I thought that my town did not have an attractive Shinto shrine. However, I should change the recognition.
In August 4, 2013 Azuma shrine Nerima ward.

僕の町には魅力的な神社がないと思っていましたが、認識を改めたほうがいいかもしれません。

Please No Invites, and if possible I like you to view this in large, my first this year.
This is for Joyce, please visit her wonderful stream,
I wasn't expecting any company at Somerset Road cutting this morning, but nothing seems to stop this chap.
There are many things to observe and photograph in the south Florida rookeries during the winter. Many of our birds begin their courtship, breeding, and nesting season. It's a thrill to observe. At this time, they are usually sporting their nicest plumage and often are exhibiting quite affectionate behavior.
One of the most thrilling to photograph is the great blue heron. Possessing an impressive wingspan when flying, they make everyone take notice. Such grace and beauty in motion, but it's when they return with the most carefully chosen stick to add to add to the nest that you can truly appreciate them. The male will fly in, land at the nest. offer it to its mate, they jockey it back and forth a bit, carefully place it in the exact spot for which it was intended, then usually celebrate that addition to the nest. Often they will intertwine their necks and look towards one another, almost as if to make a heart shape. I know that sounds weird, but those of you who have witnessed this behavior, know what I'm talking about. Sure they may squabble from time to time, but you know that they're union is strong. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view. Happy hump day as well.

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a 3/5 scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. It stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. 58,195 names of fallen servicemen and women are inscribed on it.
This Traveling Memorial stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was made for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships and to allow people may not be able to make the trip to Washington DC the opportunity to visit and honor loved ones in their home town.

Ironic?
CCC X
Medieval Life
In the far North, a forge can be found. Owned by Balig the Blacksmith whose fame spreads throughout the land. Throughout the harsh bitter cold climate, Balig works hard at his trade and produces only the most finest of weapons, truely dedicated to his work!
I've been building this during Iron Builder and was tempted to use the mystery part so I could have this as a IB entry as well, but I chose not to.
I discovered many new techniques while building this, as it was a headache to get every piece of wood panalling to fit perfectly together. The stone work is also a combination of 3 techniques including literally leaving an open hole and then filling it with different bricks so that they are only connected by the shear force of being wedged in together.
I'm feeling really pumped for CCC this year, so I have decided to once again compete for Master Builder....only if time permits!
This photo is dedicated to Chris Williams who did a wonderful mosiac of my photos, and for Arshad for writing me my very first testimonial!
Thanks so much to you both, im so lucky to have such wonderful friends!
A Japanese chef preparing a platter in front of us. The no nonsense attention to detail is evident. He threw away whole batches of raw material if they are not up to scratch. Doesn't smile much but I admire his dedication.
this one is dedicated to my young old friend Antje, who has birthday today. I hope you like it :=)))

Sometimes, especially in this tumultuous 20's decade, I've felt like we're living the lyrics of this great old song.
When I log in here and see the world through your eyes: humorous, creative, thoughtful, interesting...I'm back on solid ground again. Thanks (to everyone) for being you.

Sunday was Isabella's Dedication; where Allen and I (and our family) dedicated her to our Lord and to raise her properly for God. She's 9 month now. Wow..time flies!
After a 6 month search of "the" dress for this day, we found it.
The Mount Royal Hospital underwent a number of changes of mission since it was founded as an Immigrants Aid Society home in 1853. By the time this chapel was dedicated in 1955 (if you enlarge the shot by two clicks you should be able to read these tarnished plaques), the primary mission of the hospital was Acute Geriatric Care. As I said yesterday, this was a place where people came to die.
Somehow that makes this Chapel or Meeting House all the more significant. As a Quaker myself, I am intrigued by the designation, "a Meeting House for Meditation and Worship". Meeting House has been used by Quakers since the 17th century as a place for silent worship and meditation. Traditional Quakers, following George Fox (1624-1691), do not believe in clergy or consecrated buildings or churches. I realise this is different in parts of the USA.
But there's even more intrigue to be found here on these dedication plaques. Ambrose Pratt was a controversial writer in the early part of the 20th century. A journalist who began writing for "The Australian Worker", he became increasingly more conservative as he grew older. This was especially so after the major split in the Labor Party in 1916 (over the issue of conscription). Pratt became a member of "The Group" in 1931, and he wrote the resignation speech of Joseph Lyons from the Labor Party. Lyons from Tasmania went on to become the only Tasmanian Australian Prime Minister (1932-1939) who died in office. His wife Enid Lyons was the first woman elected to the Australian Parliament and the first female member of Federal Cabinet.
After his retirement, Ambrose Pratt became heavily involved in the Melbourne Zoo at Royal Park (and in fact was responsible for setting up the Healesville Research Station which is now the Australian native fauna section of the zoo). And it would seem he was also on the board of the Mount Royal Hospital. Now here's the final piece of the puzzle: I have no evidence that Pratt was a Quaker, but later in life he took a very close interest in Buddhism and particularly the philosophies of India and Tibet. So I imagine the term "Meeting House", was to express this ecumenical interest.

Sir Edward Hallstrom (1886-1970) did the honours of opening the chapel. Like Pratt he was a major participant in the zoos of Sydney and Melbourne, and his links to Mount Royal would seem to be his strong philanthropic interest in medical services. Hallstrom is one of those rare figures with two portraits in the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
This Mandala Monday is dedicated to my brother who is having Triple Bypass Surgery this morning.
Love you!

Orange cars, 19 and 15 just arrived at Michigan City Shops with guests for the dedication of the new South Shore cars, October 23, 1982.
Tracie's newest tat. It's French for "The world through my eyes". Very cool....but ouch....seem like a painful place to get inked no?
Through an interpreter I learned that this shopkeeper has worked at the same family business for 40 years, arriving daily at 4:30am to prepare for the day.
The surge was quite powerful this morning..

Since you're probably only viewing my five most recent photos from Brickfair, here's a link to the entire set.
Most of the light had already gone at this point so Nick decided that the only way he'd get the composition he was after would be to wade into the onrushing tide......that's dedication.
These lovely roses were given to my beautiful sister Anne as a "Get Well" gift. She has just been in hospital and had surgery, but thankfully it was caught in time and no cancer. So we feel blessed and very relieved. Sorry I haven't been on Flickr, it's been a very busy time and still is. So I will hopefully catch up with your photos over the weekend:))
A White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) returns to its nest at dusk with more nesting material. These birds spend a meticulous amount of time constructing and repairing their nests through the season.
