"You are a philosopher, Dr. Johnson. I have tried too in my time to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in".
Oliver Edwards, in James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson (17 April 1778).
This Merry Moloch is one of the numerous magical beings whose benevolent effulgence fills the landscape. Their power is daily increasing and soon all that was broken will be put right! :)
But until that happy day, I can only apologise for my tardy commenting or replying in the last little while - I am running around like a mad thing :(

Recent stencil work. Yeah I'll do something new soon i promise. Just found card to make HUUUUUUUGE multi layered work for the upcoming stencil fest.
This mile-long path runs between Ginkakuji and Nanzen-ji Shrine along a canal. This picture shows a similar scene (though not exactly the same spot) in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. That would be quite a sight to see.
Denver, and the entire west coast is not healthy for people anymore.
A looting and land-stealing culture is fireing (firing) upon it with linear-accelerator weapons.
Trust no U.S. Govt. official. Or doctors.
The attacks think any of their victims are equal to cockroaches and deserve all belongings stolen.
No one in govt. will help any of the attacked.
They let them continue to be attacked without getting them to safety, or detectors.
Brain-damaging, painful sometimes, thought-interactive.
They locate things to steal.
They are selfish in all thoughts and actions. Appear to believe tortures help people, and in an afterlife or reincarnation. Or a caste system.
Also appear to practise (practice) white slavery.
I initially thought the fuzzy blob was some kind of caterpillar, but when I looked more carefully, I realised it was a little jumping spider. I have other photos of this species, but it is a favourite, and I liked the way he just sat there, ignoring me and looking as if he might be contemplating his existence.
The 1950s also saw the development of Philosophers' Rock. Roy Bedicheck, a naturalist, J. Frank Dobie, a folklorist, and Walter Prescott Webb, a historian, would gather on a flat rock near the diving board and talk about an infinite number of things. John Henry Faulk, Walter Bremond, and Skinny Pryor were known to drop in. A statue by Santa Fe artist Glenna Goodacre at the main entrance to Barton Springs honors these men. "If I have to fight for this country, I will not fight for the flag, or the American 'way of life', or democracy, or private enterprise or for any other abstractions, which seem cold as kraut to me. But I will fight to the last ditch for Barton Creek, Boggy Creek, cedar-covered limestone hills, blazing star and bluebonnets, golden- cheeked warblers and black-capped vireos... This love of your native land is basic." - Roy Bedicheck.
George Berkeley was born on 12 March 1685 at Dysart Castle, Co. Kilkenny. Educated TCD, where he remained until 1713 as fellow and tutor. In 1709 he published his Essay towards a New Theory of Vision and developed his thought further in A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710) and Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous (1713).
Between 1714 and 1721 he traveled widely in France and Italy and when he returned to Ireland, wrote Essay Towards Preventing the Ruin of Great Britain. He entered the Church and in 1724 he was as appointed to the deanery of Derry. He then advanced the project of a college in the Bermudas, to reform the English colonists and civilize the natives. For this he was given a government grant of £20,000. He sailed for the West Indies in 1728 but never arrived there, staying for three years in Rhode Island. His Alciphron, written there, defends religion against freethinkers. The grant was withdrawn, and he returned in 1731.
In 1734 Berkeley was appointed Bishop of Cloyne but devoted himself to philosophical speculation. That year he published The Analyst a critical examination of Newtonian mathematics and in 1735 the first of three volumes of the Querist, containing in all some five hundred questions on the social and economic problems of Ireland, 'with hints on legislation and political economy.' Further pamphlets on Ireland followed with appeals for religious toleration. The last of his philosophical works was Siris (1744).
In 1752 failing health forced his resignation and he moved to Oxford, where he died in January 1753. He is buried in Christ Church Cathedral

The 1858 painting by Thomas J. Stillman depicts himself with his Adirondack wilderness guides and guests, friend John Holmes, poets Ralph Emerson and James Lowell, scientists Louis Agassiz and Jeffries Wyman, along with doctors Estes Howe and Amos Binney, and lawyers Ebenezer Hoar and Horatio Woodman. Henry Longfellow was to join them, but fearing the rifle Emerson carried into the wilderness, he decided not to join the group.

I was out of town in the countryside when I chanced upon a group of "bayawak" in an upside down position. The native dwellers in this place would hunt the "bayawak" to be sold to the passersby and tourists either as a pet or as delicacy in the retaurant. This kind of specie is already endangered in the Philippines because of the vanishing forests in the mountains. Here, I titled the photo as "Distorted Reality: the Girl from a Distance" to put a contrast between man and the endangered animal.
