MS Iona is an Excellence-class cruise ship in service for P&O Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc. Built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, she was delivered in October 2020, becoming the line's newest ship at a cost of £730 million. At 184,089 GT, the ship is the largest to ever operate for P&O Cruises, and to operate specifically for the British market. She is the first of two identical ships built by Meyer Werft for P&O Cruises, with the second, Arvia, due to enter service in 2022. Thank you to Wikipedia:
P&O has some lovely ships, there's no doubt about it. With a capacity of 5602 passengers though it's a bit too crowded for us!
A lot of people bash the Canon 18-55mm kit lens, more than I think it deserves. It might have a few issues but unless you're a pixel peeper it seems to do a pretty good job.

My daughter took this of me and my friend thinking in a park in Cadillac, MI...I'm the one in sunglasses...HBM
I think this year the chainsaw might be appropriate in the back of the car. Hate that telephone pole and this really is a good spot to shoot. This was the inaugural run for 611 last year. Saturday it will follow the same path to Lynchburg. will be fun to see it on the road again.
Think this wee beauty is a baby but could be wrong
Love photography especially when you photograph one of these beauties
Eva: Hey Dave, I think there may be something off to my left.
Dave: I think there's something off to every direction.
Eva: Don't get too metaphysical with me. I was meaning that there is something important off to my left.
Dave: What makes you say that?
Eva: The bird told me.
Dave: Pardon?
Eva: You know, the bird told me. In the mural. I think it's pointing me towards a greater truth.
Dave: Really? I thought it was just a really cool mural painted under the bridge.
Eva: And you would also have been one of those people telling Robert Langdon that the Fibonacci sequence was just a giant coincidence.
Dave: You do realize the "the Da Vinci Code" was a work of fiction?
Eva: Fiction schmiction! This bird is telling me that something important is over that way and I'm going to listen to it.

This summer Saskatoon comissioned local born artist Jerry Rugg (aka BirdO) to do a giant mural under one of the bridges. When I saw the mural I had a feeling it would show up in Eva's 52 week project. The giant birds were too much of a symbol to ignore. Yesterday we made the trip there to do the photos, and Eva made friends with a very pleasant woman who happened to be the artist's mother. She mentioned how her son sis not yet have a full panorama of the painting, so I tried my hand at one after getting this shot of Eva. The lighting was tough, but the whole mural is linked in the comments below.
Seemingly random happenings like this make me realize just how small the world is. It has also reinforced how sharing my photography, including the taking of the photos, has changed many things in my life including moments lived and opportunities taken. For my self this photo is now more than just a photo of Eva in front of a mural. To me it is more about the story behind the photo, and the community that art can bring together.
More information about the mural and the artist are linked in the panoramic photo below.
Dianthus (/daɪˈænθəs/ dy-AN-thəs)[1] is a genus of about 340 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native mainly to Europe and Asia, with a few species in north Africa and in southern Africa, and one species (D. repens) in arctic North America. Common names include carnation (D. caryophyllus), pink (D. plumarius and related species) and sweet william (D. barbatus).
They grew well at home but like most plants sold in garden centers here it is short lived in Florida.
Nothing says spring quite like the arrival of baby animals. Here is a cute little fox kit holding a meal from mom and dad. I think he was more interested in playing than eating.
The Beach outside our Beach House on Friday Afternoon.. I was so happy there were clouds & a bit of blue!
Friday was Gorgeous & Saturday was wonderful up until early evening..I got a "wimpy" sunset...but I guess it is not in the cards for me to have a sunset yet..:-)
I think this is (was) a 360 Spyder although I am sure enthusiasts will either put me right or agree. There was no engine in this example and it sits on very non-standard wheels.
I think this was four or five horizontal frames from left to right stitched together in Photoshop. Photographed from another bird blind after observing a Great Blue Heron hunting along the water's edge.
"Cheesequake State Park is a 1,610-acre (2.52 mi2) state park located in Old Bridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, in the United States.
The New Jersey Legislature allocated $100,000 in 1937 to purchase property for the park. The state first acquired a 250-acre (100 ha) tract of farmland and a Civil War-era mansion from the Favier brothers in January 1938. Additional lands were acquired over the next two years, and the Civil Conservation Corps, part of the Works Progress Administration, helped develop the property. The park was opened in June 1940. It is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry and is part of the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail Route.
The name Cheesequake has been variously described as deriving from the Lenape words Cheseh-oh-ke ("upland"), Chichequaas ("upland village"), or Chiskhakink ("at the land that has been cleared").
The park's lowlands consist of freshwater and saltwater marsh and a tidal estuary near the mouth of Cheesequake Creek on the Raritan Bay. It also includes hills of Northeastern hardwood forest, open fields, and a white cedar swamp. It includes a small parcel of Atlantic coastal pine barrens, consisting of pine forest in sandy soil, an isolated section of the much larger New Jersey Pine Barrens. It also includes the 6-acre (24,000 m2) Hooks Creek Lake, a freshwater lake where recreational fishing features trout, largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish. Crabbing is also available at the park.
The park includes an interpretive center and five marked trails for both hiking and mountain biking that run throughout the wooded hills and across long wooden bridges across marshland. The park has designated camping areas available by reservation. Swimming and boating are summertime activities, while sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are available in wintertime.
The Garden State Parkway runs through the park near exit 120 but offers no direct access. A road runs underneath the parkway to connect the northern and southern sides of the park. Parts of the park, including a picnic area, are visible from the parkway. Aberdeen-Matawan station (New Jersey Transit) is located about two miles east of the park." (Wikipedia)

as you probably already know, i don't have my camera. it needs to be fixed and it should take a month. it's been one week already and i miss taking pictures so much. today, as i was going from school, the sun was shining. after extremely long time. the sun showed it's face i barely remembered and it made me happy. first thought was-i wish i had my camera. and it made me sad that i didn't have it.
why should not having my camera make me sad? i still see what i see. and it should still make me happy. i realized i take pictures because i want to share them. that's also good, but i don't always take them for myself, i think of sharing it first. i feel like if i don't share a moment, it's meaningless. i don't want to. i want to experience it, without capturing it, without sharing it.
so this month, is for myself. i won't be sharing. i share so much sometimes. i won't take pictures of moments, of feelings. i will experience it, i will feel it, i will live it. and for once, i will keep the memory only in my heart, not in a picture, not in a blog post, not in sharing. it will be fully mine.
some moments just can't be captured, or shared, or said. it has to stay unknown to everyone, but the one whom it belongs to. this month belongs to me and my heart. sharing everything with Him, in different ways than photography this time.
--------------------------------
also, i have photoshop. and i have no idea how to use it, i seriously suck. i hope to get better. picnik was so easy to use and i had my way of editing. it's hard to get used to something new, but i hope to fall in love with it soon. if you have any tips, i'd be happy to hear them.
this will be replaced or reedited soon.

I think the Kigers are the most highly sought after mustangs in the west. Not a lot of color variation---these two are about it---but really tough little horses.
