Captured at the Eastern States Exposition, also known as
"The Big E", which is America's Premier Exposition and world's only multi-state fair, representing all six New England States.
The first Eastern States Exposition occurred over 100 years ago in October 1916, and is now held every autumn in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Each year, the fair opens on the second Friday after Labor Day and runs for seventeen days . . Stop in, you won't be disappointed! : )

Here's wishing that you are finding happiness and satisfaction in the work that you do. Happy Labor Day Weekend, everyone!
It has to start somewhere for each of us...This is from a time past, here, where someone found that special land and was willing to do the labor, a labor of Love. This is one of the original tractors used, and flowers are since grown at the Working Farm at Dawset Trails. There is a working Smithy, various farm animals, and even grape vines. It is somehow steadying-puts one's feet firmly on the ground-to experience time here.
Aroura and Bunny, the girls, you know they just wanna have fun.
So this is how our Labor Day is going. How's yours?

I was looking for the last Milky Way of the season in this fantastic location, the Deep Space Antennae in Robledo de Chavela, Madrid, but as the sly was cloudy I had to change plans and took advantage of a beautiful sunset.
Iba buscando la última vía láctea de la temporada en este magnífico fondo con las antenas de espacio profundo de Robledo de Chavela, pero el cielo no estaba por la labor, así que cambio de planes y aproveché para captar este fantástico atardecer.

Of all my wildlife blessings over the years, this encounter has to be in the top three. While walking the beaches of Ft. Pickens Florida back in early April of 2021, I had a pod of 12+ Bottlenose dolphins frolicking some 50 yards off the beach.
Through my travels and my many years in the Navy, I have seen and photographed dolphins too many times to count. This morning, and these two dolphins in particular, were acting very differently than any other I have seen.
They were hovering just below the surface, making wakes that indicated that at least one of them was moving about while submerged. Then they would both rise, take a breath and resume the same action. Being a kid from Indiana, I had no idea what was going on. I thought she might be giving birth, but having only been around dogs, cows, horses, buffalo, alpacas and my bride (twice) while giving birth…I had no idea what dolphin labor, especially with 99% of it taking place under water and out of view, looked like.
This photograph captures the last time they broke the surface together. This is the breath taken to make that last push that grants birth.
The next photograph taken and already shared, was of the baby breaking the surface and taking its first breath.
Looking back now, the odd wake while submerged was her staying somewhat stationary while he swam circles around her…no doubt keeping one eye on his bride, and the other looking out for possible predators while she was at her most vulnerable.
Witnessing special times can be such a gift from God!
My Labor Day hike at Graham Creek yesterday turned especially awesome as I spotted the first White Peacock butterfly I'd seen since 2015! It was only the third one ever, having seen my first back in 2013!
I briefly saw it as I began my hike to the sprawling field of Blazing Star wildflowers near the bog, but it fluttered away and I couldn't reconnect with it...I was thrilled to catch a glimpse, but bummed out at the thought of not getting a shot!
Several hours later, on the trail out, it reappeared and did circles around me for quite awhile, landing to puddle near me several times! I'm proud to add its beauty to my stream again after six years!
Trabajé durante 25 años en la enseñanza; ahora, me dedico a las labores domésticas, labores que, sin duda, suponen un trabajo, aunque algun@s no lo consideren así; de hecho, es bastante molesto que te digan : "Ah, ¿entonces...tú no trabajas? "
Quitar el polvo, cocinar, ordenar, recoger, fregar, planchar... son trabajos que, desgraciadamente, ni se valoran, ni son remunerados, ni tienen horario, ni, tampoco, descanso...
Hoy es domingo... ¿A que habéis realizado, al menos, una de las labores citadas?
(Llevaré la fotografía al grupo en el transcurso de la próxima semana, tal y como corresponde, pero quería, entre otras cosas, dejar patente la realidad del ama de casa... también, en domingo... )
America celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of the month of September.
Labor Day is an annual observance that recognizes the contributions of American workers to the nation’s economic development, prosperity, and social well-being. The holiday emerged from the labor movement of the late nineteenth century, a period characterized by extended working hours, hazardous working conditions, and increasing unionization. Its origins are commonly associated with the labor parade held in New York City on September 5, 1882, which brought together approximately 10,000 workers. Labor leaders, including Peter J. McGuire and Matthew Maguire, played significant roles in advocating for the establishment and expansion of the holiday. The observance subsequently gained recognition in numerous states. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland established Labor Day as a federal holiday, formally recognizing the contributions of American workers.

For the working class of America this day means a three day weekend and an opportunity to have a BBQ and a family gathering, but it's been a generation since inception and I'd like to make a reminder here. We scoff at what China is doing right now, but they are going through the exact same things America did in the not so distant past. Slavery, indentured servitude, child labor, and then union strife. Like reading a book you can see them turning the page on greed as these things for them like us will be overcome and the people will be respected and compensated fairly hopefully sooner than latter. I believe that America can help by removing them from most favored nation status and force them to this centuries standards on how we treat people and pollution. That said, I thank goodness for those MILLIONS who fought, who died, who persevered to free our slaves, who outlawed child labor, who organized our workers so that they may be compensated according to their labor and hold accountable those in power to protect those who are not. Power to the people, and God bless America.
