This is a recent image in my "Remnants of Past" series, which is pre-occupied with recreating childhood dreams and memories with my daughter as my muse.
I am desperately trying to finish this series because if I do, I will probably have a solo show at a local gallery. I just don't feel "done" yet (maybe I will never truly be done?) and I am not in a big hurry. Well, it just can't be rushed.
I purchased the dress for very cheap on eBay -- I think it is a flower girl dress. I had it in my closet for years since it was so big, but it finally fits! And I found the cool feathers at a craft shop in NYC.

I hadn't noticed, quite a few years ago, when this shot was taken, that this Australian Fur Seal has a good reason to be a bit snappy. It appears to have a number of wounds on its neck and shoulder. My first thought was "shark", but the cuts seem to be equally spaced out, so I suppose a boat propeller could be to blame.
When you've relaxed so much your film doesn't wind tightly onto the spool...

Over the years i saw many elephant seals with sometimes quite heavy looking injuries. Mostly their necks are suffering the most. Here i guess it was a shark...hope she weill get better soon. San Simeon, CA
I suppose that we each carry around with us one or two old wounds that just never seem to heal over completely...

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."

#berlinskasich #standwithukraine #saveukraine #stoprussianwarcrimes
After the horrors of two world wars, many countries adopted the Geneva Conventions on August 12th 1949. The Conventions describe rules of treatment of people from the opposing side in any war or armed conflict. That are soldiers, civilians, medical personnel, unhurt and wounded, living and dead.❗️
Since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukrainian we have witnessed countless war crimes committed by russia, being committed by russia daily. Torture, rape, executions. No boundaries or limits of russian cruelty are to be seen. On August 12th we show and tell about one of the countless russian war crimes, in particular the abduction of 82 Ukrainian medics who are now being illegally held in russian captivity. Their families have no information about the further destinyy of their close ones.
In the meantime the International Committee of the Red Cross, calling itself guardian of the international humanitarian law (which the Geneva Conventions fall under), does not act, trying instead to free itself of complicity in the "evacuation" of civilians, among them children, from the Mariupol blockade to russia and the murder of Ukrainian POWs in the Olenivka penal facility.
We and our defenders need help, now. We need to put pressure on international organizations so that they fullfill their obligations. And we need to tell the world about russian war crimes and their accomplices, who make the genocide of the Ukrainian nation possible on a structural level.
Let us do this together!
