The Imperial Challenge Shield: Under the auspices of the National Rifle Association, an annual competition was founded in 1910. A silver challenge shield, a bronze replica as well as silver and bronze commemorative medals, and many money prizes were offered by Lieutenant-colonel Raymond W Ffennell, of South Africa. The Imperial Challenge Shield competition (junior): The object of this competition is to encourage every boy throughout the British Empire to learn how to use a rifle.
HRH The Duke of Connaught KG presented his Trophy in 1911 "for Annual Competition in Rifle Shooting by Troops of Boy Scouts (Baden Powell's)" It is thus one of Scouting's oldest and most distinguished trophies. This was the first year that the school won the HRH The Duke of Connaught's Shield for target shooting among scouts of the Empire. We went onto winning it a further six times ("http://home.clara.net/dohoo/svsrc/connaug.htm")
Today was fabulous. Went on another shopping trip for some more warm clothes... so unlike me!! I never shop. So it's been fun. Tomorrow i'll be going back for a pair of boots they didn't have in my size. :)
Happy Sunday everyone.
Walking down the street with my friend on the way to the Jazz Showcase we heard this beautiful singing...
This woman was just standing on the corner with two of her friends and really belting out some beautiful vocals...
She sounded amazing.
I got to her just as she'd finished singing and the people at an outdoor cafe were giving her an enthusiastic round of applause...
For a moment the street was alive with the sound of music...
This was that moment.

The restored home af Thomas Wolfe, an American writer. The first time I visited it had a nostalgic feeling and smell like my grandmother's house. Soon after, there was a fire and a restoration. Now it does not have the "old" smell.

Frost and ice in Florida? Yes! We have many winter days with temps (F) in the 20s. Hard freezes and frost is not uncommon. One year it was so cold that the giant wild pythons in the Everglades were freezing to death, and it even got to freezing temps in the Keys! The saving grace is that it might be 30F when you wake up, but then later in the day it will warm to 60F! And we have a pretty decent amount of sunshine most of the time.
These are micro shots of ice crystals from the frost on various bits of vegetation in my yard. I have to shoot them early in the morning because even the heat from my breath will start them to melting, and even if the temp is 30F, when the sun hits the yard the frost vanishes in minutes so I have to move fast.
The Nature Spirits have provided me with some delicious abstracts and personal appearances in these micro shots...read the descriptions I’ve written and view the notes I’ve placed on some of the photos, and then view them at their largest sizes available and you’ll be amazed, too!
View more of these intriguing shots I feel like I’ve received as a gift in my set titled “Jack Frost:”

Burmese 500 kip note showing a water buffalo and its handler plowing a paddy field, these animals are still to be seen on every field and farm they were ubiquitous in their presence. They pull carts of produce and people.
As Burma opens up to the world and mechanisation gradually replaces beasts of burden there may come a day when water buffaloes are consigned to exhibits in zoos and children’s parks.
Our local CFUW ( Canadian Federation of University Women ) is a serious organization....with worthy credentials..... of course....but we are also a very social group...and the "gourmet group " provides us with lots of good food, friends, and fun ...and I shoot these ocassions for our archives !
Italian dinner tonight.... and everything excellent..... and a good excuse to set the table careully, with all the best stuff ( and then we discuss what to do with all these nice things eventually....most of our children don't want all that fancy stuff...and don't have room for it ...exception here.... one of Susan's daughters DOES love these things...she will treasure them.)
