'The Poposal'
Late afternoon today.
Lavender Bay, Sydney.
Saturday, 15th April, 2023.
During my usual Saturday trek around the harbour today I discovered, by chance, this elaborate setting near the wharf at Lavender Bay. It was a marriage proposal complete with roses, candles, a 'Marry Me' sign, and a photographer (or two, lol), not to mention a bridge and a skyline.
Now why did I not think to do this some years ago?

She said yes!
Here you can see her displaying (on the left) while he taps the ground (road) with his beak, which she also responded in kind to moments later.
They were last sighted flying 'wing in wing' to our Lilly Pilly tree. Hopefully I will get to see the chicks in due course.
Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.
The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]
Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]
Redevelopment[edit]
The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]
Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]

Sun coming out on a foggy day at Neskowin Beach, OR. I had gone to see the Neskowin Ghost Forest but had no luck, apparently it’s buried in sand mist of the time.
I watched this couple taking photos at the Lincoln Memorial. When the man bent down on one knee I could not resist the opportunity to take this shot. The freedom to express love in our country is wonderful. I wish them the best of luck for a future where we all live as one family

Mary, Princess Royal, Princess of Orange and Countess of Nassau (4 November 1631 – 24 December 1660) was the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland and his queen, Henrietta Maria. She was the wife of William II, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau (27 May 1626–6 November 1650) and the mother of King William III of England and Ireland, II of Scotland (14 November 1650–8 May 1702). Mary Stuart or Mary of Orange, as she was also known, was the first daughter of a British Sovereign to hold the title Princess Royal.
Mary Henrietta Stuart was born at St. James's Palace, London. Charles I designated her Princess Royal in 1642, thus establishing the tradition that the eldest daughter of the British Sovereign might bear this title. The title came into being when Queen Henriette Maria, the daughter of King Henri IV of France wished to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the French king was styled (Madame Royale). Until that time, the eldest daughters of English and Scottish kings were variously titled Lady or Princess (The younger daughters of British Sovereigns were not consistently titled princesses of Great Britain and styled Royal Highness until the ascension of George I in 1714).
Her father, Charles I, wished the Princess Royal to marry a son of Philip IV, king of Spain, while her first cousin, Karl Ludwig, the Elector Palatine, was also a suitor for her hand. Both proposals fell through and she was betrothed to Willem, the son and heir of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of the United Provinces, and of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. The marriage took place on 2 May 1641 at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall Palace, London, but was not consummated for several years due to the bride's age. However, in 1642, Mary crossed over to the Dutch Republic with her mother, Queen Henrietta Maria, and in 1644, as the daughter-in-law of the stadtholder, she began to take her place in public life.
In March 1647, her husband, William II, succeeded his father as stadholder. However, in November 1650, just after his attempt to capture Amsterdam from his political opponents, he died of smallpox. The couple's only child, Willem (later William III), was born a few days later. The Dowager Princess of Orange was obliged to share the guardianship of her infant son, with his grandmother Amalia, the widow of Frederick Henry, and with Frederick William, the elector of Brandenburg. She was unpopular with the Dutch due to her sympathies with her family, the Stuarts; and at length, public opinion having been further angered by the hospitality that she showed to her brothers, the exiled Charles II and the Duke of York (later James II), she was forbidden to receive her relatives. From 1654 to 1657, the princess passed most of her time away from Holland. In 1657 she became regent on behalf of her son for the principality of Orange, but the difficulties of her position led her to implore the assistance of Louis XIV of France; the French king answered by seizing the principality.
The restoration of Charles II in England and Scotland greatly enhanced the position of the Dowager Princess of Orange and her son in Holland. In September 1660, she returned to England. She died of smallpox at Whitehall Palace, London and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Love, once imparted, takes on a life of its own resistant to annihilation.

This is on top of the Grand Teton in Wyoming. It was an amazing alpine climb that we started from the moraine below the Lower Saddle at 3am. This is not staged as I caught my girlfriend (fiance) totally off guard! I set up the camera on a tripod for a shot which is nothing out of the ordinary. After taking a picture I asked her to stand up while I got down on one knee and pulled the ring out of my jacket pocket. She started crying and happily accepted. Luckily I had the wits about me to reach into my pocket and engage the shutter release remote to capture this moment! I got some amazing pictures on this trip to the Tetons but this is certainly my favorite! Hope you all enjoy!
Here is a video I made from this special climb: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCg5e-gkob8

Man proposing to girlfriend on Haskell's beach during sunset in Goleta, Santa Barbara, California, USA while on vacation by the pier.
After that disastrous first date it took years of therapy for Elizabeth to start dating again. When she finally met Sebastian, she couldn't be more happy since she knew right away he was the one for her. Numerous dates came and went by and on a beautiful spring morning in the park, he proposed to her.
But as soon as Elizabeth saw the ring she started to scream and ran away in terror ... Sebastian never saw her again and up to this very day he still wonders whether his quote "one ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them" was maybe a little too much ...
This is a genuine marriage proposal, I was wandering around Welwyn Garden City and wanted to photograph the light tunnel. On arrival a young couple was there so I asked if they would mind being in my shot. Much to my astonishment the scene I was recording was a marriage proposal which was accepted. We then exchanged details and I sent them a picture. Later in the day I asked them for permission to upload this picture. Such a wonderful moment and a delight to witness.
View of Proposal Rock and Neskowin, Oregon Coast.
"The Rock is named for a local legend of a sea captain taking his beloved there to propose to her. The proposal was from Charley Gage to Della Page sometime around 1900. Della's mother, Sarah, then dubbed it Proposal Rock to mark the occasion."
Instead of listening to science and reason, a lot of people want to reopen businesses and return to work because they spent their life's savings hoarding toilet tissue. Here's the deal. Work is available. Just go to your local hospital and work as support staff. The checks cash.
If you really want to relax social distancing and return to your old job, I, for one, do not mind. Just sign a Do Not Intubate / Do Not Resuscitate order and agree to donate plasma to Convalescent plasma programs if you survive. Done. Now get back to work. I want a cheeseburger and fries!
