I think this must be 33 ft Epic schooner built in 2014 designed by Ed Louchard. It was built by the Community Boat Project which has sought for over a decade to create the ultimate non-motorized educational vessel. Schooner-rigged, rowing 8 oars and capable of the multi-day unsupported sailing expedition, Epic is an ultimate teaching platform for all ages. Its home port is Port Hadlock, WA. I took this photo at Port Townsend's 2022 Wooden Boat Festival. woodenboat.org/plan-your-visit/

What would your reaction be when you stumble something not on its proper place .. Just asking ? ^.^

Glancing through my gallery you might think that we have an abundance of insect life in our surroundings. Nothing could be further from the truth and I struggle to find much at all day to day, especially at the moment during our anticyclonic gloom. One species that does seem to have done OK is the mother of pearl moth - patania ruralis. As I go around the garden watering with the hose, I inevitably disturb one or two moths and this one flew out yesterday and secreted itself amongst the Japanese azalea leaves. Usually these moths in flight travel fast and disappear before I can pinpoint their position. But I managed to spot this one's hiding place and got a snap or two, even with our dark, grey skies overhead. These mother of pearl moths have emerged from a clump of nettles which we grew in a container pot. Quite often they have flapped back into the nettles which have kindly stung me as I strive for a snap or two. This time however, there were no such hazards.

En Castellano:

Si tu ID de Yahoo está localizada en Singapur, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólo podrás ver lo que Flickr llama ‘contenido seguro’ (safe search) basado en las condiciones de servicio locales. O sea que no puedes desconectar el filtro famoso Safe Search.

En otras palabras, eso significa que los usuarios alemanes no pueden acceder a las fotos de Flickr a las que no se haya añadido la ‘bandera’ (flag) de ‘segura’... Sólo flores y paisajes y gatos haciendo el tonto para los alemanes.

¡Apoya a los usuarios! ¡Apoya la libertad de expresión! Copia y sube esta imagen a tu cuenta. Al menos molestaremos.

 

In English:

If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.

In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...

We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!

 

En français:

Si vous avez un compte Yahoo de Singapore, Hong Kong, de Corée ou d'Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui ne risquent pas de choquer, vous ne pourrez plus voir celles qui sont classées d'accès "modéré" ou "restreint". Autrement dit, les Allemands, Coréens, etc. ne peuvent plus voir autre chose que les photos qui sont classées "Safe" par Flickr.

Pour protester, il faut copier cette image, la poster dans votre compte, commenter celle des autres, mettre des "faves", etc

Early in the morning I still get a little bit nervous

Fighting my anxiety constantly I try to control it

Even when I know it's been forever I can still feel the spin

Hurts when I remember and I never wanna feel it again

 

Don't know if you get it cause I can't express how thankful I am

That you were always with me when it hurts I know that you understand

 

I don't wanna lose control

Nothing I can do anymore

Trying every day when I hold my breath

Spinning out in space pressing on my chest

I don't wanna lose control

 

Sometimes I still think it's coming but I know it's not

Trying to breathe in and then out but the air gets caught

Cause even though I'm older now and I know how to shake off the past

I wouldn't have made it if I didn't have you holding my hand

 

I don't wanna lose control

Nothing I can do anymore

Trying every day when I hold my breath

Spinning out in space pressing on my chest

I don't wanna lose control

 

I need you to know I would never be this strong without you

You've seen how I've grown you took all my doubt

Cause you were home

 

I don't wanna lose control

There's nothing I can do anymore

I don't wanna lose control

Nothing I can do anymore (anymore), anymore

Trying every day when I hold my breath

Spinning out in space pressing on my chest

I don't wanna lose control

  

Shell and Autumn loved the new canopy bed.

 

"I think we could sit here and talk ALL night, don't you, Autumn?" Shell asked.

 

"I think so, too, Shell! The canopy is so magical! I love lace! And the coverlet- oh! It's so dainty!"

 

"What's this I hear about talking all night, you two?!" I laughed because little bears are always talking. "I think talking through naptime will be enough today!"

 

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!

 

Earlier in the year, I bought a bunch of "stuff" at the auction we frequent. There were pieces of a little canopy bed, made by The House of Miniatures that I thought was worth a try putting back together. Let me just say that miniatures in ANY sense of the word are difficult and fiddly things! But I learned a lot and managed it! Ken was terrified to see me drilling with the tiniest bit he had!

 

The original tiny mattress and canopy were an old and dirty fabric. I happened to have one little bit of a vintage fabric that I thought was perfect for the mattress cover, and managed to make a pillow with the remainder. The tiny coverlet here is a dainty vintage lady's handkerchief, and the canopy is a vintage doily.

 

(I am averaging 1 post for an hour. Ugh. AT&T sucks)

I think in every human culture parents, especially mothers, are highly respected and loved. In my flock, among lovebirds, mother Tauno is no execption. She is definitely respected and loved, also by me :), and she is never left alone. There are always either her spouse Lorenzo, or two other younger males, Meri or Pyry, with her. I don't know, if she remembers, who her youngsters are, but from the four of them, Tiuku has very warm relationship with his mother. Tauno is the oldest lovebird in my flock, the undisputed queen of it. I don't know her exact age, but it is somewhere between 10...13 years.

Think this girl went a little overboard with her rouge.

 

Actually, I'm wearing all red today and feel about as out-there as this! So not a red person.

...some days we wear pink, think pink, and all things are pink.

 

This weekend lots of stuff to wear and decorate with is ready for you like this record set for Fifty Linden Friday from Astralia, these curtains and babygirl skybox from Lagom, this body suit from Cosmic Dust, and these heels from Phedora!

I don't think I've ever seen a Eurasian jay just hanging out at the park. They are far too fast to be captured usually, but there you go. Nothing is as usual these days...

 

Just read about a very peculiar behaviour of the jay: "In order to keep its plumage free from parasites, it lies on top of anthills with spread wings and lets its feathers be sprayed with formic acid." (Wikipedia). Has someone ever seen this?

 

Oder sitzt bei euch zumindest mal ein Eichelhäher minutenlang am Futterhaus, wie dieser hier am Zaun?

Where there is great love there is Hope.

"In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.

At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.

We listen carefully as it gathers strength.

We hear a sweetness.

The word is Peace."

Fourth and last in my series of digital art images dedicated to this holiday season.

(thank you Shannon for this song. I absolutely love it)

 

I reached a million views a while ago:

And never got to thank every single one of you.

I mean it when I say I cannot put into words how many good people I have met through this site, how much I have learned, and how much I have taken out of this.

You all, every single one of you, do have such a place in my heart.

I can't imagine my life if I have never started putting my work on here.

That may sound odd, but I can't imagine it.

 

AND IF YOU ARE OUT THERE

I think I ran into someone who knows me from this site today.

I was crossing the cross walk here at school and I passed you, whoever you are, brown haired girl carrying a camera?

I think you must have recognized me or something because of the way you were watching me....so if you read this, hello, and I am really praying I smiled at you as I passed. I know I was on the phone.

:)

  

(I do apologize for this, I was without a tripod and remote so this was all I could manage)

 

Happy Easter everyone.
