It's been five years since I saw two of my best friends from high school, and they both live in SoCal, so we met for dinner at Hermosa Beach (coincidentally, our high school reunion was tonight back in our hometown). It was a lovely reunion made even better with one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen.
I like how they were posing and the overall composition.
The right one is a female called "Bones", you can see the name written on her harness. :)
Last week, my daughter Crystal and her husband Richard were invited to lunch at the White House! This is a photo of Crystal, with the portrait of Hillary Clinton.
Back when she was a tiny baby I used to tell her that she could one day grow up and be in the White House. And she did! (Okay, it's not quite what I meant, but you know what I mean.)

ODC-Two Of A Kind
Amazon Anne & Eve were having a conversation about this old phone I use in some of my Halloween shots.
Found these two guys while I was going down an alley off Victoria Street. They just happened to be in the window while I walked by and they let me get up real close... then they flew off.
My two little dogs... Comet and Daisy
I hadn't realised that the markings on their heads are so similar, just different colours and a mirror-image
Picture highlights from two weeks in Exmoor.
Struggled with my photography over these two weeks didn't get as many shots as usual for a holiday.... hope you like some of the highlights.....

Taken through the dirty wet window while mama bird was in the yard.I assume looking for worms .Lots of mud due to the non stop rain.
Pictured here is another one of 58 bronze sculptures on a bridge in Oslo's Vigeland Sculpture park. It obviously shows two men. The dominant motif among the bronze figures on the bridge is the relationship between man and woman and between adults and children. All sculptures were created before 1943 by Gustav Vigeland, Norway's most famous sculptor.
Personally, I really admired the beautiful sculptures especially of the male body of the norwegian artist that can also be found elsewhere in the park.

East Hickory Street facing west. The two wooden buildings on the right were once the location of Steve's Barbeque (destroyed by fire--but good and very hot barbeque) and the original location of Weldon Burgoon's Saddle Shop. Mr. Burgoon moved across the street to the west. Note that the Courthouse is missing its spire, due to renovation. That's Wells Fargo (formerly the First State Bank) at the top of the hill to the left. UPDATE: This area has since been rebuilt and rejuvenated, although it looks much the same. Bars and restaurants, plus new apartment houses have brought in new businesses and new people,. Sadly, Mr. Burgoon's store has closed. It will be missed. The building at the extreme left is now the Patterson-Appleton Center, a fine art gallery and arts center. It was built as a power plant in the 1920's. The building at the extreme right edge of the photo was originally part of the Diamond-Kimbell Mill, which was destroyed by fire--and this cost a fire fighter his life. The building as been rebuilt into an attractive office building. UPDATE: Mr. Burgoon has since passed away, and he will be missed. His building is now the site of Applejax's Liquor Store, a very good liquor store.
the sunlight rides the waves
of an incoming tide
we stand alone on the beach
locked within one another's embrace
two lovers at the portal of love's eternity..
just as the waves
stroke the shore in flawless rhythm
two hearts rise in one matchless crest
there is refuge in one another's embrace
two lovers that stand alone on the beach..
eyes locked, breathless rhythm of hearts
dancing in the wind, splash of waves coming in
a promise to love and behold till eternity,
a perfect strength to carry on forever..
Two photos taken at the future George Street stop site. Enquiries made of a site foreman have revealed that at this point George Street will be rebuilt at a different level to accommodate the correct levels of the track slab and slab.
CAMP BLANDING, Fla. – After a punishing, 72-hour challenge that started with an Army Physical Fitness Test and weapons qualification, continued with warrior skill stations and an air assault obstacle course, and concluded with a 10-mile ruck march and sergeants major appearance board, 12 Army Reserve Soldiers can proudly say they completed the 2017 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition.
Brig. Gen. Deborah L. Army Brig. Gen. Deborah L. Kotulich, commanding general, 143d ESC, personally congratulated the participants during an awards ceremony conducted March 11, 2017, at Camp Blanding, Fla.
“I am thrilled by what you did to get here and impressed by what you accomplished here,” said Kotulich, a career officer who completed Air Assault school while attending West Point and, decades later, earned the German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency. “I encourage everyone to share your experiences with your fellow Soldiers. The skills you demonstrated during this competition may one day save your life or the lives your battle buddies in combat.”
Although all 12 Soldiers received and deserved high praise from the 143d ESC’s senior leadership, only two earned the right to earn the title, “Best Warrior.”
Spc. Alisha Howell, an Orlando, Fla., native serving as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear specialist at Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 143d ESC, won first place in the Soldier category, while Sgt. James A. Smith, a Bay Springs, Miss., native assigned to the 647th Transportation Company as a motor transport operator, took home the trophy in the noncommissioned officer category. Howell and Smith will leave for New Orleans in April to compete at the 377th Theater Sustainment Command level.
“I am confident that these two Soldiers will proudly represent the 143d ESC at the next level,” said Kotulich. “I am also especially honored to be associated with every Soldier here who took precious time from his or her job, school and family to participate and support this annual event. Your courage and commitment exemplify the finest qualities of an Army Reserve Soldier.”
