In 1957, a small group of ex-service pilots pooled their money to purchase a P-51 Mustang, beginning what is now called the Commemorative Air Force (CAF). With the addition of a pair of F8F Bearcats, the CAF became the founders of the Warbird Movement, an effort to preserve and honor our military history with the rallying cry to “Keep ‘Em Flying!” Now, 55 years later, the CAF is the premier Warbird organization, operating 156 vintage aircraft in honor of American Military Aviation. A non-profit educational association, the CAF has approximately 9,000 members operating this fleet of historic aircraft, distributed to 70 units located in 28 states. The Douglas SBD Dauntless is one of only two actively flying examples of a naval dive bomber that was made by Douglas during World War II. SBD stands for Scout Bomber Douglas and was the main dive bomber used by the US Navy from mid-1940 until late 1943. At that time it was largely replaced by the SB2C Helldiver. SBD has also been lovingly known to mean “Slow But Deadly”, and yet although slow and outmoded when it began its combat career, it was a rugged and dependable machine and was accredited to sinking more Japanese ships than any other aircraft during World War II. The SBD was primarily produced at the Douglas plant at Tulsa, Oklahoma and was equipped with a 1,200 hp Wright R1820-60 single piston engine. This particular SBD was produced in 1939 and was primarily used as a Carrier-based Bomber.

I'm suddenly feeling apprehensive about sunset. Nothing new here. Happens every autumn. It's just that I tend to forget these feelings until I'm immersed in them as September begins to fade. Summer sunsets are nothing like this. The transition from day to night is soothing, natural. Like slipping into a comfortable shirt and jeans. In part this is because it feels like an orderly progression. The long twilights give me a sense of control over the process. But it no longer feels that way. There's almost a feeling of malevolence now with the onset of darkness. Nothing comfortable about it. Perhaps because it's no longer gradual. Now it's abrupt, bordering on violent at times. Dramatic skies often erupt as daylight gives way to night. I always watch in fascination that battleground area in the evening sky, low in the west, where light and darkness fight to the death. No matter that darkness always wins; it's just the conflict that matters. As the the last vestige of daylight is blotted out, that feeling of apprehension rises. I sense it while driving or inside my home, but infinitely more so when out in the open. Alone. On foot. No sanctuary anywhere near. Like this place. I come here often. I want to feel the darkness envelope me. There's anxiety but also excitement in this. I remain until the former outweighs the latter.
Since its completion in 1933, the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse has been an important landmark in Alexandria, the county seat of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Designed by Shreveport architect Edward F. Neild, under the supervision of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the building is an excellent example of Depression-era Art Deco architecture. It was not only designed to serve a federal function but to express the permanence and presence of the federal government in the cities and communities in which the buildings were being constructed. However, the construction of the Alexandria U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in 1932-1933 was not simply a reflection of the growing needs of a city or federal court. As one of more than 1,300 public buildings built under the auspices of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department during the early 1930's, the Alexandria building was an example of the government's use of federal construction projects to stimulate employment during the Depression. From 1926 to 1931, a series of legislation was enacted that culminated into this massive public building program. The Public Buildings Act of 1926 served as the catalyst, authorizing the construction of a number of buildings in communities previously without federal buildings. In 1928, appropriations allotted under the 1926 act were increased in response to U.S. Post Office and Department of the Treasury reports indicating a need for more space. As the effects of the Depression began to be felt all over the country, the government released additional funds in 1930 and 1931 for public building projects. During 1931, the Federal Employment Stabilization Act was passed to further stimulate the economy. This act permitted the president and congress to authorize additional appropriations for construction projects in order to facilitate employment. The 1930 and 1931 appropriations, coupled with the Federal Stabilization Act, were reflective of how the government used public works projects to combat the early years of the economic depression.
On May 18, 2000, the U.S. Post Office & Courthouse in Alexandria, LA was found to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the federal construction programs designed to relieve the economic emergency of the Depression years (criteria A) and as an excellent example Art Deco architecture (criteria C) used in the design of public buildings during the 1930's. All of the information above (and much more) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration with the National Register and can be viewed here:

I figured I had quite a few squad figures (though Waller and Flag were the only ones made just for Suicide Squad purposes) so why not make some sort a' Suicide Squad?
You probably know who's who so enjoy the figs!
This is my favourite picture from this shoot of Asha with the body parts at the cooker. I personally find this picture very witty and hope others do too, and by the way NO Grannies, I repeat No Grannies were harmed in the making of this picture I promise you....

"Una stampella d'oro
per arrivare al cielo
le donne inseguono l'amore.
Qualche volta, amica mia,
ti sembra quasi di volare
ma gli uomini non sono angeli.
Voi piangete al loro posto
per questo vi hanno scelto
e nascondete il volto
perché il dolore splende.
Un mistero che mai
riusciremo a capire
se nella vita ci si perde
non finirà la musica.
Guarda il sole quando scende
ed accende d'oro e porpora il mare
lo splendore è in voi
non svanisce mai
perché sapete che può ritornare il sole
dopo il buio ancora il sole.
E se passa il temporale
siete prime a ritrovare la voce
sempre regine voi
luce e inferno e poi
anche il male non può farvi del male."
tratto da Il regno delle donne di Alda Merini

It was a hard day today; a kind of double whammy for me. It was both the first anniversary of Squeegee's passing, and the day I had to pick Barrymore's remains up from the vet. It hit me hard, and I took a drive up to where my mother's ashes were scattered to spend time near her, too. I found the park in a shambles- messed up terribly by Hurricane Matthew. It seems that storm is never going to be done harming my family in some way. Last week, Barrymore died because of the stress of evacuating before it hit, and this week, the beautiful, pristine place I chose for my mother to rest was devastated by it. Beautiful trees were down, flower beds had no sign of flowers, and even the bamboo was strewn around. Great, heaping piles of debris were waiting for pick up. Everything seemed changed. I sat down on a bench, sadly contemplating the day, and missing my mom, wishing I had kept her ashes with me instead of in a place that didn't stay as beautiful as I'd thought it always would.
I have lost three cats and my mother in the last 8 years. That's too much loss for me. Perhaps now, there won't be any more loss for a while.
The cremation company did a beautiful job of honoring my last two kitties. The box I chose for Barrymore was so large that I could actually place all of them in it. More-More's paw print is on it under glass, and there is a little frame for a photo. I want to try to choose one that has all three of them in it. I still love them all and will always miss them, just like family.
This was Squeegee about 2 1/2 years before he died. When I look in those eyes now, it's like he's still here. How I wish he was. How I wish they ALL were. Some things never change. Love is one of them.
It's been a couple of years since I tried sparkle poi so I was grateful when some friends invited me along.
It was also a good reminder to pay close attention to which direction you spin the red hot steel wool - definitely not near the direction where other photographers are standing. My enthusiastic spinning kind of got the better of me for a moment but fortunately, no harm was done to animals, people, or camera equipment.
"Of equality - As if it harm'd me, giving others the same chances and rights as myself - As if it were not indispensable to my own rights that others possess the same."

Anand is wrapped in a kantha silk scarf made with a hand embroidery.
This artcraft will be manufactured by ladies involved in several workshops that we have settled with GURIA, a Human Rights organisation fighting against the sexual exploitation of women and children, particularly those forced into prostitution and trafficking.
Each scarf is unique and made in sarees provided by several women in Benaras who take this opportunity to get rid of pieces that they brought in order to celebrate happy moments, festivals or parties.
Those accessories carry traces of happiness in their yarns...
Anand, our icon model, shows his body for the purpose of this brotherhood and happiness chain as this is a way to catch the attention on this fight for Human Rights and human dignity.
(Scarf style "Kashi" - 100% silk - Collection RED HALO)
This style is also available for throws and bed covers.
RED HALO is a collection of household linen based in Benaras (Varanasi - India) providing work to people who were living with difficulties and education to children.

I love and respect TV too much to harm or destroy any TV, so I did not throw this brick through this old TV. Some kids must have had fun doing this, as the TV is placed on top of an old stable.
There were dozens of them in the jungle camp and seem to be growing in numbers. The camp is enclosed with a fence and hence there are no foxes / wild dogs or other predators that could harm these Peafowls. Here is one, very gingerly resting on the driveway making for a beautiful scene.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Please stay safe and healthy.
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States--The Coca-Cola Store, located on Las Vegas Blvd at the Showcase Mall, just down the street from the MGM Grand Hotel, has an impressive giant glass coke bottle set into the front of the building; at 100-foot-tall, it sets the world record for being the World's Largest Coca Cola Bottle Sculpture, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY. "Originally built in the 1990s, the giant bottle stood in front of what was then known as Everything Coca Cola. Today it still stands in front of what is now called the Coca-Cola Store, and it’s the spot where countless adults and kids loved taking a fun picture before venturing into the world of everything Coca-Cola to taste, explore, people watch, and shop!

Project 365 // Day 204
Another shot inspired by the amazing show, Dexter. I love creating moody, and dark scenes like this – for me, they create a sense of mystery. What is it? Well if I told you, it would ruin the fun... but let's just say that it was not nearly as fun cleaning up. :)

Anana was our beautiful female polar bear. My heart is beyond completely shattered. The tears won’t stop, I’m shocked and this heartbreak will not ever leave. I love you so much precious, playful Anana. I’m so sorry for what you went through, I’m so sorry your life on earth is no longer. May you be at peace, playing in the water you love so much and feeling only the warmest love. I will miss you forever. 💜💜💜
To our precious Nuka, you are still loved and forever will be in my heart. I pray to see you jumping in the water and playing with your favorite ball again. We, as humans, cannot fully understand the mindset or emotions of another species. I know you as a silly, gentle, playful bear. I do not know you as anything else and I pray you are protected from harm. Too many innocent wild animals have been destroyed because of natural instincts and human error.
I’m beyond devastated. We tend to forget we are looking at wild animals with wild instincts. For that reason, as much as I mourn our loss... I will never hold hate or anger for Nuka. Please find it in your hearts to do the same. All around, this is a horrific time.
Love,
Auntie Jen 💜💜😰🙏

Three dudes who have done murder so graphically we should all be thankful Lego was actually willing to make them.
This was the first time I saw and was lucky enough to photograph a clutch of six Green Herons from Egg to adult. The parents were very careful about the placement of the nest, and the nest was a marvel, measuring and 3x4 feet, a platform built on the branches of a low lying tree over the water and out of harm's way. Further, when the chicks were five weeks old, they were already snatching dragnflies out of mid-air, and the nest made a very good hunting spot since dragonflies liked to hover or fly perhaps three feet off the water. It was amazing to watch the chicks just grab them out of the air, and the dragonflies certainly provided enough protein so that the parents didn't have "that much" to do in terms of feeding.
It was a true spectacle: between a dozen and 25 people would gather around with new fangled digitial camera phones which took lousy pictures of these birds, but in 2010 a lousy camera picture was as good as any 1948 Poloroid shot and everyone seemed happy. They were amazingly well-behaved and kept their distance from the nest. We only had three people fall in the pond with their new gadgets.
I was the point-and-shoot pro with an SX10, the first of the PowerShots and this was one of my first attempts. It was from here through 2013 that I went from dragonflies to birds and the SX20, 30, 45 and now 50. Lighting was always a problem with the lighting "bouncing" off the down and the chicks almost always with their backs to the sun.
It wasn't easy, but everything looked "good" after 50+ years of worrying about the cost of 35mm film and lugging three lenses with me.
All six kids grew up to be adults, then took off in different directions, and didn't return. Green Herons usually set up their own nests elsewhere. In 2013, we saw the last nest, and then the drought took its toll on all wildlife, but mostly birds that needed water for all purposes. Today, we have two "resident" Green Herons, or at least they look like the same ones (they don't wear name tags) from past years. But until the pond was restocked with fish and crayfish, they had a tough time too. 2017 was the first year in four that dragonflies have returned (dragonflies must have water to lay their eggs, and the water dropped several feet.) No heron (or egret) nests have been seen at Heather Farm Ponds and Reserve in a few years. Next year will be a proving grounds to see if dragons and damsels hatch, mate, and go through the process that have kept them going for 350 million years.
Birds search for a place
Safe from harm
They fluff their feathers
To keep them warm
The little birds
Huddle up together
If the temperature
Gets lower
Humans fill bird feeders
During the cold
Wild birds think
It is better than gold
Despite the cold
You can count on a song
Wild birds sing
All year long

Petworth House in Petworth, West Sussex, England, is a late 17th-century mansion, rebuilt in 1688 by Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, and altered in the 1870s by Anthony Salvin. The site was previously occupied by a fortified manor house founded by Henry de Percy, the 13th-century chapel and undercroft of which still survive.
Today's building houses an important collection of paintings and sculptures, including 19 oil paintings by J. M. W. Turner (some owned by the family, some by Tate Britain), who was a regular visitor to Petworth, paintings by Van Dyck, carvings by Grinling Gibbons and Ben Harms, classical and neoclassical sculptures (including ones by John Flaxman and John Edward Carew), and wall and ceiling paintings by Louis Laguerre. There is also a terrestrial globe by Emery Molyneux, believed to be the only one in the world in its original 1592 state.
It stands in a 283-hectare (700-acre) landscaped park, known as Petworth Park, which was designed by 'Capability' Brown. The park is one of the more famous in England, largely on account of a number of pictures of it which were painted by Turner. It is inhabited by the largest herd of fallow deer in England. There is also a 12-hectare (30-acre) woodland garden, known as the Pleasure Ground.
The Deer in Petworth Park, J. M. W. Turner, 1827
For the past 250 years the house and the estate have been in the hands of the Wyndham family — currently Lord Egremont. He and his family live in the south wing, allowing much of the remainder to be open to the public. Lady Egremont has restored the gardens.
The house and deer park were handed over to the nation in 1947 and are now managed by the National Trust under the name "Petworth House & Park". The Leconfield Estates continue to own much of Petworth and the surrounding area. As an insight into the lives of past estate workers the Petworth Cottage Museum has been established in High Street, Petworth, furnished as it would have been in about 1910.
