Land cultivated with vineyards and olive trees, cultivated with toil and with the support of God. Blessed land and blessed crops.
“I ain't hurtin' nobody/So just let me be/I got good intentions, I don't need your blessings/Cause I'm already blessed, I'm already blessed and free.”
I am saying goodbye. Not because I want to, but because I have to. I love you, and I always will. My sun.. my sunlight.

Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church - Lawton, OK
Couldn't resist the opportunity to capture another evening view of this classic architecture.
I am possibly going to mention something about Saint John the Baptist, Salome, at least one Herod, Orpheus, Brân the Blessed and Baphomet if I can edit my notes. Til then here is what I have.
The lights went out, the depth of darkness opened wide and then the lights were reignited and the world whirled waling into nothing, blossomed into something and flowered into everything...
Yester Castle, home of Sir Hugo de Giffard, also Jiffard, a 13th-century Scottish Baron. He is remembered in legend as the, “Wizard of Yester.” Yester Castle was built around 1267 with Sir Hugo acting like a diabolical King Solomon and calling spirits to build his stone works for him. If instead of the diabolical focus Sir Hugo was more inline with the God of Solomon then his demons may have been a gift labour source for his good works. Some have said that he was in pact with the devil and that his source of amazing conjuring deeds was all infernal. His fortification is noted as being assembled by an army of hobgoblins. The best remains of the castle ruins are named as either Bohall, or Hobgoblin Hall, also The Goblin Ha’. This Goblin Hall may have constructed by a workforce keen to protect their stone crafting secrets and possibly also French in origin. The language barrier and insular ways could have given rise to the workers been seen as demons doing Sir Hugo’s bidding. Bohall as an Irish name is said to derive from, “baigell,” which meant, “having profitable pledges,” Sir Hugo seems to have been the embodiment of someone that is noted as having prospered by having profitable pledges. Most likely because it still stands as the only roofed section of Yester Castle it is suggested that the Goblin Ha’ is where Sir Hugo practised dark arts such as necromancy. The Hall is even stated to have an entrance to Hell. The design of the structure that still exists gives much clearer indication of the Hall as the place to bring in animals at times of siege and to have above the animal section floors for two legged occupation with the lowest section being a vital access to water and not an entrance to the underworlds. Magic often features in Legend in ways that quickly come undone if you look closely at the weave of Folklore, as that which is seen as superb for stories is not the best factual material for histories.
I hope that Sir Hugo being of either Giffard, or Jiffard has no overbearing influence on the Giff versus Jiff debate? That is usually the .gif versus the .jif at least in pronunciation.

Rainbow 180, after winter morning 'shower' (light rain).
Stitch of 3 photos.
I've learned: do not use polarizing filter when shoot rainbow.
The tilted sign says Simply Blessed. Isn't that a wonderful thought?
There's a lot going on in the photo - plenty of things from the signage to the birdhouse on a pole that is in a precarious position.

I was intrigued and looked carefully; the kids took blessings of the living statue....I have never seen such an amazing drama on the street while we stood both as thespians and the spectators....
The man, who performed a live statue, deserved more than the applause from the street walkers...his x handle link is @ildantedegliuffizi.....an extraordinary fineness of performing art and a great artist indeed !!

This week Orthodox people are celebrating Easter. If they have something to celebrate this year… God bless all of you!
What an incredible planet we live on! I feel so blessed to be able to experience so many of its wonders. On this day of giving thanks, I want to take a moment and be grateful for everything I have and for my experiences in life. In the fog of day to day living, it's easy to lose sight of what is right in our lives. May all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
