Happy seventeenth Macro Mondays!
A big thanks to the moderators that make this group so special. And to all of the members for their wonderful photographs. And a special thanks to the members for following the rules and making the moderators’ job that much easier.
I came from a small family.. I think that makes family even more precious. Unfortunately we can't hold on to them in this world forever. Within two years, my parents and my brother, who was down syndrome passed away. My daughter and I are left with many beautiful memories.. and thanks to the invention of photography, we can keep looking at those memories over and over.. We can literally hold on to some of those memories. I wonder if the person who invented the camera ever knew how much joy his invention would bring to the world? My daughter and my father, aka "poppa", had a very special relationship. Please indulge me as I go back down memory lane for a few posts. This was taken about 25 yrs ago.. way back down memory lane.
A few weeks ago I was finally able to get away from all the hustle and bustle of living downtown Chicago on a college campus, and find some solitude in nature. It was super refreshing. Despite the extreme winds off the tip of door county peninsula, and the coldest temperatures of the season; just being out in God's creation was a needed respite.
Ice is one of my favorite things to photograph. It is always changing, it is extreme, and it often makes fascinating shapes. Unfortunately, we have literally had almost no ice build up in Illinois this year. Many of my friends are thankful for the mild winter, but it leads to lackluster photographic opportunities. So, being able to get away and enjoy some monumental ice formations such as these was an oasis in a photographically dry desert of a winter.
...except for the free food the queen provided the poorest quarters in the city, she would also once a year gifts of gold and food to the one that was singled out as the poorest citizen within the town and its outskirts...
This recipient would be new every year since they got so much gold that they could support themselves for years...
For singling out of this person the queen had assembled a small board consisting of Her, Prince Albert, the town mage and also every city guilds chairman as well as some official minority groups leaders such as from the middle-esterling refugee population living in the capital...
Every year would start the same, the Wizard would say that he was the poorest citizen, anyhow as he argued, compared to the cost of running experiments that his budget would go on a big negative value every year, after this queen would grant him some gold to keep quiet for the rest of the meeting...
...then Prince Albert would complain about that his consumption of alcohol made him have large tabs on every pub and then stated that if he would pay every tavern what he owed them he would be on a minus so huge that even the states entire annual budget couldn´t stuff his holes in the budget, then the queen would given him a gold coin and he would excuse himself and vanish with the speed of drunk-light!!!
Then the meeting could start for real... this year an old miner living in an abandoned mine close to town was the one the board agreed on was the poorest person and should be granted the award, but the members of the board warned the queen, that he was a nutter, so she would better bring a whole army to keep safe...
The queen settled for three soldiers and Puffy iff her favorite dog...
...later that day a horse-drawn chart loaded with food and gold arrived to the abandoned mine...
the queen jumped off her horse, there was no one to be seen, when she peeked inside the main building, there was just a big abyss of a hole, she called down the hole:
- Is there anyone home, it is you majesty Queen Esmeralda, with a surprise...
then it just echoed for ever and ever, then she heard a faint voice:
- I will just be a jiffy, I am here digging, will be up quite soon...
...after a while a dirty old bearded man climbed the walls of the abyss like a mountain goat... very agile despite his ancient age...
- Hello Madam, I am...
oh what is my name now again?
yes nap, nappy, Napoleon, yes that is my name, Napoleon and some number I can´t remember!
Who are you my fair lady?
- Hi, Napoleon I am Esmeralda also with a number, Actually Esmeralda the first...
- Yes, first, one, one that is my number and one more number that is higher than the first, yes one plus three, I am four, no wait I am 1 and three that is 13, oh wait I am, oh I forgot what my first name was...
- Napoleon, the queen replied!
- Yes that is the guy, Napoleon number 13, who are you?
- I am ruling queen of t his queendom, eh I mean kingdom!
Step outside I have a small surprise for you!
- No you can´t be ruling this kingdom, because I am King, from here to the land of the forestmen, the barbarian, the middle-asterling emirates, I own it all...
- Oh (*giggle*)! You Majesty would you please step outside and look at the surprise I have brought you...
- ok, ok, ah it is daylight my poor eyes... oh I see now, your brought your King and Emperor three men and two horse to help me dig, I am very pleased my loyal subject... You will be rewarded later, or now, I will award the title: Earl of the eastern wall of my hole between 30 feet and 45 feet...
- Eh Well, your Majesty actually my gift isn´t my henchmen or beast of burden but what we have brought you on the chart over there, one chest of gold, a box of food, a chicken and a sack of cereal seeds...
- My subject, are you trying to make mockery out of me? I have gold, I am the richest man in the world, down my hole I have lumps of gold so huge that a dragon couldn´t lift a grain of them... you really disappoint me citizen, I hope the crate with food is fresh earthworms? since that is the only thing I eat, all other food just gives me constipation or was it the other way around, anyhow I eat only fresh squiggly earthworms...
- Eh, Well you majesty, no I have failed you, I have brought you nothing of value and as a self-punishment for the shame I have brought up on my self, will leave you to your work and retreat to my "prison-like" palace and no longer bother you your majesty...
I am so sorry!
- Well Subject citizen, I Napoleon the 14th forgive you, no need for you to punish your self, but, now leave me alone and get your stuff out of my property... Now I have more important things to do than to squabble and gossip with puny subject...
- Yes your majesty...!
the queen slowly backed away while bowing and kneeling respectfully, she picked up Spotty iff and she and her men mounted a rode away to the farm next door and gave the random family the gifts perhaps they were not the poorest but they surely needed the gifts more than Napoleon!

May God make your year a happy one.
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.

A draped youth facing left and playing pipes, double aulos. A basket hangs from his shoulders. Behind him a kline, special bed used by symposiasts, a pillow and a walking-stick. Along the frieze framing the inner tondo, inscription in two lines: ΗΟ ΠΑΙΣ | ΚΑΛΟΣ – “the boy is handsome”.
This kylix is attributed to “The Brygos Painter”, an ancient Greek Attic red-figure vase painter of the Late Archaic period. Together with Onesimos, Douris and Makron, he is among the most important cup painters of his time. He was active in the first third of the 5th century BCE, especially in the 480s and 470s BC.

This empty lot was the site of the old Woolworth's building in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. It was recently demolished to make way for an apartment complex. Across the street on the right is the historic Saenger Theatre.

For Jack Russels, there is never enough play time. She was determined to play all by herself, which was equally amusing. I will say there is not a day that goes by that Maya doesn't make us laugh. She is truly a blessing.
How to make an ordinary pleated school skirt fashionable for lunch on a Sunday. Wear a nice floral top with it, add a flouncy underskirt with the hem showing below the skirt's hem, and add heels and dark hosiery. I bet not many (if any) of the other diners made a point of thinking I was out in my school skirt ;-)
