Popped into the rough ground at the end of my road this evening, on the off chance there might be something interesting - and found my first beautiful demoiselles of the year!
Beautiful Speightstown, Barbados.
Speightstown was formally settled around 1630 and in the earliest days of Settlement was Barbados's busiest port. Ships laden with sugar and other commodities left Speightstown bound directly for London and especially Bristol. For this reason Speightstown is sometimes known as Little Bristol. The quaint town has now become the centre of a tourist area as well as a secondary shopping centre.
The area of Speightstown was the first major port and commercial centre of Barbados. The city is named after William Speight, a member of Barbados' first Assembly during the colonial years as well as the former land owner where the city is located. It has a long and colorful history reaching back to the 17th century when it served as one of the main ports connecting the island with the “mother country,” England. Back then Speightstown was sometimes called “Little Bristol” because of these trading connections with Bristol in England. This little village was the port that Ayscue could not take, when dispatched by Cromwell to quell the insurrection in Barbados in 1649. The Barbadians were loyal to Charles I, and would not accept Oliver Cromwell as their protector. For six months Ayscue was unable to land in Barbados, and concentrated attacks on Speightstown were repelled by the small forts along the shore.
The tiny island was landed only with the help of a defector who led Ayscue and his men to land at Oistins Town where they met with representatives of the island and signed what has become known as the "Charter of Barbados". Signed in 1652, the agreement gave Barbados rights and privileges unheard of in any other Island. In particular it guaranteed that Barbados could not be taxed without the consent of a Barbados General Assembly.

Just home from a week in Kefalonia - lots of reading, swimming and enjoying Greek food and hospitatlity.
Laura pinta y el mundo se evapora para ella. Sigue siendo la princesa de Pingonia, aquella que busca y evita el vacío de la nada voraz. Ríe y charla, y sigue pintando.
Pero se esconde, se esconde tras su pincel de madera pingoniana, tras sus lienzos blancos de origen y tras sus colores, los que ella inventa a cada momento.
Se esconde tras sus sonrisas, incluso tras sus palabras.
Se esconde como una niña pequeña lo hace del monstruo que hay en el armario, tapándose con una sábana para no verlo.
Lo que pasa es que sus ojos son incapaces de esconderse, y la instan a hacerse amiga del monstruo y acogerle en su palacio.
Al rato sus palabras y sus sonrisas han seguido a sus ojos y ha dejado de esconderse.
Ya no le importa, porque puede con ello y con mucho más.
Y de repente deja su pincel y sale de detrás del lienzo y se inventa un personaje clásico sosteniendo un nido de pájaros en su mano. Y se divierte.
Cae la noche y el girasol descansa esperando el sol del día siguiente, deseando volver a improvisar momentos únicos.

I have just returned from my overseas trip to the US, and finally get a chance to look at my photos! (even though slightly jet lagged). This is from the Yosemite Valley, and is beautiful at sunset when the sun lights up rock faces and you can watch the shadows get larger and larger. I met a great guy called Matt here. Half an hour earlier there were clouds in the sky which we watched slowly disappear!

Aimer un étranger comme soi-même implique de s'aimer soi-même comme un étranger.
Love a stranger as oneself means to love yourself as a foreigner.
I got a ticket on this land once. CPR Railway lands. I dont go into it anymore, I just look at it from the fenceline, measuring distances with my eyes, chewing grass. Pretty sure I could still throw a football over that building...

She told me that she does not like this portrait. I think it is fabulous. What do you think?

Clear skies helped me to take this photo. I was inside looking out onto our back garden. The moon was beautiful..xx Found a new night plus button on the new camera so could take a photo bigger and clearer than before.
