Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

There is a whole variety of believers. Whosoever comes to these desolate mountains couldn't be exactly ambitious, at least not over worldly matters, and one can be sure life is hard here.

PS
Sanyu was nicknamed the Modigliani/ Matisse of the East. He came from a wealthy family having been taught Chinese poetry and ink painting by one of the Emporer's scholarly advisors in his youth. He studied arts in Japan for a couple of years before turning to Paris in his early 20's. Instead of attending any of the academies there, he chose to hang around saloons. He extended many of the aesthetic formalities of both of the East and the West, since he painted only from his heart and soul. He blended the styles from both the West and the East very uniquely, in subjects, materials or treatments. Other than expressionist exaggerations , he is also a great master of minimalism, keen to capture the very essence of the substances with a few symbolic strokes. His paintings are well received both in the East and the West. For a long time, his paintings are fetching a very high price. He is the only Chinese painter who had essentially integrated into or even pioneered Western painting albeit with things which could be traced back to his background. In his later years, having squandered all his money away, he became extremely poor...

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

We were overly ambitious in planting a huge garden this year, especially with near perfect summer weather, so rather than weed the melon patch we planted buckwheat to keep the weeds down. . . not knowing every deer for miles around would be drawn for the seeds. . .they also cropped Lynn's fall greens and beets. . .

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

** From Fountains Abbey it is only a short walk along the river to the Studley Royal water gardens . The gardens were designed by John Aislabie in the early seventeenth century, they are a fine example of a Georgian water gardens
The Temple of Piety seen in the centre of the image is one of the many neo-classical buildings in Studley Royal.
a bit more background
In the early 18th-century John Aislabie had great plans to impress visitors to his Yorkshire estate and so turned the wild and wooded valley of the river Skell into one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens.
John Aislabie inherited the Studley Royal estate in 1693. He was a socially and politically ambitious man and became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1718. Disaster struck his career in 1720 due to his part in the South Sea Bubble financial scandal and he was expelled from Parliament. It was then that John returned to Yorkshire and devoted himself to creating this ground-breaking garden. Inspired by the work of the great French landscape gardeners, the two gifted amateurs created the Water Garden with its formal, geometric design and extraordinary vistas; including the much photographed Temple of Piety.You can also find classical statues, follies and garden buildings carefully positioned within the landscape to discover and enjoy.
Amazingly the garden you see today is little changed from the one that would have impressed Aislabie’s visitors 200 years ago.

The Kingfisher by William Henry Davies
It was the Rainbow gave thee birth,
And left thee all her lovely hues;
And, as her mother’s name was Tears,
So runs it in my blood to choose
For haunts the lonely pools, and keep
In company with trees that weep.
Go you and, with such glorious hues,
Live with proud peacocks in green parks;
On lawns as smooth as shining glass,
Let every feather show its marks;
Get thee on boughs and clap thy wings
Before the windows of proud kings.
Nay, lovely Bird, thou art not vain;
Thou hast no proud, ambitious mind;
I also love a quiet place
That’s green, away from all mankind;
A lonely pool, and let a tree
Sigh with her bosom over me.
This image shows how this beautiful Kingfisher got its name.
Thanks for viewing and please know how much I appreciate and value each and every comment.
After the capture of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the city took on a more Christian appearance with large constructions designed by the monarchs. The most ambitious project was a great Gothic cathedral with a royal chapel to house the remains of Isabella and Ferdinand.
Although its construction was planned for 1506, the sudden death of Queen Isabella two years earlier led to the construction of the Royal Chapel to bury her. Therefore, work on the Cathedral of Granada did not begin until 1523.
The foundations were laid on the old main mosque of Granada. After the death of the main architect, Diego de Siloé took over and changed the entire previous design to erect a majestic Renaissance cathedral.
Siloé, who was also in charge of building the Monastery of San Jerónimo, designed a great temple with five aisles and two 80-meter towers. In the end, only one of them, measuring 50 meters, could be built.
The cathedral of Granada was completed in 1704.
The impressive ruins of Moreton Corbet Castle are the product of over five hundred years of building. The original fortified house of about 1100, probably built of timber, was replaced in stone about 1200, and the Corbet family ambitiously remodelled the building in the 16th century.
A castle was first established in about 1100 by the Torets, a family of Saxon descent. It passed by marriage after 1239 into the hands of the Corbets, who gave their name to the village. In the 16th century the castle was extensively remodelled in two phases. First, Sir Andrew Corbet (d.1578) erected a two-storey range between the medieval great tower and gatehouse. Sir Andrew also built a new east range, a section of which was dismantled later when his eldest son, Robert, inherited the castle.
In the 18th century the castle was abandoned as a residence, and it soon became roofless. Plans were drawn up in 1796 to build a new house on the site, but the project was never realised and the castle remained a ruin. The Corbet family still owns the castle today, although the site is managed by English Heritage.

Processed with Snapseed.Pearle Hospitality is encountering delays in its ambitious redevelopment plans for the historic Elora Mill Inn property and land adjacent to and across from it on the banks of the Grand River in Elora.
A planner with the company said a group of Elora citizens recently raised heritage preservation issues with the township regarding the proposal.
The project encompasses multiple heritage sites, including Elora mill, mill stable, James Ross House, the mill house, and the granary, all of which are on West Mill Street in downtown Elora. Across the river, tThe project encompasses multiple heritage sites, including Elora mill, mill stable, James Ross House, the mill house, and the granary, all of which are on West Mill Street in downtown Elora. Across the river, the long-abandoned Little Folks toy factory, much of it in ruins, is also a heritage site.
In the request, the group asked the township to "promptly update" the website to include the Elora Mill Project.

1937 Packard, Custom coachbuilt by Rollston
Rollston Company
Harry Lonschein (1886-1977), an ambitious 16-year-old Romanian immigrant, found employment at Brewster & Co, one of the country’s oldest carriage makers in 1903. At that time Brewster was making the transition from one of the country’s oldest carriage makers to one of its first automobile body builders. In addition to building their own Knight sleeve-valve-engined car starting in 1915, Brewster was the NY agent for Delaunay-Belleville and later Rolls-Royce. During his employment there, Lonschein gained a lot of experience building high class enclosed bodies on the world’s finest chassis. At about the same time that Rolls-Royce opened their Springfield, Massachusetts assembly plant in 1921, Harry, along with a couple of partners, Sam Blotkin and Julius Veghso (1874-1964) formed the Rollston Company and moved into a building located on West 47th Street. They paid homage to their favorite chassis by naming the firm after it, and set out make the highest quality bodies possible. Veghso, a graduate of Andrew F. Johnson’s carriage drafting course, and a very experienced coachbuilder had founded the Perfect Body Co., an early coachbuilder who built bodies for Singer and other luxury chassis. Lonschein served as president, Blotkin, its secretary-treasurer, and Veghso the firm’s designer, draftsman and general superintendent of the factory.
Rollston’s bodies were acknowledged as the strongest of the classic-era and like the work of their favorite chassis, were over-engineered in the finest carriage-building tradition, using only the finest materials and castings. Their fine work attracted the attention of Grover C. Parvis, the Custom Body Manager of Packard's New York dealership.
Packard would become their best customer, and over the next 20 years, the vast majority of the 700 bodies built by the firm would appear on Packard chassis.

The Century 21 Exposition was a world's fair held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962, in Seattle, Washington. The fair was originally conceived in 1955 to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1909 Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition, but it soon became clear that that date was too ambitious. With the Space Race underway and Boeing having "put Seattle on the map" as "an aerospace city", a major theme of the fair was to show that "the United States was not really 'behind' the Soviet Union in the realms of science and space". As a result, the themes of space, science, and the future completely trumped the earlier conception of a "Festival of the [American] West".
This Grey heron (Ardea cinerea) kept on picking up, dropping and picking up again this very long branch. Obviously thinking it might make good nesting material. Not sure if it is a reed or a bramble.

Described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset", the present Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th century.
Recent excavations in the chancel, together with others in the 19th Century in the nave, revealed early foundations. These indicate a large central tower that possibly dated from C.950.
At the beginning of the 15th Century the church had suffered some catastrophe such as the collapse of the central tower. A great deal of re-roofing and repair was done in 1404, and all through the century rebuilding and refurnishing went on. Sometime during this century further damage was caused by the collapse of several pinnacles, whether from the old or new tower is uncertain, and the nave roof had to be practically rebuilt. The west tower is first mentioned in 1484. By the end of the century the church had assumed the appearance which it has today.
The tower rises to a height of 134½ feet, and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.
By contrast:
Glastonbury a little market town with a population of 8,000 become, what is considered to be, the Pagan centre of England? Glastonbury’s fame is twofold. Firstly, it’s known as the Pagan equivalent of Mecca, somewhat popular with not only British Pagan visitors, but also with members from esoteric communities from all over the world. The town regularly sees groups of Spanish and Mexican Witches, Druids from New Zealand and Italy, Heathens from Germany and Russia, and all manner of Pagans from the States and Canada.

Ambitious kayaker sets out on a windy day for a little sea kayaking near Victoria BC Canada. A very important rule in sea kayaking is to have the latest marine weather forecast so you can avoid problems with changes in the weather. Too many times in our local waters I have seen kayakers stranded on islands or worse yet flipped over in heavy sea's all because they were inexperienced and went out in the wrong weather conditions. It can be a life or death situation.
This is Havana's most ambitious and grandiose building with construction starting in 1926 that took 5,000 workers 3 years, 2 months and 20 days to complete.
The design of the building is similar to the Capital Building in Washington, D.C but was actually modeled after the Pantheon in Paris.
It was formerly the seat of the Cuban Congress and then from 1959-2013 it was home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the National Library of Science and Technology.
Highway distances between Havana and all sites in Cuba are calculated from the floor at the centre of the dome.
Restoration was to be completed in 2018 and then to be reopened as the home of Cuba's National Assembly.

Blue boats at Porthmadog Marina
A harbour town situated on the Glaslyn Estuary, Porthmadog is rich in maritime history and is an excellent base for touring the surrounding area. It has a number craft shops and restaurants. The town was named after W.A. Maddocks whose ambitious "Cob" embankment scheme led to the town's name, which translates as "Madog's Port". In times gone by, it was a vital, busy shipping port for the international slate trade, brought down from Blaenau Ffestiniog. The maritime history depicts its proud past.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest– For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
