This Anhinga Pounced up to the lowest branch it could find after getting wet in the water, Shaking off its wings and leaving them out to dry in the warm Everglades sun.

Rivendell Hunqapillar with Burley Piccolo. I ride my son to school in the morning (~1 mile). He's quite good on his own two-wheeler, but I haven't figured out a safe enough route for us to-be on separate bikes. Maybe come springtime.

"the bird's nest olympic stadium"
taken from my beijing trip last september 2010...i'm randomly posting shots from my travels for the past year.
everyone at that time were so anxious to take photos of this building while the lights were on....i was more anxious when the lights were off. i always wondered how this stadium would look when the lights were turned off....and i was not dissapointed. this building was one of most unforgettable building that i experienced....it was soooooooo huge!!! visiting it was so much different than seeing it on tv and in books!!!

The Sunday Off at St. Genevieve’s Academy was always a cherished time—a fleeting moment of respite from the rigorous discipline and strict dress code that governed their days. Yet even in their leisure, decorum and elegance were expected.
That afternoon, Clara, Emma, Charlotte, Sophie, and Leticia gathered in the school’s grand library, a room filled with towering wooden bookshelves, ornate fireplaces, and plush Persian rugs. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting golden patterns on the richly decorated floor. The girls had carefully chosen this spot—not only was it the most beautiful corner of the library, but it was also the ideal setting for their literary escape into the world of Victorian heroines.
They had each brought their most beloved novels—Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and North and South, among others—and as they settled comfortably on the rug, they couldn’t help but discuss their attire.
The Girls' Elegant Sunday Dresses
Their Sunday best, though still bound by their dress code, allowed for a softer, more personal touch than the weekday formality of blazers and fitted skirts.
Clara, always refined yet subtly expressive, wore a pleated navy-blue skirt that swayed gently with every movement. Her crisp white blouse was perfectly buttoned to the collar, but she had allowed herself a touch of softness with delicate pearl earrings. She stretched her legs out in front of her, admiring the way her sheer stockings complemented the dark fabric of her skirt.
Emma, ever cheerful and lively, had chosen a flowing mustard-yellow pleated skirt that added a splash of vibrancy to the subdued tones of the room. Her white blouse, adorned with ruffled detailing and a black ribbon tie, gave her an air of playful sophistication. She tucked her legs beneath her, smoothing her skirt over her lap with a soft sigh.
Charlotte, the most meticulous of the group, had opted for a floral-print A-line skirt in pastel shades of pink and blue. The pattern was delicate, evoking the femininity of a bygone era. She had carefully fastened a silk bow at the collar of her blouse.
Sophie and Leticia, seated beside each other, had chosen similarly demure but graceful ensembles—both in classic navy skirts with crisp buttoned-up blouses. They mirrored each other’s poised posture, a reflection of their shared appreciation for refined simplicity.
As the conversation drifted toward their books, so too did it turn to a fascination with the Victorian era.
Dreaming of Victorian Elegance
"Just imagine," Clara mused, running her fingers lightly along the gold-edged pages of Wuthering Heights, "if we were young Victorian ladies spending our Sunday off like this—but in corsets, bustles, and petticoats!"
Emma laughed, leaning back on her hands. "Oh, the agony! We think our dress code is strict, but can you imagine the discomfort of laced-up corsets?"
Charlotte, ever the romantic, sighed wistfully. "But wouldn’t it be lovely too? Wearing layers of silk, lace, and bonnets trimmed with ribbons… strolling through a garden with a parasol…"
Leticia smirked, setting down her book. "Until you realize that after high tea, you’d have to sit perfectly straight for hours, sipping tea in stiff brocade gowns with hardly any breath left!"
Sophie nodded. "And we’d have to wear gloves at all times. Even indoors!" She wiggled her fingers dramatically as if already feeling the constraint of tight lace gloves.
Despite the humor, the girls couldn’t resist the enchantment of the era they so admired. What would their Victorian selves have worn on a Sunday off?
Imagining Their Victorian Wardrobes
Clara pictured herself in a powder-blue muslin gown with delicate white lace trim, a soft bonnet tied under her chin with a satin ribbon, and a fitted bodice that would force her to sit ramrod straight even as she read her beloved novels.
Emma envisioned herself in a cheerful yellow dress, with puffed sleeves and a bustle, carrying a lace-trimmed parasol as she wandered through the gardens, gossiping with her friends about the latest romantic scandal in the papers.
Charlotte longed for a rose-colored gown with layers of fine petticoats, perhaps a velvet cape for chilly afternoons, and of course, dainty buttoned boots that would tap delicately against the cobblestone streets as she walked.
Sophie and Leticia, the more practical of the group, imagined simple yet elegant woolen gowns in deep jewel tones, perfect for reading by the fireplace while the rain pattered softly against the windows.
As their imaginations ran wild, their conversation grew more expressive, each girl weaving her own fantasy of Victorian elegance and restraint.
A Blend of Longing and Relief
For all their admiration of the beauty and refinement of Victorian fashion, they couldn’t ignore the sacrifices it demanded.
Charlotte, tugging lightly at the bow of her blouse, sighed. "As much as I adore the idea, I don’t think I’d last a day without being able to take a deep breath."
Emma grinned. "And imagine running in a layered gown! You’d probably faint before you even reached the garden gate!"
Clara smiled softly, tracing the edge of her skirt. "But wouldn’t it be wonderful to at least experience it? Just for one day—to dress like a true Victorian lady, to be admired for our refinement, to glide through a ballroom in layers of silk?"
Leticia raised an eyebrow. "And to be scolded for showing an ankle? No, thank you."
Their laughter rippled through the library, filling the grand, book-lined room with the sound of youthful delight.
Despite their strict dress code, they secretly enjoyed their own version of elegance—the pleated skirts, high-collared blouses, ribbons, and headscarves that gave them a sense of refinement without complete restriction.
For now, they would continue dreaming of the past while savoring the comforts of the present—sharing their favorite novels, lounging gracefully on the ornate rug, and basking in the warm glow of a Sunday well spent.

On the 31st March 2018 the 'Oldenburg' (1958, 294GRT) leaves Ilfracombe for Bideford. This was a positioning move having arrived from Lundy on the third sailing of the season.
The 'Oldenburg' is named after the former grand duchy of Oldenburg, Germany, and built in Bremen. She was delivered to Deutsche Bundesbahn Schiffsdienst Wangerooge for use on a ferry service between the mainland and the Frisian island of Wangerooge.
Between 1975 and 1985 she was used on various operations including duty free sailings from Germany.
In November 1985 she was sold to the Lundy Co. Ltd and has since provided a freight and passenger service to the island in the Bristol Channel.

We'd heard all about the airport runway here on Skiathos, where you can see the planes taking off and landing within a few metres of a public road.
We'd watched YouTube videos beforehand and thought we knew what to expect, but we totally underestimated the thrill of seeing aircraft up close like this.
As they landed they flew just a few feet above us, and when they took off the jet blast was incredible - it was difficult to stay upright and the warning signs were there for a very good reason! Mike nearly lost his hat on one occasion and had to run after it (luckily it ended up in bushes so he was able to retrieve it).
Sometimes the pilots would wave to us onlookers as they turned the plane before take-off!
We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back a couple more times, and even managed to video them.

Cut Off, Louisiana is a small community located in coastal Lafourche Parish. The population is about 6,000 with a local Cajun culture that is unique in Louisiana itself. The climate is semitropical and influenced by the Gulf of Mexico. The community lines Bayou Lafourche and the Intracoastal Canal, most of the land is low at around sea level surrounded by a levee. Coastal erosion is a big issue and threatens the very existance of this one of a kind place.
