“I don't think there are enough words in the world that exist to express exactly just how much I love my son! He's right there in the front of my soul, he can turn me into an eagle, a lioness, a tigress, a swan! A goof or a queen! There's no underestimating just how much I love him; I surround him like the ocean surrounds the ships! I never wanted to change the world, until he came along and showed me that he deserves a better world to live in!”
C. JoyBell C.
Spanish vesion:
"Creo que no existen suficientes palabras en el mundo para expresar exactamente lo mucho que amo a mi hijo ! El esta allí, enfrente de mi alma, el puede convertirme en un águila, una leona, una tigresa, un cisne! Una boba o una reina! No hay subestimación de lo mucho que lo amo. Le rodeo como el océano rodea las naves! Nunca quise cambiar el mundo, hasta que llegó y me mostró que el merece un mundo mejor para vivir!"

Please be aware of the Punk Intelligence sweeping the world again right now. Punks can turn average essays into progressive political reports. They are intuitive about every emotion and reaction before anyone else and don’t even get me started on what they an do to an typical run of the mill sort of hair follicle. Punk Intelligence has already changed the world in ways you likely aren’t aware of and will continue to change it. Do not underestimate Punk Intelligence of you will be swept away in a maelstrom of lyrics, cascading around your skull as if they belonged only there.

The first brewery in Texas. Located in La Grange, Texas
Here's more info:
No one should ever underestimate the impact that German immigrants have had on Texas. German settlers were in Texas from the beginning of the Colonial period, but at the end of the Mexican War large numbers of Germans and others immigrated to Texas because of the mild climate and cheap land.
Map Link
One such German immigrant was Heinrich Kreische. He arrived in Fayette County in 1849 and purchased 172 acres on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River above La Grange. This land included the land where the Dawson/Meir tomb is located. He honored those who gave their life for Texas by maintaining the tomb his whole life.
Photo Link
Mr. Kreische was a master stone mason and over a period time built a three story stone home on the bluff. He was also involved in the construction of many stone structures in Fayette County. I've noticed in my travels that German stone masons have been involved in almost every major stone building in Texas in the 19th century, from the Capitol Building in Austin to the Fort in Fort Davis, Texas.
Heinrich Kreische
In 1860 Mr. Kreische began building one of the first breweries in Texas. He cleverly built it in a ravine below his house that was feed water from a spring that he used in the production of beer. By the middle of the Civil War the brewery was producing beer in a nine step brewing process with an ingenious gravity feed water system. When a new batch of beer was ready a large banner was raised that said "Frisch Auf" (Freshen Up). This was an invitation to the community to come to the bluff and enjoy a picnic, dancing, games and a stein or two or three of "Kreische's Bluff Beer"!
In 1882 Heinrich Kreische, German immigrant, master stone mason, and brew master, was killed in a wagon accident.

Flores de Santa Gemita - 09-2022 - Enhanced-12
The Biesbosch was created when 300 square kilometres of polder lands were submerged in the St. Elizabeth flood in the year 1421. Before this, the area was called Grote Hollandse Waard, containing cultivated land and a number of villages. The more than a century old dikes collapsed because of lack of maintenance, due to the difficult economic situation in the area, and the difficulties between the political entities within (especially the Hook and Cod (civil) wars).
The Grote Waard in 1421, just before the St. Elizabeth flood.
One of the key factors in the flooding of the Grote Waard was the creation of a new dike in the southwest of the polder. The ground beneath this dike was unstable, which was a known (but underestimated) fact in this period of time. However, combined with political rivalry and financial issues, this resulted in the creation of an unstable dike, located at one of the key corners of the Grote Waard. It was the only place where high tides coming directly from the sea could penetrate the land deeply and could reach a primary "keystone" dike of the Grote Waard (most of the primary dikes were used as protection against rivers instead).
Biesbosch wetlands.
Very high river levels combined with a severe storm surge coming in from the sea caused the collapse of the southwest dike and several riverdikes, resulting in the flooding of most of the Grote Hollandse Waard. After the flood, three areas remained: the Island of Dordrecht to the west, the Land van Altena (with the city of Woudrichem) to the east, and the brackish swamps of the Biesbosch in between. Many villages (by tradition 72) were swallowed by the flood and were lost, causing (again by tradition) either 2,000 or 10,000 casualties. Some towns had more luck and submerged, only to rise above the water later on.

It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.

Lilies - Santa Gemita - Laowa 65mm - Nov 13 2022 - Enhanced-5
Düsseldorf, Martin-Luther-Platz,
Grossvater und Enkel
Josef Hammerschmidt hatte das Moltke-Denkmal einst mit zwei Figuren(gruppen) umrahmt: auf der einen Seite ein jubelnder Krieger, auf der anderen der erste Großvater mit Enkel. Sie sollten das „Wagen und Wägen“ darstellen. „Schmied und Knaben waren als eindringliche Mahnung an Deutschlands Jugend gedacht, die bloß nicht den tödlichen Ernst und die Grausamkeit eines jeden Krieges unterschätzen sollte. Denn der Junge hält ein Spielzeugschwert in der Hand – und sein Großvater hatte einen Krieg erlebt und mahnt seinen Enkel, die euphorischen Worte der Politiker und Kriegsbefürworter kritisch zu hinterfragen. Vermutlich sagt er etwas wie: „Krieg ist kein Spiel, mein Junge“.
In den kreuzförmigen Sockel, auf dem der Schmied heute sitzt, ist eine Tafel eingelassen. Darauf ist zu lesen: „Jong, jangk en de Aldestadt on hol mech fönef Alt“. Denn der Schmied hält fünf Finger hoch – und so leitete der Volksmund den „Bier-hol-Auftrag“ an den Enkel als Anekdote ab. Rheinischer Humor ist, aus einem Antikriegsdenkmal eine lustige Episode zu lesen.
Düsseldorf, Martin Luther Square,
grandfather and grandson
Josef Hammerschmidt once framed the Moltke monument with two (groups of) figures: on one side a jubilant warrior, on the other the first grandfather with grandchildren. They should represent the "car and weigh". "Schmied und Knaben was intended as an urgent reminder to Germany's youth not to underestimate the deadly seriousness and cruelty of every war. Because the boy is holding a toy sword in his hand - and his grandfather had experienced a war and warns his grandson to critically question the euphoric words of politicians and supporters of the war. He'll probably say something like, "War isn't a game, my boy."
A plaque is embedded in the cross-shaped base on which the blacksmith sits today. It reads: "Jong, jangk en de Aldestadt on hol mech fönef Alt". Because the blacksmith holds up five fingers - and so the vernacular derived the "beer fetch order" from the grandson as an anecdote. Rhenish humor is reading a funny episode from an anti-war memorial.
Location: Approx. 30 kilometers south of Reykjavík
It is dangerous to walk around here. Yet many tourists seem to underestimate that.
If you enlarge the photo and look into the water, you can see it's *boiling* hot.

This is a tribute to Sebastian who is a very important part of my life!
The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live. - Myles Munroe
The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. - Michel de Montaigne
If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society. -
Joni Eareckson Tada
It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life. - Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
- Inspired by this music Video -

If there's one plant that, despite its fame, is still underestimated, it's today's hidden beauty. The flower is a marvel and a feast for the eyes at every stage of its development. There are also a few impressive details.
The plant has been used as a vegetable or medicinal plant for over 5,000 years. The ancient Egyptians even offered them to the gods as an offering.
It was the medicinal plant of the year 2015. It lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels and helps with colds, coughs and insect bites.
And last but not least (hence the name of the picture) it is incredibly rich in vitamins (from A to E everything is included) and antioxidants.
In addition, it gives every dish that certain touch because it acts as a natural flavor enhancer (bye bye glutamate).
I am pleased to be able to present them here today. Ladies and gentlemen: the onion.
Wenn es eine Pflanze gibt, die trotz ihrer Berühmtheit immernoch unterschätzt wird, dann ist das unsere heutige versteckte Schönheit. Die Blüte allein ist ein Wunderwerk und in jeder Phase ihrer Entwicklung eine Augenweide. Hinzu kommen noch ein paar beeindruckende Details.
Die Pflanze kommt bereits seit über 5.000 Jahren als Gemüse- oder auch Heilpflanze zum Einsatz. Die alten Äqypter haben sie sogar den Göttern als Opfergabe dargebracht.
Sie war die Heilpflanze des Jahres 2015, senkt den Blutdruck, den Blutzuckerspiegel und hilft bei Erkältungen, Husten oder auch bei Insektenstichen.
Und nicht zuletzt (daher der Name des Bildes) ist sie unfassbar reich an Vitaminen (von A bis E ist alles dabei) und Antioxidantien.
Darüber hinaus verleiht sie jedem Gericht erst die gewisse Note, denn sie wirkt als natürlicher Geschmacksverstärker (bye bye Glutamat)..
Ich freue mich sie heute hier präsentieren zu dürfen. Meine Damen und Herren: Die Zwiebel.

Willemsbrug and a view over Rotterdam
The Willemsbrug is a bridge over the Nieuwe Maas in the center of Rotterdam.
The current bridge is the second Willemsbrug and was completed in 1981.
According to you'rs truly, this bridge is underestimated. We see so many pictures of the Erasmusbrug, we almost forget there is another big bridge in Rotterdam. The splashing red colour makes it a nice object for tilt shift photography.
