JUST BECAUSE Gown
This is one of the shots from last year, A Dead Tree series, I would call.
I took many shots during the last three months of 2015 than the first nine months. I never post any of them because I was doing a lot of experiments with various subjects, angles and compositions. I was so eager to get out of my comfort zone, and I was tired to see myself repeating.
In Italy where my husband is from there is a tradition to give small packages like soft bags with colorful candy inside. This was a bigger one with the hard shell around and candy inside of it. This is a miniature bag, super cute blue, meant for a baby boy. My son was born 13 years ago but I still keep this as a souvenir and memory from that time.
HSOS!!

Here I was baptized in 1944, comforted in 1958 and married for the first time in 1966.
Kristiansand Cathedral (Norwegian: Kristiansand domkirke) is a cathedral of the Church of Norway in Kristiansand Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the Kvadraturen area in the central part of the city of Kristiansand. It is the church for the Kristiansand domkirken parish which is the seat of the Kristiansand domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The cathedral is also the seat of the Bishop of Agder and Telemark. The gray, brick church was built in a Neo-Gothic cruciform design in 1885 using plans drawn up by the architect Henrik Thrap-Meyer. The church seats about 1,000 people, making it one of the largest cathedrals in Norway.
This cathedral is the fourth church and third cathedral to be located on this site over the centuries.
Dunseverick Castle is situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, near the small village of Dunseverick and the Giant's Causeway. Dunseverick Castle and earthworks are Scheduled Historic Monuments.
Dunseverick Castle and the peninsula on which it stands were given to the National Trust in 1962 by local farmer Jack McCurdy. The Causeway Cliff Path also runs past on its way to Dunseverick Harbour to the east and to the Giant's Causeway to the west.
Saint Patrick is recorded as having visited Dunseverick castle in the 5th century AD, where he baptized Olcán, a local man who later became a Bishop of Ireland.[2] The original stone fort that occupied the position was attacked by Viking raiders in 870 AD.
In the later part of the 6th century AD, this was the seat of Fergus Mor MacEirc (Fergus the Great). Fergus was King of Dalriada and great-uncle of the High King of Ireland, Muirceartaigh (Murtagh) MacEirc. It is the 500 AD departure point from Ireland of the Lia Fail or coronation stone. Murtagh loaned it to Fergus for the latter's coronation in western Scotland part of which Fergus had settled as his sea-kingdom expanded.
The O'Cahan family held it from circa 1000 AD to circa 1320 AD, then regained it in the mid 16th century. Last one to have the castle was Giolla Dubh Ó Catháin, who left it in 1657 to settle in the Craig/Lisbellanagroagh area. Post 1660 they use the anglicised name McCain/O'Kane.
The castle was captured and destroyed by General Robert Munro in 1642 and his Cromwellian troops in the 1650s, and today only the ruins of the gatelodge remain. A small residential tower survived until 1978 when it eventually surrendered to the sea below.
It was a 'key' ancient site in Ireland. One of the five great royal highways, or slighe of ancient Ireland, Slige Midluachra, had its terminal point at Dunseverick castle, running from here to Emain Macha and further to Tara and the fording point on the Liffey at what is now Dublin.

The church where I was baptized and confirmed. My parents graves are behind the church and many of my ancestral sepulchers are here also.
One of the bays in Sevastopol. On the opposite side of the bay you can see the Chersonesus cathedral. The cathedral is built near the ruins of the presumed place where Vladimir the Great was baptized in 988
The Church of St. Vladimir was built on the site of a medieval cruciform church in the mid-19th century. The church is devoted to Kyivan Prince Vladimir, who, according to the Rus Chronicle, was baptized in Chersonesos. Academician F. I. Chagin and architect D. I. Grimm, architects of the church, designed this two-story building with one chapel on each floor. The chapel of the Nativity of the Mother of God of Korsun' is located on the ground floor; St. Vladimir chapel is on the first floor.
The remains of the cruciform church where the prince of Rus' was initially supposed to have been baptized are preserved on the ground floor of the modern church.
Свято-Владимирский кафедральный собор в Херсонесе - православная святыня, которая увековечила принятие христианства князем Владимиром. Храм-памятник поражает своим величием, красотой и пропорциональностью линий. Свято-Владимирский собор был заложен в 1861 году. На церемонии присутствовала царская семья. Первый камень в основание собора заложил император Александр II. Он же утвердил проект будущего храма на территории Херсонесского монастыря. Автором проекта выступил академик архитектуры Давид Гримм. Интересно, что Свято-Владимирский собор в Херсонесе стал первым выдающимся сооружением, которое спроектировал этот архитектор.
It is the legacy of Ivan Crnojevic, who was the ruler of the state of Zeta at the end of XV century. In the last 500 years this monastery was the seat of all Montenegrin bishops. Since its foundation it has been connected with bishops – episcopes, and metropolitans, and therefore it is considered to be the greatest center of Montenegrin education and culture during the past centuries.
Old monastery was built by Ivan Crnojevic in 1484 at the locality which is called “Cipur” (from the Greek kipurion which means a wonderful garden), and the monastery was ruined in 1692 during one of the breeches of Sulejman pasha Busatlija on Cetinje, so about its original appearance there are two testimonies: Engraving from Cetinje Oktoih, and a plan of a Venetian engineer Barbieri.
Montenegrin metropolitan Danilo Petovic renewed the monastery at the beginning of XIII century. Instead of renewal of the old monastery, a new one was built in the place of the Castle of Ivan Crnojevic, but the trustee inscription, which is located above the entrance doors of the church, and the herald of Crnojevic family, which is built into the outer side of the altar apsidal have been passed onto. After the reconstruction the monastery complex took up the size of 1400 square meters. Trenches filled up with water and a defensive wall with 62 gun holes surrounded it. Inside the walls there were night chambers, a smaller church of Sveti Petar (St. Peter), and a big basilica of Sveta Djevica (Saint Virgin). Several times additionally built and adapted the monastery acquired the present look in the period between 1925 and 1927. The nucleus of the monastery is the church of Rodjenja Bogorodice (Birth of the Virgin). Entire relics of Sveti Petar Cetinjski (St. Peter from Cetinje), by whom the monastery got the name, have been places inside it.
The hand of Sveti Jovan Krstitelj (Saint Jovan the Baptizer), relics of Sveti Petar Cetinjski. Segment of Honorable Cross, as well as a part of the relics of Teodor Stratilan are preserved in the monastery with which the monastery itself is one of the richest treasuries of the Christian world. Above the monastery you can see a skit of Sveti Jovan Krstitelj that was built in 1997. The construction of the Church of Sveti Jovan Krstitelj in that place is in plan and it will be built in the honor of saint’s right hand that is kept in the monastery.
First primary and secondary school in Montenegro were formed in the Monastery. Petar II Petrovic Njegos (1813 – 1851), the most famous Montenegrin ruler and poet handled a print shop as well as a workshop for producing zinc cannon balls. Cetinje monastery served also as a mausoleum to dynasty Petrovic, and prince Danilo Petrovic, his wife Darinka, his daughter Olga, as well as the great duke Mirko Petrovic, bishop Sava Petrovic and many other have been buried in it.

"Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
- Romans 6:3,4 NIV
Yardenit ist der Taufort am Fluss Jordan in dem Jesus getauft wurde. Der hebräische Name des Jordanflusses ist Yarden. Daraus leitet sich der Name YARDENIT ab.
Yardenit known as the Yardenit Baptismal Site, is a baptism site located along the Jordan River in the Galilee region of northern Israel,
“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven; ‘Thou art my beloved Son, with thee I am well pleased.” Mark 1:9-11
Visitors to Yardenit are greeted by this very verse from Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus in over 80 languages and dialects, depicted in hand painted tiles by Armenian artist Hagop Antreassian on the Wall of New Life.
Thanks a lot, my friends, for your visit, all your comments and faves!

"These Days" by Rudimental (feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore, Dan Caplen)
I could cry you a river, get you baptized or
I wasn't ready to act right
Used to always think I'd get you back, right
They say that things fall apart
We were gonna move to Brooklyn
You were gonna study art
Love is just a tool
To remind us who we are
And that we are not alone
When we're walking in the dark
Baptized in the fading rays of a late afternoon sun, an old barn stands testifying to its past that no one sings songs for any more. When we reach a certain age, our past becomes more relevant to us and less to those who are younger.
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!

Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

Reflect on today's Scripture: March 23, 2008, Easter Sunday: His Resurrection
Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
Colossians 3:1-4
John 20:1-9
Easter has come suddenly, with a burst of light!
Now we know that Jesus stands by his promises! In a flash, Christ has changed darkness and death into light and life. Our journey through the struggles of Lent and the pain of Holy Week is over. With malicious sacrilege, evil has done its worst to the sacred body of God's Son. With Mary and John, we saw Him die. We wept at the tomb. Then, before dawn on Sunday, Christ broke through the rock, shattered the power of sin and, according to tradition, appeared first to His Mother, then to the women and the apostles.
As we listen to today's first reading, we hear one of Peter's very first sermons. The curious bystanders were astounded at the change in this man. He comes fresh from the fiery tongues of Pentecost, still in shock at the dream he had on the way to Cornelius' house. Nothing was to be considered unclean. So he is free to preach to Gentiles the Good News of God's forgiveness and freedom for all. Peter and the others are commanded to baptize any who believe in the Christ. So the word spreads through the whole countryside and beyond. Resurrection is the hope of every living person. No wonder the apostles preached with such courage and enthusiasm!
They preached about a God who cared first for people who were poor and powerless, a God whose love governed all His relationships. And He taught us to not only believe in justice, but to act justly.
The Scripture readings during these fifty days between Easter and Pentecost are among the most exciting in the Church year. We burst into "Alleluias" over and over, and joyfully shout "Christ has Risen" this Sunday. But more than just singing, we settle into a new time of reflection on our own program for resurrection in these very troubled times. After all, it is our mission to bring new life to a troubled world. If we don't do it, who will? So let's repack for travel!
As followers of the Risen Christ, the time has come for greater efforts on our part to influence politicians and others on all the vital life issues that are integral to the teaching of Jesus Christ—from abortion and embryonic stem-cell research to corruption in government and all institutions—to proper medical care for the sick and elderly. Jesus teaches respect for every human person, whether alien or citizen. We need to study the document of the Bishops on Faithful Citizenship. Hopefully, many of us will continue our Why Catholic groups. Faith and action begin with understanding and loving the teachings and plans for action of our Church. We have so much to do as hope-filled Easter Catholics. These are critical times, and we must not fall back into laziness or complacency now that Lent has ended.
Let's hope our spiritual blood-pressure is just a bit higher as we proclaim the Good News.
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!

Pope Urges Youth to Form Friendship With Christ, for this is Best Relationship Key for Responding to Modern World
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 19, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI greeted university students gathered for an annual conference sponsored by Opus Dei, and encouraged them to foster a personal relationship with Christ so as to be able to respond to the great questions of our time.
The Pope greeted in three languages the 3,000 participants of the international UNIV congress, gathered today in St. Peter's Basilica. He then gave the traditional catechesis during his weekly general audience in Paul VI Hall.
"I offer a cordial welcome to all of you who have come to Rome from various countries and universities to celebrate Holy Week together, and to take part in the International UNIV Congress," the Holy Father told the youth. "In this way, you will be able to benefit from moments of common prayer, cultural enrichment and a helpful exchange of the experiences gained from your association with the centers and activities of Christian formation sponsored by the Prelature of Opus Dei in your respective cities and nations."
The conference this year, which ends Easter Sunday, is focused on the theme "Being, Appearing, and Communicating: Entertainment and Happiness in a Multi-Medial Society."
The Pontiff reminded the youth that with a "serious personal commitment, inspired by the Gospel values, it is possible to respond adequately to the great questions of our time.'
"The Christian knows that there is an inseparable link between the truth, ethics and responsibility," he said. "Every authentic cultural expression contributes to form the conscience and encourage the person to better himself with the end of bettering society. In this way one feels responsible before the truth, at the service of which, one must put one's own personal liberty."
A commitment
Benedict XVI said this implies "a mission requiring commitment." And to fulfill this commitment, he affirmed, "the Christian is called to follow Jesus, cultivating an intense friendship with him through prayer and contemplation."
"To be friends of Christ, and to give testimony of him wherever we are, demands, furthermore, the strength to go against the grain, remembering the words of the Lord: You are in the world but not of the world," he added.
The Pope encouraged the youth: "Do not be afraid, then, to be nonconformists when it is necessary; at your university, school and in all places."
"Dear young people of UNIV, be leaven of hope in the world that desires to meet Jesus, often without knowing it," he urged. "To better the world, make an effort above all to change yourselves through an intense sacramental life, especially through approaching the sacrament of penance, and participating assiduously in the celebration of the Eucharist."
The UNIV conferences began in 1968, inspired and encouraged by Opus Dei's founder, Monsignor Josemaría Escrivá, who was canonized in 2002.

Today is Sunday, June 2, 2019 and I'm happy to say I'm back in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (USA) and getting in some personal photography time before the 3 back-to-back workshops I have to conduct starting on June 3.
Here's a sunrise scene of Mt. Moran reflecting in the beaver pond in north of the town of Jackson.
One of the things I'll be doing today is trying to locate a new grizzly bear in northern Jackson Hole area known as Felcia.
During the last week in May, she distracted a boar after hiding her two very young cubs. Once she accomplished this, she returned to the place where she hid the two cubs only to find one. The second has not be found to this date as far as I know so I'm going to have to contact Bernie Scates who lives here and see what he knows. He's the goto person here in Jackson Hole when it comes to knowing where the different grizzlies are.

Nana de la cigüeña –
Que no me digan a mí
que el canto de la cigüeña
no es bueno para dormir.
Si la cigüeña canta
arriba en el campanario,
que no me digan a mí
que no es del cielo su canto.
Rafael Alberti, Marinero en tierra.
Le pregunté a Google como se llama esta Iglesia o donde está situada, y Google no sabe, yo solo se que esta doblando calle abajo de el albergue de ,Peregrinos y la Iglesia San Francisco, pero como Google no sabe,yo tampoco, y así la bauticé con este nombre.
I asked Google what this church is called or where it is located, and Google does not know, I just know that it is turning down the street from the pilgrim hostel and the San Francisco Church, but as Google does not know; me either, and so I baptized with this name
"I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love"

"If war is holy and sex is obscene
Then we got it twisted in this lucid dream
Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin
Divided by difference, sexuality and skin
So we can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in
We can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we could love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war
What if sex was holy and war was obscene
And it wasn't twisted, what a wonderful dream
Living for love, unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only real revenge"

Baptistry of Neon (5th century) - Ravenna
UNSECO World Heritage site (1997)
Il Battistero Neoniano, detto anche degli Ortodossi, è un battistero presente a Ravenna risalente al V secolo e prende il nome dal vescovo Neone che ne ha fatto proseguire la costruzione dopo il suo predecessore Orso. L'appellativo degli ortodossi va invece inteso secondo il significato dell'epoca, che intendeva i cristiani della "retta" dottrina in contrapposizione all'eresia ariana.
Il battistero è inserito, dal 1996, nella lista dei siti italiani patrimonio dell'umanità dall'UNESCO, all'interno del sito seriale "Monumenti paleocristiani di Ravenna".
The Baptistry of Neon is a religious building in Ravenna, central Italy. The most ancient monument remaining in the city, it was partly erected on the site of a Roman bath. It is also called the Orthodox Baptistry to distinguish it from the Arian Baptistry constructed on behest of Ostrogothic King Theodoric some 50 years later.
The octagonal brick structure was erected by Bishop Ursus at the end of the 4th or beginning of the 5th century, as part of his great Basilica (destroyed in 1734). The baptistery was finished by Bishop Neon at the end of the 5th century, at which time the mosaic decorations were added. The original floor is now some 3 meters underground, so the proper structure and extent of the building can no longer be seen. The octagonal design of the building, employed in virtually all Early Christian baptisteries, symbolizes the seven days of the week plus the Day of the Resurrection and Eternal Life.
Detail of the the sailors casting the prophet Jonah from the ship. On the top Other scenes are recognizable : the resurrection of Lazarus, and the apocryphal scene of Peter baptizing his gaolers.
