For those of you who don't know the story of Christmas the rescued Eastern Rosella you can read it HERE
Christmas is still living with my colleague and doing quite well!
“...Life is like a Carousel:
Sometimes you’re up
and sometimes you’re down,
and sometimes you just go round and round.
Just remember to enjoy the ride..."
"During the times you feel most alone, we want you to remember this: we held you & loved you from the moment you came into this world & that’s how it’s always been for us & if you forget, we are here to remind you as many times as you need."

I would imagine (and hope) that many, many people will be stopping today to remember the horrific events of 11th September 2001. So many mental images that will never, ever leave our minds and hearts. People from so many different countries, not just the US. So many stories of loss and heartbreak - and so many stories of bravery and heroic actions. Remembering .... all those who lost their lives on that fateful day: all those who lost loved ones and close friends or fellow workers; all those who rushed in to "do their job" or "to help others" in any way they could. Remembering .... all those who were severely injured on that fateful day and who have bravely suffered every day since then; all those Firemen, Emergency Medical people, Police - men and women, who have suffered and continue to suffer emotionally and physically, including illnesses caused by being exposed to harmful chemicals. The list goes on and on. Remembering ... and praying that we never see another day like September 11th, 2001.

Galle Fort, in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portugese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 423 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka.
The fort has a colourful history, the Sri Lankan government and many Dutch people who still own some of the properties inside the fort are looking at making this one of the modern wonders of the world. The heritage value of the fort has been recognized by the UNESCO and the site has been inscribed as a cultural heritage UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique exposition of "an urban ensemble” which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
The Galle Fort, also known as the Dutch Fort or the "Ramparts of Galle", withstood the Boxing Day Tsunami which damaged part of coastal area of Galle city. It has been since restored. The Galle Fort also houses the elite Amangalla resort hotel, located near the Dutch Reformed Church. It was originally built in 1684 to house the Dutch Governor and his staff. It was then converted into a hotel and named then as the New Oriental Hotel in 1865, which catered to the European passengers traveling between Europe and Galle Port in the 19th century.

During the holiday season, nostalgic reminiscences usually include mounds of fluffy white snow.
All the best this year!

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
°° Words to the Picture °°
Up to 40cm of new snow fell all over Switzerland yesterday. On normal conditions, it’s a 20 minute drive home, but the time tripled with yesterday’s snowfall. When this happens, i always long for those warm summer days, to give me a warm feeling inside. Hope you get the same feeling too ..
Well, i’ll be going to the Philippines (again) on December 22, so i’ll be having that warm feeling not only inside, but outside too.
EXPLORED! December 2, 2010 (Highest Rank #170). Again, a heartful thanks to everybody who commented, faved and most of all viewed this picture.

The We're Here! gang is looking for saints today. If you were around in 1962-69, you might remember Roger Moore as Simon Templar in the the U.S. adventure series The Saint.

Wakering Photography Group Spring Photo Marathon 2022.
Six images in Five hours on Six given topics.
Category 1 :- Remember When (National Retro Day).
The group met up at 10.00 am Sunday 27th February 2022 at Morleys Nursery Tea Room Great Wakering to register their empty camera card for the challenge, the categories were given at that time.
1/ Remember When…National Retro Day.
2/ Something Sweet.
3/ Fluffy.
4/ Balanced.
5/ Yellow.
6/ Reflections
All images had to be in Jpeg, No Post Processing, just one image per category, we had to return to our groups meeting place, the Great Wakering Royal British Legion Club by 3.00 pm.
The images were downloaded to our club laptop and were stored for judging by three independent judges, the results will be declared at our Photography Group meeting Monday 11th April 2022.
Around 1958 this Vista 3D screen was a Weetabix promotion, you had to cut the voucher from the cereal box and send it off in the post.
The cards were then added to the subsequent cereal boxes, these cards and viewers can still be found on on the usual internet sites.
Needless to say this is a cherished family artefact, my Grandchildren still love to look at the images today.
I am delighted to say this was voted in 1st place in this category.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen our Photography Group Secretary and Organiser for all her hard work time and effort in running a fabulous set of challenges.
Like the night embrace the strange and lonely
Bring me shelter in the dark
It don't matter if the sun stops shining
It might save me from what's real
Save me from what's real

My good friend Bill from college gave me this plant as a host gift when he came back to visit. Sadly, Bill died of ALS many years ago but I still have this plant. It's leaves may get brown and spotted but I think of him whenever I water and care for it.
Had to do quite a bit of salvage work on this as the entire foreground was taken up by a lovely blue streak as a cast member strolled by with his blue flash light waving just as I was going for the shot. This shot was taken right at the begining of the Star Tours section, right after the loading sequence sound track as the first strains of the Star Wars theme are heard.
It's interesting to note that it wasn't just the cast member in the shot. The entire foreground was flooded with people coming and going as Disney opens up the front of the viewing area as a walkway on crowded nights DURING the fireworks. Kind of bummer, but necessary as 50,000 some odd people try to navigate their way from Tomorrowland over to Frontierland. Usually, all of the people disappear with the long shutter speeds, but those darn flash lights are there for eternity. Or until photoshopped out. Shot with the Sigma 10-20
To all those poor souls from every nation who suffered and died in the trenches of the first world war. So that we shall always remember.
From November 11 (UK rememberance day, Armistice de la Première Guerre mondiale in France) to November 19 (German Volkstrauertag), this week is dedicated to remembering the dead of the First World War. I’ll try doing a photographic equivalent showing places of commemoration to the dead of the great war from 1914 to 1918 from the Württemberg region I live. Though monuments here are naturally dedicated to German soldiers, we should commemorate the dead of every nation that fought the great war.
