Lance Cpl. Richard Munoz, a rifleman with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, provides security during an operation in Qul'ah Zer, Helmand province, Afghanistan, Dec. 20, 2013. The purpose of the operation was to disrupt enemy activity in the area.

Originally the Black bird was perched on the camera and I thought how it`s a bit ironic as we`re all being watched somehow and someway all the time.
Birds always have to be on the lookout for predators and food and these security cameras are always on the lookout for the mischief and mayhem that us humans have the potential to cause.
Then I thought to myself after uploading this picture what laws and by laws I may have violated just by photographing the camera.?
After I snapped a few pics of the bird perched on the camera it decided to spread it`s wings and take off resulting in this picture.

Lebanon has suffered from a civil war and a subsequent war with Israel. The latter ended with a cease fire, much like the Korean War, and technically the two countries are still at war. There are occasional skirmishes. The downtown area of Beirut, once a scene of heavy fighting, is adorned with police fortified posts. From these protected positions, the police could maintain control from a protected position and return fire when needed. These structures exist to this day and are maintained in the event they are again needed. The first picture, top left, shows a buidling riddled by gunfire. The 2nd photo shows a heavily armed Lebanese police officer. They are, in a word, everwhere. The security presence is both stifling and yet reassuring. The next 3 shots depict the various styles of fortified positions. The lower left show an armored vehicle. These are deployed all over Beirut and in the outlying areas as well. They are visible in sensitive spots. They are also amassed in numbers just off the main streets for rapid deployment. The bottom right shows a police checkpoint, complete with several reinforced positions and the customary concertina wire. This checkpoint is near the town of Baalbeck, which is the home of UNESCO ruins, as well as a Palestinian refugee camp, the latter being a Hezbollah stronghold. It is an area with tremendous potential, great people, and yet lingering regional tensions that can't seem to be resolved.

I bought that wonderful ceramic bear today. He was sculpted by Finnish ceramic artist Viljo Heinonen in 1955.
Genetics is something incredible. When I was a kid I used to suck my thumb, and naturally I also had my “security blank”. Today we are struggling to have my older daughter quit sucking HER thumb!!! This is my daughter security blank. She calls it “Pulee”. Don’t know why, but she starting calling it this since she learned her first words. Unfortunately I don’t think I had a name for mine… ;-)
