Yet another dictionary entry, I enjoy doing them so you will be seeing a few more of them in the future.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
I had no idea that this was a Newfoundland word until one day I went to look it up in the dictionary. (I know...why would someone do this but I tend to be a word nerd.) Well, my definition of the word 'squish' was not found in Webster or any other until I checked out my Newfoundland Dictionary. (Yes, there is one, I have it, and it is huge!) So here it is as I know it, "asquish (also squish, squish-ways): aslant; diagonally; awry; askew; out of alignment; in desperate straits."

This is my dictionary from 1976 when I started to learn english. Added a register from self adhesive paper for faster usage.
Still using it from time to time, because online dictionaries rarely have enough context to to find the right one from ten possible translations.
Longing can stir the emptiness.
As the wind stirs dead leaves from the ground,
giving them a glimpse of a rebirth as they swirl around.
Making you wonder and believe in the simple beauty of nothingness.

ArtPrize has returned to Grand Rapids this year...18 days of art all over Grand Rapids. This is a good friend's entry. She is not only a photographer, but also a very talented artist. These dresses are all made from old dictionaries. She has 15 of them on display.

Not the complete Johnson's Dictionary but a selection from the First Edition which appeared in 1755 in two very large volumes, each the size of a lectern Bible. Johnson acknowledged the source of the words that he included in his dictionary, having selected them from earlier dictionaries. Johnson's dictionary was set apart from previous ones because he added his own interpretations and meanings to the words that he used.
The Xmas book tree at the local library. It’s topped off with a couple foreign language dictionaries. Anybody happen to know the German word for birth control?
This tiny alley, without parking or even stopping allowed, was renamed in Bierce's honor in 1988 at the behest of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and concurrence of the SF Board of Supervisors. Ferlinghetti, noted poet, painter, publisher, and proprietor of City Lights Books in SF, also proposed the renaming of other alleys and cul-de-sacs to honor writers and artists (including Jack London, Jack Kerouac, Mark Twain, Dashiell Hammett, et al) who had lived and worked in San Francisco.
Bierce's most famous short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" was first published by William Randolph Hearst's SF Examiner newspaper in 1891. I don't think I own a copy of Bierce's "The Devil's Dictionary," but I have an upstairs copy and downstairs copy of "Write It Right," an annotated version of his "Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults" - annotation by Jan Freeman.
[ Personal aside, relative to City Lights Books, mentioned above: Fresh from almost graduating college, I arrived at City Lights in 1967 with an armload of mounted b&w photographs and was granted my first SF photo exhibit there by store manager Shig Murao, who 10 years earlier had been arrested for selling a copy of Allen Ginsberg's controversial "Howl" to an undercover SF police officer. History! ]

It's worn down, it's old, it outdated. But it was my granddad's.
An old Dutch pocket dictionary, published by Spectrum in 1955!
Taken with another keepsake: my late dad's old Meyer-Optik Orestor 135mm f/2.8, with the help of some extension tubes.

Held together with duct tape, these books resovled many disputes (except for one of the more competitive sibs who would just tear the page out if it didn't agree).
Lately my life has been pretty stressful. I honestly put down my camera and didn't even think about taking pictures. I also completely stopped my 365 (oh well).
Everything has been starting to calm down and now I'm able to take some time for myself. I've decided to pick my camera back up and have a fresh start! But I can't find my tripod and need a shower, so here is a picture of my studious golden retriever ( who is currently freaking out because there is a baby deer in my neighbors yard).
I'm going to take this week by week starting today!

Several facts about "Southern Sea Lions" (Otaria flavescens):
1. Males have a large head and prominent mane;
2. They mainly feed on fish and haul out on sand, gravel, rocky, or pebble beaches;
3. Locally, it is known by several names, including león marino (sea lion) and lobo marino (sea wolf);
4. Males measure up to 3 m (9.8 ft) in length with a weight of 350 kg (770 lb) while females reach a length 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and reach 150 kg (330 lb) in weight.

A good deal for $20 - a far cry from the $975 for the 20 volume set.
The conventional English translation appeared in John Heywood's collection of Proverbs in 1546. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable also credits Erasmus, and relates it to other Latin proverbs, Planta quae saepius transfertus non coalescit, or Saepius plantata arbor fructum profert exiguum, which mean that a frequently replanted plant or tree (respectively) yields little fruit. It appears that the original intent of the proverb saw the growth of moss as desirable, and that the intent was to condemn mobility as unprofitable. The contemporary interpretation has turned the traditional understanding on its head.
Erasmus's proverb gave the name "rolling stone" to people who meet this description.
What would i do without Wickipedia!?
Anycheese, more interestingly, this is Wistmans Wood. A magical and enchanted woodland full of knarly, twisted, stunted Oak trees and mossy granite boulders. I have been here many times, never before with camera. It is soooo difficult to get a composition. The woodland is thought to be one of the few remnants of ancient woodland on Dartmoor dating from prehistoric times. Apparently the wood is haunted by a pack of Yeth hounds and it is from here that they start their wild hunt across the moorland. They follow their master, who may be the Devil, Odin, or any number of spectral huntsmen on the search for souls across the moorlands. The dogs are described as jet-black in colour snorting fire from their nostrils. Coooool! Didnt see any though.. I will go back on a full moon and really take some shots.
