Dedicated to my mama
My grandpa was buried on this day, 21 years ago. Ever since, thinking of him I felt pity for myself.... Never thought of how she is truly feeling about losing her dearest friend, her father. Children are so selfish....
I was selfish.....

This pretty lady is a Philodromus margaritatus, one of the running crab spiders.
This particular one was not doing any running at all when I found her.
I found her on top of her eggs on the side of the summer house, protecting them, and when I returned two weeks later she was still sitting there in the exact same place on top of her eggs

Virgina, by Tori Amos
Summer leaves are gone and the time has come
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away
Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Dedicated to my wife, Shelly
Right now my wife is spending a couple weeks in NYC visiting her daughter, attending a writers conference and is hard at work on her first novel. Her first chapbook of poetry was published last fall. Besides working with me at our small business she is a writer, educator and speaker. I miss you! Keep working on the book babe, when you sell it we are going to be rich!! :-)
This was taken in the fall of 2000. On my first day ever to NYC she took me to Brooklyn Heights for this majestic view of Lower Manhattan!! I will never forget!
Dedicated to Saint Peter, the abbey church of Champagne is not located, as one would think, in the bubbly-producing hills of northeastern France, but much further south, on the banks of River Rhône, between Lyon and Valence, in the northern part of the département of Ardèche, i.e., in the old province of Vivarais.
Stylistically, this large church, built right next to the busy and noisy thoroughfare that Highway 86 is today, is very homogeneous and was built around 1150, replacing an older, 11th century church of which two capitals have been re-used in the nave. Numerous sculpted fragments from the previous church were also gathered as demolition progressed and reinserted haphazardly in the new one. But built by whom exactly, and for what exact purpose? That is much more mysterious.
From the scant written evidence that has come to us, we can surmise that it was originally built by the Albon family of powerful local lords, probably for regular canons of one or the other obedience. In 1275, it has become a priory of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Chef. In 1172, the canons of the chapter of the Saint Maurice Cathedral in Vienne had given a number of churches to the abbey of Saint-Chef, but the charter doesn’t specify which ones. If we are right in thinking that the Champagne church was originally owned by canons, it is possible that those canons were the ones from the Vienne chapter, and if so, the Champagne church may have been among those turned over to the abbey in 1172. The deal would have been facilitated by the fact that, from 1119, the archbishop of Vienne was also the protector of the abbey of Saint-Chef. Furthermore, it has been noted (in particular in my Zodiaque collection reference book, Vivarais et Gévaudan romans, by Robert Saint-Jean) that the Champagne church offers many similarities with the abbey church of Saint-Chef, in a more accomplished version, as the former came half a century after the latter.
The link between Saint-Chef and Champagne, however, did not last. Because of deep and enduring management problems at Saint-Chef where the monks could not elect a new abbot, the archbishop of Vienne was first appointed as abbot ad perpetuitam by a papal Bull of John XXII in 1320. A second Bull, in 1328, took away from the abbey the Saint Peter Priory, under the pretext that its income was not sufficient to support the prior and his monks. The church then became a simple parish church. However, let’s not forget that, at the time, the Rhône River was the border between the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire: the archbishop of Vienne had his seat on the left bank, on the Empire side, while the Saint Peter Priory was on the right bank, on the kingdom side; the archbishop may have wanted to be able to take refuge in France in the event things went sour on the Empire side... which would explain why the priory compound was indeed fortified at the same time!
Seriously damaged during the Wars of Religion in the 1560s, the church undertook important repairs during the early 1600s: it is then the the three cupolas on squinches roofing the nave were put in place in lieu of the previous Romanesque barrel vault. The church, much too big for such a small village, continued to degrade over the decades. By 1750, the upper floors of the tower-porch that framed the western entrance were in ruin, and one century later, what was left of that tower-porch was razed to allow for the enlargement of what was then the royal road number 86. This veritable act of vandalism prompted the authorities to protect the monument in 1854 by listing it as a Historic Landmark.
A systematic restoration took place between 1888 and 1894, during which (it is a rare enough occurrence to be duly noted and lauded!) all the add-ons erected after the end of the Romanesque period were eliminated. The original church was saved. In 1968, three regular Augustinian canons from a Swiss convent came and settled in Champagne, reviving the Saint Victor offshoot of the Augustinians which had been dead since the French Revolution. They proved extremely successful and in 1976, Pope Paul VI elevated the priory to abbey status. Today, the church is both canonical and parochial.
However, the very exceptional characteristic of this abbey is that, because the original monastery buildings had been destroyed after the French Revolution and replaced by ordinary village houses, the Augustinians had to build anew where there was space available, i.e., a couple hundred meters away from the church...! Thus, there is no proper enclosure, the canons live in the middle of the village, and walk across it to go attend to their duties. This is much too in sæculum for my taste, and not a proper way to practice the life of a so-called “regular” canon. I understand the appeal that the church may have had, but my opinion is that, owing to the present-day configuration of the village, it should have been deemed unsuitable. Likewise, the liturgy of this congregation does not truly meet with my approval, the same way “reality TV” doesn’t: a floor-heated church, cleverly designed lighting everywhere, a discreet and elaborate sound system... quite a bit too Hollywoodian for me. But obviously, just like reality TV, it does have its appeal.
As announced yesterday, this is a closeup view of one of the twin-arched openings into the side wall of the nave, seen from the tribune. These openings are located in front of the high windows and allow some light to pass into the upper nave. In the background, you can glimpse the same opening on the other side of the nave.
Dedicated to Elisabeth Sladen (1 February 1946 - 19 April 2011)

Newton Faulkner - Straight Towards the Sun
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRoERv0UvCs
All I see
Drifting through my veins
Want to know where it all began
I see your face everywhere I turn
Now I’m left, eternally to *burn*
Eternally to…
When you're on your own
Killing time
Wanna make it right
Make it…
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Seems all the world has gone insane
All said and done
We are heading straight towards the sun
Nothing ventured nothing said
Seems all the words drift from my head
It's sad to say
But we are heading straight towards the sun. .
Commentary.
Steyning is a town at the northern end of the Adur Gap through the South Downs.
The town dates back to Saxon times over 1,000 years ago.
The Parish Church, originally dedicated to St. Cuthman,
eventually became jointly dedicated to St. Andrew.
Nearby Bramber Castle was built following the Norman invasion and acted as a defence against invasion from
south or north through the Adur valley.
Trade and religious disputes soured the relationship between
Bramber and Steyning for several centuries.
In the 14th. Century the River Adur began to silt up causing
the loss of trade and population to both places.
In 1614, the Alderman of Chichester founded Steyning
Grammar School, in Church Street, just off the High Street.
This Jacobean building still stands today, but the main school
is now sited at the northern end of the town.
The railway linking Guildford to Shoreham via Steyning
opened in 1861, but fell foul to the infamous Beeching cuts of the 1960’s.
The rail route has been preserved as a foot, bridle and cycle way, known as the Downs Link.
The Old Town Hall built in 1886 is now an Estate Agents.
Agriculture, brewing, tanning and brickmaking formed
the core of the economy in the late 19th. Century.
Today the town has three pubs, a good variety of shops,
a Health Centre, Public Library and Museum.
The Leisure Centre, including a swimming pool, was funded by the National Lottery.
Steyning Grammar School is now a comprehensive
serving 2,500 pupils from a wide area.
There is also a Primary School and Pre-School.
The town has cricket, football and athletic clubs.
Its prized architecture includes Tudor, Stuart, Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as 20th. and 21st. century developments.
The High Street’s main landmark is the tile-hung Clock-Tower.
The town hosts many walkers on the nearby South Downs
and day-trippers making for the coast, a few miles to the south.

GUADALUPE: This chapel is dedicated to “Our Lady of Guadalupe” and features a direct reproduction of the famous image miraculously imprinted on Juan Diego’s sarape. Above is a smaller, much older painting of “Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners”, one of the more notable mission era artifacts salvaged from the 1926 fire, along with the two statues that represent Mary’s parents, St. Joachim and St. Ann. To continue the tour, head outside the front doors and head to the Mission Cross.
A roll on roll off cargo ship, Longstone, turning itself as it leaves Tilbury 2, a dedicated terminal on the River Thames.
Tilbury Docks is a short distance up river, but must be awkward to get to as it involves a sharp turn then a lock, then further manoeuvres once inside the dock complex.
Longstone was moored and unloaded/loaded facing up river so needed to turn before sailing back to "the continent" (repeat, repeat) and did so without aid of tugs. Larger ships like car carriers, which moor close by (and also outside the main docks) need help...
It looks to me as if Longstone has thrusters in its stern: who knows, it may have them in its bow, too. It can even sail backward, as it did so a short distance before turning. It'll return a.s.a.p. and as I upload this (9.28 am, 3 May 2025) is back at Tilbury 2 from Zeebrugge, Belgium. Very efficient !

June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and this First Friday of the month is, as usual, dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
For the Lord had said to St Margaret Mary Alocoque: "In the excess of the mercy of My Heart, I promise you that My all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in My displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and My Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour."
This stained glass window is in the Jesuit church of the Immaculate Conception in New Orleans, LA.
Nathalie, as soon as I saw this I started thinking of you and of bulldogs, well it's not a bulldog but still it's so cute
This shot is dedicated to the talented *vavvi*, who wrote me an incredible testimonial the other day. Grazie Valerio!
So, this weekend I photographed my first wedding as a semi-official photographer. Let me tell you: wedding photography is difficult, challenging, and extremely tiring. Everything moves so fast, constantly changing light conditions, WB problems, moving around crowds of people trying to get interesting composition, bouncing flash off colored walls or wooden ceilings.... it's exhausting and hard. Whatever wedding photographers get paid I say they deserve every penny!
I took exactly 1960 shots in 8 hours, but there's only a handful I like. Here's a classic handheld mirror shot that I think came out pretty well.
Technical info: this is my first "strobist" shot. I set up an off-camera SB-800 on the window sill (camera right) with a diffusion panel between the flash and the model. I triggered the flash with my onboard flash via commander mode at -1.0 EV. It gave a beautiful light effect on the bride's face. I finally bought a decent flash for this wedding and this was my first attempt as a strobist, but I'm hooked now! Being able to create light wherever I need it is going to be great fun!
The Grade I Listed remains of Haverfordwest Priory, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.
Haverfordwest Priory was a house of Augustinian Canons Regular on the banks of the Western Cleddau. Dedicated to St. Mary and St. Thomas the Martyr and situated on land given by Robert de Haverford, it was first mentioned around 1200. According to William Latham Bevan, “It owned the three churches in Haverfordwest, Haroldston St. Issels, adjacent to it, Llanstadwell, Dale, Lambston, Camrose, Llanwynio, St. Ishmael’s (Milford Haven), Reynalton, and a chapel now extinct named Cristiswell, probably situated at Cresswell Quay, near Cresselly.
At the time of Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536–1541), it was acquired by Roger and Thomas Barlow, brothers of William Barlow, bishop of St David's.
From 1983 to 1996, the site (now under control of Cadw) was excavated and the outlines of the buildings are visible. Much architectural material of a high standard was discovered and can be seen in Haverfordwest museum. Also unearthed was a unique medieval garden with raised beds.
