I tagged along with the boys of The Feast of Fools as they entered the Den of Iniquity that is known as IML
While the plague rages outside the castle walls, the nobility have remained unscathed and are able to enjoy a day of feasting. Phillip and Joan have lived comfortable their entire lives, however with a war in the north, Phillip must leave the next day to lead his army to aid in the defense.
I built this in collaboration with Josdu for Brickscalibur’s The Rich and the Poor category. I had a lot of fun building a detailed large scale interior particularly with all the food! The title is inspired by a video game which Josiah drew inspiration from for his build.
This was taken in Arboretum and Botanical Gardens of Overland Park, which is my home town. It was such a beatitful day for macro photography, cloudly and soft light. my mom was with and trying out photography with my second camera. so much fun =)
Cracked mud on the shores of Long Neck Lagoon.
This is by far the lowest I have seen this body of water. We clearly need some rain this winter!
A Lanner Falcon feasting on its prey. It was quite a sight to see as it went about enjoying the fruit of its sky labour.
There are no known predators of adult Falco biarmicus, and the species thrives in any area where it is left alone by humans. However, F. biarmicus eggs are vulnerable to scavengers that feed on them, as well as humans who rob nests for the pet/falconry industry.
Prompt: Create a digital fine art painting in a square aspect ratio, depicting a 17th-century Thanksgiving feast among early Pilgrim settlers gathered around a rustic wooden table in a colonial cabin.
At the center of the table sits a large roasted turkey, surrounded by platters of bread, root vegetables, corn, and stewed dishes, all rendered with rich texture and golden tones. The tablecloth is simple linen, slightly wrinkled and stained from the hearty meal.
The scene shows men and women dressed in authentic Pilgrim attire — black and brown garments with white collars and cuffs, bonnets, and tall hats. Their faces are expressive, reflecting warmth and gratitude as they converse and share food. The composition captures the intimate atmosphere of the first Thanksgiving: firelit, earthy, and full of reverence.
Add a West Highland White Terrier sitting attentively at the table between two figures, its bright white fur contrasting softly against the warm brown tones of the room. The Westie should have an alert but gentle expression, looking toward the feast, adding a touch of charm and innocence to the historic scene.
Include subtle background details such as dried herbs and corn hanging from wooden beams, pumpkins and gourds on the floor, and warm, diffused light illuminating the faces and food. The overall tone should convey a feeling of community, gratitude, and timeless tradition.

Blue ginger (Dichorisandra Thyrsiflora)
Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea)
Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) where the feast in going on :))
I'm not a big fan of European Starlings, at least the ones here in the U.S. They're bully birds that compete with native species for nesting sites. But they're talented mimics, apparently quite smart, and highly adaptable. So I can still appreciate one finding nourishment on a very chilly day.
Polydamas Swallowtail Butterfly (Battus polydamas). Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Coral Gables, Florida.
It's extremely difficult to photograph the swallowtails, because they never stop fluttering their wings and seldom stay for more than a couple of seconds on any given flower.
Please, take the time tho FAVE this photo, that is if you think it deserves a FAVE!
Did you know? . . .(here comes one of my history lessons) Did you know that this time of year in the middle ages could be a time of great famine? People died of hunger with the wheat a month or so away from harvest because all the food just . . .ran out. Or imagine, getting through the whole year (a long time when life expectancy was so short) and have the whole lot beaten down by a rainstorm. Whole villages committed suicide, jumping off a cliff together, in order to avoid the agony of starving to death. (I read this somewhere but don't ask me to quote the reference.) There are parts of the world where famine still happens - we all know this. Our farmers in the UK are having a hard time this year with all the rain - but we ain't gonna starve folks.
This year I saw my first waxwings. Actually it as a series of coincidents that helped me find them.
This first encounter was unforgettable, but photographically it wasn't a big success.
The weather was awful and the birds were very very shy.
It was a fantastic experience though and I got so enthusiastic about these beautiful bird that I decided to try find them again.
And I did. This time the weather was so much better and I had a chance to make some more decent photographs.
Then the Waxwings slowly seemed to disappear from the Netherlands.
Probably they ran out of berries, or they didn't like all the snow and ice.
Or maybe they just returned where they came from...?
I was glad I had had these two chances to see them and assumed it would take a long time to see them again.
I certainly never expected them to show up so soon, so near again..!.
While they had their crab-apple feast, I had my little private party...;)
A wonderful farewell.......and hopefully we'll meet again soon..!

Amber, the Bengal cat, enjoys her lovingly prepared feast of milk & chicken on a china plate. She lives in Bath, UK & is renowned for her beauty.
The numbers of bees of all types was starting to concern me in the early part of the summer, but now there are more flowers out the numbers have dramatically increased.
This morning it was dry so I headed back to Nicomen Slough. Water level was pretty high but there were very few fisherman along the dike for a chance. More did arrive while I was there but why anyone would want to eat half dead rotten Salmon unless you were a Bald Eagle is beyond me. I saw several dozen eagles in the trees and feeding on the sandbars. More than a few dead salmon were being fed upon by crows and gulls. Perhaps the run is winding down.
August 6. The Feast of the Transfiguration. Also the 15th anniversary of my beloved Mom's death. And Hiroshima Day. a lot to contemplate.
Venice 2013
Feast of Our Virgin of Health
The feast of the Virgin of Health is a religious festival in the city of Venice, which takes place November 21 of each year. It is a pilgrimage of thanksgiving towards the Virgin that has as its goal the basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
Throughout the day, in the church, kept open without interruption, are celebrated continuously masses and rosaries, with a continuous influx of the faithful.
The recurrence originates from the large outbreak of bubonic plague that struck the whole of northern Italy between 1630 and 1631.
