Here is our lovely old boy, Stitch, aka the Stupid One. He has featured in every 365 since 2012 and has a Flickr album to himself! He is getting on in years and has not been himself recently. We're hoping it is a blip but it maybe that his dog years are finally catching him. He grew up with the kids and puts up with a lot, including me often taking pictures of him! He will be sorely missed when he does go off to play ball in the sky but he has had a good life. Fingers crossed for some more time with him.
51/123 - Illustrate a favourite quote. I use this one quite often at work.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #47 "Illustrate a book title" these are serrano and Thai chiles, both red and green to go on the cover of "The Devil's Dinner, a gastronomic and cultural history of chili peppers" by Stuart Walton. I should note that his use of "chili peppers is incorrect, anything referring to the plant or the pod itself should be spelled chile. The term chili should be only used to refer to a stew making use of chiles. This was borne out by extensive research on the internet, where, as we all know, everything is correct.
One of a series (See album) of physical, plant fruit, used to display the nine fruits of the Spirit, as described in Galatians 5:22-23. Faith (also may be translated as faithfulness) is one of these fruits of the Spirit. I picked fruit that had a name that started with the same sound or letters as the Fruit of the Spirit illustrated. I confess that I had never heard of feijoa until I did this poster.
Thanks for looking! Be faithful.

Es hat (erwartungsgemäss) nicht lange gedauert, bis Pedro des Sekretärs "neue" Kamera für sich entdeckte. Nun hat er sich noch einen Bildband und Reiseführer der Bretagne geangelt und schmiedet in seinem (und des Sekretärs) Lieblingssessel Reisepläne...

As expected, it didn't take long for Pedro to discover Secretary's "new" camera. Now he has also picked up an illustrated book and travel guide to Brittany and is making travel plans in his (and Secretary's) favorite armchair...
"I rejoice that there are owls. Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and underdeveloped nature which men have not recognized. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all [men] have."
~ Henry David Thoreau
I asked if I could take a photo while he read and he readily agreed. I didn't stare at the specific tattoos until I put it into my computer. Wow! Each body section tells a different story. Look at large view. On weekdays he blends with all the other commuters from San Francisco to a Palo Alto tech job.
These are the days by the sparkling river...

Common Grackle has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Near Threatened www.iucnredlist.org/species/22724320/131484290
This Common Grackle was one of several that were feeding on what seemed to me an unusual food source: the small seeds at the base of the scales of coniferous cones. This illustrates the resourcefulness of this species. The setting was Elliston Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
This guy could hardly keep still from laughing! At last he did for about three seconds! Just time to take this shot!
The Arch of Titus (Italian: Arco di Tito; Latin: Arcus Titi) is a 1st-century CE honorific arch,[1] located on the Via Sacra, Rome, just to the south-east of the Roman Forum. It was constructed in c. 81 CE by Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus to commemorate Titus's official deification or consecratio and the victory of Titus together with their father, Vespasian, over the Jewish rebellion in Judaea.[2]
The arch contains panels depicting the triumphal procession celebrated in 71 CE after the Roman victory culminating in the fall of Jerusalem,[2] and provides one of the few contemporary depictions of artifacts from Herod's Temple.[3] Although the panels are not explicitly stated as illustrating this event, they closely parallel the narrative of the Roman procession described a decade prior in Josephus' The Jewish War.[4][5]
It became a symbol of the Jewish diaspora, and the menorah depicted on the arch served as the model for the menorah used as the emblem of the State of Israel.[6]
The arch has provided the general model for many triumphal arches erected since the 16th century. It is the inspiration for the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.[7] It holds an important place in art history, being the focus of Franz Wickhoff's appreciation of Roman art in contrast to the then-prevailing view.[8]

New research from the University of Washington indicates that the setting of children for sweets have a biological explanation. Apparently, the desire for sugar is related to the accelerated growth rate of this phase of life.
"The relationship between sweet and growth makes sense. When growth is fast, the body's caloric demand increases. Children are biologically compelled to like sweets because they fill a nutritional need, which causes them to seek energy sources, " explains one of Study author, Danielle Reed.
Explained: This is the delicious law of attraction!
