Biography: Ozeline Pearson Wise was the first Black woman to be employed in the banking department of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She grew up in Michigan and Massachusetts, graduating from high school in Cambridge, Mass. With the death of her father before she began college, she sought employment in the postal service. Despite a high score on the civil service examination, she was not hired and began to work at various clerical jobs. During World War II, she worked for the U.S. Navy in both ship fittings and personnel. She was then employed for 20 years by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 1963, after the death of her husband, John Wise, she went to live in Cambridge with her sister, Satyra Bennett. Very active in St. Paul A.M.E. Church, which her father, the Rev. William B. Pearson, had pastored, she was trustee, Sunday School teacher, and chair of the building fund. Cofounder with her sister, and a charter member of the Citizens' Charitable Health Association, she also worked with Mrs. Bennett in other community organizations. Her contributions to her church were recognized in 1969 and again in 1978.

Our final day in the lakes and a more modest and flatter walk (less that 2500ft total ascent). This is Wise Een Tarn near Sawrey and Windermere.
(EXPLORE) Back to the Parrot Refuge in Coombs, B.C. for today's post......this older fellow was one of the first to greet me and had loads of personality. You can see he's looking a little worn around the edges but you barely noticed that with his sunny disposition.
I hope the response from Black Day Sunday opened some eyes and ears at flickr.....I think many of the old & wise members voiced their concerns very well. This site should not cater to just the new and young "followers", this is a community for all ages.

Vatican City (October, 2019)
Having grown up in the South (southern United States), it took a southern writer like Flannery O'Connor to peel the scales from my eyes. She showed me a different vision of spirituality and American belief. Although there are stand alone versions of Wise Blood, the one I read was in this edition, 3 By Flannery O'Connor.

these were unfortunately not taken in the wild – iv still had absolutely no luck with owls!
these are taken at the yorkshire animal park and what really surprised me about watching them with their handlers was how much of their personalities shone through, this cheeky little fella kept stopping off in the crowd, and the and when they flew the hobby he buggered off and came back when the crowds had gone!
hope everyone is staying safe!
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
Two wise men... Mary's Christmas Nativity scene. Only two of the three wise men showed up - you know they're hard to find these days!
No one can become wise until they know they have more to learn.
＊Since a comment was not able to be written that the site of Flickr is not a Flickr member,
I decided to UP the same photograph to fotolog.
Therefore, those who are not Flickr members need to write a comment fotolog,please!!

Abu Mustafa every morning oping the Radio and listen to his favorite singer Fairoz and this the look when he doing that.
This owl looks like he has the wisdom of centuries. He was actually a bit outraged that we were close - he kept showing us his tongue! He was gracious enough to pose for this shot though.
Happy Feathery Friday!
Wise Old Owls.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
English Language Nursery Rhyme
Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes about 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl.
This fellow looks ready to confront me, but we did not interact and he continued on his way up the alley.

If you meet a nice young lady always have a bunch of red carnations with you....and put your pants on.
There are 100 of these cast iron men dotted along the beach. some have banacles clinging to them. Some have shiny appendages from regular fondling. Thankfully a daily wash from the tide stops them getting sticky.
The sculptor, Antony Gormley, says he modelled them on himself. Yeah , right.
The sand started to drift and created a nice effect......
