The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden.
"Best Friend" is a variety of hybrid tea rose created by the famous French rose breeders Meilland International Roses. Described as stylish, classic rose of great beauty and richness, "Best Friend" has vibrant blooms of deep, hot plum pink. Being a hybrid tea rose they have a strong sweet perfume. "Best Friend" was named by the RSPCA to honour the unconditional special friendship that comes from loving a pet.
The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.
Seit ich lesen kann, war ich fasziniert von den Geschichten aus der Südsee …
Am meisten hat mich der Aloha Geist (Aloha Spirit) in meinem Innersten berührt.
Eine tiefe Sehnsucht, diesen Geist kennen zu lernen, ließ mich immer wieder vom „pazifischen Paradies“ träumen ~ ~ ~
Flickr ließ diesen Traum Gestalt annehmen ~ in Gestalt von Moanalani Ke`alohilani Roquette, kurz Moana (http://www.flickr.com/people/pa-i_ki-i/).
Moana ist für mich der Motivator geworden, der mich „Aloha“ erkennen ließ, weil sie selbst Aloha lebt!!! Vertiefe dich in ihr Profil und du erfährst sehr viel darüber, was Aloha bedeutet. Schaue die Bilder und Kunstwerke in ihrem Stream an und du wirst ergriffen vom Aloha Spirit! :-)
Dieser Geist lässt Moana auch eine tiefempfundene vorbehaltlose Liebe zu allen Menschen empfinden und wenn du von dieser Liebe ergriffen wirst, kann es sein, dass du den Tag zur Nacht werden lässt, weil Moana 12 Stunden von dir entfernt wohnt (wie in meinem Fall… :-)
Der Aloha Spirit erfasst Herz, Geist und Seele. Der Aloha Spirit ist nicht auf Hawai’i und die Hawaiianer begrenzt. Wenn du den Aloha Spirit in deiner kleinen Welt lebendig werden lassen willst, kann ich dir die Aktion „Live Aloha“ empfehlen: www.ealoha.com/livaloha.htm
Wenn du Näheres über die Aktion, die auf dieser Website beschrieben ist, erfahren willst, kannst du dich gerne mit mir über flickr-Mail austauschen.
Peace und Love
Aloha!
Gerry :-)

Since I can read, I was faszinated by the stories from the Southern Pacific … Above all the Aloha Spirit has touched me deep at heart. A deep longing for to get to know this Spirit let me dream over and over again of the „Pacific paradise“ ~ ~ ~
Flickr let this dream take shape ~ in form of Moanalani Ke `alohilani Roquette, short Moana (http://www.flickr.com/people/pa-i_ki-i/).
Moana has become the Motivator for me who revealed "Aloha" to me, because she herself lives Aloha!!! Dive in her profile and you get to know a lot about what means Aloha. Look at the pictures and artworks in her stream and you will be deeply moved by the Aloha Spirit. :-)
This Spirit allows Moana also to feel a deep-felt unconditional love to all people and if you are moved by this love, maybe you make the night to day when Moana lives 12 hours afar from you (like it is the case with me …:-)
The Aloha Spirit seizes your heart, mind and soul. The Aloha Spirit is not limited to Hawai'i and the Hawaiians. If you want to allow the Aloha Spirit to come to life in your small world, I can recommend you the action "Live Aloha": www.ealoha.com/livaloha.htm
If you want to find out further details about the action which is described on this website, you can freely exchange yourself with me through flickr mail.
Peace and Love
Aloha!
Gerry :-)
If ever life one is fortunate enough to have the realization of a soulmate, this little guy is mine, We've been together now for 16 years. He's certainly lived up yo his name "Zigfield the Great".
There is definitely truth in the old saying, 'a dog is a man's best friend". There is also something to be said about the time your best friend and soulmate surpasses you in years and becomes your elder.
I have the greatest respect for this soulful critter, for his teachings, quiet ways, playful demeanour and watchful eye as we've grown together over the years.
He will certainly always be with me even after he's left this world and moved on.
His life and unconditional LOVE will be what I am left with to celebrate always, knowing that perhaps our souls will join again in some other adventure, on some other plane in the universal dimension of time. I am most grateful and blessed indeed!
Thanks indeed everyone for your personal comments and also your support from selected groups.
Awards are encouraging and especially from those who add my work to their 'faves'.

Standing right by the Midway Aircraft Carrier is this 25 ft. statue of the iconic photo taken Aug. 14, 1945, in Times Square New York City the day World War II ended. A sailor stopped a nurse, gave her a big kiss which was captured by a random photographer.
It become the symbol of the joy felt when the war was finally over. Called, "The Kiss" or "Unconditional Surrender" it's replicated here in bronze, overlaid with painted aluminum.
I had to post a collage because there were no people to show scale when we first got there in the morning.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Almost every evening Merlin and his human come by to visit. Merlin and Scott have become fast best friends.
I know Scott looks forward to Merlin's visit each and every day, and from what Tammy says, it's the highlight of Merlin's day.
Tonight while they were playing I decided to grab the camera to see what I could snap. I shot this one during one of Merlin's many breaks.
I really like the way this one turned out, you can see just how happy Merlin is.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
