Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you -- my heart grew tipsy in me;
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa -- come to papa -- do!
My sweet embraceable you.
Well, in the end, an irreplaceable resource is a smartphone camera! In an hour of walking with a dog, you can take amazingly colorful pictures, and it's just a pity that now you can't use a camera with a tripod and a "serious" lens.

There's nothing else like it. Personally, I like garlic with large cloves, purple coloring and hot as hades. One can de-husk garlic cloves by boiling them but that is unthinkable to me as I enjoy the crispness of hard, dry, fresh garlic so I use a knife to peel them--hence my predilection for large cloves!

Father,
a figure above all others
in my mind,
in my life,
in all I see and do
alongside my mother's -
love in unworded ways
through my lumbering days
your luminous virtuosity
has forever gained my following;
a loyalty for our united cause
from the rides of childhood
through the visor of teenage years
taking steps from your prints
foretold in your stellar recordings
the cycle of a timeless livelihood
upright is the life we try to lead
by example, by rights, by each other
an unbroken chain hangs proudly
in our hearts, worn modestly within
for our every effort to hopefully succeed
enhanced by time is respect in itself
unique is the day without it
your aura, an aqueduct of passing energy
unrivalled in significance of spirit
life to me is having you within myself
every arcane mood I enter into
passes with an abruptness;
a reality check of the 'missing piece'
family springs forth the truth and the comfort
of the irreplaceable portal that only love can imbue.
Happy Birthday father!!!

Vi presento le mie sorelle, in senso orario dopo di me: Sara, Maria e Aline.
Non postavo da un po' e voglio ricominciare con loro, una parte insostituibile della mia vita, la mia gioia.

I introduce you my sisters (in clockwise order after me): Sara, Maria and Aline.
I have been lazy in flickr lately, but my sisters are a good start. They are an irreplaceable part of my life and my joy!

Five Fingers Strand takes its unusual name from the five long black sea-stacks that are located on the north end of this shore. These sand dunes are some of the highest in Europe. Formed around 5000 years ago, they now have their own
protected & unique ecosystem. As seen here, rising sea levels & stormy weather are eroding them faster than ever into the sea. I hope nature manages to stabilise them again very soon, as they are so delicate & irreplaceable.
Each year many folk travel abroad to highly congested tourist traps in search of tropical waters & white sandy beaches. If we only realised what is already here in Ireland along our shores, then we may think twice before spending small fortunes to jet away, when we can easily visit beaches like this right on our own doorsteps ⛱
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
Another great passion: the mountain. Here, I'm photographed by my partner Alberto Iribarren "Musku" on one of our trips to the mountains. R.I.P. My irreplaceable friend!
Standing before these pristine emerald pools in Anisclo Canyon, I was mesmerized by the incredible clarity and color of the water flowing through this limestone paradise. These natural formations, carved over millennia by the Bellos River, create some of the most stunning aquatic landscapes in the Spanish Pyrenees.
I wanted to capture the perfect harmony between the towering limestone cliffs and the delicate calcite pools below, showing how water and stone collaborate to create this natural masterpiece. The contrast between the golden canyon walls bathed in warm light and the cool turquoise waters creates a visual symphony that speaks to the timeless beauty of geological processes.
What struck me most was the pristine quality of this ecosystem - the crystal-clear water revealing every detail of the limestone bottom, the lush forest thriving in this protected environment, and the sense of discovering a hidden jewel within the dramatic landscape of Ordesa National Park.
My intention was to showcase this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve at its most beautiful, celebrating the successful conservation of one of Europe's most remarkable canyon systems and inspiring continued protection of these irreplaceable natural treasures that define the character of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
Finally got my hands on a gigantic Sony 24-70 2.8 to see what the hype is all about. Well, it is an excellent lens and proves that A-Mount line up is still irreplaceable.
This picture was taken on a late morning in my house right by the front porch. The chair and the column created a set of shadows which highlighted the colour tiles.
do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. the world you desire can be won. it exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.

McCoy Tyner
pianist/composer/leader
11 December 1938 – 6 March 2020.
A musician supreme; a giant loss. R.I.P.
**************
▶ McCoy Tyner, Jazz Pianist Who Anchored John Coltrane’s Legendary Quartet [and a brilliant musician in his own right], Dead at 81.
6 March 2020.
**************
▶ "McCoy Tyner was one of our great American originals. His piano sound and style were unlike any other. Virtuosity and virtue, soul and sophistication, tenderness and thunder; all delivered with pinpoint accuracy and concentrated intensity.
A composer, bandleader and performer of unquestionable authority, proficiency and integrity, there isn’t a quality pianist playing the music today who can’t reach for some 'McCoy' in their sound (when they need him).
With his passing, we have lost an entire world of irreplaceable information and experience. But with the passage of time, that universe will certainly enrich and redefine the foundation of our jazz DNA. He is already missed."

From the Wiki: During the Irish War of Independence in 1921, the Irish Republican Army burnt down the Custom House, to disrupt British rule in Ireland by destroying tax records. The original interior was completely destroyed in the fire and the central dome collapsed. A large quantity of irreplaceable historical records were also destroyed in the fire. Despite achieving its objectives, the attack on the Custom House was a setback for the IRA as a large number of Volunteers were captured either during the attack or when falling back.
Legend has it that members of the fire brigade were intentionally slow to fight the fire, which lasted five days, and who may have actually consulted with the IRA on how best to burn the building! The Custom House was restored in 1929.
Nothing seems complicated anymore
sights and sounds of past rapport
heard now in the gentleness of a late February morn
playing upon a throwback reborn
from a seemingly random breeze of necessary purpose
recalling the longing of a connection so ingenious
we are instilled and indisposed, regaled and juxtaposed
charmed by the Sunlight's heavenly senses thus supposed
floating within and beyond any doubt of inspiriting
a loneliness that now gathers this hope it's eliciting
made in a Heaven integrating with each and every footstep
close to touch, shifting focus toward the ultimate prep
given a course in daily enlightenment from sun rise to set
against all darkness cast in a Soul made for no regret
catch the light before it fades into all-swallowing time
consume your fears and exhale belief in it's prime
for the daily climb is a premise of vista's hitherto dreamt of,
the vision is the spark of the fire warming the heart of love
guiding the mind steering the ship of navigable valleys
when acting as one, the whole world answers and rallies
the last goodbye is the very first hello of the new dawn
colouring dreams of old and reinvigorating friends newly drawn
unto the circles of harmony rippling through each and all
our faith begins with the sunrise and the air we each call
this unifying expression of living is the nature of life
nobody can deny, no-one should defy, our bond of this very life.

There was an influential Lego builder who made a memorable scene of a car against a white marble brick building. (Edit: It's W. Navarre. Link ) It made me aware of the kind of avant garde Lego worth of worn bricks. I've got loads of them from my father's childhood. Irreplaceable.
#5148 - 2022 Day 34: A busy day today meant a regular fallback late in the day. After all, as we know, "there is always a lamp" - Salt lamp this time.
The idea of a paper rose in the face of fire reminded me of vulnerability and the need to protect what is fragile and valued and irreplaceable when it is gone.
If you should wonder to what end silence pays it's respects
Look no further than the missing sounds of long lost words
Those that reverberate as they rise for all the world expects
Of them a defining moment that should revere the song of the Blackbirds
That presently return home to the sculptured garden of Autumn
Where Wintry vistas open their eyes once more between every bare-boughed column
It's your call upon Nature's take that ushers in
A splice of life if you will, for there's always more to come
What we receive is but the light within
Crossing the line of darkness, our optimism raises the midday Sun
Over the extended shoreline a shadowy hand -
At low tide a remission of drowning sin upon land
With a view to open the oceanic mind, a piece of
Inhales the past disseverance now rejoined with the present
You link, you like, what you play is there right above,
Never sounding-off, the humble beauty of ambient intent
Be it music, solace, or silent running waters of tributary dreaming
We're both at sea and borough with October light redeeming
All under Her worship nothing need any longer be said
Out of turn nor mind, never is a question to be raised in opposition
Of the roots growing thirsty for recognition of hunger's deepening tread
If out of sight really quells a conscience, then let me rephrase this definition,
For every picture tells a story, then why capture someone's permission
Without consent to help crying eyes appeal to bury the dead ammunition
We live in hope? or fear? of the ungovernable human failing
That burns the pages written so long ago we've forgetten it's spell
Now unread lies the wordless force of Nature's Autumnal unveiling
For Her cold light of today merits at the very least our better understanding as well-
As the realisation that we're not always the centre of Her Universe
Why must we think life begun the day we were born celebrating only our anniverse?
If prayers remain unanswered who must we blame if anybody at all?
Reason has become the treason of freedom and life among the living
For however many we gun down the bloody curse of killing rises with a rich vein to appal
Playing the game becomes every more perverse without parental misgiving
Gone is so much that is irreplaceable
Furnished in the presence of an answer that hatred finds untraceable
Let go of everything and nothing returns home
Late, later...the latest in a long line of obliviousness
Even your forgotten birthday remembers you well left alone
It's the death knell for accursedness
Now grimy candles illuminate, for we can't see everything
But to see something is something at least, if there is such a thing.

This scene is at the Richmond Vale Railway Museum at Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley, west of Newcastle in New South Wales. The museum is on the site of the former Richmond Main Colliery which is also technically retained as a museum and historic site but not accessible to the public except from outside barriers as it is not maintained and falling into disrepair. Sadly the railway museum is also struggling in times when volunteers and cash to operate it are in short supply. Worse still, the museum has been badly impacted by two bushfires, one of which was apparently deliberately lit which destroyed many stored and preserved historic items of rollingstock. A timber bridge on the railway just outside the museum was also destroyed cutting short the opportunity for a reasonable trip on the former railway and making it even less attractive to customers.
This is former BHP (Broken Hill Proprietary Company) diesel locomotive no. 32 which would have worked at the company's former local steelworks or associated mills before they were all closed. It is operable and curiously listed as no. 34 in the attached Wikipedia article. The restored brakevan was used on the steam hauled coal trains of non-air (no brakes!) four wheeled wooden coal hopper wagons that were used throughout the region when the mines in the eastern Hunter were still operating. Despite the loss of valuable and irreplaceable rollingstock in the fires, the museum still has a fine selection of locomotives and wagons associated with the coal mining and steel milling industries of the area.
More to come from this location which we visited during our August holiday.
Here they are in Holmgard. Jarl Ivar offers Gorm gold to go down to Konugardr with a message. They don't know that the gold mask from Mycenae is irreplaceable, so they pound it together into a manageable lump of gold.Made by AI.
At that single moment before she passed , as I held her in my arms ….memories of all she was and assurance she would live on through us . Praise , thanksgiving and walking the final journey with one’s irreplaceable Mom . Forever grateful to this beautiful Mom . She instill faith family and forgiveness… until we meet again

Whatcom Land Trust currently owns 52.5 acres of land at the mouth of California Creek, a major tributary to Drayton Harbor, where it empties into the harbor. Marine estuaries are an irreplaceable natural resource that provide many benefits including wildlife habitat, improved biodiversity, and water quality. This property is crucial to protect due to its location, ecological makeup, and future role as a public park along the shoreline. The California Creek subbasin makes up 40% of the total Drayton Harbor watershed, meaning restoration in the area will benefit water quality in Drayton Harbor and have positive impacts on Whatcom County far beyond its bounds.
Beautiful Loch Voil looking rather demure on Christmas morning.
One of my favourite old films is 'Geordie', starring the irreplaceable Alastair Sim, amongst others.
Much of it was filmed around Balquhidder, as well as Aberfoyle, & paints a very beautiful picture of this part of the Highlands.
Many thanks to everybody that took an interest in my photo.
A happy 2015 to all!
I am dedicating this photo to a dear friend of mine, Helen.
Helen, good friends are like jewels.... beautiful and irreplaceable.....
this jewel is for you :)
*Working Towards a Better World
Having addressed the importance of Motherhood yesterday I feel it imperative to bring to our attention the significance of Fatherhood. A good father is the rock and protector of the family, for the most part he is the bread winner and is able to earn more than a woman. He is responsible for the education and well being of his children and keeping a happy and unified relationship with the mother which creates a united and whole family. The father is very involved with the physical activities of his children often coaching their sports. A father is an important figure in the family and should be recognized as such because being a father is not easy, but when he is a good father he is irreplaceable and a huge benefit to his family.
Happy 12 year anniversary to my best friend, fellow nerd, adventure buddy, coffee-getter, and of course, husband.
This man fills my life with love. He cherishes the quirkiest things about me, listens to me, encourages me, and truly believes in me.
Everyday I learn something new when I'm with him. Something unexpected and fascinating. He challenges me with interesting thoughts and ideas. Everyday is a day of discovery.
He scours the internet for amazing music and shares it with me. I don't think he knows how much I appreciate this--it adds so much depth and emotion to my life to listen to new songs, and he searches and searches to find things I like.
He shares my sense of adventure. Sometimes I think he plans too much, and sometimes I'm too spontaneous. It ends up being a perfect balance of prepared fun.
Somehow he even makes work in the lab fun. Whether it's the latest rubber-band gun, or sympathizing with me over a smelly urine sample, he understands and shares my life with me like no one else.
So, here's to irreplaceable bonds, love, and all the little things that makes them the best things!

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
Victoria Hall is a three-and-a-half-storey, commercial building built in the late 19th century. It is prominently located in a row of commercial buildings opposite Gore Park in the central commercial district of the city of Hamilton. The formal recognition consists of the building and the legal property on which it sat at the time of recognition. The building itself occupies almost all of the property.
Heritage Value
Victoria Hall was designated a national historic site because it is of national historic and architectural significance. It is a superior and rare example of a commercial building with a decorative, architectonic, sheet-metal façade, which is completely hand- rather than machine-made. Its well-designed and well-crafted, three-storey, metal façade comprised of high-relief architectural elements is largely intact. The building is an irreplaceable element in King Street's continuum of commercial architecture dating from the pre-confederation era to the present.
The conventional, late-19th-century commercial building is covered with a hand-made, galvanized-sheet-metal façade on the front of its upper three storeys. Designed by Hamilton architect William Stewart and erected for Alexander Bruce, a prominent Hamilton lawyer, the façade projects an image of prosperity by simulating the appearance of exuberant stone masonry. It is a very rare Canadian example of an in-situ, hand-made, sheet-metal façade and is one of the earliest and most architecturally accomplished of the surviving sheet metal façades in Canada. The façade is essentially intact.
Victoria Hall forms part of a continuous row of commercial buildings overlooking Gore Park, an area that has traditionally functioned as the city's commercial heart and the focal point of public events. Victoria Hall is among the last of the robust High-Victorian commercial buildings in the Gore area.
Character-Defining Elements
The key elements that relate to the heritage value of this site include:
- its hand-crafted, sheet-metal facade, covering the entire front of the building above the ground floor;
- the well-proportioned, three-bay, Italianate composition of the metal facade, with architectural elements fabricated in high relief;
- on the lower two storeys, flat-arched windows with rounded corners separated by elongated columns, all framed by rusticated pilasters;
- on the top floor, semi-circular arched windows with highly decorated voussoirs and large keystones;
- a prominent, bracketed cornice capping the façade;
- its successful simulation in galvanized sheet-metal of elaborately carved stone masonry;
- its prominent and highly visible location on King Street near the corner of John Street;
- its incorporation in a continuous row of commercial buildings along the south side of King Street;
- its direct relationship to the open landscaped space of Gore Park on the opposite side of the street.
My thoughts and sympathies are with all those affected by the recent attacks.
I feel very sorry for those who have lost loved ones, family, friends, neighbours and co workers.
I understand that for many the terrible events will stay with them for many years.
I hope and pray the pain which the people affected by these events will one day go, to be replaced with future happiness.
I hope the One Love Manchester concert will be a great success.
I will waste no words or thoughts for the terrorists.
I will say little about politicians promising extra police to try to get in power. Their words have little value.
But I will say. The British public have once again risen to the challenge.
Countless people helped fellow citizens. Often the people they helped they did not know. People who saved live's, supplied accommodation and food, some helped people who were lost.
Those who attack our country in such manner want to divide us. Make us change our ways.
But by keeping vigilant and working together, with our fellow citizens, friends, neighbours and the security services we will prosper and the madness will end.
Hate can only produce hate. So I will not preach hate.
Life is special, remarkable, irreplaceable and unique.
I can only offer my thoughts and prayers.
I wish everyone a happy week ahead.
May your live's be illuminated with love, joy, happiness and safety.
Kind regards
