but it is mainly the outcome of the need we have felt for making democracy such a good thing, like a scrubbed and shining schoolboy. Actually democracy partakes of the sweat and blood of the real world. It is grimy and dangerous and will never survive until it can learn to understand the ways of bullies and take its own part. I happen to care for it not because of any moral perfection it may have, but because it is by and large the best instrument I know for giving us the kind of world we want to live in :-)
Max Lerner, 1938
HFF!! Truth Matters!! Character Matters! Impeach the bully!

Even with an overcast day you can get flashes of light and colour. I found that it made the red even more rich vs. full direct light. This is one of my favourite shots from the adventure earlier today.

The little man bounds down the steps towards the front door, determined to make it to the bus stop on time for his first day back at school after the winter holidays…
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the always incredible Deco(c)rate!
From the crate:
MudHoney's Noelle Cone Trees, Candles, and Fireplace!
ARIA's Eirwen Sofa, Throw, Decorative Pillow, Decorative Stool, and Bud Vase!
llorisen's floor blanket!
CONVAIR's Snow Fort and Snow Man!
In addition, the little prince was inspired by HAIKEI's amazing Give Your Love Away Building!
Keep shining bright, my friends!

Life is different every day... sometimes good, sometimes "bad"... we are happy, we are sad...
There will always be things and even people who will fall through the cracks... We have to acknowledge this and accept it, there is nothing we can change in the past... in order to make the cracks smaller we should let the past teach us how to see the present.
I like to use the morning to set a goal for the day... the path to achieve it is the adventure. Some paths are easy, others not so much, but in the end they should all be meaningful.
HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771. (Wiki)
This replica is anchored in Whitby, where James Cook began his three major voyages.. Firstly on the Endeavour then the Adventure and Discovery... (another ship Cook commanded was the Resolution)
She (the Endeavour) departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn, and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the Pacific islands of Huahine, Borabora, and Raiatea to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier. (Wiki)
Carennac (Franse uitspraak: [kaʁɛnak]) is een gemeente in het Franse departement Lot (regio Quercy).
Het dorp ligt in de vruchtbare vallei van de Dordogne onder het dorre plateau dat lokaal 'le Causse' wordt genoemd. De bezienswaardigheden omvatten een middeleeuwse priorij, een combinatie van een 11e-eeuwse kerk en klooster, en een 16e-eeuws kasteel, waarin de auteur van De avonturen van Telemachus, François Fénelon, woonde van 1681 tot 1685. De kerk heeft een timpaan en het klooster een 15e-eeuwse "mise au tombeau".
The village is located in the fertile valley of the Dordogne under the arid plateau that is locally called 'le Causse'. The sights include a medieval priory, a combination of an 11th-century church and monastery, and a 16th-century castle, in which the author of The Adventures of Telemachus, François Fénelon, lived from 1681 to 1685. The church has a tympanum and the monastery a 15th-century "mise au tombeau".
This is an image I likely wouldn't have posted, but after an interesting conversation with Flickr friend Flaushi & Friends on a swan she captured out on the ocean, I decided to share.
I had heard there was an owl at the lake not too far from work, so I decided to take a second trip (first trip was unsuccessful) after my shift to look for her. My daughter and faithful Border Collie, Bandit came along on the adventure.
After looking for a short time I spotted her out on the docks and walked around the shore trying to find a half decent angle to photograph her. In the meantime, a pair of mute swans swam over to see if we had brought them any goodies. I ignored them at first, since the owl had my full attention, but one of the two was quite persistent. He (or she) came right up to shore, stood up tall and was almost beak to nose with Bandit. Bandit was quite entertained and went into his usual OCD dance bouncing up and down on his hind legs and licking the ice at his feet. The swan wasn't at all phased and stretched out his long neck with an expectant look on his face. When he finally decided I had nothing for him, he swiftly ruffled his feathers and turned away from me. This was captured as he swam away glancing back with a look of disgust at my insensitivity for showing up empty handed.
In 1772 Captain Cook set off in the Resolution, accompanied by the Adventure, for what was to be a three-year voyage. In January 1773 the expedition crossed the Antarctic circle, probably the first ever to do so. Soon after, the Adventure anchored in Adventure Bay, Bruny Island/lunawanna-allonah.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Sam knew he had to get Charlie off of the cart before the shopkeeper came back. So he asked the shop owners dog, who's name happens to be Pugsly, if he had an idea. Pugsly was no help at all, and just said "woof". Then suddenly just like that, as if by magic, that woof sent down a single leaf.
"Catch it Charlie, Catch the leaf" said Sam. "You can do it Charlie!" Sam yells. "I'm trying Sam!" Charlie yells with a tremor in his terrified little voice.

When I did my last photo I remembered Venxia, a place I have not visited a long time.
Venexia is a dark role-play SIM and in my opinion one of the building highlights in second life.

Richard Bach.
Richard David Bach (born June 23, 1936) is an American writer. Bach is widely known as the author of some hugely popular 1970s best-sellers, including Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970) and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (1977). Bach has authored numerous works of fiction and non-fiction, including One: A Novel (1989) and Out of My Mind (1999).
Most of Bach's books have been semi-autobiographical, using actual or fictionalized events from his life to illustrate his philosophy. Bach's books espouse his philosophy that our apparent physical limits and mortality are merely appearance. Bach is noted for his love of aviation and for his books related to flying in a metaphorical context. Bach has pursued flying as a hobby since the age of 17. In late August 2012, Bach was badly injured when on approach to landing at Friday Harbor, Washington, his aircraft clipped some power lines and crashed upside down in a field. Source Wikipedia.
A warm Summer's rain patters along my brow. The tumultuous unknown awaits me once more. And deep down, I know I must go there. "What would it be like to explore the raindrops?," I mutter with uncertainty. I focus my gaze on the flowers before me. A single drop catches my eye. As my world spins upside down, I enter a strange landscape. Petrichor fills my lungs. Hovering along the surface of each petal, the drops seem to float from underneath and into the air. As if the petals themselves are sweating their life blood. Each drop like an orb containing its own inner world. A warm breeze ushers a shaft of light as the rain comes to an end. I close my eyes as the light washes joy into my soul. As each drop fades away, where do they go from here? Where do I go from here?
Continuing the adventure into nature. Slowly coming back and look forward to catching up with my Flickr friends. Happy monochrome bokeh Thursday!
Not much juice left to make the shots... so to cut the story short, I'll be around from time to time to observe, from pc, tablet.
As for playing games, the adventure is over. I need money to fix it, buy new... and it will take time, considering the insane prices, probably months of starving myself to death.
Have fun people & see you around ;)

Happy mid-weekend, everyone! I have been a bit absent from the Flickrsz the last month or so... I have scampered through sporadically, but yes, catch up time for me again, and I can't wait to see the adventures you have all been sharing! I hope everyone has been happy, well and safe.
Here, I'm dancing the night away with my beautiful, super dear friend, Sparkle, 'cause we are both weird sleep freaks and night owls of the uppermost order! Sparkle so completely lives up to her name too, let me tell you! She shines from the inside out with megawatt light, and I swear she got in line twice when they were doling out beauty, intellect, charisma, mad artistic talent and kindness. You can't know her and not adore her. Love you, Sparkling Sassy Thing!! Oh, and I owe her an extra special thank you for working her artsy magic on my unintentional trademark hair glitches in this and for making our elbows look pretty doggone groovy too ... yep, I said that!
I hope you are all having super happy adventures in real life as well as in your online travels, and I am sending everyone heaps of love! xoxo 💕❤️
A long exposure shot of the inner harbour at Whitby of the fishing vessels moored up.I liked this particular shot because of the clarity of the reflections of the boats and the lights,however it is water and it is ot perfectly still even when you think it is resulting in some blurring of the smaller coble. I'm sure there is a technique to counter this and would be happy for anyone to point me in the right direction.
I was also impressed that the local council had gone to the effort of light painting the lobster pots with a spotlight,appreciated.
Many thanks for viewing this and other images in my photo stream.

You do not choose what interests you. It chooses you. Something manifests itself out of the darkness as compelling, as worth living for; following that, something moves us further down the road, to the next meaningful manifestation—and so it goes, as we continue to seek, develop, grow, and thrive. It is a perilous journey, but it is also the adventure of our lives. Think of pursuing someone you love: catch them or not, you change in the process. Think, as well, of the traveling you have done, or of the work you have undertaken, whether for pleasure or necessity. In all these cases you experience what is new. Sometimes that is painful; sometimes it is better than anything else that has ever happened to you. Either way, it is deeply informative. It is all part of the potential of the world, calling you into Being, changing you forever—for better or worse—in consequence of your pursuit.

Deze sleutelhanger is van het Mammoetrallyteam dat niet meer bestaat. Maar Martin van den Brink rijdt nog altijd mee. Inmiddels zit zijn zoon ook achter het stuur en doet hij heel goed mee.
De sleutelhanger heb ik gekregen tijdens een van de Dakar Preprologen. Een evenement dat niet meer bestaat.
Een deelname aan de rally is duur, misschien wel te duur. Geen Nederlandse motoren dit jaar, wel 6 deelnemers in de challenger klasse, ook bij de auto's en de classics 6 deelnemende Nederlandse teams. Bij de trucks een tegenvallende lijst van 8 Nederlandse teams. Dat waren er ooit wel 3x zo veel.
Het avontuur is drie dagen onderweg, ik kan dus nog even genieten.
Ik heb de foto in RAW opgeslagen en bewerkt tot foto.
Achtergrond is een foto van de Abu Dhabi woestijn waar ik in 2019 was.
This key ring belongs to the Mammoetrallyteam that no longer exists. But Martin van den Brink still drives. His son is now also behind the wheel and is doing very well.
I received the key ring during one of the Dakar Preprologues. An event that no longer exists.
Participation in the rally is expensive, perhaps too expensive. No Dutch motorcycles this year, but 6 participants in the challenger class, also 6 Dutch teams participating in the cars and the classics. A disappointing list of 8 Dutch teams for the trucks. There used to be 3x as many.
The adventure is three days underway, so I can still enjoy it for a while.
I saved the photo in RAW and edited it into a photo.
Background is a photo of the Abu Dhabi desert where I was in 2019.
What I really liked about this place was the harbor cruise. It's the same as the dolphin cruise but better. I didn't go aboard the Elissa because I went aboard the USS Constitution several years ago when I was in Boston and I was trying to be conservative with my vacation money but, I did buy the
T-Shirt ...:)
Here's what the Internet says:
Share the adventure of the high seas at the Texas Seaport Museum, home of the celebrated 1877 tall ship ELISSA. Explore the decks of this floating National Historic Landmark which has also been designated one of America’s Treasures by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
I tried hard not to let this look like a holiday snap.

Ey ey! Did you hear about the game called Nightmare in New Orleans from Madpea Productions? You MUST check it ! an interactive game with a good history where you have to investigate your brother's disappearance through some scenarios full of puzzles and mysterious clues that all lead to the same site: Vodoo problems. You can also play gacha and get some good items that will help you throughout the adventure. And of course! When you finish your adventure, a few prizes and achievements await you. Do not miss it!

There we were... doing the previous testing process on our location for the FabFree Photo Challenge of this month.
It's halloween time we must look creepy but still fab so we had a lot of testing and makeup... A LOT!
This is a sneak peak... Soon the StoryBook willl be revealed...
Thoosa & Olivia the adventures continue...
BTW...
1. All the clothes and body parts are freebies, cheapies, group gifts, hunt prizes and lucky boards. I never give details but still try to tag you all.
I told you the thing did not look safe, but no,no, the adventure queen had to get on and tell me to pull the lever. It clanked and groaned and started around, and then with a jolt and a bang that nearly tossed you in the water...dead.
"Fix it!" you said, as if I knew anything at all about the mechanics of carnivals. "Climb down." "In this dress?" I started to reply and thought the better of it.
I found a soda machine that was still working, and tossed you a Coke. You sneered at it, "Coke, really?" As if there might be a choice in this place. "And it's warm!"
I sat don on the bottom gondola, opened a warm Coke, and settled in to wait for someone smarter than me to amble by and get us out of this mess.
And so we waited, at Dya's.
