Misty look, kinda dazzled and dreamlike, over the leaves sprouting from the intangible twig of a certain articulate squareness, eyes tense with suspicion although not quite lacking some self-assured impertinence. a slash of enlightened straightforwardness like a poisoned arrow dashing towards the tightlipped explosion of the next instant.

Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
*NEW* Metroline DEL2245 at North Brentford Quarter on route 235 on the first day of operation by Metroline.
DEL2245 was kindly blinded for route 237 to Shepherd's Bush Green. Very annoyingly when this blind returned from the printers, the apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush [Green] that I made sure was included for the order, was omitted somewhere during the production phase!
I once read a Terry Pratchett book where one of his characters was able to start spelling "banana", but couldn't stop. "Banananananaanananana..." Tamanawas is like that for me. It's easy to start spelling it, but where do you stop?
My mom and I took a summer hike up to this amazing waterfall in September, and I realized recently that I've never posted any pictures from that trip (except one from Cold Spring Creek, which I like very much). I love the base and how the greens glow so beautifully. The edges are intentionally dark to put the focus on the main stream.

Last fall, my coworkers and I did a promo shot for our Facebook page by spelling out MWO (Mount Washington Observatory) at sunset.
They’re never too young to learn how to spell. Today’s word is “California”!
This Middie Blythe doll is Lena Elena, joined by two Petites for “Back to School” on Facebook. This classroom is one of the rooms in our Madeline Pop-up Dollhouse. The map of California on the wall is actually a postcard…a WOODEN postcard, if you can believe it! It was sent to us by our friend Katherine who lives in California.
I love taking pictures of squirrels--they have so many cute expressions---I got several shots of them yesterday--but I promise not to post all of them :-) ENJOY THE DAY---THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS!

Stranger #118’s portrait was a pane….literally (spelling correct).
I was at the Cleveland Museum of Art walking through a glass encased corridor from one section of the building to another. Looking out the window, I saw Stranger #118 across a small courtyard and herself inside of a glass encased gallery of sculptures. It was her hat that initially grabbed my attention, but through the multiple glass barriers I thought she looked like a potentially compelling subject. The first challenge was to find her. I had to make my way through a maze of an ancient Asian gallery before I finally found the entrance to the secret sculpture gallery.
Along with my potential model, there was one other woman in the room (who I thought might be with her although I was not certain) and a museum worker. The museum worker concerned me as there was no discreet way to approach a stranger in this relatively small echo chamber. I feared he might take issue with turning the gallery into an impromptu portrait studio, so I decided to bide my time and hope that the worker exited the room before my stranger. It was my lucky day. About two minutes later he casually strolled out leaving me alone with the ladies.
I wasted no time and made my approach. My inclination was correct…the two ladies were together. The other woman was my stranger’s mother. This made for a little bit of a new (and slightly awkward) situation for me, but it turned out that I think the mother was more intrigued by my project than my model. Her name was Maya, and although I had eyed her up through the refraction of several layers of glass, now that I was face to face with her I could see that as a stranger model she was all that I could have hoped for. Everyone was on board for the portrait and we still had this unique room to ourselves, so we got straight to work.
There was a slight temptation to incorporate the sculptures into the portrait (they were ancient Indian works). If I had time to think about a composition I am sure I could have dreamed up something cool and unique, but working on the fly I was concerned that a sculpture might appear to be a forced and out-of-place prop. So instead, I decided to simply incorporate all of the glass walls that were already integral to this encounter. We went to the corner of the gallery, and I positioned Maya so that not only was she backed by the glass walls of our gallery, but also behind that was the glass corridor from which I had initially spied her. I thought the vertical lines from the seams between the myriad of glass panels would make for a decent backdrop. What I did not anticipate was the fantastic turquoise color. It did not appear particularly blue when we were standing there. I did do some minor tweaking of the cyan levels in pp, but clearly my camera sensor was picking up color through all of that refracted glass that we could not see with our eyes. What a pleasant surprise.

Remarkable 16th century botanical calligraphic artwork by two masters of the past: Georg Bocskay (1510–1575), court secretary to Ferdinand I, and Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601). First created by Georg Bocskay to demonstrated the different styles of calligraphy of the era, the book was later ornamented with intricate fruits, flowers, and insects by Joris Hoefnagel and commissioned by Emperor Rudolph II, Ferdinand’s grandson. This unusual artistic collaboration between scribe and painter disrupted the history of manuscript illumination and gave us one of the most fascinating and beautifully crafted manuscripts of all time.

Spells might be within a word's spelling
If words could be used for spells whether they are dependable or bad?
If letters can't get the right spelling you could use a wise leap and misspell it
