Expect Nothing
by Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
I expected Elfs to take their bath here in this beautifull forrest, unfortunatly i could not discover any Elfs and instead i got some wet feet .
I kept expecting to damage the stone; the colour is lovely but it didn't look structurally sound... but it's set. that was the challenge, setting a rather small, internally fractured, inherently brittle cabochon. As long as no-one hits it with something hard and a degree of force it should be fine.
What to expect? We had no idea when we booked our trip to Myanmar. But, what we were met by was a country full of warmth, incredible people, easy transit, and endless beauty.
These photos highlight my visit to Myanmar with my brother and aspire to capture and share some of that beauty with you.

Sunday was a beautiful day and not what we expect around these parts in winter. The paths along the canal and river were non stop with walkers-and dogs! I had a bit of a mixed day, flitting between the hills and the valley bottom. I saw nothing much on the moors but I sat sunbathing on a broken down wall, not really bothered as it was so peaceful, calm and warm. A barge making its way towards Marsden on the canal is something of a rarity these days and it was going to find a shortage of water a couple of locks further on as one section was very low. I managed to catch a grey squirrel drinking at the waters edge with a nice reflection in the calm water. A Treecreeper and a Coal Tit were flitting around the same dead tree stumps. I also took my first photos of the Dippers for the first time for several months, they seem to be on a stretch of river set back from the busy paths.
Having never been to the "Wild" West Hollywood Halloween Parade before I was unsure of exactly what to expect. I knew about the outrageous Halloween Costumes, and the wild parties from the news media though. I also knew there would be lots of cross dressers.
A meetup group was supposed to meet at a nearby parking structure but it got cancelled at the last minute and naturally I chose to go it alone rather than turn back. What's that we used to say - "Though I be the Lone Survivor..." hmmm, amazing how that Creed still comes in handy 30 some years later...
Parking was challenging but I found a reasonably priced lot about a mile away and grabbed my gear and walked down to the parade route.
I staked myself out under a streetlamp in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd, and tried to get as many of the unique and good costumes as I could. One of the inside jokes is to let the newbies keep asking "What time does the parade start?" All night long. Eventually they figure it out.
These pictures were shot with a brand new Canon 7D with a ringflash. Unfortunately the ringflash blocks the focusing light from the flash unit so there were some challenges focusing in the poor light. With every breakthrough comes new obstacles. Such is life.
The Canon 7D preformed reasonably well under the circumstances. It sure as heck ain't no 1D or 5D, but it is an 18 Megapixel, APS-C 1.6x Crop sensor size, and very practical. It has a bunch of features that the 5Dii doesn't have, although the 5Dii has a much higher quality sensor, which is also slightly larger (21 Megapixel), as well as being full frame. The 7D is also noisier than the 1D or 5d at anything higher than ISO 400, but was useable under the circumstances. It also does video, but I didn't try to use it that night. I've obviously been spoiled by my 1D.
I ran out of biz cards the first hour. If your picture is in here, just use flickr mail to send me your email address, me and I'll send you the file at No Charge.
I'll be back next year - this is a fun parade.
As expectativas foram alcançadas. No primeiro dia da Semana Cult, a palestra de abertura do Deputado Federal Márcio França lotou o ginásio da Unibr. A Orquestra do 2º Batalhão e o Coral formado por professores da Faculdade também foram muito aplaudidos.
Com o tema Ética e Responsabilidade Social, o Delegado Federal Protógenes Queiroz, que comandou a Operação Satiagraha, também foi muito prestigiado pelos universitários e comunidade vicentina.
No pátio e nas classes, com mais palestras, oficinas, mini-cursos, exposições, teatro, festivais gastronômicos também chamaram a atenção do público.
A Semana Cult será encerrada hoje e o objetivo já foi conquistado: criação de um espaço interativo de produção acadêmica, que leva cultura e entretenimento aos alunos e a população da região.
Hoje ainda acontecem as palestras com o Secretário de Meio Ambiente de Santos, Fabio Alexandre Nunes, o Fabião, a vereadora Telma de Souza. A banda Carlos Bronson fará o encerramento.

A friend and I visited the Thalankuppam Pier at Ennore, Chennai. This pier area is famous due to its location being used for many movie scenes. These set of photos were taken over a span of 4 hours at the Pier and the areas around it. If you want to go there, please keep in mind that you need to walk a lot to the pier and its not a clean place.
Emmanuel Johnson, from Brooklyn, NY expected the Republican presidential candidates to ignore the topic of racial tension in the U.S. However, he is surprised that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton hasn't addressed the situation more.
"Well, I am not surprised that the candidates are not touching on Black Lives Matter, because they have never touched on something like that before. You know in following the primaries, and particularly the Republican primaries, made it very clear of what they think of minorities including blacks. I am actually surprised that it hasn't come up more often on the Democratic side. I think Trump doing so well is a reflection of the broader sense of white America to people of color, and he's just voicing it. If you asked me six months ago about Trump, I would have said he's a cartoon character. But you ask me that today, and he's clearly a serious candidate so it shows how far we haven't gotten in terms of race relations here. Hilary is an interesting one, to me she comes off as a wolf in sheep's clothing. While you would like her as a woman, which makes her a minority, to speak out more against injustices like Black Lives Matter, she doesn't go that way too often. I would have liked her to say more and stand up more, but she hasnt. Her voting history on different things has shown that she hasn't had much care when it comes to people of color. I am pleasantly surprised on how Bernie Sanders is at least has made some attempts to tackle some of these issues. Agree or disagree with his policies, he is at least stepping to the forefront to have a say," says Johnson - Photo by Ugonma Ubani-Ebere
Some tourist guides claim that “no trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to one of the city’s most famous landmarks, Dublin Castle”. However, many visitors are more than a little disappointed when they visit Dublin Castle because it does not meet their expectations as to what a castle should look like. Be warned, if you are expecting the sort of castle that you see in fairy tale books or Disney films you are going to be disappointed. To appreciate a visit you need some understanding of the history of the castle.

Today I was so excited to finally get the chance to visit the Hill Gardens. and i just wanted to photograph two of my dresses there. The idea was to create a narrative based around two Victorian sisters playing with their imagination within the secret garden.
These Swedes from Kallby Gard, are attentively listening to their Principal discuss their success in becoming the First International Safe School.
Jesus' crown - Latin Passiflora
Garden plant with a very interesting flowers. Her flower consists of five phanergamous that represent the five wounds of Christ, three-pistil, which represent the three nails, nor stamen around the crown of Jesus. So because of this belief in the nation received numerous names such as Jesus' torment, Jesus flowers, the crown of Christ, the Lord's crown and the like.
