Actually taken at Sandringham - though this isn't some comment on the Monarchy, just how it ended up after some fiddling.
apparently my camera has it's own agenda. i do not have a pink crayon, but look at this...! where did the pink come from?

An aside... while thinking about this image I learned
that we possess a tiny crystal of magnetite in the ethmoid bone, located between the eyes, just behind the nose.
Magnetite is a magnetic mineral
also possessed by homing pigeons,
migratory salmon, dolphins, honeybees, bats...
Perhaps the sense behind following one's nose ;-)
Hello my amazing friends !
I don’t know why but seeing two teddy bears sitting silently in a foggy forest, all alone by themselves, absolutely freaks me out. I think that it might have something to do with the fact that those are apparently abandoned …so maybe we are in front of some possessed evil teddy bears….
Have a great Tuesday and don’t let ant twin teddy bears scare you !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!

DURA GIFT FOR ALPHA ANNIVERSARY 2023
THE SILENCE OF THE SIRENS BY FRANZ KAFKA
PROOF that inadequate, even childish measures may serve to rescue one from peril:To protect himself from the Sirens Ulysses stopped his ears with wax and had himself bound to the mast of his ship. Naturally any and every traveler before him could have done the same, except those whom the Sirens allured even from a great distance; but it was known to all the world that such things were of no help whatever. The song of the Sirens could pierce through everything, and the longing of those they seduced would have broken far stronger bonds than chains and masts. But Ulysses did not think of that,although he had probably heard of it. He trusted absolutely to his handful of wax and his fathom of chain, and in innocent elation over his little stratagem sailed out to meet the Sirens.
Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence.And though admittedly such a thing has never happened, still it is conceivable that someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence certainlynever. Against the feeling of having triumphed over them by one’s own strength, and theconsequent exaltation that bears down everything before it, no earthly powers can resist.
And when Ulysses approached them the potent songstresses actually did not sing,whether because they thought that this enemy could be vanquished only by their silence,or because the look of bliss on the face of Ulysses, who was thinking of nothing but his wax and his chains, made them forget their singing.
But Ulysses, if one may so express it, did not hear their silence; he thought they were singing and that he alone did not hear them. For a fleeting moment he saw their throats rising and falling, their breasts lifting, their eyes filled with tears, their lips half-parted, but believed that these were accompaniments to the airs which died unheard around him. Soon, however, all this faded from his sight as he fixed his gaze on the distance, the Sirens literally vanished before his resolution, and at the very moment when they were nearest to him he knew of them no longer.
1But they — lovelier than ever — stretched their necks and turned, let their awesome hair flutter free in the wind, and freely stretched their claws on the rocks. They no longer had any desire to allure; all that they wanted was to hold as long as they could the radiance that fell from Ulysses’ great eyes.
0If the Sirens had possessed consciousness they would have been annihilated at that moment. But they remained as they had been; all that had happened was that Ulysses had escaped them.
A codicil to the foregoing has also been handed down. Ulysses, it is said, was so full of guile, was such a fox, that not even the goddess of fate could pierce his armor.Perhaps he had really noticed, although here the human understanding is beyond its depths, that the Sirens were silent, and held up to them and to the gods the aforementioned pretense merely as a sort of shield.
Aw Chu Kin was a Chinese herbalist at the imperial court of China in the 19th century. He used a gentle herbal ointment from the traditional Chinese pharmacopoeia to relieve the emperor of various ailments.
In the late 1870s, Aw Chu Kin left China for the capital of Burma, Rangoon. He then set up a specialty herbal shop and sold his own medicinal preparations, derived from ancestral traditions, the secret of which only he possessed. This included an extremely diverse ointment for relieving physical pain. This is how Tiger Balm came into being.

The Vizsla is a dog breed originating in Hungary, which belongs under the FCI group 7 (Pointer group). The Hungarian or Magyar Vizsla are sporting dogs and loyal companions, in addition to being the smallest of the all-round pointer-retriever breeds. The Vizsla's medium size is one of the breed's most appealing characteristics as a hunter of fowl and upland game, and through the centuries the Vizsla has held a rare position among sporting dogs – that of household companion and family dog.
The Vizsla is a natural hunter endowed with an excellent nose and an outstanding trainability. Although they are lively, gentle-mannered, demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and possessed of a well-developed protective instinct.[1]

(Sigh)...Dad, can we go play outside?
"The game just started."
You're always watching the game.
"Clancy, we just got back from our bike ride thirty minutes ago. You mostly ran the three kilometers home. When we got on our street you wanted to stop at Phil and Mary's place to play with CJ (German shepherd). The two of you chased each other around the house like maniacs for ten minutes. When we got home you wanted to fetch your ball in ther back yard, and you went at it like a dog possessed. I'm tired from just watching you. Where do you get the energy?"
zzz...
(Happy first day of summer!)

Buckler's Hard is a hamlet on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the English county of Hampshire. With its Georgian cottages running down to the river, Buckler's Hard is part of the 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) Beaulieu Estate. The hamlet is some 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the village of Beaulieu.
Buckler's Hard, originally called Montagu Town, was built by the second Duke of Montagu, and was intended to be a free port for trade with the West Indies. Its geography also favoured the development of shipbuilding, as the hamlet possessed access to a sheltered but navigable waterway with gravel banks capable of supporting slipways for vessel construction and launch. Timber for hulls was also readily available from the surrounding New Forest.

Hands clenched... holding a pen like a dagger... I am intrigued.
So my PC worked perfectly as would be expected yesterday and I was beginning to doubt myself. So far this morning it has again been doing weird unexpected things, software hanging unresponsive, random errors. It's brand new. The software is newly installed. It should not be doing this. I swear this machine is possessed!
I was going to attempt editing some of my 500+ waiting photos but now my trust in this computer is smashed again.
Anyway... I truly hope that you all have a wonderful weekend ahead my Flickr friends. Stay safe out there and keep the shutters clicking.
I know I've been obsessed by those twin dolls... possessed might be more like it, actually... New treatment coming soon, also... *blushes*

Unfortunately there are no prizes for the correct answer..
At times like this I am more than ever pleased that I married a devoted dog walker..an attribute that my late husband just happened to possessed too. I did not go out to choose dog walking husbands...it was entirely coincidental just one of those happy coincidences :)

The Octagonal Garden Room completes the short enfilade beginning at the front door. It is the principal room of the house. Unfinished by Carr, the room has an ornate gilded ceiling with recessed panels in the Italian Renaissance style, installed in 1840. Of the room's eight sides, three have windows forming a large bay, at the centre of which is a large Venetian window echoing the Palladian inspiration of the mansion. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries this room was used to display the finest art its owners possessed. Today, hung with red felt, it contains works by Pompeo Batoni and Giovanni Battista Pittoni. The room contains fine neoclassical furniture, including items made to designs by Robert Adam, and curtains originally made for the state rooms of Blenheim Palace.
Nobody knew exactly when Arthur became a collector of last things. Not antiques, nor rare treasures, but endings.
He waited patiently beneath the oldest oak until its final leaf drifted free. He caught the last snowflake of winter in a crystal vial chilled with mountain ice. He wound the last inch of a worn ball of twine around a tiny wooden card. The final match from an almost empty box. The last drop of ink in a schoolmaster's bottle. The final note sung by a blackbird before dusk. The last warm stone to surrender the day's sunlight.
To everyone else these treasures vanished unnoticed into whatever came next. To Arthur they possessed an extraordinary gravity, like the peculiar weight that only the last word on any matter carries.
This item will be exclusive for Hallow Manor

Mario Botta’s church in Mogno (Church of San Giovanni Battista) at the back of Maggia Valley represents human rebellion against the white death. It is an architectural masterpiece to aid against forgetting.
On 25 April 1986 at 7:15 in the morning, an avalanche came down in Mogno and destroyed the small 17th-century church. Once again nature showed its unpredictable and unruly side.
Shortly afterwards, Mario Botta from Lugano was commissioned to rebuild the new church in honour of St. John the Baptist. In 1990, the contemporary church was opened, becoming one of Botta’s most important works.
The daring building made from alternating layers of native Peccia marble and Maggia Valley granite was extremely controversial, but eventually became a landmark that is known far beyond the borders of Switzerland. The church does not have any windows. The inside, which seats around 15 people, is only illuminated by natural light streaming in through the glass roof.
The original church of San Giovanni Battista Decollato was built in 1626 and was initially a chapel of the parish of Peccia. Towards the end of the 17th century, it became an independent parish church. In 1940 it became part of the parish of Fusio.
The new church and the altar inside are located on the same spot as an earlier church and have strong energetic vibrations. The interplay between the forms and contrasts of the different materials makes this a unique spiritual experience.
Mogno is a village in Vallemaggia District in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. Mogno is situated near the top of Val Lavizzara, a valley through which the upper Maggia river flows. Formerly part of the municipality of Fusio, which merged with adjoining municipalities in 2004 to form the new municipality of Lavizzara.
In the 17th century it possessed 50 taxable fireplaces. By 1801, the population had dropped to just 40 inhabitants. Today it is no longer inhabited all year round and serves only as a holiday village. Before Mogno was incorporated in 1936 into Fusio, it was part of Peccia, and the land around the settlement was shared between Fusio, Peccia, Prato and Sornica.
