Unconditional Surrender is a sculpture by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt in August 1945: V-J day in Times Square. Through the help of several Sarasota County veteran's organizations, the 25-foot aluminum statue based on the photograph was donated to the county.

Pippin was surrendered to our rescue (PPCR) at 10 weeks of age because he was severely underweight and couldn’t eat on his own.
Well, all it took was a few days in his foster mom’s house and he quickly figured out that Food is Fabulous!
He started eating and hasn't stopped since :-)
Never surrender! The world is magical place! And never stops to amazes you!

Based on "LaGrange vs. LaGrange" by Mort Künstler.
From “King James Galleries”:
(kingjamesgalleries.com/products/lagrange-vs-lagrange)
“…As with most military conflicts, the call to duty naturally depletes the male population who marches off to war. This often leaves the care of the farms and homesteads in the hands of their able-bodied wives. Sometimes the war comes to town, requiring women to take up arms in defense of their homes and firesides.
In April of 1861 the LaGrange Light Guards of the Fourth Georgia deployed to fight for the Confederacy. This unit was made up of thirteen hundred troops, the majority of LaGrange’s men. Their sudden absence left the town vulnerable to a Union attack. As a result the women of LaGrange eventually formed an all-female militia known as the “Nancy Harts.”
Inexperienced with the use of tactics and firearms, the women turned to A. C. Ware, a local physician who remained in town due to a physical disability, for assistance in their training. He turned to William J. Hardee’s manual, titled Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics. The ladies of LaGrange met twice a week for drilling and target practice. Prizes were awarded for the best shots.
On April 17, 1865 the Nancy Harts marched to the campus of LaGrange Female College to meet the Union cavalry that was advancing on the town. Outgunned and outnumbered, the women peacefully surrendered the town to Union Colonel Oscar H. LaGrange. In return, Union troops spared the town’s homes and properties and focused their destruction on the railroad as it was helpful to the Confederate war effort.
After the war, members of the Nancy Harts returned to their prewar duties, though many were forced to make life-changes because more than a quarter of LaGrange’s enlisted men did not return home. Many of these women joined the LaGrange chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and worked diligently to preserve the memory of their sons and husbands…”

Surrounded on all sides by overwhelming numbers, the surviving Martians have no option but to surrender. The Martian invasion is over, Toyville is victorious... and I can go and lie down in a darkened room for a while.
"Well done, Doctor - I knew we could count on you. Eventually."
THE END

Candid shot of two friends on the street in Hollywood. Saw them and the energy they had and just had to catch that moment.
Unconditional Surrender, or Kiss Statue
Tuna Harbor Park
San Diego, California
After arriving in San Diego about noon and getting into our rental car (a chore made longer by the fact Hertz didn't have what we had requested and made repeated attempts to talk me into upgrading to a luxury car), Ruth Ann and I stopped at Top of the Market restaurant for a very nice lunch over 12 hours after our very early breakfast. The restaurant provided a nice view of San Diego Bay, as well as very good food; immediately north was the USS Midway Museum, part of which can be seen here from Tuna Harbor Park, 700 North Harbor Drive.
The 25-foot statue "Unconditional Surrender" (aka the Kiss Statue) by Seward Johnson, resembles the famous Alfred Eisenstadt photo, "V-J Day in Times Square" but is said to be based on someone else's photo from that day, which marked the end of World War II. According to information on line, the statue is controversial, as many feel it lacks artistic merit and grace. The initial statue was placed in the park, property of the San Diego Unified Port District, in 2007 (the USS Midway Museum opened 2004), and three members of the SDUPD board resigned over the decision to erect this permanent, bronze statue in 2013. The harsh light I had to work with doesn't help the statue's appearance.

Thanks
I want to sleep beneath
Peaceful skies in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head...

Arriving at Collins Lake on a Monday meant we shared the lower lake camping area with one other rig and about 100 Canadian Geese...It was marvelous...That all changed come Wednesday...
Again in one of my favorite places. On of the many beautiful interactive objects. A small moon, where I can lay and listen.

"Unconditional Surrender" is a 25-feet high, painted aluminum sculpture erected in 2007 (it's a traveling sculpture; this photo taken in Sarasota, FL). Also called The Kiss, the 6,000 pound statue was created by world-renowned artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo. The photo was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a sailor kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day. Edith doesn't remember who the sailor was, she just went with the moment.
If any of you will be in NYC on August 14 in any given year, there will be a Kiss-In in Times Square for the anniversary of the end of World War II. Couples are encouraged to kiss in the manner of the Unconditional Surrender sculpture... guys, bring your sailor cap!

244/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Begins with S"
I love acorns, so I was glad for an opportunity to shoot them today. If I'm thinking literally about the challenge, I could say that S is for simplicity, or seasonal, or seed. But in a figurative sense, I believe the acorn represents surrender. John 12:24 says "unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds". The same applies to acorns. A wise woman said it this way:
"We are being asked to trust, to leave the planning to God. God's ultimate plan is as far beyond our imaginings as the oak tree is from the acorn's imaginings.The acorn does what it was made to do, without pestering its maker with questions about when and how and why. We who have been given intelligence and a will and a wide range of wants that can be set against the divine Pattern for Good are asked to believe Him. We are given the chance to trust Him when He says to us, ' ...If any man will let himself be lost for my sake, he will find his true self."
“When will we find it?” we ask.
The answer is “TRUST ME”.
“How will we find it?”
The answer again is, “TRUST ME”.
“Why must I let myself be lost?” we persist.
The answer is:
“LOOK AT THE ACORN AND TRUST ME”.
(Catherine Marshall)
Trust...that's challenging for a control freak like me. Maybe that's part of why I love acorns so much...because they remind me that my job is not to try to control(control is an illusion anyway)...It's to trust the One who knows what He's doing.
