[edit] Early life
Born as Princess Maud of Wales at Marlborough House, London as the daughter of The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), the eldest son of Queen Victoria and heir apparent to the British throne. Her mother was the then Princess of Wales, Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
Princess Maud was christened at Marlborough House by John Jackson, Bishop of London, on 24 December 1869. Her godparents were the King of Sweden and Norway; Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany; the Landgrave of Hesse; Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg; Adelaide, the Duchess of Nassau; Marie, the Princess of Leiningen; Grand Duchess Marie Feodorovna (later empress); Crown Princess Louise of Denmark; and Cecilia, the Duchess of Inverness.
She was a high-spirited child, a quality that earned her the nickname Harry. Princess Maud of Wales took part in almost all the annual visits to the Princess of Wales's family in Denmark and later accompanied her mother and her sisters on cruises to Norway and the Mediterranean. She, along with her sisters Princess Victoria and Princess Louise, received the Imperial Order of the Crown of India from Queen Victoria on 6 August 1887. Like her sisters, Princess Maud also held the First Class of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert and a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.
[edit] Marriage
On 22 July 1896, Princess Maud married her first cousin, Prince Carl of Denmark, in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. Prince Carl was the second son of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark, Queen Alexandra's elder brother, and Princess Louise of Sweden. The bride's father, the Prince of Wales, gave her Appleton House on the Sandringham Estate, as a country residence for her frequent visits to England. It was there that the couple's only child, Prince Alexander, was born on July 2, 1903.
Prince Carl was an officer in the Danish navy and he and his family lived mainly in Denmark until 1905. In June of that year, the Norwegian parliament, Storting, dissolved Norway's one hundred year-old union with Sweden and voted to offer the throne to Prince Carl. Following a plebiscite in November, Prince Carl accepted the Norwegian throne, taking the name of Haakon VII, while his young son took the name of Olav. King Haakon and Queen Maud were crowned at the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on June 22, 1906, the last coronation of a Scandinavian monarch.
[edit] Royal life
Queen Maud never lost her love of Britain, but she quickly adapted to her new country and duties as a queen consort. She supported charitable causes, particularly those associated with children and animals, and gave encouragement to musicians and artists. She learned to ski and arranged for an English garden at Kongsseteren, the Royal lodge overlooking the nation's capital Oslo. Queen Maud's last public appearance in Britain was the coronation of her great nephew, King George VI, in May 1937. She sat in the royal box at Westminster Abbey next to her sister-in-law Queen Mary and her niece the Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood.
Maud also acquired a reputation for dressing with fashionable chic. An exhibition of numerous items from her elegant wardrobe was held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2005.
[edit] Later life
Maud died of heart failure in London on November 20, 1938, only days before her 69th birthday, three days after an operation. Her body was returned to Norway on board the HMS Royal Oak, the flagship of Second Battle Squadron of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet. Queen Maud was buried in the royal mausoleum at the Castle of Akershus.

Project Apollo: Mission to the Moon

Lightning pounce. Typical play hour. I was saying to my husband, "He's all hyper now," because he'd just been caught sneaking up on top of the Forbidden Bookshelf. It seems to make him happy whenever he gets caught.
To see today's sneaky exploration of the forbidden bookshelf, go here.
I finished a project for class. It's three photos of the same thing, stuck in place with MT5 in order to create an illusion of a further away vanishing point.
HP5+ film and Ilford MGIV VC paper.
I've been neglecting Project 52! [guilt] Now posting A, C, D, F (having forgotten B and E...!) Will try to do better in future
(This is definitely my favourite beer at the moment, Bristol Beer Factory's Southville Hop. An IPA, very astringent. Unfortunately it is 6.8% ABV so it rather blows your head off. They do a couple of beers with a similar flavour but lower alcohol, though: Acer and Independence.)
This project will end here, for now. Life got in the way, and I might have bitten more than I could chew, so that´s that. Can´t do it all, and I understand that sadly, photography can not be my priority at this time.
I will still take photos, and I will still upload them. Not as often and not in the "365 days" format.

Project SWORD was a TV21 feature built around a very fantastic range of toys as opposed to a TV programme. This Annual featured striking images of the vehicles.
Today I stepped out of my comfort zone when I took this image as the first in my '100 Strangers Project'.
I stopped at my girlfriends house on lunch hoping to see and possibly photograph the pair of Cooper Hawks that had chosen a large pine in her backyard to build their nest. I was very limited on time (about 15 min), and though I didn't see the hawks I did meet someone new.
Let me introduce you to Ralph. He lives next to Chris and the nesting tree straddles their property line. Ralph saw us wandering about with our camera's clicking off random shots and decided to come out to see what was up.
We talked about how excited we were about the possibility of watching the chicks develop. We talked about ways we would all be careful and observe not disturb.
He had a great sense of humor and helped us look for owl pellets I planned to use to teach kids more about birds of prey in my docent work. We also found the remains of the hawks breakfast... a woodpecker skull with the bill intact but because it's protected by the migratory bird act, we couldn't do anything with it.
It was time for me to return to work and all of a sudden I realized that I had the opportunity to ask my first stranger if he would be willing to let me take his photo and post it as part of my project. I will admit I was a bit nervous asking, but he thought it was a worthy project and thought it was fun that I asked him to be my first victim. (I did say he had a great sense of humor).
I look forward to running into him periodically through the season as we all enjoy the novelty of watching nature in action.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.

We have lived in this neighborhood since May 2010. It borders a tidal creek and there is a golf course. It's such a treat to walk the cart path on holes 17 & 18 as the marsh borders these holes.
Every day brings something wonderful to see and experience.
Please walk with us. I want to show you my favorite sights. I want to show you the things that fill me with wonder - it's like being a child all over again for me.
Nature. There is nothing like it!
Supported by Reclamation funding, the Sailor Bar Project is an ambitious, concentrated endeavor taking place on a river that flows through suburban Sacramento County and which attracts multitudes of hikers, cyclists and rafters. The month-long project is implemented via the Water Forum, a consortium of public agencies, business groups and non-governmental organizations.
