These treacherous waters faced any hopeful prospector trying to paddle downriver to Dawson City. Four rocky islands jut up through the Yukon river and tore up many of the makeshift boats that tried to cross.
I couldn't decide what was more dramatic--the rapids or the sky--and so I took two pictures!

Day Ninety Five - "Down with the Down"
You know you're an Alaskan when.. you never leave the house without something feather-based.
It's an unspoken a requirement of the 'true Alaskan' wardrobe.
Of course the good ones have that 'lived in' feel/musk/asthetic because they're.. well... literally lived in.

There was a long blackout today.
I used the time to shoot some simple portrait shots. :)

there are five of us, five very different sisters. yet through our bonds of sisterhood, we love each other endlessly. we are pictured here from left my eldest sister Aisha to the end, the youngest sister me (Amina). Kanwal in the middle showed to me the value of sisterhood when she was in hospitals for months with a tumor growing in the left ventricle of her heart. she was 21 at the time, and had been engaged for 5 years. she had waiting patiently for 5 years and 2 months before going off to become one with the love of her life, her heart gave her trouble. through bravery and faith, she got through it, we all got through it together. when it happened again last year, when the tumor came back and was growing bigger, when she was told she needed open heart surgery again, we were all there again, together, us sisters, holding each other through the bad and the good, holding each other strong.
you guys are my pillars in life, without you i'd be a broken building in shambles.

While driving down the street I noticed this car being detailed at Auto image Detailing in Melrose Ma. Dave the owner was pretty cool to allow me to take some pictures of the car.

This blend is produced in limited quantity and left to mature in our polished stainless steel barrels so there is zero light infiltration or ingredient degradation.
This stretch of fortification includes five yagura: Gennoshin, Yonken, Juyonken, Shichiken, and Tago (from left to right).
While Kumamoto Castle dates back to 1467, it was not until the reign of Kato Kiyomasa. Between 1601-1607 Kiyomasa transformed the castle into one of the most well-fortified in Japan boasting 49 turrets, 18 turret gates, and 29 smaller gates. Kumamoto-jo is widely regarded as one of the finest castles in Japan. While the main tower is a reconstruction dating back to 1960, 13 of the smaller buildings are original, surviving the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877.

Plestiodon fasciatus
State Listed as Endangered in Vermont; Threatened in Connecticut
The five-lined skink is a lizard species found in moist, wooded regions in the eastern United States. As their name suggests, the skink has five white or yellow lines running down their dark brown-black body. They can grow up to 8.5 inches and have a bright blue tail. As the skink ages, the stripes and blue colorization start to fade until only a brown tone remains. Males have larger heads than females, and during breeding season their heads turn a bright red and swell up. Females lay up to eighteen oval eggs in a moist, well-hidden area. She then incubates her eggs and defends them from predators. Most females provide excellent parental care during incubation and this leads to an increased chance of survival for the unborn skinks. Within a couple days of hatching, the young skinks leave the care of their parents and fend for themselves. Five-lined skinks can live up to six years and will start reproducing within the first couple years of life. When the species feels threatened, they use a type of anti-predation behavior to distract the intruder. The skinks disconnect their tail which gives them enough time to dart to safety while they predator is distracted by their twitching tail.
This species is threatened due to habitat loss. If a skink is spotted in the woods, be sure to keep your distance from the lizard to reduce stress to the animal. State officials can work to provide protection for the habitat that the species is found in, and citizens can also help by not keeping wild skinks pets and not releasing store-bought skinks into the wild. Purchased skinks can carry diseases, and their genetics are often very different from wild skinks. If the store-bought skink and wild skink mated, the gene pool would lose some of its diversity and uniqueness.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

my baby Eddie! He was actually in a calm mood today instead of his usual super hyper mood so i decided to take a photo of him
he's so much fun and i love his eyes in this!!! Also the sun was hitting him perfectly through the window and he obviously felt the need to pose for me
Interesting to hike in these shoes. Other than occasionally stubbing my toe, these shoes basically saved my life. They grip the rock so well. Worth the money.

Viva's five kittens, less than 24 hours after their birth -
Until they find good people to live with and name them, we're giving them nicknames - the three on the left are Manny, Moe & Jack (the Pep Boys), the redhead is "Zippy", as she was one of the first to be born, and then the little runt in the back, who is half the size of the others, is "Pee Wee" -
For the most part, they're quiet and sleepy - but I've already seen some vigorous tug-of-wars when trying to find a good spot on Mama's tummy -
