A statue of the Virgin defends the Narbonne Gate which is set into the inner wall. This is the second defensive wall and gate, beyond this is the main street of the city.

Interesting find at a restroom stop.
Pita is a master of expressions, and this one is her "please, Mom, I've been a good girl," look that she uses to remind me to take her with me when I go out side to take photos or go in to town to do some shopping. She loves to go everywhere with me. What could be more of a cliche than a cute pet pic or "man's best friend" and black and white to boot?

I and my family are OK in Tokyo. I decided to resume uploading photos on flickr because I'm alive and it's what I can do.

This is for you.
Not the smiling you. Not the laughing you. Not the you everyone else sees.
This is for the you I see.
This is for the you curled up in the corner of your room.
This is for the girl who is aching.
This is for the girl who's entire world is crashing down around her.
This is for the one who's been abused. Who's been hurt. Who's been lied to.
This is for you.
I love you.
Do something for me, will you?
Go outside.
Sit in the sunshine. Let it dry your tears.
Take a breath.
Feel the breeze in your fingers.
Know that there's more.
More than that corner.
You are more.
Scream if you have to.
Break something if you have to.
But when it's over, know that you are loved.
He doesn't matter. What he did doesn't matter.
But you do.
You matter.
I love you.
You don't need to be quiet anymore.
{35} No thought today. Just prayer.

From yesterday... #2 Taken one evening with my bud Grantthai while sipping a cool one looking for an alluring capture to take place.. along she came hustling to us the perfect shoeshine... Just a kid driven by some greedy individuals.. who thrive on exploiting kids... all is done in a good natured way but you can see and feel their pain.. while on the other side of the street a man is watching... smoking and drinking the fruits of his labor..:-(
==========================
Suite d'hier de la meme serie #2... Prise voici deja un petit bout de temps avec mopn pote Grantthai.. Elle est venue cette gamine avec son approche de vente directe a qui veut bien l'entendre.. Une gentille mais aguerrie petire gamine sous la tutelle d'idiots de premiere qui en profite et exploite leur jeunesse pendant qu'eux se gavent de Mekong avec une cigarette tout en surveillant leur proie..
Du classique en Asie helas.. Celle-ci etait tres lucide et affaires... On sent aussi qu'ils sont surveilles par des connards de la pire espece.. On exploite les gamins ici et en pleine vue du tout venant.. Pas rellement drole :-( Mais une realite tres dure ..
Please note ***
I was not searching for Adders, this one was insight of a footpath, it was spotted, photographed and left exactly as it was found. :-)

Now, this little Ford Fusion was driving down the road with no problem. It did pass me on the right at one juncture. He has a tinted license plate cover. This is the exact location where I was pulled over by a nice LMPD officer who indicated he could not read my plates. He said there was a glare on it and he could not read it 300 ft. away. (Note - the sun was setting at the time). He said the plate cover had some mud on it.
I asked the nice officer if I could get out of the car so he could show me the problem. He said I could.
As I exited the vehicle he grabbed my arm, twisting it, and slammed me into the car and proceeded to cuff me, while stating, "Is this what you like?". I asked why he chose to do that. He said "Because you moved too slow". No, officer. I expect you to be able to see well, hear well and act professionally, as that is your job which you accept a salary for. Your job is not to rough up, bruise and maim individuals you believe you can for the "sport" of it. You were well aware I was not a threat to you and your partner. "Serve and Protect" - remember?
He then said I was being detained and walked me to the back of my car. He took my purse (fanny pack) with him into the patrol car and sat with it over 30 minutes. He did go through my address book as he commented on it's contents when he returned. I suggested to his partner perhaps this officer might want to invest in a good pair of glasses and hearing aids.
He gave me a ticket for "improper display of registration plates". This occurred on Good Friday.
I then drove to Auto Zone with the plate cover. Auto Zone stated they were legal in Kentucky but they did then replace the plate cover with a clear one at my request.
The man at Auto Zone told me he also had a problem, and then went on to tell me about the unlawful searches on others that have occurred here in Louisville. He said men and boys were being bodily searched, unlawfully, by police officers while on the road. This one was fairly recent: youtu.be/LtQG0JlCORI
I met a nice lady today who told me the same thing happened to her, and many of her Church friends. She says they just pay them and don't attempt to fight them, as they want a peaceful existence. Even though they did nothing wrong and the charge was false.
I am inviting others from law enforcement AND the military to visit Louisville - they are welcome to ride in the back seat of my vehicle, hunkered down, if/when the next violation occurs. Without identifying themselves, of course. Let's see if *they* get roughed up. I'm 5/2 and weigh 115 lbs. I wonder if they would do the same to someone who was a male, 6' weighing 250 lbs.
The above car doesn't seem to be having any problems.
******************
Update: 16 November 2018
Appeared in court - with the help of an outstanding Pubic Defender (Christopher Schramm) all charges were dropped. The attorney also advised me of my right to institute legal proceedings against LMPD if I so chose.
It is indeed unfortunate those with any type of hearing, auditory processing or language barriers are not able to be aware of what, exactly, their rights are.

Update: April 14, 2023
In light of the recent horrendous mass shooting here in Louisville, KY this week on April 10, 2023, a good deal of retrospect is due. Sometimes seeing both sides of the fight to survive makes a world of difference. My heart breaks for this community, their families, the deceased but most especially for 26 year old LMPD Officer Nickolas Wilt, a rookie police officer who previously served as an EMT, firefighter, and emergency dispatcher and is now clinging to life today. We have shootings here every day but this one....this one hits home.
To the officers involved in my above encounter with them on April 16, 2018 - I do owe you both my sincerest apologies for what transpired. No harm done and I hope we can all rethink our roles in this world. Life is precious. Value it - I am thankful I am not walking in your shoes and proud that you do. Thank you. I do understand now how unimportant and petty the 04/16/18 incident really was and appreciate the learning opportunity from you all. You are indeed heroes.

Please consider leaving a comment if you fave, it is lovely to hear from you! xx
In Pryzm nightclub, Leeds.
Today is the very last day you can express concern and ask the State of Tennessee NOT TO ALLOW AN OPEN SEASON ON SANDHILL CRANES.
Please take the time today to send a request to the following asking them not to allow the hunting season:
jeff.mcmillin@tn.gov
ed.carter@tn.gov
TWRA.comment@tn.gov
If you're interested in the reasons, there are many. First is the likelihood that a whooping crane will be mistaken and killed during this hunt. There are two known, young whoopers that accompany flocks of sandhills and probably many more that haven't been identified. Very few nesting sandhills even replace themselves so the flocks are dwindling without an open season. And - the best reason of all is the sheer beauty of seeing the skies darkened by huge flocks of very large birds that stop over in migration at only a couple of resting places in the US. I would think that this is a gift that should be preserved for our following generations since so few true gifts are left to enjoy.
