows of Addison's Walk.
"Regarded by some as one of the most beautiful of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges, Magdalen is also one of the most visited. It stands next to the River Cherwell and has within its grounds a deer park and Addison's Walk. Magdalen College School also lies nearby. The large, square Magdalen Tower is a famous Oxford landmark, and it is a tradition since the days of Henry VII that the college choir sings from the top of it at 6 a.m. on May Morning.
The Grove or Deer Park is a large meadow occupies most of the north west of the college's grounds, from the New Buildings and the Grove Quad up to Holywell Ford. During the winter and spring, it is the home of a herd of deer. It is possible to view the meadow (and also the deer) from the path between New Buildings and Grove Quad, and also from the archway in New Buildings.
In the 16th century, long before the introduction of the deer, the grove consisted of gardens, orchards, and bowling greens. During the Civil War, it was used to house a regiment of soldiers. At one point in the 19th century it was home to three traction engines belonging to the works department of the college. By the 20th century it had become well-wooded with many large trees, but most of them were lost to Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s.
The Meadow lies to the east of the college, bounded on all sides by the River Cherwell. In the spring, it is filled with the flower Fritillaria meleagris (commonly known as Snakeshead Fritillary), which gives it an attractive green-purple colour. These flowers grow in very few places, and have been recorded growing in the meadow since around 1785. Once the flowering has finished, the deer are moved in for the Summer and Autumn. In wet winters, some or all of the meadow may flood, as the meadow is lower lying than the surrounding path. All around the edge of the meadow is a tree-lined path, Addison's Walk. It is a beautiful and tranquil walk, favoured by students, dons, and visitors alike.
The Fellows' Garden is located to the north east of the Meadow, directly behind the new building of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. This long and (fairly) narrow garden follows the Cherwell to the edge of the University Parks . In spring, the ground is covered with flowers. In summer, there are some flowers, many different shrubs, and the varied trees provide dappled cover from the sun. It is linked to Addison's Walk by a bridge."
