Adoption Requires Dedication to Righteousness
Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:5; Ephesians 1:5
If the Lord adopts us for his sons on the condition that our life be a representation of Christ the bond of our adoption, then unless we dedicate and devote ourselves to righteousness we not only, with the utmost treachery, revolt from our Creator, but also renounce the Savior himself.
Elliot Ritzema, 300 Quotations for Preachers from the Reformation (Pastorum Series; Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2013).
dedicated to the wonderful creations and moments found in the works of our dear friend Virginia, aka imago2007, who shows that beauty can be found in the ordinary items we take for granted every day....and the importance of always keeping your eyes and minds open.

Christchurch Transitional Cardboard Cathedral on a walk around the city to catch up on the rebuild of our city. October 15, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The Cardboard Cathedral opened to the public on 6 August 2013 with a Diocesan Dedication Service on 15 August. It has seating for 700 and the Cathedral also provides a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and civic and community events.
Christchurch made, Cardboard Cathedral tubes
The Cathedral makes use of varied construction materials from cardboard tubes to timber beams, structural steel and concrete. It is the largest 'emergency structure' to be designed by Shigeru Ban who, with the support of associate architect Yoshie Narimatsu, contributed his time free of charge and gifted the building's design to the Cathedral, Diocese and Christchurch.
Many of the building materials are being sourced locally and nationally including the 98 16.5 - 20 metre, 120-kilogram tubes. Each tube is coated in polyurethane and laminated timber has been inserted for strength.
The Cardboard Cathedral's triangular window design includes 49, 1.2 metre tall panels and incorporates images from ChristChurch Cathedral's original rose window.
Each image comes from the same position as on the rose window. The triangular panels in the middle of the new stained-glass window use images from the centre circle of the rose window, while the remaining panels use images from the outside circle.

One of my dearest contacts is Geza Singer. Tom was lucky enough to buy his Oly XZ-1 when he was in London about 2 weeks ago and they met. My loss that I was not there. I admire Geza's work tremendously and he continues to inspire me, encourage me and make me look at things from new perspectives. I have learnt a lot about 'schmocus' from him (cannot do it like he does.......). Okay so here's a summer schmocus with grasses, comfrey and beans.

have a good Thursday everyone. Our new nanny has been beaten up by her brother so I am off to the doctor with her now.
Update on Amanda: she has been to see the doctor who took particulars, measured bruises and will submit a report to the police when Amanda lays a charge. The tenderness and kindness of this medical practitioner is in stark contrast to the brother's violent actions this morning.

Koa
Fabaceae (Legume or Pea family)
Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (All main islands except Niʻihau and Kahoʻolawe)
Hālawa Valley, Oʻahu.
The Hawaiian name Koa means "brave, bold, fearless" and also "warrior, fighter." Koa was the most valuable tree in early Hawaiian culture.
In general, koa wood was also used in constructing houses (hale), spears, tools, paddles (hoe), kahili handles, calabashes (ʻumeke lāʻau), ceremonial poles (hulumanu), religious ceremonies, and short surfboards.
While there were many uses for koa, it was never used for eating receptacles because the resin, which could not be removed, would leave a bad taste to foods.
The prime importance of koa for early Hawaiians Early Hawaiians was making of canoes (waʻa), not only the single kinds with an outrigger, kaukahi, but even double kinds, kaulua, which consisted on two canoes lashed together with a yoke in a special way.
Small narrow, long, light canoes, called kialoa or kioloa, were suitable for a single fisherman or for racing. Other smaller canoes, about 10 to 20 feet long, could accommodate six to eight men. These canoes were scarcely twelve inches at its widest and about two feet deep.
Waʻa peleleu, or simply Peleleu, were long canoes or long voyages were usually 50 feet long, but some were 100 and even 150 feet long had a depth of 6 to 12, and even 15 feet, deep! Such canoes were 1 to 2 feet wide and carved from a single log. Some of these were made from the trunks of gian evergreens that had been carried by ocean currents and winds from the Pacific coasts of America.
The bark was used as dye to stain kapa a red color.
The leaves (phyllodes) were also used in lei making.
Medinally, koa leaves were placed under a pile of lau hala mats if a person had been in a sick bed for a long time. Leaves were placed on top and spread evenly over the mat to make to person comfortable.The heat that came from the body and the leaves would make the person sweat. Someone would wipe the sweat from the person as they fell asleep. This was almost always used for patients with a fever. Young children under a year old who had become weak were given a mixture of koa leaf ash and other plants and applied inside the mouth.
The bark was applied to pūhō (abscess, burst sore, ulcer), ʻalaʻala (scar, sore perhaps tuberculosis adentis), kaokao (syphilis), leprosy (maʻi lēpela), ʻeha māui (sore bruises), and haki (broken bones).
Koa branches were made into booths for ritual purposes, in dedication of heiau.
THE CHOOSING & MAKING OF A HAWAIIAN CANOE:
The process of selecting the correct tree for making a canoe (waʻa) was more than simply walking into a forest and picking out a tree to be used.
Before making a canoe, the Hawaiians employed a Kahuna, or priest, to offer prayers and sacrifices to Kū, the long-bearded god of canoes makers and of war, that the work should be successful. Then, the kahuna aided the men in selecting a suitable tree in the forest. This was a laborious work to fell a tree using a stone adze. The waʻa was then roughly hewn with the same tools.
If the native bird ʻelepaio (Chasiempis spp.), or the native crow, ʻalalā (Corvus tropicus),* settled on the log, this was considered an ill omen, and work on it was abandoned. Another tree was selected to take its place. If all went well, there was the chant to move the felled koa:
One would cry: "I kū mau mau!" (Stand together!). Then from all: "I kū wā!" (Shout!)
One: "I kū mau mau! I kū hulu hulu! I kū lanawao!" (Stand together! Haul with all your might! Under the mighty trees!)
All: "I kū wā!" (Shout!)
One: "I kū lanawao!" (Under the mighty trees!)
All: "I kū wā!" (Shout!)
"I kū wa huki!" (Shout! Pull!)
"I kū wa ko!" (Shout! Push!)
"I kū wa a mau!" (Shout! ...Snagged!)
"A mau ka ēulu!" (Snagged in the tree top!)
"E huki e!" (PULL!) "Kūlia!" (STRIVE!)
Although the waʻa was made from koa, a number of other woods were used to construct and complete the project. Among them were ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros spp.), ʻahakea (Bobea spp.), wiliwili (Erythrina sandwicensis), kamani (Calophyllum inophyllum), ʻulu (Artocarpus altilis), kukui (Aleurites moluccana), and hau (Hibiscus tiliaceus), to name a few, with the last four being Polynesian introduced plants.
_____
* ʻElepaio are only known to have existed on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island; ʻAlalā is only known from Hawaiʻi Island. Both are still found today on these islands. While there is no fossil evidence of ʻelepaio found on other islands, there were two other Corvus species found on the islands of Oʻahu and Molokaʻi at the time of early Polynesian settlers.
Koa are dominant trees in Hawaiian forests and provide suitable habitat for many native species birds. The aptly named Koa-finches, Rhodacanthis palmeri and R. flaviceps, fed almost exclusively on green koa seed pods, sometimes the entire pod in pieces or occasionally only the seeds. Sadly, these brilliantly colored honeycreepers are now extinct.
Etymology
The generic name Acacia is derived from the Greek, akakia, the name for Acacia arabica, ultimately from akis or ake, a Greek word meaning a sharp point and referring to the thorns of this particular plant.
The specific epithet koa is the Hawaiian name for this species of tree.

There's something quite serene about waking up before the sun and taking in the day. No one else is awake, the world is still quiet... It's not the easiest thing to do. It takes a certain level of dedication. Dedication to catch the perfect wave. Dedication to get the perfect shot. Dedication that pays off in the end.

For my lovely and mad friend Hulapooper. I don't think flickr would be the same without her. She's friendly and fun and always disappearing just like the beautiful Butterflies that visit us in the 'Summer' months.
I've never had so many invites to different groups, but that's not what's important. It's her vibrancy, laughter and her comical way of sporadicly turning up when you least expect it that's lovely and amusing. Oh I forgot talent ;) Thank you Denise for making flickr such fun and a joy to be part of.
I just loved the bokeh Peacock Butterfly in this image even though the colours aren't so good.

I took part in a fantastic shoot organised by Milly Colley aka millypix for Lostboys yesterday. It was great fun assisting Milly. She went above and beyond the cal of duty in this one lying in a bed of nettles to get the angle. That's dedication. Please check out her stream by clicking on the link opposite

I felt this was quite symbolic and a photo opportunity that I had to capture (I believe I was the only one who did)
This farmer didn't stop working throughout the whole show & not one time did I see him look up. He had a job for the day and just got on with it.
To me it was the dedication of the farmer combined with the dedication of the enthusiasts that brought this (the only remaining flying Vulcan) back from the dead.
"Dedication"
An idea for two separate tattoos kinda turned into a half sleeve. I did this all in one sitting; It was a lot of time, pain, blood and money. It's definitely well worth it.
Taken at an archery event on the University of Limerick campus recently. This competitor was undeterred by the pouring rain. His concentration never wavered.
Otto didn't know exactly what the fellows were looking for, but it was good to see them being so dedicated to their work. Otto liked a good work ethic!
