I won a jelly roll of the block fabrics in a giveway so I made a quilt out of them, semi-crazy stitched it, and then gave it away on my blog.

Sweet Surrender – Photo Series
Model: Racheeda2000
Location: Sweet Surrender
Set within a dreamlike coastal landscape, Sweet Surrender unfolds as a visual journey between serenity, intimacy, and quiet strength. The location blends natural elements—rock formations, flowing water, lush greenery, and open sea views—into a poetic environment that feels both secluded and timeless.
Racheeda2000 moves through the scenery with effortless elegance, her presence calm yet expressive. Whether reclining on sunlit wooden decks, resting near gentle campfires inside coastal caves, or standing poised against vast ocean horizons, she becomes an organic part of the environment rather than a subject placed within it.
Soft natural lighting, combined with carefully chosen perspectives, highlights subtle emotions: contemplation, confidence, and surrender to the moment. The contrast between open landscapes and intimate spaces creates a cinematic rhythm—wide shots emphasize freedom and scale, while close-ups draw attention to refined details, facial expressions, and posture.
Sweet Surrender is not just a location, but a mood: a quiet escape where time slows, nature embraces the subject, and beauty reveals itself through stillness and balance.

Anyone who knows their stuff in drum and bass has been eagerly awaiting the release of Joanna Syze’s sophomore album, Surrender. Over three years in the making and containing collaborations with the likes of RedPill, Barbarix, Chris.SU, Mizo and, of course, two tracks with the incomparable AKOV.
Surrender has obviously been worth the wait. Since its Beatport exclusive release on Friday, it’s shot to number four on the Beatport DnB Top 100 and a number of the singles from the album have charted as well. Rene LaVice featured three of Surrender‘s tracks on his BBC1 radio show and other singles have received high praise from Bassrush and District Bass. If that’s not enough, Joanna’s heart-rending story of how the album came to be was featured on UKF. There’s a reason it’s so deep, dark and emotional. You can check out that story here.
Another reason Surrender turned out so well is the collaborators who worked with her on this project, and her collab with AKOV on “Archangel” is a testament to that. The pair also worked with Volatile Cycle on another track called “Shadows” but “Archangel” is a real highlight in an album of highlights. The track combines Syze’s cinematic flare and AKOV’s heavier-than-heavy bass drops and neurofunk synths. In a recent interview with Bassrush, AKOV said he loves to bring a “crunchy” sound to his beats, and that’s definitely present here. If that wasn’t enough, Syze’s heart-rending and goth-tinged vocals float over and then wind around the beats and synths with some really interesting production. They appear both in the ambient sound space and in the forefront of the track, creating an effect of feeling her voice in multiple places, as an angel floating around the crunchy, crunchy bass. If you don’t get goosebumps from “Archangel,” you may not be alive yourself.
There really isn’t an album out right now like Surrender. It’s innovative and different, having been produced in a way that may not have been seen in drum and bass before. It’s a complete work and can be listened to as a full album, not just for its individual tracks. That said, each track also has its own unique vibe and each one can stand on its own as a massive tune. It’s truly one of the best LPs in 2019 so far, and “Archangel” with AKOV helps to inch the album out that much farther. It is a must must must cop.
Surrender is out now on Othercide Records on Beatport exclusive and will be released worldwide on February 22. Some singles like “Shadows,” “Dark Days,” “Nothing Lasts Forever” and the album’s title track can be streamed on YouTube or Soundcloud.

It was agreed that if my 4-H Cloverbuds could reach a goal set for them this year they could throw a pie in my face at our last meeting. They surpassed the goal 5 times over. I was in for it! Thankfully, I only agreed to one pie. It was actually pretty fun and they practically licked me clean.

A U.S. Army color guard and firing detail from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) were part of the opening ceremonies April 9, 2015, for a special observance and reenactment for the 150th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Va. The Old Guard served at Appomattox in 1865. The event featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, such as those shown here, and thousands of spectators. (Photos courtesy Kim and Mary Jane Holien)

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
