'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.
I turned my head and saw this couple in the riverside of Douro river.
If somebody konws them, please address them to me. I would like to give them all the pictures I shot of this unforgettable moment.
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.

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.
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.
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!

I was finally able to roll out early enough to catch a sunrise on the beach this morning.
I saw this couple walking hand in hand along the waters edge, and then the guy dropped down on his knee.
I can't be sure that he was actually proposing......maybe he was just taking a nice picture of his girlfriend on the beach at sunrise with his cellphone, I really couldn't see exactly what was going on, but being the hopeless romantic I am, I'd like to imagine he was whipping out a little blue box from TIffany's (hey....if your gonna dream....dream BIG!), and asking her to spend the rest of her life with him......and of course she said yes! 8-)
Have an AWESOME weekend Peeps!
If your traveling this holiday, stay safe!!

My partner is using the PINK MOON "Look at Me" pose set to help make a decision, and I'm thrilled to receive a "YES"!
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. As the United States developed the Southwest, the Colorado River was seen as a potential source of irrigation water. An initial attempt at diverting the river for irrigation purposes occurred in the late 1890s, when land speculator William Beatty built the Alamo Canal just north of the Mexican border; the canal dipped into Mexico before running to a desolate area Beatty named the Imperial Valley. Though water from the Imperial Canal allowed for the widespread settlement of the valley, the canal proved expensive to maintain. After a catastrophic breach that caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Sea, the Southern Pacific Railroad spent $3 million in 1906–07 to stabilize the waterway, an amount it hoped in vain would be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Even after the waterway was stabilized, it proved unsatisfactory because of constant disputes with landowners on the Mexican side of the border. As the technology of electric power transmission improved, the Lower Colorado was considered for its hydroelectric-power potential. In 1902, the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles surveyed the river in the hope of building a 40-foot (12 m) rock dam which could generate 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kW). However, at the time, the limit of transmission of electric power was 80 miles (130 km), and there were few customers (mostly mines) within that limit. Edison allowed land options it held on the river to lapse—including an option for what became the site of Hoover Dam. In the following years, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), known as the Reclamation Service at the time, also considered the Lower Colorado as the site for a dam. Service chief Arthur Powell Davis proposed using dynamite to collapse the walls of Boulder Canyon, 20 miles (32 km) north of the eventual dam site, into the river. The river would carry off the smaller pieces of debris, and a dam would be built incorporating the remaining rubble. In 1922, after considering it for several years, the Reclamation Service finally rejected the proposal, citing doubts about the unproven technique and questions as to whether it would in fact save money.
