There's something in the melodies
That the Christmas season brings
Joy and laughter in the air
Smiling faces everywhere

OK, this week I am really going to try to take pictures of something other than flowers! But until then, here is one more! :D

A Great Place To Find What You Need!
When I first discovered the map, it was April 2014. That was documented in the last photo. Several months later, when November rolled around, I investigated and sure enough, the map was still hanging in there. I was warming up to the idea of eventually joining Flickr at this point, and took this picture to upload in place of the last one, which is admittedly very obstructed what with the lights reflecting everywhere on the directory's plastic slipcover casing. However, I ended up choosing to upload it anyway to document my first time encountering the relic.
Thanks everyone for all the favorites! Excited I made explore :)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

This past autumn my folks were nice enough to let me tag along on a short vacation where they stayed in a rental home that included a private boardwalk and gazebo above the Pamlico Sound on Hatteras Island in North Carolina. The Albemarle-Pamlico Sound is the 2nd largest estuary in the United States at roughly 30,000 square feet of water surface (behind only the Chesapeake) or, as some sources say, the largest "lagoonal" estuarine system in the United States (not sure yet what lagoonal changes--more research needed!). Essentially, the Sound is a mixing area of fresh water from the state's rivers and salt water from the Atlantic Ocean. Shallow by all standards, the average depth of the Pamlico Sound is about twelve feet, with the deepest hole reported at only twenty-six feet in depth. In totality, the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound is quoted as being a "key resource base" for the state and for the southeast, with primary industries such as commercial fishing, tourism/recreation, and resort development relying directly on the quality of the resource. At present, the EPA sites the largest threats to the water body as non-point (agriculture and urban development runoff) and to a lesser extent point source runoff. However, the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound has been rated good to fair based on fairly recent testing. A tremendous resource for photographers as well I would say!
On a photographic note, despite being attacked by very ambitious mosquitoes every evening, I was hoping to capture a later-evening shot of this scene with a boat's light trail speeding by in the channel just to the rear of the gazebo. Never happened, but I still think the idea would have been solid!
Imagine all the people living in peace... You may say that I'm a dreamer, but i"m not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one. ~ From the lyrics of "Imagine" by John Lennon, English rock musician, singer, songwriter, artist and peace activist (1940-1980).
Dedicated to all of the victims and heroes of 9/11/2001.

It poured for 15 minutes on Tuesday during which time we received 1.50 inches (3.8 cm.) of rain. The flowers looked so peaceful and refreshed when the rain stopped.
This Wedding Cake has gone as hand luggage to Montreal and will then go by road to Vermont for the wedding!
The sugarpaste lilies are arranged as a copy of the bouquet the bride will carry.
The cherry blossom and "little fat birds" round the sides were requested by the bride ... they are a copy of her favourite Japanese picture. The colours were purposely kept very pale to match the wedding colour scheme of coffee, chocolate and very pale pink.
Sugar pearl trim to match the pearls on her dress. Board trimmed in pale pink and coffee.
Rich fruit cake covered with marzipan and fondant icing.
I am presuming it crossed the Atlantic safely ... no news is good news!!
