"I was pretty much perfect at the vet's so why do I have to wear this cone of shame? It bangs into my doggy door so I can't go out when I want to and I got stuck in my crate when I went there for some peace. No, Mom, I won't look at you - you are invisible!"

Yesterday's post was indeed an elastic band which I found discarded on the desk. It had rolled itself into that very convenient shape. Do you know what this is? Perhaps the icon will tell you. The texture is by Weisimel and called wooden wounds.

I hope your Sunday is a happy one. I will be buried in words again but I am getting there.

"British Soldiers in the Battle of Princeton
4th Brigade under Lt. Colonel Charles Mawheed
This Brigade entered Princeton on January 2, 1777, to take over the garrisoning of the town from the already departed 2nd Brigade under Brigadier General Leslie, and it was apparently quite unfamiliar with the locale, as demonstrated by the failure to re-establish a picket post at the Quaker Road (General Leslie had placed 100 men on alert duty there).
The 4th Brigade consisted of the following units:
17th Regiment of British Foot - about 246 men
40th Regiment of British Foot - about 333 men
55th Regiment of British Foot - about 116 men
1 troop, 16th Dragoons, Mounted - about 30 men
6 troops, 16th Dragoons, unmounted - about 204 men
less troops at Hillsborough - 70 men
Total at Princeton about 859 men
Casualties suffered by these troops at the Battle of Princeton were reported to be as follows:
Killed, Wounded, Missing or Captured
17th Regiment of British Foot 13 --- 53 --- 35
40th Regiment of British Foot 0 --- 1 --- 93
55th Regiment of British Foot 5 --- 4 --- 72
Total 18 --- 58 --- 200
There is no report of Dragoon casualties.
Of those [British] killed, one was an officer - Captain William Leslie, son of General Leslie. Five officers were wounded and four were captured. The Americans suffered about 35 killed, including Brigadier General Mercer of New Jersey, Colonel Haslet of Delaware, Colonel Porter of Massachusetts, Captain Neil of the New Jersey Artillery, Captain Fleming of Virginia and Captain Shippen of the Marines. No Americans were captured and the number of wounded was not reported."

Got out for a sunrise or two over the past week as winter finally decided it wasn't done yet...thankfully. I was getting tired of blue skies and 70 degree weather. This is prime landscape photography season!
Well, today marks the two year anniversary of one of my most popular shots, both on flickr and in terms of print sales. Since it is the 2nd month and the day is 22, I figured why not post an image made near the same time frame but two years later. Originally I was going to post a black and white conversion from that special morning back in '09, but I really like this recent image for its distinct character compared to the one from two years ago.
I really struggled on this morning to find compositions to include the storm front and the cracked cloud line where light was breaking through. Eventually I wound up on this side of the wharf and walked along the beach to position the line of the cloud to end where it does. The waves weren't all that cooperative and the storm front was moving fast, so I only got a couple shots where I had decent water motion at the same time as reflections in the sand. I used ISO 200 and f8 in order to keep the shutter speed shorter to catch some streaks in the water as well as freeze the moving clouds.

there you are
as you always were
in bathing light
and naked blur
you're a part of me
eternal one
by grand design
and setting sun
if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath
last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning
inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning
awake in my arms
you crying unharmed
our age of the hours
when they still devour all
so take it all
i doubt if we
will know it's gone
cause we've been here
since time began
begged god
awake and make these plans
wound opens
reveal this broken man
and soon there's notion
of blood on his hands
if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath
last night i turned around, i thought i saw myself turning
last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending
inside the crushing i felt the pang, the tide was turning
destroyed in the wake
the jealous ingrates
who'll tear this world down
to spite god above
with his own love
with his own love
if you wait
if you wait
if you wait, i will wait
taste, i will taste
if you love, i will love
run, i will run
to my last breath

I am over here with some amazing film photographers.
Took a walk with Mamiya and a roll of Reala. It really is my favorite film.

Sometimes you see a scene that touches your heart and you feel invasive for taking the photo but you want to record the moment. This man with a wheelchair, his son and wife were at San Onofre Beach which is part of Camp Pendleton Marine Base.
I think the part that hurt was seeing the son covering up his legs with sand just as his dad did. And seeing the paddleboarders standing up right out in front of them.
Unfortunately or fortunately, there are quite a few wheelchairs on this particular stretch of beach, just down from the surfers.
Semper Fi.
