Like a sword, a word can wound or kill, but as long as one does not touch the blade, the sword is no more than a smooth piece of metal. Someone who knows the qualities of a sword does not play with it, and someone who knows the nature of words does not play with them.

Subject is from back in the days when I did pre-dawn street photography in Chicago. A .32ACP caliber small "pocket" pistol (often used by police themselves as a backup pistol). Never had any occasion to remove it from my pocket. Stowed away in a safe these days. (Entire pistol 5 inches longest diagonal.) Weapon specifically created around the Winchester .32ACP hollow point cartridge which is its only approved ammunition. Cropped to under 3 inches. See companion photo for better perspective. www.flickr.com/gp/blackjackstone/ysEvp5
These spiny desert-dwelling plants can have a pretty nasty bite for those who come too close. There are hundreds of varieties of cacti and the spines they use as defense come in countless shapes and sizes. The red spines of the Peruvian Apple Cactus stand out against the green flesh of the cactus's arm.
The tip of this cactus's arm is not much larger than a half dollar. An extension tube was used to magnify the subject. This macro image allows you to see the unique and beautiful spines the Peruvian Apple Cactus uses as self-defense.

One of two UH-60Js presented by the Hyakuri section of the Air Rescue Wing during the base's 2019 open day. This example is preparing to take part in a SAR demo with one of the unit's U-125As.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" MM theme. Looking down the barrel of a snubnose .38 special revolver. All about the situation and intent I suppose. Weapon held in a vice before a black felt background. Less than 2 1/2 inches. Provocative by intent.
I waited almost two years for that beauty! I had already missed the previous flight test on my way to Ramstein (RMS) the day before..
But at least, i made it and the lightning conditions were perfect! I'm a bit sad about the Jumbo retirement but now that was bound to happen.

Training in the art of Krav Maga, self-defense is taught along with discipline. It helps teach self-confidence and camaraderie via this self-defense martial art class. Both of our grand-daughters are in this training program and apparently greatly enjoy it. They get a lot of aerobic exercise during their sessions.
That is one amazing airplane to see!! Here is a Kawasaki P-1 landing in Le Bourget 2 days before the opening of Paris Air Show!! We are lucky to have them come to Paris!!
So, as a 51 year old I thought I'd cut my running down from 4-5 times a week to twice a week and take up kickboxing in its place to keep my upper body strong. I purchased a freestanding man size punch bag on a stand and of course I had to have pink boxing gloves. I now spend 4 mornings a week kickboxing and I'm feeling fabulous after two weeks of this new sport. I do weights most days after my run but needed something different, I was born to run in the words of 'Springstein' but, I needed something tougher and more challenging especially with all the garden work I do.
Sadly I have had a few strange moments out running lately or walking Daisy. As a women this has made me feel uncomfortable and scared. I know I would be able to out run a bad person but probably not defend myself. I can now get stronger and learn a bit of self defence when I'm out running in lonely situations.
Funny old world sometimes.
Sadly Dog and Puppy theft is like a pandemic itself here in England, I only walk Daisy with another friend and her dogs or with my boys but, now I have two beauties to walk I need to know I can take care of them if I'm against a situation.
Here's to women's safety, staying strong and living a healthy life.
