Breathing in, I touch the sorrow I have caused.
Breathing out, I hold it with compassion.
Breathing in, I smile at the miracle of being.
Breathing out, I ask—why not joy?
Many years ago at the Saarbrücken library I started reading my kid a story from a book of Russian fairy tales. It was quite long (a story of twists and turns it was) so we left the pretty princess emprisonned in an impregnable copper tower to be delivered by her hardy hearted suitor on the next Saturday. Damnation... the book was gone. And the next week it was not back yet. It didn'tshow up the week afterwards either. Then we moved out of Saarbrücken, and to this day, wonder how the story went on. And this is why I insist on owning the books I read. The facade here reminded me of the copper tower, but that still doesn't tell me the end of the story.

Wyaralong Dam is one of our newer dams and sits between Beaudesert and Boonah in what's known as the Scenic Rim of South East Queensland. It's been very wet up here lately and the filling of our dams is one of the positives from our rainy season. You never know when a bad drought will hit, as it did in the early 2000's when dam levels got to their lowest ebb, matched only by severe water restrictions at their highest ebb!
As you can see from this shot taken today, 16 December Wyaralong is spilling, as is Moogerah Dam up the road in the Fassifern Valley.
BTW....there is a pile of Pelicans sitting on top of the dam. What's the correct name for a pile of them.....well, here are your options -
"A group of pelicans is called a pod, squadron, brief, pouch, or scoop"
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me

Theodore Roosevelt Branch Library (Closed). Jackson St. side, north of 25th Ave. Most likely built 1930.
Ok first things first, I'am not a fan of this promotion, I know it makes good business sense for Lego, but I resigned myself to not chasing mr gold down or paying any extra cash to get him.
So why is there a wopping great picture of him above... Well believe it or not I found him in my local store after only buying 5 packs, after picking myself off the floor I had a decision sell or keep? I normally buy one box of each series,but with this series and the mr g promo I decided not to and save some money ( as I would never get one so why try ) which is why I bought the loose packets. Can I just say even now I can't believe I picked one out at random ( no feeling the bag honest ! ) and then I thought this is how Lego wants kids to feel when they find one happy beyond belief.
So I am keeping him, so that every time I look at him I can feel 7 years old again....

American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) Community Garden, Kelowna Rec Field, Kelowna, BC.
Can't be sure of the gender or maturity of this bird and others in the series at this time of year. Was hoping that bill colour might be a clue; turns out it's not. Here's an interesting piece on why:
(What does bill color mean to a goldfinch? - FeederWatch)
The lotus is coming out unspoiled from the mud just like a gentleman who can keep himself unspotted from the world.
Why I love Lotus,It was a great poem in Song Dynasty (960-1279)
Translating to English is followings,
There are too many lovely flowers in the world.
Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemum only.
People have been interested in peony since Tang Dynasty.
But I do like lotus that is clean even growing in the muddy pond.
It is so pure, delicate and bright.
The lotus is consistent, continuous and coherent deep inside.
It appears to be straight, proper and honest.
It gives a fantastically good smell and people could even sense its excellent smell far away.
It has no unnecessary branches.
It can be only appreciated distantly but not touched.
Kinda ran out of full groups I could do, so I've resorted to random groups of random minifigs. So in this one we have:
Wolverine - Came across this combo while doing another thing, it's actually why I decided to start doing this kinda fig barf.
Hera Syndulla - I've had this one knocking about for a while, just never got to rendering it.
Rick Grimes - Again, had him around for a while, but I managed to get him in his iconic pose for this pic.
Suicide Squad Harley Quinn - Not much to say about her, just a combo of Harley Quinn parts.
The 11th Doctor (Time of the Doctor) - Though this one has been done in a set, I thought I'd take a whirl at a more accurate version.
Green Lantern (Abin Sur) - Mecabricks finally got around to adding more of the DC CMF pieces, this one works quite well for Abin Sur. I imagine this look is from when he was in his prime.
And that's the lot. As always, please lemme know what you think and if it's worth me doing anymore in the future :D
17 families, broken hearted,
A cherished baby too soon departed,
17 mothers' hearts are breaking
Whose arms should have a baby - not be aching.
Now we must ask ourselves - why 17?
Too long we have left this suffering unseen.

Best if viewed large. Photo taken this morning. It was raining and they were soaking wet. Didn't bother them at all.

Why is it that when I say enough is enough, I go and find a bench I haven't taken before.
This is down at the beach tucked behind a hedge with a gorgeous sea view, but far enough away from the crowds. It's also very comfortable, I gave it a test drive!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
This image looks north-west from above the Tasman Sea into the Dee Why Headland area. In the lower left of the image is the 25m North Curl Curl rock pool (with permanent large rock feature in the middle of it!). Man-made intervention in its construction has been minimal and wildswimmingaustralia.com describes it as the most natural-feeling man-made pool their reporter had ever swum in.
Further round in the bay on the left a set of concrete steps can be seen leading up to a sheltered building. It houses the North Curl Curl Life Saving Club.
The Dee Why Headland extends off to the north (right above). It is a sensitive coastal ecosystem, providing an important wildlife corridor between Curl Curl (to the south) and Dee Why Lagoons (to the north). The rugged sandstone headland boasts spectacular views south to Manly and north to beyond Long Reef.
Beyond the northern end of the Headland sits Dee Why Lagoon, which makes up some 40% of the Dee Why Wildlife Refuge, an extremely significant area for local and migratory birds (from afar as Japan and China). The rest of the Refuge is made up primarily of swamp-based bushland, but also includes the coastal dunes that separate the lagoon from the sea.
Atop the headland and reaching inland are the northern Sydney suburbs of North Curl Curl and Dee Why, with a combined population of some 26,000 people. They sit some 18 km north-east of Sydney's central business district and the world-famous harbour.
I was aboard a DHC-2 Beaver floatplane flying north en route to the Palm Beach Water Airport on an afternoon flight. As you can see from the sunlight angle, from a photographic perspective the views would be better during a morning flight north with the sun behind you. Stay the day and the afternoon return flight is inland and you get great views over the coastal communities to the sea.
