In the 1970s, when I used to stay at my Grandparent's house when my Mum and Dad went disco dancing, or whatever they called it before disco dancing was a thing, there was a TV series they used to watch called "How Green was my Valley". I remember little of it, except Granddad saying the valley was go green because of all the rain.
So, on Sunday, the rain was due to fall in the valleys, the hills and all else between.
What to do when we had come away without coats and umbrella?
Churchcrawling.
And thanks to the Church Conservation Trust, you ban fairly reply on those under their care to be open. I made a list of their churches in Shropshire, and after breakfast we set off for the first one, passing through the village of Knockin.
I kid ye not.
Where the village shop is called, of course, The Knockin Shop.
I also kid ye not.
Rain fell, roads were nearly flooded, so we splish-splashed our way across the county, down valley and up hills until we came to the entrance of an estate.
Here be a church.
Not sure if we could drive to it, I got out and walked, getting damp as the rain fell through the trees.
But the church was there, and open, if poorly lit inside. And I was able to get shots before walking up the hill to the car.
Two more churches tried, but they were locked and no keyholder about. So onto Wroxter, where a large and imposing church towered over the road. And to get there we passed through a former Roman settlement from which the modern town too its name. Most impressive was a reconstruction of a villa.
But we did not stop.
The church was open, light and airy even on a gloomy and wet day. I got loads of shots, especially of the fine tombs.
The final church was one not under the CCC, but one I had seen shots of online earlier in the week.
It took half an hour to drive to Diddlebury.
I kid ye not. Again.
And up the hill was the church, with a huge squat Saxon, or early Norman tower, and insode both the north and west walls were Saxon, with the north wall being made of dressed stone laid in a herringbone style.
It is an incredible survivor, and glad that I made the effort to come, as the church is amazing.
-------------------------------------------
St. Peter’s church, known by this dedication since at least 1322, is one of four churches in Shropshire with substantial Anglo-Saxon remains. The original building consisted of a nave with a west tower which was subsequently rebuilt in Norman times. The north wall, with its characteristic small double-splayed window and blocked door is the most visible surviving feature and dates from the eleventh century. The combination of dressed square ashlar masonry on the outside with herringbone work on the interior is most unusual, and has been the subject of much academic controversy.
Other Anglo-Saxon work includes some herringbone work in the North West corner, and fragments of sculpture, one of which predates the building by a century.
The chancel was added in the twelfth century, and some of the original windows survive. The tower was rebuilt in Norman times, and the later buttresses show that the structure had been unstable from an early date. The large blocked western arch is unusual, and its original purpose is unclear. The tower also features animal heads on the west face, and two sheila-na-gigs (obscene female figures) on the south side.
The south aisle originally dated from the fourteenth century, but was rebuilt in 1860. Inside the church, few furnishings survived Nicholson’s restoration in 1883, but the Royal Arms of William III on the west wall, painted in 1700, are worthy of note, as are the Jacobean corbels retained when the old ceiling was replaced in 1860.
Monuments in the church are mostly small mural tablets commemorating local gentry families of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Note the two
fourteenth century tomb recesses in the chancel, one of which contains a later heraldic brass to Charles Baldwyn (1674), and also the small brass high on the north wall of the Vestry (formerly the Baldwyn family aisle of 1609). This commemorates Thomas Baldwyn (1614), who had earlier been imprisoned in the Tower of London for involvement with Mary Queen of Scots. There is good Victorian glass in the chancel.

"As long as there's one person on earth who remembers you, it isn't over."
-Oscar Hammerstein from the Musical Carousel
I remember honoring my uncle Richard in my younger days, he was killed on Thanksgiving Day in Viet Nam the same year I was born. I remember honoring all those who passed before in the the Korean, WWII, WWI and the Civil War.
As I grew older, we started to honor the Peace Officers, Firefighters and relatives and friends, too. But, I have to say, even after honoring those in the first Gulf War, the one event that changed the way I realize the true significance of what Memorial Day is all about would have to be the one- seemingly, normal day of 9/11/2011. But, normal it would never be again. Since 9/11, the sacrifice of those lost in that day of National Tragedy, and the thousands lost since then in Afghanistan and Iraq really have given my heart and soul a sense what the day is all about. This photo is my expression of my feelings of my observance to all those lost, those who served and those who do still stand that post. God Bless America and Amen.

A 250-mile running challenge ‘Run to Remember’ ended on at Manchester’s Sportcity on Friday 4th of April.
Police officers and staff from across the country raised an estimated £100,000 for charity running in the memory of Greater Manchester Police officer Nicola Hughes.
The challenge saw 1,800 officers from run two miles-a-day for 125 days.
Nicola and her colleague PC Fiona Bone were killed while investigating a suspected burglary in Hattersley, Tameside in 2012.
Friday saw hundreds of officers and staff running the final two-mile leg around the Manchester Regional Arena.
Nicola's father Bryn, who organized the challenge said: “It has been fantastic, the turnout and determination has been amazing.
“It has been so overwhelming – at times you cannot describe it. The amount of support we have had has just been overwhelming,
"I wanted to do something positive to remember Nicola by. The biggest motivation is making sure people remember Nicola and remember what sort of person she was."
The money raised will go to the charities Care of Police Survivors, the North West Police Benevolent Fund and Victim Support.
Bryn added: “I want to do something that Nicola would have been proud of me for and I also want to raise money for the three charities that have helped us so much during this time and will probably continue to help us for a great deal longer,"
Bryn’s next challenge is to run a marathon at the North Pole.

btw...I saw this fella at the Fest For All, in front of the stage while the band was playing. He's actually surrounded by people, and, although he looks rather sad-sack, seemed to be enjoying himself...just getting into the blues...*+^
“I remember my grandfather giving me 50p to go buy a bar of chocolate. Half an hour later he gave me another 50p, and another and another. He couldn’t remember that he’d given me the money each time so he went on doing it. My grandfather was a minister, part of the Methodist church of Ireland. I was quite close to him. So when I found out he had Alzheimer’s it really shook my faith.
He disappeared over a period of years. He’d get confused and he knew that he knew something but couldn’t quite recall it. He’d get agitated which would get me agitated. It really tested me, and I learnt incredible patience. Towards the end there was almost a sense of peace because he couldn’t remember anything, so he was no longer frustrating himself. One of the last times I saw him was at hospital. I was running late and all the family were already there. When I walked into the room he recognised me immediately and said my name. He hadn’t done that for years. It’s a nice memory to remember him by.”
You BETTER!!!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in with a Sunday Selfie...I may make this my weekly habit, and still do one every now and then during the week too.
Life has been pretty busy lately. Work is going well overall, we got a new manager at work who I think will be much better to work with than the guy we've had for the last year. The new guy is a bit more of a people person, and he seems to have a good deal of respect for those of us who have paid our dues and put in lots of time at the dealership.
Liina has been busy finishing up some of the wedding photos she did last month, so now I just need to convince her to put some up or let me put them up for her. We are currently working on a website for her through Zenfolio, and I hope to have everything finished on it before she leaves to go see her mom in Europe in 2 weeks.
Speaking of that, I'll definitely be around a bit more during the first week of her trip, as I'll be taking "vacation" time at work and just chillin' out with the dogs & pets at home while she is gone. I should have plenty of time to take pics that week and I plan on doing some urban exploration shooting while I have the time off :)
Hope you guys are all having a great weekend, sorry if I haven't been around much, but I'll try to do some catching up soon :D

- Old face-up -
Do you guys remember this little pukifee icis? I used to own her but I sold her in January 2014 to a really nice friend who fell head over heels for her. The butterfly girl is named Tuva-Li and she's been very well taken care of, but as with loved belongings she's been so loved that her face-up started to crumble. So she sent her to me to redo it ^w^
I actually miss having an icis, she and a white skin bonnie is next on my wishlist!
This monument was seen in the distance in the Confederate Cannon shots. It was erected at the site of the Union line facing the Confederate line off in the woods and the famously doomed Pickett's Charge.
Okay, I am incredibly irritated with my laptop. Everytime I try & transfer photos onto my laptop it just freezes & then crashes. So I've given up. My new laptop should arrive next week, so I'll have a mammoth catch up then. Oh & my brother's going into hospital next week & I've booked some time off next week so I'm only working 2 days, & I was planning to experience some of this sunshine everyone's been raving about, & it turns out it's going to be rainy. I've had one freaking day of sunshine!!
Okay. The movie Remember Me. Don't read if you haven't seen it & plan on it.
Some of the critics weren't that nice about it because of the ending, which I think is a little silly. It illustrated perfectly how lives were interrupted. I actually read one review which said the movie should just get on with the love story? That wasn't the point! Do you think that people who died that day weren't involved in their own love stories? Didn't the movie just highlight how you suddenly everything can end? & that you should appreciate life - & yet in most circumstances don't? It was beautiful really. I don't understand how critics can say it was disrespectful. I'm not American, but we had a similar terrorist attack with the bus & tube attacks, & if the film had been set in England instead & he'd died because of the tube attacks I wouldn't think it was any less good.
Oh & they also said they didn't understand why Tyler was so angry. Obviously they seem to have forgotten their teenage years & anything horrific that they went through. I could totally relate, & I bet tons of others could too.
People put way too much store in critics opinion. Someone on IMdB was going nuts about how people must listen to critics. Weirdo.
I cried at the end of the film. Hugh said he considered it put told himself to stop being a wuss. My Mom said she can't cry in public. Whereas I definitely don't have that problem.
& I'm determined not to be political on here, but:
1) Of course Clegg came out well during the debate - nobody knew anything about him. & hearing people on the radio saying he was impressive? Did you not hear how often he repeated Cameron? & just stood there saying the other 2 parties had messed up the country over the last few decades - well that's easy to say when your party is a joke! Grr.
2) This is going to sound awful. But the next person who tells me Brown has suffered more than Cameron because he lost a child AND an eye I will have to hit. Cameron's child was 6 years old when he died. The Browns had a stillbirth. Both awful, but different. & the eye thing does not freaking count.
3) I want to strangle Eddie Izzard.
But anyway, that's just some of my opinions on things.
The Golden Gate Bridge: a beautiful man-made structure admired by countless numbers of people.
I found this amazing and slightly secluded location where not too many people go. This picture was meant to be uploaded a lot earlier, but I never got around to it until now.
Final image from the series "More Than Skin Deep" for the Body Altar Show.
More Than Skin Deep is a series I did about the people behind the tattoos, and more specifically, why they each decided to carry a permanent mark on their precious canvas. The title of each piece recalls my discussions with them regarding their vast reasoning. Shot with a Polaroid EE100 Special on Fuji pack film, the emulsion was boiled off the backing and applied to the canvas to give each piece more of a living feel. Shooting in an environment without Command +Z, and hand creating one of a kind pieces without the convenience of negatives to duplicate endlessly, allows the medium to replicate the subject matter.
These were shot on a Polaroid EE Special camera with Fuji pack film. The images were then boiled off the paper backing and glued via a mixture of tacky glue and water to 5x7 pre stretched canvases. I toyed with affixing the photo both after it had dried and still wet and found the dried version worked a bit better while the wet was more prone to air bubbles. Once dry, the photographs were rubbed with different colors of acrylic paint, especially visible were the glue residue picked it up. Once that was dry, I used duct tape and newspaper to protect the fronts and spray painted the sidesusing complimentary colors to what was found in the picture.
Here is info on the show they will be in (and for sale at $80 each):
