Cole thought he liked prawns, but then he realized they weren't shrimp, he did try a cockle.
Still you can't not buy some seafood at Doncaster fish market. He even tried a cockle!

I never thought I could love someone with every atom of my body
I never thought I could find someone to love that way
I never thought that someone would love me back just the same
I never thought I could be happy beyond any measure of reason
I never thought I could ever feel this safe and secure
I never thought I could look forward to the rest of my life this intensely
I never thought I could contain this much love and still somehow have it increase every day
I never thought I could find someone who would insist on buying me flowers at least once a month
I will never forget how lucky I am
I added this texture because the angle I shot the power line at made me think of a ship's mast so I thought a postcard-ish texture was appropriate.

The morning light burned out the bad thoughts which tried to annihilate the joy of a sunny Sunday morning. Sights sway. Thoughts away. Lost behind the last corner.
I have been thinking about the afterlife quite a lot lately, after having lost someone very close to me. That day, I just stared off into the world around me, and began to realize this intense silence, normally cluttered with noise of both thought and physical environment. It was in this oddly calming silence that I began to see even deeper into the beauty of my surroundings.
Perhaps when our loved ones pass away, they stay right here - in every cloud, every autumn leaf, and every breath of wind. It's them we see, glowing in every blood red summer sunset, flowing through the veins of our atmosphere, filling them with beauty. They sit within each snowflake, being carried safely from the winter sky, unique just as we all are. With every wave swept in from the sea, they're attempting to grab the hand of someone they loved. There they are, sharing with you their world - the immeasurable beauty, which they always wanted to share while alive, but could never express through words, nor photograph. Their imagination, their entire mind displayed brilliantly before your very eyes. They now have this incredible ability to show you the world as they had always seen it. Maybe this is why we become more aware and appreciative of our surroundings as we grow older, and more familiar with the ways of life. Maybe this is them wanting us to be happy, reminding us that this life is beautiful.
I really want everyone to remember this, and think about it every now and then in life.
The power of nature is sometimes beyond our understanding and our coping - over time it can weather and split huge boulders in two as above.
It can also summon the most terrifying forces imaginable that bring so much destruction to lives and property in the shortest time conceivable as recent events in Japan and New Zealand so horribly illustrate.
But, as in the image above, there is always a ray of light - a sign of hope - no matter how hard it might be to see - or how difficult it is to comprehend the enormity of the recovery and rebuilding task - of lives and of communities - and perhaps even more importantly - of confidence - or to make sense of how long it will take.
Unfortunately, sometimes the ever increasing numbers associated with a disaster become the story - mainly led by the media - the number of deaths, the number of injuries, the number of homes destroyed, the number of homeless, the magnitude of the earthquake, the height of the tsunami. In so doing - we risk forgetting that every single home lost is a tragedy for that family - every injury has a personal story - every life lost brings almost unbearable sadness for the loved ones, family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.
We must never forget that it is not about numbers - it is about people!!
My thoughts are with the people of Japan - and New Zealand - and Australia and all the other countries trying to cope with the massive rebuilding challenges after the many, many natural disasters impacting so much of the world - as they confront the enormity and the horror of this event.

My daughter, aged 10, wonders about a conversation we just had while we wait for coffee (for me) and food.
A gorilla at the Albuquerque Rio Grande zoo ponders the meaning of everything on a glorious sunny afternoon. Or maybe, it was just pondering what mischief to get into next. Rather hard to tell with a gorilla. Either way, the pose and the moment struck me, giving us Deep Thoughts.
My little Fluffy died last week, on the 31st December.
She began to make little noises a few months ago but the vet wasn't worried about it since her general health was good. We thought this was a new behaviour.
But then she began to have problems breathing and we went to a veterinary school fully equipped to find out what she had and they kept her with oxygen to help her breath. An abscess in her larynx was discovered and we were really hopeful she would be saved. But her little heart stopped beating during the medical exam that would have helped the vets plan the surgery she would have needed.
I am inconsolable since this tragic day even when people remind me that she enjoyed the 9 years and a half she spent with us. I miss her so much. I feel empty without her and our home without her stuff also seems empty.
We already lost Cappu 1 year ago and this was painful. What can help me is to think that they are together again now.
