Survival of most species depends on the loving care of parents during the upbringing of their offspring.
With a few exceptions it is usually the female that protects, feeds and teaches the young ones.
On a recent trip I came upon this Mom that is taking her "job" very seriously.
One could wonder if she isn't overdoing the "Eat your greens!" thing a bit, but she could also be concerned, and rightfully worried, about her offspring's pale complexion.
Be that as it may, but a healthy breakfast at 06:56 could only be beneficial in building a strong body.

Mas agora o meu dia-a-dia
É no meio da gataria

Eu sou mais eu, mais gata

This building currently serves as the Lake Worth Beach City hall. It once held an auditorium that had a capacity for 350 people on the third floor. This is clearly seen on the front of the building because it still bears the words municipal auditorium.
The building features Moorish towers that were designed by G. Sherman Childs. He came to this area in 1913 to work for Addison Mizner until he was able opened his own firm.
ThIs building was built to be hurricane resistant as well as to provide shelter since the Great Hurricane of 1928 destroyed so such property before in this area. Money ran but while the building was being built due to the onset of the Great Depression. Local businesses helped financially and the building was finally on dedicated on November 28, 1935.
The basement and first floor rooms of this building were used for assemblies and meetings. During WWII the basement was used to entertain the Lake Worth USO.
In 1953 the Lake Worth Playhouse began performances in the building but then closed in the 1970s.
Today this building is still in use and holds all of the city governmental departments.

[ENG] The Madrasa of Granada (Muslim religious institution dedicated to the teaching of theology, Koranic studies, law, philosophy, astronomy and literature) was built in 1349, at the time of the Nasrid king Yusuf I, and developed its activity until 1492. Of the original building only the oratory (restored in 1976), and some pieces of the facade deposited in the Provincial Archaeological Museum. The current structure is articulated, like the primitive madrassa, around a patio surrounded by marble columns on the lower level and a structure adintelada on the top, and a horseshoe arch with a alfiz supported by two fine marble columns give way to the oratory of square plant, with the mihrab in front under a horseshoe arch with light and dark alternate segments, its walls are of masonry profusely decorated with motifs of lacer and polychrome plaster ataurique that halfway pass to octagonal floor through four tubes decorated with mocharabes. In the lower part there are pairs of horseshoe arches framed in alfiz, and in the upper one a frieze of lattice windows that illuminate the room. It is covered with a wooden alfarje with an octagonal lantern in the center (which is not the original). Other pictures in Oratory, Madrasa of Granada (Spain) album.

The Euphrasian Basilica (Croatian: Eufrazijeva bazilika, Italian: Basilica Eufrasiana) is a basilica in Poreč, Croatia. The episcopal complex, including, apart the basilica itself, a sacristy, a baptistery and the bell tower of the nearby archbishop's palace, is one of the best examples of early Byzantine architecture in the Mediterranean region.
The Euphrasian basilica has for the most part retained its original shape, but accidents, fires and earthquakes have altered a few details. Since it is the third church to be built on the same site, it conceals previous buildings, for example the great floor mosaic of the previous basilica from the 5th century. Because of its exceptional value, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997.
The earliest basilica was dedicated to Saint Maurus of Parentium and dates back to the second half of the 4th century. The floor mosaic from its oratory, originally part of a large Roman house, is still preserved in the church garden. This oratorium was already expanded in the same century into a church composed of a nave and one aisle (basilicae geminae). The fish (symbol of Christ) on the floor mosaic dates from this period. Coins with the portrayal of emperor Valens (365–378), found in the same spot, confirm these dates.
The present basilica, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the sixth century during the period of Bishop Euphrasius. It was built from 553 on the site of the older basilica that had become dilapidated. For the construction, parts of the former church were used and the marble blocks were imported from the coast of the Sea of Marmara. The wall mosaics were executed by Byzantian masters and the floor mosaics by local experts. The construction took about ten years. Euphrasius, holding the church in his arms, is represented on one of the mosaics on the apse, next to St. Maurus.
Following the earthquake of 1440 the southern wall of the central nave of the basilica was restored, so that in place of the windows which were destroyed, other were built in the Gothic style.
The most striking feature of the basilica are its mosaics, dating from the 6th century, and which are considered amongst the finest examples of Byzantine art in the world.

~it is always painful to accept the painful reality...
take them as experiences... take them as something that enriches your life.. that makes you more and more complete as a human being
you don't need to take them as lessons.. or you don't need to forget them... make them parts of who you are and move on... embrace happiness and pain as they come along
after all, life is a series of experiences ALLAH has decided for each of us... life is beautiful ...~

萬神廟的穹頂 The Pantheon dome. The concrete for the coffered dome was poured in moulds, probably mounted on temporary scaffolding. The oculus is the main source of natural light.
The Pantheon (/ˈpænθiən/ or US /ˈpænθiɒn/; Latin: Pantheon,[nb 1] from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion meaning "[temple] of every god") is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The present building was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD. He retained Agrippa's original inscription, which has confused its date of construction.
The building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).萬神廟（Pantheon），又譯萬神殿、潘提翁神殿，位於今義大利羅馬，古羅馬時期的宗教建築，後改建成一座教堂，是古羅馬時期重要的建築成就之一。公元609年拜占廷皇帝將萬神廟獻給羅馬教皇卜尼法斯四世，後者將它更名為聖母與諸殉道者教堂（Santa Maria ad Martyres），這也是今天萬神廟的正式名稱。

This is a 17th century chapel dedicated to Santo António.
Armação de Pêra was named after the inland region of Pêra in Portugal, where the fishermen came down from originally and armação, which was a specially adapted boat, with a combined netting system, designed by the Moors.
It is here, on the beachfront that the remains of a 17th century fort still stand - built to defend the village from pirates and corsairs by a wealthy fishing boat owner. There is a chapel inside, dedicated to Santo António, which is also 17th century.
Dedicated to hb19… I know these letters represent to best of Flickr… if you have been
fortunate to receive a visit from this creative and talented “SHOOTER” you would
understand where I’m coming from… His drive is inspirational… His comments are
cherished… I don’t come close to his sky color or his signature style.
But my shot is to say…
Thank you for your friendship, “I TIP MY LENS” to this giant of a person…

Inside the Generating Hall of the Hoover Dam, Nevada/Arizona, USA.
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I's young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way ~ Mama Said (MetallicA)
Dedicated to the greatest champion of all time : Muhammad Ali.
In the worst moments of my life, his attitude and documentaries like "When we were kings" were helping me to keep my head above water.
I wrote to my grandfather 6 months ago to tell him to fight disease with strength like Muhammad was. A few days later, he passed away.
I'm sad Muhammad Ali passed away too.
Hands-on, time for training, for boxing, for fighting.
"Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
RIP Muhammad Ali.
DEDICATED TO MYSELF.

The Cathedral Church of St Columba in Oban is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Argyll and the Isles and mother church of the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles. The cathedral is located on the sea front at the northern end of Oban.
The cathedral was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the foundation stone being laid in 1932 and the building completed in 1959. The work was partially funded by money raised by the diocese in the USA, Canada and Ireland. It is constructed from pink Peterhead and blue Inverawe granite.
In the Middle Ages the cathedral of the diocese of Argyll was north of Oban on the island of Lismore. Dedicated to St Moluag, Lismore Cathedral is now a Church of Scotland parish church.

Itsukushima, Japan
If you ever visit Japan and head down to Hiroshima then Itsukushima island is a major tourist destination after the A-Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park. It is popularly known as Miyajima, which in Japanese means the Shrine Island. However, getting there is a different story and by train and ferry it's probably 1½ hours each way. The smart money is to go by boat that sail from the jetty right next to the A-Bomb Dome. These take 45 minutes each way and dock near the Itsukushima Shrine complex and "O-Torii" - the grand gate.
Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社 Itsukushima-jinja) is a Shinto shrine on the island, but best known for its "floating" torii gate. The shrine complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Japanese government has designated several buildings and possessions as National Treasures.
The shrine has been destroyed several times, but the first shrine buildings were probably erected in the 6th century. The present shrine dates from the mid-16th century, and is believed to follow an earlier design from the 12th century. That design was established in 1168, when funds were provided by the warlord Taira no Kiyomori.
The shrine was designed and built on pier-like structures over the bay so that it would appear to be floating on the water, separate from the sacred island, which could be approached by the devout. Near the main shrine is a noh stage which dates from 1590. Noh theatre performances have long been used to pay homage to the gods through the ritual acting out of key events in Shinto myth.
The shrine is dedicated to the three daughters of Susano-o no Mikoto, Shinto god of seas and storms, and brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu (tutelary deity of the Imperial Household). Because the island itself has been considered sacred, commoners were not allowed to set foot on it throughout much of its history to maintain its purity. To allow pilgrims to approach, the shrine was built like a pier over the water, so that it appeared to float, separate from the land. The red entrance gate, or torii, was built over the water for much the same reason. Commoners had to steer their boats through the torii before approaching the shrine.
Retaining the purity of the shrine is so important that since 1878, no deaths or births have been permitted near it. To this day, pregnant women are supposed to retreat to the mainland as the day of delivery approaches, as are the terminally ill or the very elderly whose passing has become imminent. Burials on the island are forbidden.
The dramatic gate, or torii, of Itsukushima Shrine is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions, and the most recognizable and celebrated feature of the Itsukushima shrine, and the view of the gate in front of the island's Mount Misen is classified as one of the Three Views of Japan (along with the sand bar Amanohashidate, and Matsushima Bay). Although a gate has been in place since 1168, the current gate dates back only to 1875. The gate, built of decay-resistant camphor wood, is about 16 metres high. The placement of an additional leg in front of and behind each main pillar identifies the torii as reflecting the style of Ryōbu Shintō (dual Shinto), a medieval school of esoteric Japanese Buddhism associated with the Shingon Sect.
This photo is dedicated to a raccoon. Yup, that's right, a raccoon. Sorry, but he/she/it/hu has no flickr link, at least that I know of. Anyway, this is another spot that I had visited on my previous trip to San Francisco, so I knew this composition was up there. What I had not realized is that they have made it slightly more difficult to scale over the fence to get to the edge of the cliff that affords this view. By they I mean the well-meaning authorities who are probably trying to keep reckless photographers from plunging over the hill and landing splat on the road below. Nonetheless, I was determined, so I ended up in this spot once more.
As I was setting up my tripod I heard a rustling behind me. At first I thought it was Aaron trying to figure out where I had disappeared to, but then I figured it was moving much too quietly in the dark of the night to be Aaron. ;-) And lo, a raccoon popped out of the brush just on the other side of the fence that my back was to, about a foot and a half behind me. At first I figured I had been sitting so still he did not realize I was there so I rustled and made a little noise to alert him to my presence, which only seemed to fire his curiosity instead and he began pressing up against the fence stretching his paw through trying to reach my open bag behind me. I chuckled a little, he was a good 8 inches short but determined anyway. He stretched and pushed for a good five or seven minutes, and I went back to photographing, the two of us taking our individual pleasures from trying to satisfy our unique curiosities.
As a side note, as is usually the case with the situations I sometimes get myself in, it was much trickier actually getting back over the fence than the initial crossing. But I managed. The raccoon had ended up trundling back over to the rest of the group it seemed, where he enjoyed their attention for several moments.
I have one more Bay Bridge... well maybe two. We shall see how much longer my interest holds. In truth it has already waned, but I am sort of forcing myself to post several of the same topic just because of the value they have seen in a group. At least I think they do. The next shot will be this same spot but taken with the Fuji 617 pano camera.
Dedicated to all who have mastered the art of waiting, feeding anticipation with desire, but without frustration because they know that Spring will eventually come.
You may lie on the grass distracted, but time keeps ticking relentlessly and small and sleepy flowers will keep growing by your side, silently.
Spring will come and you cannot stop it.
And when it comes, it makes a splendid show: you will be amazed by multicolored flowers reaching for a blue sky.
