My dad loved every holiday that had to do with this great country of ours - actually, he loved it even if not a holiday. He flew his flag daily - as do I. We even brought it to our temporary housing to fly here. I will forever remember what my dad taught me about country and faith. I remember his service as he retired from the Army - as well as all that have served for our freedom.
He would love this pic - my daughter Melissa took it in front of our municiple building and I played with textures quite a while ago - been saving it for Memorial Day.
Explored - thanks to you all!!

My dad also loved this song by Irving Berlin:
"God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home."
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "
"God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home."

Something slightly diffrent now. Taken from.. a bus-stop looking down at a strip of land behind the allotment. I often walk my doggie here. All what is left from the beautiful meadows and fields I was brought up among. There is a huge motorway-type raod and block of flats there now :(
Wishing you a lovely weekend!!

Pull a feather from the nest
Fasten it to your chest
Shoot yourself up to me
Cut through the gravity
You don't have to be scared
Contained in the air
You would like it here i know
You have to let go
i am the sun
the only one
I'll pull you to me
The moon and the sea
When the oxygen comes
And blows it all clean
Remember to breathe
Remember to breathe
And we are the ones
With the parts and the motion
We fill up the sky
And we burn with devotion
When our bodies are done
And hard times are over
Remember to breathe
Remember to breathe

One of the few Prince Castle building's left. This one is in Ottawa Illinois at 673 W. Main St..
Younger folks don’t remember a time when there was a place where ice cream cones were a square deal, and so was a meal – a burger for a dime? You bet.
But ask an older generation and they’ll recall fondly the days of the distinctive scoops atop a cone, the “One-in-a-Million” malts, and Steakburgers, all under one small roof that looked more like a castle than a fast food restaurant. Digging into an ice-cold creamy treat was a special occasion for generations of kids in town, and their parents, too. For some it was a daily ritual. Twin Cities’ ice cream lovers have Earl Prince to thank for that – two Earl Princes, in fact, father and son.
In addition to serving food, Prince Castles also manufactured its own line of ice cream equipment; namely, the square scoops and the Multimixer – a machine that proved to be the seed to the establishment of McDonald’s by a Multimixer salesman.
The elder Prince started the Prince Castles chain – officially Prince Ice Cream Castles – in DeKalb in 1928, and after just a couple of decades, more locations popped up throughout northern Illinois and Chicagoland. After he died in 1960, his son Earl took over the business and ran it for a couple of more decades until the 1980s. The younger Earl died Nov. 26, 2020, at 93.

It is 5 years today that my Dad's journey came to an end. What I wouldn't give to have even 5 minutes to talk with him, to tell him how much I love and miss him and to show him how hard I have tried to live my life with all the good he instilled in me. Love you pops.

Old school viewers might recognise this stripy little number from a few years back. ( alright alright.. 4 years ago! )
Since reliable sources have informed me that animal prints will be coming back this fall... I thought I might try this dress on again. :)
So yeah.. an older dress, but don't worry... I have quite a few new ones from recent shopping trips!
Oh.. btw.. the shoes *are* new! Which shoes do you think fit better? These or the red ones?
it looks like the summer's gone and we went straight from july to november.. i can feel my seasonal affectionate disease or whatever that's called coming back slowly :/
i'm not sure if that's all true, but i find it comforting to think that parts of it might be:
15 things to remember
1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't know even exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.
13. Always remember compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they're great.
i should clarify that i was not the one who came up with the list, i read it somewhere in someone's soup (do you guys know soup.io?) but it didn't give a source there either.
i just love it when i come across something that speaks right out of my heart and is worded so well, because i have trouble wording things right, so i wrote it down to share with you.
56103, 60022 and 66023 make up the front line of locomotives in this evening view of Margam TMD. There are at least 8 other Class 60's on the depot. Margam was a 2-road shed with full servicing facilities. Having been a major repair depot for EWS's class 60 and 66 locomotives due to its facilities, the depot serviced all of EWS's fleet of locomotives in South Wales, after the closure of Cardiff Canton TMD. In September 2008, all services moved to Margam Knuckle Yard and the depot was subsequently demolished. Taken circa 1998.

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.
Inscription reads: Nobody has had greater love, than those who died for their friends.
With August almost gone, I'm not ready to move on to Fall yet because it's a pretty short season here and then we have the long, long winter.. I still can't believe how fast Spring and Summer have flown by. Here's one of my favorite Spring images.

75 years ago, Nazis tried to set this Berlin synagogue on fire, like so many other Jewish places of worship, houses and businesses across Germany and Austria. The tragic event became known as Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, althought the term is actually belittling the magnitude of the horror. Lives were shattered, not just glass. 91 Jews were killed that day, many more were taken to camps or humiliated in the streets. Hence, we are mostly referring to the 1938 November pogroms today when we talk about that fateful night.
What happened here at Neue Synagoge in Berlin's Oranienburger Strasse on November 9 1939 was actually a ray of hope amid the darkness. A local policeman called the fire brigades after the attempt on the synagogue and insisted on them extinguishing the fire, as this was a listed building that needed to be saved.
Tragically, allied bombing in 1943 damaged the building badly.
Even more tragically, most of what remained was demolished by East Germany after neglecting the ruin for decades.
In 1993, at least the street facade with its wonderful cupola was refurbished, and Centrum Judaicum, a place of learning and rememberance was opened here.

I remember this day well. A trip up into the Teifi valley and ending at Patch near Cardigan. Five minutes after this image was taken the rain was coming down sideways. CA7 moored in the Teifi estuary at Patch near Gwbert.

When I took this photograph so many years ago if you had told me that the World Trade Center would be attacked and destroyed I would have never believed you. Please take time today to remember all those who lost their lives and those who are still suffering from this horrible tragedy. Why can't the people of the world just learn to live in peace…it's so much easier than fighting.
