My Grandson Coren waiting for his first ever plane ride. He was gobsmacked. Thanks for everything. Always a pleasure!
1. It is hard to take a selfie in focus
2. It is hard to toss leaves and not look goofy at the same time
3. who cares when you are having fun!
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
......... and it's a hard rain ... is gonna fall.
Trying to stay out of the Cycle lane took a bit of effort. With the passage barely wide enough to handle the pedestrians, the cyclists had to frequently stop and dodge people not paying attention.
"This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats mountain down."

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best" ~Marilyn Monroe~

This one is "Hard at Work". Capturing the deconstruction and construction of the rosebud pier. The pier that you can see in this image is only about half the length of the pier. the rest is siting by itself out in the ocean. I was lucky enough for the excavator driver to stop out in the water, hop out of the excavator and have a chat to the guys on the pier. gave me just enough time to get this image with the machine being nice and still. gives it a bit of difference than what you would usually get. tell me what you think. I quiet like it.

“Let him keep careful watch over his thoughts. Let him observe their intensity, their periods of decline and follow them as they rise and fall. Let him note well the complexity of his thoughts, their periodicity, the demons which cause them, with the order of their succession and the nature of their associations.”
-Evagrius, The Praktikos, chap. 50, in The Praktikos and Chapters on Prayer, trans. J. Bamberger (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1981), 29-30
He says, whenever you are plagued by distractions, “try to look over their shoulders, as it were, searching for something else—and that something is God, enclosed in the cloud of unknowing.”

It's hard enough dying at age 40 after a long and painful illness, but imagine how that would have been in 1877.
The three Gilbert boys were aged 21, 12, and 19.
From Frederick's stone:
"Here locked in peace, our darling rest beneath
An early Victim to the rage of Death
A Fathers hope a Mothers tender care
Blighted by one rude blast is buried here."
I will moan once again about the loss of resolution when uploading to Flickr. A lot of detail has been lost from these stones.
