Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year
On a walk around the Addington Cemetery with a wonderful Flickr friend. February 13, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
There is so much damaged in the cemetery because of the earthquake we have had. It is such a pity as I don' think it will ever be fully repaired.
The Addington Cemetery was established in 1858 when the Scottish Presbyterians of St Andrew’s Church purchased land for a cemetery in Selwyn Street. Although not the first cemetery in Christchurch, Addington was in fact the first “public” cemetery, “being open to all persons of any religious community” and allowing the performance of any religious service “not contrary to public decency”.
The first burial took place on the 10th of November 1858. The cemetery has several persons of note buried within its grounds including activist Kate Sheppard, Christchurch Mayor Tommy Taylor and members of the pioneer family, the Deans.

I do not know what she cooked for dinner, as I had not been invited. Not that time, al least. (Pondoland is the eastern section of the Transkei and she was a typical Pondo)-
Attraversavo la zona della tribu (oggi la vogliono chiamare etnia) dei Pondo, nell'est del Transkei. Non so cosa bolliva in pentola, perchè non ero stato invitato a cena. Non quella volta.

I decided on an easier subject today rather than yesterdays attempt at photographing a Hobby at Stodmarsh which was very frustrating and unsuccessful with my SX60. By the time I'd managed to get the camera to focus, the bird was a dark dot 500m away.
This female Linnet did at least have the decency to keep still for a few shots.

This is one of the photos from a Power Point presentation explaining a study in Augusta, Georgia about a street named for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The “Claiming A Street Named King” Project is the brainchild of Rev. Terence A. Dicks of Augusta, Georgia.
These photos depict homes, building and abandoned structures along Martin Lutheran King, Jr. Boulevard in Augusta, Georgia.
It began with research in Athens and Augusta (Georgia) through the University Of Georgia School Of Environmental Design.
Research was led by Dr. Mary Anne Akers in collaboration with Georgia Legal Services Program, Georgia State Trade Association of Non-profit Developers (G-STAND) and Neighborhood Works America, INC.
“Claiming A Street Named King” Project study in Augusta, Georgia – conducted along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard - shows areas that need economic assistance – and that’s the same issue in many American cities that have streets named for civil rights leaders

Uh, well, I'm not sure that was the name of the park. Lots of dogs, and owners of dogs. Not a lot of pit bulls. Sorry, not a big pit bull fan. Mostly because they are ugly (well, I think they're ugly). I don't like English boxers for the same reason. A cat at least has the decency to be discrete about doing its business. Not a dog.
Introducing: Treazon
Tuberose stems unveil toxic wintergreen; narcotic blossoms stare at death across the street.
Nightfall. Window screens.
Treazon is tuberose at its darkest and most dangerous moment – right after dark.
From than on, the seemingly innocent little white flowers’ aroma is so intoxicating,
that young ladies were prohibited from walking through tuberose fields, from fear that
their decency will be betrayed, and their innocence defeated by lust.

Another senseless tragedy- a tree loses its life to an antiquated Christian ritual, only to be cast off into a garbage bin when it’s no longer of use. Have we no decency?
Take look at the rear 'couple'. Once I heard the commotion, I just had to capture this 'special moment'.
This image may offend some. My apologies if this image offends anyone.

Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.
Hi Guys please share comment and let me know what you think. These 3 images are 1 My original copyrighted image. The second is a NEXT T Shirt. And the last is my image layered over the T shirt with a 50% opacity so you can see the shirt through my image. Next have NOT even had the decency to ask to use the shot or offered anything for the shot they have just taken the image from online and used it. The shirt is so popular if you look on the website it has already sold out in many sizes
Toronto, perhaps a better view of a bright and wonderful city than the one that is being seen all over the world right now in the news because of an errant rogue Mayor who want give up his seat in the name of common decency. Taken from Port Credit on a cold and windy November day.

I've been seriously thinking about legally changing my name. This is now the fourth time I've sat down and really thought about it and each time, I am more convinced that I should do it especially with the new business.
If you have a simple name, count yourself lucky. My name and its origins are actually very complicated. Starting with my first name. I am named after my aunt who died before I was born. Unfortunately my mother couldn't really bring herself to call me by my first name despite picking it because it was rather painful to do because my aunt died young, both she and my dad started calling me by my middle name which is my dad's mother's maiden name. Friends were often confused when they came over because they wondered who "this person" was that my parents were calling me. My last name is the strangest of them all. It has no family history at all. Apparently my dad's father picked the name off of a traveling doctor who was passing through and simply adopted it as his own, so I'm not really sure what if any family name we have on my dad's side.
Here is where the frustration kicks in. In my whole entire life, I'm talking birth until now, there have been exactly 3 people to EVER pronounce it correctly. One was a fifth grade teacher who had my brother a few years before me, the second was a substitute teacher, and the third was my high school choir teacher who was a former opera singer. That's it! Can you imagine what that's like. Every time I answer the phone I must endure some person on the other end not only butchering my name, but then asking me how I pronounce it, then when I do phonetically spell it out for them, they either continue to pronounce it incorrectly, or they laugh and say, oh well, I'll just call you by your first name. I find that absolutely disrespectful when I come across the latter. I understand if you can't get it--American tongues don't really get the sounds correctly, but at least have the decency to have some respect for the person and whatever heritage they may have attached to their name.
Anyway, I've had enough. I thought for a long time about the name because I thought it had a little more relevance, but knowing its more random than anything, I don't feel the need to attach to it. I thought about taking on my mother's maiden name which I like, but I'm rather attached to my initials. I used them in such a creative way for the first ever name I had for my photog business so in that way they are sentimental to me. For two years now, I've been using the name I'd like to use on my business cards and website. I only accept credit/debit/cash, so writing checks to me is not an option, therefore I haven't had to deal with it, but I find its much easier with the shortened version of my last name, to conduct business without all this upfront hubaloo of people screwing it up.
I did some research and the only thing stopping me now is laziness. It's this processssss with about 20 steps to it involving multiple forms, notaries, going to court, being interviewed by a judge, more required signatures, paying upwards of $300, and finally getting your name changed on all of your cards and social security and the like.
By the by, I hope this doesn't rock your worlds, but I've been going by a nickname on Flickr. At first when I joined I refused to give out my name, but several people kept poking and poking wondering what to address me as, so I just gave a nickname, Bee or Bev, and have been going by that ever since on here and if you notice whenever I talk about friends or family I only use the first letter of their names. It's just to protect myself, friends, family. I talk about a lot of stuff and I try to be as open as possible as these are essentially records of my days as footnotes of my life to myself. As much as I've come to respect a lot of you Flickrati out there, I don't know the you-you's? I only know the internet yous which for all I know, could be anybody, so in that way, I don't think you need to know "everything" about me. I've met a lot of people here and other social media type sites the feel the same way. There are just too many crazies out there and my trust is at a high high premium.
Image: here are the pulled up carrots. Not that big at all despite it being 3 weeks over the time alleged for harvest. I think the soil was just too compact for them to really grow outdoors, so I've started a new batch indoors which I'll transfer out later in a giant tub. These are supposed to get to 6-7 inches at least, but these came out more like 3, maybe 4 inches each.
Integrity is praised and starves.

The Marshes of Glynn is one of Sidney Lanier's poems featured in "Hymns of the Marshes," an unfinished set of lyrical nature poems that describe the open salt marshes of Glynn County in coastal Georgia. The poem describes a marsh in detail, while evoking senses of patience and common decency.

I could stand for
Introvert
Introvert people are difficult
to know
you know
On the outside
they seem calm
so calm
They can even
be
immobile sometimes
almost as if nothing happened
inside them
as if they were detached
distant
cold, even
You tell them something
moving
and they don't seem to react
as if
they didn't have emotions
or
barely
Now
tell me ...
is it worth
talking
coming closer
to someone who has
so little
emotions
?
Wouldn't that be
a giant waste
of you life ?
But
but
before you answer
ladies and gentlemen
come closer
don't be afraid
and
come
have a look inside
have a good look
if you please
Don't be afraid
but hold tight
for it may be a bumpy ride
Inside
inside
is a different story
Inside
everything that happens
every emotion
every single bit of it
is
felt
and
lived
fully
and
with
intensity
Every wave of
feeling
is resounding
and bouncing
and echoing
It gets so amplified
that any emotion
can become a tidal wave
shaking everything
inside
and then some more
Most of the time
it stays inside
and
even when fire rages within every limb
and
even when the heart is ready to explode
and
even when tears are drowning him inside
and
even when a scream of joy fills his every bone
the outside remains
calm
apparently
Hovewer
ladies and gentlemen
with attention
careful attention
you could see
you could know
and even feel
what is going on inside
Oh yes
and sometimes
some of you among the assistance already know this I'm sure
sometimes
in some circumstances
say for instance when they are fully submerged by an emotion so strong
or
say in some intimate circumstances
that decency will prevent us from detailing any further
and they let it all out
oh then
you will not require such a careful attention anymore
and
that fire coming from will wipe out anything standing in front of them
But
ladies and gentlement
fear not
for these occurrences are
only
for the few who can dare to approach them
close enough
long enough
For the rest of us
they will continue to appear
as if nothing happens
Take this man for instance
yes this one
This picture of him could have been taken a few days ago
and he would have looked the same, I'm sure
as if nothing had happened in between
Maybe a slight change in the brightness of his eyes
or in the shape of the corner of his mouth
or in the way he pronounces certain words
would have revealed
to the keenest observer
the enormity of what just happened inside him
A very rare event
truth be told
as a few fingers would be enough to count the times something similar happened
A very rare
and
extremely
violent
event
Imagine
an exlosion
No ... wait ... an implosion
Yes ... an implosion
Imagine
an implosion
Imagine
everything inside
every thing
suddenly
in an instant
sucked in
shrinked into a tiny tiny particle
the size of a half a grain of dust
as if
everything
inside
disappeared
in an instant
in a blinding flash of light
with a PFFFFFFT-like sound
Imagine
a super nova
in reverse
inside of a man
Imagine
everything he believed
everything he knew
everything he had built
inside
wiped out
into void
in half a second
Imagine
the sudden
absolute
emptiness
Imagine
nothing left
to hold on
Imagine
wait ...
wait another second ...
did I say that everything was wiped out ?
really ?
oh
well ... this is not fully accurate
wait ...
because
after the first shock
after the feeling of loss
after the immense pain
when the blood started to flow in his veins again
when he started breathing again
when he finally came back to his senses
he could see it
clearly
This tiny tiny speck
of dust
floating in the middle of the inner void
all that was left
after the comfortable clutter which was filling him before just got annihilated
a tiny speck of dust
which laid hidden
under layers and layers of useless furniture
piled up for years
Mere shadows
they were
Light invaded him
and went though everything
and wiped out all the shadows
leaving only this speck of dust
for him to see
and to hold on
A speck of dust as a fixed point
inside
a grain of dust
containing every he is
a grain of dust
containing
his essence
his very nature
his every dream
a grain of sand
which
he would now have to let grow
unfold
inside of him
let it get bigger
let it fill him
in place of the old shadows of fear
a grain of dust
which was not fully lost
and found again
...
Maybe
by getting really close
you could have seen it as it happened
in the way his eyes blinked

From 1977 to 1982 I had the honor to work for Idaho Governor John Evans. He was a quiet and exceptional leader who set the highest examples of integrity and decency in public service, qualities needed so much more today. His work lives on through all the best qualities of our lives in Idaho..

Some eye candy by the lakeside in the Xixi park. The two girls in summer dress had got off the boardwalk and trying to take pictures of themselves near the waterlilies close by. They were using their iPhones. I blatantly pointed the camera at them and took this shot, but they fortunately ignored me completely. Probably the presence of the Chinese family with me (my friends) helped a bit. However decency and common courtesy demanded that I did not attempt to take more than one shot of them. We are now in the Xixi Wetlands Reserve in Hangzhou, China and are heading towards the exit. Detailed notes about the reserve appear in previous captions, earlier in this album.

Jimmy Carter (born 1924)
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. Nor could he do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis, instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations, and characterized by a shortage of gas for consumers at the pumps and high costs for home heating oil. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, crippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

This package of Sunflower seeds was given to me at the LGBT Pride festival last year by the mother of Sean Kennedy. He was murdered in a hate crime against him because his sexual orientation. I spoke at length with this courageous woman, Elke Kennedy who spends most of her time now spreading her sons tragic story and educating people about hate crimes. www.seanslastwish.org/ She gives out the sunflower seed packets as a tangible symbol of hope for a future free of hate. It is my wish that she doesnt have to crusade for what I would consider "common decency" anymore.

Said to commemorate the centenary of the Bard’s death in 1896, the fountain was a central landmark in the historic town of Dalkeith. As a symbol of the town's history from the very threshold of the 20th century, it has been a source of inspiration to me for a number of years. However, almost forgotten until recently, the Dalkeith Burns fountain has not always been looked upon so favourably.
In 1928, the fountain became an object of fierce controversy. Councillor James Cochrane moved a resolution to remove the fountain from its prominent High Street position to a more secluded spot. He argued, “in a new position it would not desecrate the finer human feelings as the design violates all the canons of art, beauty and good taste”. The majority of the local councillors had voted to remove it.
A petition against the council was signed by 562 residents and at a ratepayers meeting Councillor James Lean said: "I am not saying that the fountain is a fit memorial to the national bard. It is not. A fitting memorial does not exist in this or any other town. Burns does not require iron nor wood, nor stone, nor marble, nor alabaster... he is already enshrined in the hearts of the common people and for all time. It might be the fountain violates all canons of art but what opportunity has the average individual for studying art in any shape or form? If the councillors are concerned with the canons of art, the Burns fountain is the last place they should be considering. There are plenty of places in Dalkeith that violate the canons of all human decency, never mind the canons of art".
Councillor Lean’s impassioned and intelligent argument prevailed and the fountain remained in the High Street for a further 40 years, where it was always intended to be Dalkeith’s permanent memorial to Robert Burns

This car drove into my picture. How dare it! At least it had the decency to (somewhat) match the building.
Grandma Julie was in charge of the girls. Well, she was supposed to be in charge of the girls. Does it look like an adult was in charge? You should have seen the mud tracked up and down Julia's back. And Evelyn may or may not have been worse. At least Grandma Julie had the decency to run a load of laundry following the escapade.
