Newport, Rhode Island gained a reputation as a playground for the rich and is home to some of the most impressive mansions from America's gilded age, but the area has always been home to a working maritime industry, as well, with a rich nautical history. Castle Hill Light is small at only 34', and far from opulent, but it performs its duty with the steadfast resolve of a New England waterman, regardless of the conditions.
Remotely located at the end of Ocean Drive, this granite guardian is an active navigation aid for all vessels entering the East Passage of Narragansett Bay between Conanicut Island (seen in the background) and Aquidneck Island.

Hello amazing Flickr People !!
Today is a blue day at Color my World daily Group et eyes are the theme at the fabulous Looking close on Friday Group.
So I had to find a volunteer with blue eyes… And guess what ? My son Antoni has a perfect set of blue eyes, which he inherited from his Mom’s side (that is me ! My eyes are blue but not as perfect as my son’s !!). After bribing him with additional screen time and a few $$ he generously accepted to be my model for this photoshoot. Of course, he had conditions of his own… The photoshoot had to be 15 minutes max (unlimited pictures), no TikTok (N!E!V!E!R!!!! that is him screaming … apparently he hates TikTok….and his brother too !!), no tagging on Instagram or Facebook. And none of his friends will ever know about this photoshoot (apparently he has a reputation to take care of and taking pictures with his Mom isn’t exactly a cool activity for achieving « fame » as a teenager).
So here is my picture from a 15 minutes photoshoot with my teenager son.
I will try to catch up as soon as possible with your comments and Photostreams but since I’m officially on vacation with my sons my activity on Flickr will be rather slow for the next few day. I apologize for that. Have a beautiful day my friends.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

In the hamlet is made the practice of trekking, by a route well known for its beauty as for its spectacular views through the descent of its ravine, until arriving at the beach.
Clover's reputation has waxed and waned over the last century. Once considered a sign of a well-managed lawn, clover came to be considered a weed only after broadleaf herbicides hit the market.Today, gardeners are growing wise to the plant's many benefits. They plant clover to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, and promote a healthy lawn.

The reputation of this “resistance nest”, situated in Colleville, stems from the fact that the US landing forces suffered enormous losses as a result of the defensive fire of this strongpoint.
I fall in love when I clapped my eyes with this cool wall mural street art.
One can certainly say, that these Street Artists, know how to brighten up any old buildings, with their fantastic colourful fantasy artwork!
I really enjoyed walking around the streets of Manchester, with its pleasant atmosphere and its reputation of being cool... Which it certainly is!
Cheers and thanks for cool compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!

A friend of a friend gave me this hat today. She had bought it for her dog but it turned out that the dog hated the hat. Fynn has a certain reputation as a cooperative photo model and she thought that he might like it more (he doesn't). Cleo would look great with the Halloween hat but it's likely that I would have to visit a plastic surgeon if I ever tried to put it onto her head. Surprisingly Linus was more cooperative than Fynn, probably because this was something new. Maybe I should have waited for a day with better light as I doubt that Linus will give me another chance. :)
The Common Merganser has a reputation for being a very hardy waterfowl member and will as long as the water stays open, winter further north than most other waterbirds and tend to prefer a habitat of freshwater versus saltwater.
Their breeding territory ranges across most of our northern forests from Alaska to Newfoundland. They tend to be a quiet species unless disturbed or when they are active in their courtship period. Sometimes they are cavity nesters, sometimes they use man-made nesting boxes and sometimes they nest on the ground where a clutch can contain anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
They are one of the more socialites of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on open lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their flock.

The reputation of this lens is rather mixed and, frequently, a lack of sharpness has been highlighted. It is true to say that, among the many primes Fuji has produced for its x-mount cameras, this one is generally more on the average side. However, if you treat it well, it will produce the goods. And, for a wide-angle lens, this one is very light and portable. A walker in the field, Kensworth, Bedfordshire.

- Ø (diameter) of this garlic bulb: 5 cm
- Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, Allium. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive and Chinese onion.
Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. China produces some 80% of the world supply of garlic.
The garlic plant's bulb is the most commonly used part of the plant. Garlic bulbs are normally divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. Garlic cloves are used for consumption (raw or cooked) or for medicinal purposes. They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
In folklore, garlic has been regarded as a force for both good and evil. In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic, perhaps owing to its reputation in folk medicine. Central European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against demons, werewolves, and vampires. To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows, or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.

Pebbles Tavern in Watchet is one of the best rated pubs in Somerset and is probably the best place to find Somerset's most famous export, cider, and lots of it.
It's been under the capable care of manager Dean Manley for the last six years, and he is as big a fan of cider and decent beer as he is good music.
The pub has a secondary reputation for bringing decent and exciting bands to west Somerset, mostly focused on jazz, swing and bluegrass.

Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring and summer, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
This includes my "Nahema" rose in my rear garden which grows by my back terrace. My garden is quite shady, but it does live in a spot where it gets afternoon sun. We have had a few sunny and warm days the last week or so, so it has finally started blooming! This is my first flower for summer!
"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.
Sparrowhawk - (M) Accipiter Nisus
Double click to view
Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 g (18 oz) or more.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk is found throughout the temperate and subtropical parts of the Old World; while birds from the northern parts of the range migrate south for winter, their southern counterparts remain resident or make dispersive movements. Eurasian sparrowhawks breed in suitable woodland of any type, with the nest, measuring up to 60 cm (2.0 ft) across, built using twigs in a tree. Four or five pale blue, brown-spotted eggs are laid; the success of the breeding attempt is dependent on the female maintaining a high weight while the male brings her food. The chicks hatch after 33 days and fledge after 24 to 28 days.
The probability of a juvenile surviving its first year is 34%, with 69% of adults surviving from one year to the next. Mortality in young males is greater than that of young females and the typical lifespan is four years. This species is now one of the most common birds of prey in Europe, although the population crashed after the Second World War. Organochlorine insecticides used to treat seeds before sowing built up in the bird population, and the concentrations in Eurasian sparrowhawks were enough to kill some outright and incapacitate others; affected birds laid eggs with fragile shells which broke during incubation. However, its population recovered after the chemicals were banned, and it is now relatively common, classified as being of Least Concern by BirdLife International.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk's hunting behaviour has brought it into conflict with humans for hundreds of years, particularly racing pigeon owners and people rearing poultry and gamebirds. It has also been blamed for decreases in passerine populations. The increase in population of the Eurasian Sparrowhawk coincides with the decline in House Sparrows in Britain. Studies of racing pigeon deaths found that Eurasian sparrowhawks were responsible for less than 1%. Falconers have utilised the Eurasian sparrowhawk since at least the 16th century; although the species has a reputation for being difficult to train, it is also praised for its courage. The species features in Teutonic mythology and is mentioned in works by writers including William Shakespeare, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Ted Hughes.
Male Eurasian sparrowhawks regularly kill birds weighing up to 40 g (1.4 oz) and sometimes up to 120 g (4.2 oz); females can tackle prey up to 500 g (18 oz) or more. The weight of food consumed by adult birds daily is estimated to be 40–50 g (1.4–1.8 oz) for males and 50–70 g (1.8–2.5 oz) for females. During one year, a pair of Eurasian sparrowhawks could take 2,200 house sparrows, 600 common blackbirds or 110 wood pigeons. Species that feed in the open, far from cover, or are conspicuous by their behaviour or coloration, are taken more often by Eurasian sparrowhawks. For example, great tits and house sparrows are vulnerable to attack. Eurasian sparrowhawks may account for more than 50% of deaths in certain species, but the extent varies from area to area.
Males tend to take tits, finches, sparrows and buntings; females often take thrushes and starlings. Larger quarry (such as doves and magpies) may not die immediately but succumb during feather plucking and eating. More than 120 bird species have been recorded as prey and individual Eurasian sparrowhawks may specialise in certain prey. The birds taken are usually adults or fledglings, though chicks in the nest and carrion are sometimes eaten. Small mammals, including bats, are sometimes caught but insects are eaten only very rarely.

This full-sized hummingbird can be found in various parts of Central America as well as upper South America. I only found this species in one of spot in Honduras--Pico Bonito in the east of that country. Funny how a particular hummingbird will dominate in a particular area.
I'm not sure how this bird gained the moniker 'Jacobin' instead of the simpler White-necked Hummingbird. Students of history will remember, though, that the Jacobins were radicals that sprang up following the French Revolution and formed the Reign of Terror along with Robespierre.
The White-necked Jacobin has a reputation as a brawler and a bully that will aggressively chase off other hummingbirds, even female WNJ's. The female of this species will even form the appearance of the males to protect itself from aggression.
Building work got underway in 1201. Eight centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. Even the monks’ fishpond is still full of water!
From its cloister to chapter house, with striking rib-vaulted roof, this abbey was shaped by the devout nature of its inhabitants. The abbey was also remarkably self-sufficient thanks to the lay brethren. They were happy to leave the choir monks to their prayers while they got on with the job of tending the land. All friends together? Not quite. The monks observed their daily offices in the choir, separated by a screen from the lay brethren who worshipped in the nave of the abbey church.
Far from an easy life, Valle Crucis Abbey suffered a serious fire and numerous attacks but went on to earn a reputation for its appreciation of the literary arts. In 1535 it was ranked the second richest Cistercian monastery after Tintern. By this time, the Cistercians had relaxed their orthodox austerity. A comfortable heated suite was created for the abbot. This new found wealth and hospitality didn’t last long. Valle Crucis was duly dissolved by royal decree in 1537.

Fig… No, it really is tasty :)
Figs have a fearsome reputation as a natural laxative. It’s unwarranted I think, at least for fresh figs, which taste delicious and are no worse than other seeded or stoned fruit.
Needless to say this image was rejected by the fig marketing board. Shame really.
I took it for this week’s Macro Mondays group’s theme Remedy.
I’ve been eating figs from our tree all summer and have often felt that they would make interesting photographic subjects. So this one is not much of a remedy, more of an excuse to have a play with the camera.
And a tease of course. How could I resist? I nearly titled it Death’s Maw, but thought most people probably had enough imagination already :)
The image is about 2 centimetres across.
And they are tasty if you have never tried one. Fear not: you get to eat it in the last chapter.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image in some strange way… perhaps I shall hope in vain! Happy Macro Mondays :)

Cattle Egrets are pretty aggressive and they are relatively recent arrivals to North America so they don’t always have the best reputation with birders. I don’t know how much of their reputation is deserved and how much isn’t but I know I sure find them to be beautiful, especially during breeding season.

Sometimes they are cavity nesters using man-made nesting boxes and sometimes nest on the ground. A nest can contain a clutch of anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs.
Their elongated bodies make it much easier for them to tote their young on their backs while swimming.
They are one of the more social of waterfowl and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and will accept other species of diving ducks within their own flocks.
This species is our most widespread and abundant merganser and is often referred to as a "Fish Duck".

La mauvaise réputation (Georges Brassens)
The Bad Reputation (Georges Brassens)
In a village without pretention
I have a bad reputation
Whether i bother or stay quiet
I pass for an I-dont-know-what!
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path of the little guy.
But the brave people do not like
others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone talks trash about me,
Except the mutes, that goes without saying.
On Bastille Day
I stay in my cozy bed.
The music that marches on,
Does not concern me.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyoneBy not listening to the Bugle that sounds.
But the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
No, the brave people do not like,
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone points at me
Except the people with no arms, that goes without saying.
When I cross an unlucky thief
Chased by a hick
I throw the leg, and why keep it quiet,
The hick finds himself on the ground.
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By letting run the thieves of apples.
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone rushes at me
Except those without legs, that goes without saying.
No need to be Jeremiah
To guess what fate is promised me
If they find a rope to their liking
They will put it around my neck
Nevertheless, I don't harm anyone
By following the path that leads to Rome
But the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them,
No, the brave people do not like
Others to follow another path than them.
Everyone will come to see me hung
Except the blind, of course!
I have a reputation for loosing my gloves and hats (and sometimes umbrellas, too, if I ever use one) at a regular basis ... usually on the streetcar / tram, on the mountains or somewhere else out and about taking photos
... I don't mind wearing odd / different gloves (and socks) though, so I don't throw away the single ones ; ))
And there are actually columns dedicated to all the lonely gloves out there on "out of frame" (a student-edited platform for all things untold, unseen and forgotten, so they say):

Crazy Tuesday - theme of February 22, 2022: Single
Squirrels often have a bad reputation as being a nuisance in gardens and campsites. However, they are smart survivors and I am taking lessons from them this winter. It looks like restrictions are going to get tighter in our province so today I am going to stock up on essentials to survive harsher winter weather and possible empty shelves at the grocery stores again. Nuts are something I love to eat and now that I am home more, I don’t need to worry about nut allergies! So I will squirrel away a good supply of those for the winter. I’ll try to get creative with lentils and chickpeas, too. If we find out that supplies are getting even more scarce by spring, I can always dig up my tulip bulbs and eat those. My parents did that during the war. Some fancy restaurants offer special tulip based recipes in the spring that you pay a premium price for! Yup, it’s not a bad idea to take some lessons from the squirrel. 😉
I don't give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past; it's a new generation
And a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
– The Hit Girls, Bad Reputation
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

MARRAKESH
The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια που παραθερίζουμε οικογενειακώς στο Λεφόκαστρο του Ν.Πηλίου είχα την ευκαιρία να επισκεφτώ όλα τα γύρω κοντινά και πιο απομακρυσμένα χωριά.
Την εντονότερη εντύπωση μου προξένησε ο Λαύκος, ένα χωριό που δεν συγκαταλέγεται σ’αυτό που θα λέγαμε «κράχτες»,με ιδιαίτερη τουριστική φήμη δηλαδή.
Δεν είναι παραλιακό(το επίνειό του είναι η πολύ γνωστή Μηλίνα),δεν είναι το κλασσικό ορεινό ούτε διαθέτει την οικιστική συνοχή των ξακουστών παραδοσιακών οικισμών του Πηλίου.
Τι είναι,επομένως,το στοιχείο που ασκεί τόση γοητεία στον επισκέπτη του;
Κατά την άποψή μου πρόκειται για την αγάπη των κατοίκων του προς τον τόπο τους η οποία διαχέεται σε κάθε του γωνιά:Σπίτια φροντισμένα(αρχοντικά,λαϊκά,με νεοκλασσικές επιρροές)όχι για τουριστική εκμετάλλευση(υπάρχουν και τέτοια) αλλά κυρίως χτισμένα με και από το προσωπικό μεράκι των πιστών κατοίκων της που δεν τα ερήμωσε η κρίση και η ευκαιριακή χρήση.
Όλα διαφορετικά μεταξύ τους με μόνο συνεκτικό στοιχείο την προσωπική σφραγίδα του μόνιμου ιδιοκτήτη τους.
Γι αυτό και το χωριό σφύζει από ζωή.Οι κάτοικοί του έχουν επίγνωση,σέβονται,εκτιμούν και συνεχίζουν την πλούσια πολιτιστική κληρονομιά τους όχι για το τουριστικό «θεαθήναι» αλλά διότι έτσι έμαθαν να ζούν.
Αποτελεί το ιδανικό μέρος για χαλαρή βολτούλα και περιήγηση στα λιθόστρωτα καλντερίμια του απ’άκρου εις άκρον.
Φρέσκο αεράκι( στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος δεν χωρούν αυτοκίνητα),αξιοθαύμαστη αρχιτεκτονική,ανθισμένες αυλές,πράσινο παντού και ζωντανή πολιτιστική παράδοση σε κερδίζουν δημιουργώντας την ανάγκη της εκεί επιστροφής.
Το χωριό κτίστηκε μεταξύ 15ου και 16ου αιώνα, από τον καπετάνιο Στέργιο Μπασδέκη. Γνώρισε στιγμές μεγάλης οικονομικής άνθισης στα χρόνια της Τουρκοκρατίας ενώ μεγάλη είναι και η παράδοσή του στις τέχνες και τα γράμματα.
Ιδιαίτερη μνεία πρέπει να γίνει για:
-Το Φάμπειο Μουσείο Λειτουργεί στο παλιό κτήριο του σχολείου.Στο προαύλιο θα θαυμάσετε εξαίρετα γλυπτά από λευκό πηλιορείτικο μάρμαρο του ντόπιου ζωγράφου και γλύπτη Θανάση Φάμπα ,στο εσωτερικό του πίνακες του ιδίου ενώ στο ισόγειο στεγάζεται το λαογραφικό μουσείο του συλλόγου «Δράση».
-Το καφενείο-αξιοθέατο του Εμμανουήλ Φορλίδα.Πρόκειται για το αρχαιότερο καφενείο της Ελλάδος το οποίο λειτουργεί αδιαλείπτως από το 1785!!! Την εποχή που ο επάνω όροφος λειτουργούσε ως χάνι, είχε φιλοξενήσει τον Παπαδιαμάντη ντυμένο καλογερόπαιδο, αλλά και τον Βάρναλη όταν ήταν λυκειάρχης στη γειτονική Αργαλαστή.
- το Μουσείο Ραδιοφώνου «Αντώνης Ταβάνης» που πήρε το όνομά του από τον αείμνηστο γλύπτη, ο οποίος λάτρεψε τον Λαύκο κι έζησε εκεί τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του, με τη συλλογή που δώρισε ο Γερμανός Βίλφρεντ Σεπς.
- τις «Μέρες Κιθάρας» Πρόκειται για καλλιτεχνικές εκδηλώσεις που διοργανώνονται κάθε καλοκαίρι και στις οποίες γίνονται σεμινάρια και συναυλίες κλασσικής κιθάρας, ενώ προσκεκλημένοι είναι πολλοί κιθαρίστες και συνθέτες παγκοσμίου φήμης αφού εκλεκτό τέκνο του Λαύκου είναι και ο αντιστοίχου ακτινοβολίας κιθαρίστας Δημήτρης Φάμπας.
Ζητώ συγγνώμη αν κούρασα με τις πολλές αναρτήσεις και την συνοδευτική παρουσίαση αλλά ένιωθα την ανάγκη να μοιραστώ μαζί σας τον αξιολογότατο αυτό τόπο!
The last years to put aside family in Lefokastro of S.Pelion I had the opportunity to visit all the surrounding close and more outlying villages.
The strongest impression I caused Lafkos, a village that is not included in what we would say 'decoys', with particular touristic reputation is.
There are beachfront (the seaport is very famous Milina), not the classic mountain nor has the urban coherence of famous traditional villages of Pelion.
What is therefore the element that carries so much charm to the visitor?
In my opinion this is the love of the people to the place of which pervades every corner: Houses cared (mansions, folk, with neo-classical influences) not for tourist exploitation (there are such) but mainly built with and by personal taste of the inhabitants of the faithful who have not deserted the crisis and occasional use.
All different from each other by only cohesive element the personal stamp of the permanent owner.
That's why the village bustles life. residents are aware, respect, appreciate and continue their rich cultural heritage not for tourist "show" but because that learned to live.
It is the ideal place for relaxed voltoula and browsing the cobbled streets of ap'akrou to end.
Fresh breeze (for the most part not fit cars), admirable architecture, flowered courtyards, green everywhere and vibrant culture to earn creating the need to return there.

The reputation of this lens is rather mixed and, frequently, a lack of sharpness has been highlighted. It is true to say that, among the many primes Fuji has produced for its x-mount cameras, this one is generally more on the average side. However, if you treat it well, it will produce the goods. And, for a wide-angle lens, this one is very light and portable. Mary the Virgin, Kensworth, Bedfordshire.
