Camp Floyd, Utah
Camp Floyd was established during the Mormon War in 1858 and it was abandoned in 1861. The troops were relocated to the East to fight in the Civil War. The retiring troops destroyed, sold or moved the buildings, only the cemetery was left. The War Department installed an iron fence in 1903. The American Legion with the State Parks
Department and the Utah State Historical Society placed 84 granite markers and a flagpole in the cemetery in 1960.
Some of the markers correspond to soldiers who were not part of the Utah Campaign, not stationed in Camp Floyd and weren't buried here. This is the case of Newton Curd Givens.
Newton Curd Givens was born in Kentucky in 1823. He graduated from the United States Military Academy (Madison, IN). The second lieutenant fought in the Mexican War in the Battle of Buena Vista. He served in different garrisons in Texas and achieved the rank of captain in 1857.
He died in San Antonio in 1859 from tuberculosis.

Star of Hope has given out livestock for Christmas again. Children and families will enjoy their new animal.
Star of Hope's livestock program in Haiti started before Christmas 2008. It is very popular among beneficiaries.
Those who get an animal as a gift get information about the program and all must share the offspring in one year to the other villagers so that more families can take part of the program.

Days before New year day Guruji had given Darshans for Matajis and Prabhus separately and Guruji had given satsangs and talks encouraging us all to sing the divine names with Him.
For New years eve a livestream production had occurred here on site to give the internationally community an overview of activities worldwide, including the inauguration of the Sri Vitalla Dham ashram and the Paranitya temple which through Gurujis grace have manifested.
The new years celebrations began in the temple with euphoric Kirtan getting everyone on their feet. At midnight Guruji began the new year with offering Arati to the deities gracing us all with His presence. The night continued with fireworks and then to the tent with Premavahini, a band from Croatia, offering their heart in song, leading us into the new year with Harinaam.
New years day again was a spectacular morning where Guruji gave us the opportunity to witness abhishekam to His personal deities. He ended the festivities with a beautiful talk on the importance of being grateful. Not just for the year but everyday and wishing everyone not just a happy new year but Happy days and that we understand the importance of being grateful for every day that has been given to us by God.

Given the options for Lake and Napa counties I think this has to be Allium amplectens, but there are no pics of that species show white anthers.
After giving up car ownership in 1999 (but by no means driving) we finally gave in and bought a car in 2011.

Bergen has given a warm welcome to its visitors for more than 900 years. Bryggen has become a symbol of our cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The old Hanseatic wharf is architecturally unique and is perhaps one of the most familiar image in all of Norway.
Ever since the intrepid King Olav Kyrre sailed into the harbour and founded the city in 1070, Bergen has attracted people from all quarters of the world. Some came and went, others decided to make Bergen their home. Bergensers travelled abroad and learned and so Bergen became a melting-pot of cultures and Norway's most international city.
Bergen grew up around its colourful harbour - it was the hub of commerce, seafaring and crafts-manship. We became the north's largest city, Norway's first capital city and the seat of royalty. So important was Bergen by the 13th century that the Hansas - the German medieval guild of merchants - opened one of their four European offices on the wharf called Bryggen.
Some of the Hansas chose to become Bergensers. And so have many others throughout the centuries. But Bryggen stays the same, its contour just as it was in the 11th century, untouched by shifting times. It has become a symbol of our cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Bergen has become a World Heritage City.

the Maltese has been given many names, such as the "Melitae Dog," "Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta," the "Roman Ladies Dog," "The Comforter," the "Spaniel Gentle," the "Bichon," the "Maltese Lion Dog," and the "Maltese Terrier." Today, he is known simply as the Maltese.
This elegant toy dog breed is famed for the silky white hair covering his body. Straight and thick, the coat falls all the way to the floor. Many years ago, Maltese came in many colors, but these days they are always white. When a properly built Maltese moves, he seems to float beneath his cloud of white hair. Because he doesn't have an undercoat, the Maltese sheds little, and many people consider the breed to be hypoallergenic.
But the Maltese is more than his coat. Completing the picture is a slightly rounded skull, black nose, drop ears, dark, alert eyes, short, straight legs, and a graceful tail. He's a sweet, intelligent dog who is devoted to his people. And as one of the smallest of the toy breeds, he's well suited to apartment or condo living. Wherever he lives, the Maltese is responsive to his environment and makes an effective watchdog.

Given the demise of Pizza Hut in Australia it's interesting to see them alongside McDonalds and KFC in Old Lijiang.
Given that I was wearing (and breaking in!) a new pair of canvas shoes, it was a great relief to come upon this illustrious sight!
We were given roses to use in a tactile exercise in church. Most used the petals to make wonderful art...I couldn't bear to take mine apart. It was just so pretty. So I took it home and took a picture as my "art".
The font, at the south-west corner of the nave, is made from a block of purple Tennessee marble given to Lord Ripon by an American friend. It is inset with four gilt-bronze reliefs representing the Ages of Man.
The church is a Grade I Listed Building.
The Church of St Mary, Studley Royal, is a Victorian Gothic Revival church built in the Early English style by William Burges. It is located in the grounds of Studley Royal Park at Fountains Abbey, in North Yorkshire, England. Burges was commissioned by the First Marquess of Ripon to build the church as a memorial church to Frederick Grantham Vyner, his brother in law. It is one of two such churches, the other being the Church of Christ the Consoler at Skelton-on-Ure.
Frederick Vyner had been murdered by Greek bandits in 1870. A significant ransom had been demanded, and in part collected, before his death. His mother, Lady Mary Vyner, and his sister, Lady Ripon, used the unspent ransom to build the two churches in his memory. Burges' appointment as architect was most likely due to the connection between his greatest patron, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, and Vyner, who had been friends at Oxford. St Mary's, was commissioned in 1870 and work began in 1871. The church was consecrated in 1878. As at Skelton, Burges' design demonstrates a move from his favoured Early-French, to an English style. Pevsner writes of "a Victorian shrine, a dream of Early English glory." The interior is spectacular, exceeding Skelton in richness and majesty. The stained glass is of particularly high quality. St Mary's is Burges' "ecclesiastical masterpiece."
In 1970, the church was declared redundant, and three years later it was taken into the guardianship of the Department of the Environment (whose responsibilities were later taken over by English Heritage).
Today
The church and belongs to English Heritage and is managed by the National Trust. A local management agreement of 2008 lays down that English Heritage is responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the church, and the National Trust for visitor access.

This was given to me recently by my parents. They got it at a craft sale at their church. He is about 9 inches tall. This reminds me of one my dad made in the 1960s except he used small blue glass ornaments for the eyes and a red Styrofoam ball for the nose.
Given that I won't have much room to garden wherever I end up, I wanted the lower branches of these trees to be much lower. So, reluctantly, I had to give them a butch haircut.

Given the violent destruction of Pompeii it seem amazing that so much fragile glass survived. Three particularly stand out. The tall, light blue jug and the dark blue jug with the white glass 'cameo' decoration on the handle (extremely rare) were for serving wine or olive oil and were both made by glass blowing. The white and blue marbled 'pillar moulded bowl', for drinking fine wine, is a true luxury object, finished by hand.

Given all the glass and the 'abandoned' nature of the greenhouses, it is surprising that few panes appear to be broken.
I've given up hope of being able to take an 'outside night-time pic of incense', so here's the montage for April.
