Dip Falls Tasmania. Over time the constant flow of water over this hill has created an intricate network of individual stones which all huddle together as one. It would seem that this fallen tree has discovered the keystone – the one which holds all the others together under the onslaught of rushing water – and rises up to lend its love, strength and protection to this precious individual. A flight of fancy on my part? Perhaps… but it is a beautiful thought, and what I will always see when I look at this image. Landscapes Black and White Artistic Creations Sisters Beach Series

Meet Tolito, the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Tolito loves morning sun, stretching his belly out on cold concrete during summer days and plenty of belly scratches. Although, in this image he looks a little distracted. Probably thinking about where he buried his last bone.

How many times have you looked at everyday objects and either failed to notice what went into its construction, or thought about it beyond its intended purpose? Capable of withstanding shear forces thousands of times its own mass, and finely crafted to fill a specific purpose – these screws made a nice image en masse.

Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge Founded in 1949, the Freedoms Foundation is located adjacent to the Valley Forge National Historic Park, and sits on ground that was once part of General Washington’s encampment. In 1985, the Foundation developed a “Bill of Responsibilities” as part of its worldwide educational efforts. It was meant to be a corollary to the Bill of Rights. Preamble. / Freedom and responsibility are mutual and inseparable; we can ensure enjoyment of the one only by exercising the other. Freedom for all of us depends on responsibility by each of us. To secure and expand our liberties, therefore, we accept these responsibilities as individual members of a free society: 1. To be fully responsible for our own actions and for the consequences of those actions. Freedom to choose carries with it the responsibility for our choices. 2. To respect the rights and beliefs of others. In a free society, diversity flourishes. Courtesy and consideration toward others are measures of a civilized society. 3. To give sympathy, understanding and help to others. As we hope others will help us when we are in need, we should help others when they are in need. 4. To do our best to meet our own and our families’ needs. There is no personal freedom without economic freedom. By helping ourselves and those closest to us to become productive members of society, we contribute to the strength of the nation. 5. To respect and obey the laws. Laws are mutually accepted rules by which, together, we maintain a free society. Liberty itself is built on a foundation of law. That foundation provides an orderly process for changing laws. It also depends on our obeying laws once they have been freely adopted. 6. To respect the property of others, both private and public. No one has a right to what is not his or hers. The right to enjoy what is ours depends on our respecting the right of others to enjoy what is theirs. 7. To share with others our appreciation of the benefits and obligations of freedom. Freedom shared is freedom strengthened. 8. To participate constructively in the nation’s political life. Democracy depends on an active citizenry. It depends equally on an informed citizenry. 9. To help freedom survive by assuming personal responsibility for its defense. Our nation cannot survive unless we defend it. Its security rests on the individual determination of each of us to help preserve it. 10. To respect the rights and to meet the responsibilities on which our liberty rests and our democracy depends. This is the essence of freedom. Maintaining it requires our common effort, all together and each individually.
Located at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania these cannons are now silent. They stand at attention as a reminder of the spirit of freedom and what men will do to achieve it. There was no enhancement except the saturation of color done to this picture. I felt an eerie silence when viewing what I was able to capture. Come to Valley Forge Park and find yourself a quiet stop and allow the voices of those who once lived there speak to you. Find the cost of freedom / buried in the ground. / Mother Earth will swallow you. / Lay your body down Another version with sweet harmony
