Moby Dick is my favorite American novel, and Melville inspires my landscape and seascape photography! “But as in landlessness alone resides the highest truth, shoreless, indefinite as God - so better is it to perish in that howling infinite, than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee, even if that were safety! For worm-like, then, oh! who would craven crawl to land!” ― Herman Melville, Moby Dick

We just sanded down & refinished this floor & repainted the walls, so before moving the furniture back in, I dashed in to take some pictures. :)

I dashed off to an interview this morning at a non-profit in Oakland wearing this. I also accidentally left the hang tag in the MJ skirt because I just bought it at Jeremy's over the weekend. Oops. Talk about negligence.

I dashed out between showers when I arrived home from work, as I was determined to get an outdoors photo for a change. I was so pleased I did as this bush is covered in blossom and looks quite pretty, it is so nice seeing colour after the cold spell we have had over the last couple of months. I cannot wait for Spring :-)
I doubt I will be around much over the next couple of days as it is my daughters birthday party on Sunday and she has a sleepover tomorrow (her first one!), so I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
On Friday, February 7, 2014, high school and middle school students dashed into the icy Atlantic as part of Special Olympics Virginia’s largest fundraiser: The Polar Plunge and the Cool School Challenge.
“Raising one million dollars for the fourth year in a row is incredible,” said Rick Jeffrey, Special Olympics Virginia president. “More importantly, though, these funds will help us to build bigger, better, more inclusive communities across the state of Virginia.”
In addition to the money raised, they got to take the icy dip into the Atlantic, all while earning a Friday “pass” from school, earn community service credit, Costume contests – prizes for best dressed male and female, prizes for teacher or team sponsor, and freezing photos.

"By jove Carruthers, that was a dashed close thing!"
The former RAF base at Kemble now sees aeroplanes being dismantled for salvage. I had never before seen so many 'planes parked up, hence the tail of this Boeing 747 parked very close to the perimeter fence.

Yep the neighbours must think we're bonkers! Dashed out between showers and lay down on the pavement :-)
"Run" Luke yelled, so he and Schmidt dashed away shedding themselves of their armor as they went but it was no matter they were cornered Luke and Schmidt drew their swords and prepared for combat but, before that happened a small thin man stepped out from between his men it was Dregger "There is no need for this fight just lay down your arms and you won't be hurt" He said with a sly smile
"Never you scum we will complete our mission then leave with your head on a pike" Schmidt snarled back at him
"Very well..ATTACK!!" And so it began Luke and Schmidt fought bravely but they were out numbered and taken captive and out into a rotting cell.
Thanks for looking this is the 3rd installment of a collaborative build with Schmidt keep your eyes open for his next entry.
With all hope of rescue (return to China) now dashed, the abandoned containers bravely contend with the elements and pray for an early spring.
Another rather unspectacular image from an OM-1N first test-roll. Over-exposed and over-developed (Note to self: K100 in Xtol = 10.0 minutes). Camera works, but now it's off for a full CLA and battery modification.

for this thursday's Utata thursday walk, I walked, (well more liked dashed around with a newspaper over my head) while my camera stayed put.
Over the last few weeks, Justus' communication skills have been in overdrive. He is understanding so much of what we say, and we have already started to spell things around him to avoid confusion and dashed hopes.
We've also been trying for months to teach him some basic American Sign Language. I honestly thought he didn't care to get it, but he is really beginning to pick up on that as well. He knows "more," "please," and "all done." They've all been tweaked with his own personal flare, but he knows what he's saying. This photograph is his "more": one finger touching the open palm of his other hand.
He also knows to wave goodbye, gives kisses, and he blows kisses when he hears "I love you." He claps for himself when he hears "Good job!" and also seems to have figured out how to communicate he's hungry or thirsty all on his own by pointing his finger toward his open mouth. (We honestly have no idea where that one came from.)
It's such a joy to have a new level of communication with him, and you can tell he loves it too. We read every night before bed, and usually we can only get through half of one of his short stories. Last night we closed the book when we felt he was done, but he looked at us and signed "more." We finished the story and then he went to bed.
« I was a singer, not very popular one, I once has dreams of becoming a beautiful poet- but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again- sparkling and broken. But I didn't really mind it because I knew what true freedom is. »
Lana Del Rey – Ride {Monologue}
Il a tué mes démons, séché mes larmes, réparé mon cœur. Chaque jour, chaque nuit, protégée par la chaleur de ses bras, je vis. Et je connais enfin la vraie liberté, la chose la plus merveilleuse qu'est l'amour. Mes mots fleurissent aux côtés des siens, mes paroles s'enflamment, laissent ma voix éclater, ivre de bonheur, libre. Et je l'ai trouvé, je l'ai aimé. Et je l'aime encore, et je l'aimerai jusqu'à la fin de mes jours.

The estate known as Goodwood was assembled in the 1830s by Hardy Croom of North Carolina. Plans for a full-time Florida residence were dashed when he, his wife and three children perished in the sinking of their steamship while en route to Florida. Bryan Croom, Hardy's brother, completed the Main House at Goodwood and established it as the centerpiece for his extensive Florida landholdings.
The family of Bryan Croom's sister-in-law sued Bryan for a portion of the estate he inherited from his brother Hardy. A complicated case, it was not settled until 1857. Bryan Croom lost his case and Goodwood was purchased by wealthy Arvah Hopkins who made Goodwood a popular center for Tallahassee society from the 1850s through the 1880s.
After the death of her husband, Mrs. Hopkins sold Goodwood in 1885 to an Englishman, Dr. William Lamb Arrowsmith, and his wife. It is unknown how or why the Arrowsmiths selected Goodwood. Dr. Arrowsmith died within months of his relocation to Goodwood but his wife, Elizabeth, remained on the estate for another 25 years.
In 1911, Mrs. Arrowsmith sold Goodwood to another wealthy widow, Mrs. Alexander Tiers. Fanny Tiers, whose principal estate, Farmlands, was in Morris County, New Jersey, was related by marriage to the Fleischmann family, owners of Waverly Plantation, which was adjacent to Goodwood. Although she spent only limited time at Goodwood, Mrs. Tiers instituted an expansive renovation of the estate; the Goodwood of today is largely the result of her efforts.
As the story goes, in 1925 Senator William C. Hodges bought the most expensive bed of his life. As he related, his wife, Margaret, had always admired one of the old beds at Goodwood. However, to get the bed he had to buy the estate! Senator Hodges had a long and distinguished political career and he and his wife entertained the socially and politically prominent at Goodwood in a fashion unequaled since the Civil War. After the senator's death in 1940, Margaret continued to make Goodwood a social center.
In 1948, Margaret Hodges married Thomas M. Hood, an army officer she had met through the rental of the guest cottages on the estate. Together they enjoyed a comfortable life at Godowood. After his wife's death in 1978, Tom Hood began planning for the restoration of Goodwood as a house museum and public park. He established the Margaret E. Wilson Foundation in her memory. Upon his death in 1990, the Wilson Foundation and its operating agent Goodwod Museum and Gardens, Inc. assumed stewardship for Goodwood, its fascinating history and promising future.
I was in the winter of my life- and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell sleep with vision of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three year down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not very popular one, who once has dreams of becoming a beautiful poet- but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again- sparkling and broken. But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living- they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people, for home to be wherever you lied you head. I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I did’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzles and dizzied me.
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time, daddy
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time, baby
Hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been travellin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
Dying young and playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til it's dark
Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm f-ck-n crazy
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
I look up to hear myself saying,
Baby, too much I strive, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride...
Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired any more - except to make our lives into a work of art. LIVE FAST. DIE YOUNG. BE WILD. AND HAVE FUN. I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become, I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever- *I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself- I Ride. I Just Ride.* Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them? I Have. I Am Fucking Crazy. But I Am Free.

Everyone's Designs - clearly hoping to be open for last-minute father's day card sales. Those hopes were dashed.
Wednesday 17th June. There was widespread expectation First Minister Nicola Sturgeon would announce a move to phase two of lockdown on Thursday 18th June and give indicative dates for further easing of lockdown. Some shops to open from 29th June:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-53083995
In phase two the virus is controlled but remains; R is consistently below 1 and WHO conditions are met. Physical distancing would still be required.
Phase two includes: People meeting in larger groups; workers being allowed to return to construction sites; opening playgrounds; small shops selling non-essential goods reopening (but not shopping malls); outdoor beer gardens but not indoor areas of pubs.
"Ms Sturgeon has previously stressed that not all of the changes will happen overnight, and it might not be until "the coming weeks" that some are in place."

This image was taken during the Covid-19 pandemic and phase one of moving out of lockdown in Scotland.

Karen Abu Zayd, the Head of the UN Agency that provides food, health and housing to millions of Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) was at the European Parliament Thursday (11 September). She was there to hold talks with Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee. In an exclusive interview she told us that 60 years of refugees status for the Palestinians is nothing to celebrate, of her concern over Israeli settlements and that "periods of hope...have all been dashed and things have got worse".

As those who regularly follow Stella's photographs may recall, I've mentioned before about how there's a group of poses (and actions) I'm perpetually on the hunt to get an image of Stella doing (a non-blurry - because she dashed off the nanosecond she saw the camera - photo of her in her kitty condo being chief among them).
One such pose that I'd been trying to get for ages now was of Stella with her paws tucked adorably beneath her. Calling to mind the way ducks sometimes sit and float, this charming pose is one she adopts often, yet almost never when I'm trying to photograph her.
Recently she happened to pop up on the living room table (no surprise there! :D) when I photographing something and decided to make herself at home. I'm very glad that she did because it allowed me to finally catch her doing what my husband and I call her "tucked under paws" move.
Call me biased, but I think she looks cute as a button here.
Wishing you all a beautiful Monday,
♥ Jessica & Stella
Just couldn't resist buying one when I dashed out to do some food shopping a short while ago. I definitely do NOT need things like this, but I find that in the winter months I am far more likely to give in to temptation. And yes, I've already eaten it. My excuse this time was that when I bought one before, my photos were blurrier than I thought : )
Early 1970's vintage SNCF Class BB 67400 pulls away from Marienthal after I'd been on board and dashed over from the other side to get a shot.
Pakistan's hope of becoming the first team from their country to win a series in the West Indies was dashed at the last by a match-winning stand of 61 between Dujon and Benjamin, who came together at 207 for eight with West Indies needing another 59 to win and defeat in sight. Their unbeaten ninth-wicket stand enabled West Indies to square the series half an hour after lunch on the final day.
West Indies went into the match unchanged; Pakistan brought in Aamer Malik and Saleem Jaffer for Ijaz Ahmed and Ijaz Faqih. Put in, the Pakistanis batted at times well, at times carelessly, and they needed the scintillating eighth-wicket partnership for 67 between Salim Yousuf and Wasim Akram to ensure that earlier good work by Ramiz, Shoaib and Aamer was not wasted. They put on 50 in five overs, but in attempting to hook Marshall, Yousuf managed only to deflect the ball on to his face, breaking his nose in two places. Marshall followed up with two wickets to end the innings, Qadir becoming his 250th Test wicket. With Yousuf injured, Aamer Malik kept wicket in both innings for Pakistan.
West Indies made a poor start on the second morning, but Hooper played well for 54, Haynes grafted for 286 minutes for his 48, and Richards blasted a dynamic 67 from 80 balls, his fifty coming from 51 balls. When 61, he became the third West Indian to score 7,000 runs in Tests. However, a close-of-play score of 226 for eight reflected a position lost: West Indies had been 198 for three until Mudassar sent back Haynes and Logie with successive balls. Marshall and Benjamin pulled their side back with a ninth-wicket partnership of 58 at almost a run a minute, Marshall's 48 from 62 balls containing a six and six fours. West Indies finished just 3 runs adrift, and when Pakistan slumped to 177 for six by the close, they appeared to have gained the upper hand. Shoaib and Mudassar had put on 94 for a second wicket, Shoaib compiling his second fifty of the match, but in the final hour Pakistan had lost wickets quickly. Miandad was caught at the wicket, Aamer was brilliantly taken by Logie at forward short-leg, and Salim Malik fell to Benjamin after being softened up by Marshall.
On the fourth morning, Imran and injured Yousuf added 52 for the eighth wicket, with Yousuf, dropped first ball by Richards and having to bat some of the time with a runner because of dizziness, making a brave 28. Imran finished unbeaten with 43, having seen another 85 runs added that day. By the close, honours were about even, with Haynes, Greenidge, Richardson, Hooper and Logie out and a further 112 needed. But when Ambrose the night-watchman, and Richards fell in the first 35 minutes next morning, and Marshall was lbw to Wasim, victory was in Pakistan's grasp. Instead, Benjamin and Dujon snatched it away from them, Benjamin finally hitting the winning boundary off Qadir.
It had not been a happy day for the Pakistani leg-spinner. Denied two confident appeals for lbw and a catch off Dujon, he had allowed himself to get involved with a heckler on the boundary. A punch was thrown, the heckler was hit, and $US1,000 were paid to the offended party in an out-of-court settlement so that Qadir would not have to remain in Barbados to face charge
Morden bog, Dorset
Olly and I trudged off around Morden bog tother day, with high hopes of exquisite finds but only to have our young hopes dashed. We did see quite a lot of the normal, Woodlarks, Meadow Pipits, Stonechats, fresh arrived Swallows, Hobbies and a few local Buzzards. However, we were totally disconsolate with distances involved to tog these aforementioned modern dinosaurs and so I can only offer this altogether poor representation of our mighty efforts...... I think Olly ground his teeth and binned all of his. He has higher aspirations than do I.
Goodnight
Go to sleep--though of course you will not--
to tideless waves thundering slantwise against
strong embankments, rattle and swish of spray
dashed thirty feet high, caught by the lake wind,
scattered and strewn broadcast in over the steady
car rails! Sleep, sleep! Gulls' cries in a wind-gust
broken by the wind; calculating wings set above
the field of waves breaking.
Go to sleep to the lunge between foam-crests,
refuse churned in the recoil. Food! Food!
Offal! Offal! that holds them in the air, wave-white
for the one purpose, feather upon feather, the wild
chill in their eyes, the hoarseness in their voices--
sleep, sleep . . .
Gentlefooted crowds are treading out your lullaby.
Their arms nudge, they brush shoulders,
hitch this way then that, mass and surge at the crossings--
lullaby, lullaby! The wild-fowl police whistles,
the enraged roar of the traffic, machine shrieks:
it is all to put you to sleep,
to soften your limbs in relaxed postures,
and that your head slip sidewise, and your hair loosen
and fall over your eyes and over your mouth,
brushing your lips wistfully that you may dream,
sleep and dream--
A black fungus springs out about the lonely church doors--
sleep, sleep. The Night, coming down upon
the wet boulevard, would start you awake with his
message, to have in at your window. Pay no
heed to him. He storms at your sill with
cooings, with gesticulations, curses!
You will not let him in. He would keep you from sleeping.
He would have you sit under your desk lamp
brooding, pondering; he would have you
slide out the drawer, take up the ornamented dagger
and handle it. It is late, it is nineteen-nineteen--
go to sleep, his cries are a lullaby;
his jabbering is a sleep-well-my-baby; he is
a crackbrained messenger.
The maid waking you in the morning
when you are up and dressing,
the rustle of your clothes as you raise them--
it is the same tune.
At table the cold, greeninsh, split grapefruit, its juice
on the tongue, the clink of the spoon in
your coffee, the toast odors say it over and over.
The open street-door lets in the breath of
the morning wind from over the lake.
The bus coming to a halt grinds from its sullen brakes--
lullaby, lullaby. The crackle of a newspaper,
the movement of the troubled coat beside you--
sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep . . .
It is the sting of snow, the burning liquor of
the moonlight, the rush of rain in the gutters packed
with dead leaves: go to sleep, go to sleep.
And the night passes--and never passes--
--William Carlos Williams
We spotted our glorious London Mayor, Boris Johnson, by a side entrance at the back of the building posing for chummy photos with his Conservative sycophants and fund-raisers, but as soon as he saw us he dashed inside.
London Mayor Boris Johnson sneaks in and out of secret Tory Conference as activists protest at the entrance. Hammersmith Town Hall, London 27.02.2011
Thanks to a leaked email and Twitter the scores of Conservative Party delegates who turned up at Hammersmith Town Hall today for a secret London Regional Conservative Party conference had to run the gauntlet of a small-but-loud picket of protesters who were angry at the severe local funding cuts already implemented by the right-wing Conservative Hammersmith & Fulham Council which has just announced a punitive budget for the next year, slashing front line services to the elderly, the disabled, immigrant support and child protection services.
Hammermith & Fulham's Conservative councillors have gone further than Communities Secretary Eric "Jabba The Hut" Pickles' 11.5% cuts by a further 3.5%. In their last round of budget cuts the council admitted even last year that they were already putting the lives of disabled residents at risk. Last year's cuts are nothing compared to this latest round.
The cuts are already blighting poorer people's lives in the borough, with much, much more to come, yet the council is happily earmarking £35,000,000 for the construction of a 14-storey luxury apartment development for private resale on land which previously hosted a large number of Community Groups and Services.
This conference was also intended to serve as a platform for "Star Turn of the day" London Mayor Boris Johnson to launch his re-election campaign. Johnson, however, sneaked in by a side door to avoid having to listen to people's legitimate complaints and, like a cowardly thief in the night when his speech inside had finished he sneaked out of a disused Service Entrance down the side of the building on his bicycle, refusing to pose for a single photograph. In his haste to escape our cameras he crashed into the kerb, slipped off his saddle (almost crushing his infamously fertile Tory testicles in the process) and almost fell over before wobbling off into the distance like a massive, corn-fed Norman Wisdom and almost crashing into a pedestrian.
The fifty police officers (including a Metropolitan Police catering van) who had to attend this meeting cost around £15,000 for the day according to a senior police officer we spoke to, and bearing this huge cost to the taxpayers it is even more odious that Boris Johnson should sneak in and out of the building specifically to avoid any contact whatsoever with the very Londoners he frequently claims to champion. In fact from the attendees of the conference not a single Conservative politician would engage the crowd - unless you count the unknown individual who got onto the external stairs leading to the conference room and turned round to flick the "V's" at the protesters below.
The police reported that they were very happy with the behaviour of the 100 or so protesters.

Due to very low number of darters in the park, Bharatpur is not the same this year. I was disappointed that I'd not be able to catch darters in action. One late afternoon, all of a sudden a darter came up with a fish and the whole atmosphere got charged up, photographers and birders dashed towards the lake to see this otherwise common event. Sharing one shot from the sequence I was able get that day.
The houses here are of two designs. The type seen in the last photo is flat-fronted, pebble-dashed all over, with corner windows and entrance at the side. In the type seen here there is a projection at the front, exposed brickwork at ground floor level, no corner windows and an entrance facing the road. The door on the left-hand house of this pair must be original I think. I am not sure about its windows. The blank, expressionlessly staring replacement windows (to say nothing of the plastic door) on the right-hand house are especially lamentable. Everyone around her drives a commercial vehicle of some sort.
