She was 18

Afbeelding
“She was 18. Her people, who loved her whole life, took her, a vaccination booklet, a leash, a collar and her belongings and took her to the Baldwin Park shelter. They said they were tired of fighting with an older dog, signed papers and left, without even looking at her. When she was picked up by a volunteer at the shelter, she leaned on him probably wishing it was all just an ugly dream. The moment was immortalized by photographer John Hwang, who was in the shelter at the time. Unfortunately, dogs love sincerely, with all their heart, with all their soul and are unable to understand that human 'love forever' most often has an expiration date.. - to annual, to moving, to illness, to old age... Dogs definitely deserve better people!” Stuart James

Wilgenroosje

Afbeelding
  In het kader van de wilg van deze maand: Wilgenroosje Hier een Nederlands sprookje uit Folklore van wilde planten van Philippe van Wersch over hoe het wilgenroosje is ontstaan. Er was eens een elfje dat met haar hele familie in de rozen woonde. Vlakbij de plaats waar zij woonden stond een grote wilg. Hierin woonden de kabouters. Nu was er bij de kabouters een die samen met het elfje speelde en opgroeide. Zij speelden samen dag in en dag uit, en het was niet verwonderlijk dat zij verliefd op elkaar werden. Zij hielden erg veel van elkaar. Wanneer zij oud genoeg waren zouden zij trouwen. Toen het eindelijk zover was, liepen zij hand in hand naar hun ouders en vertelden dat zij wilden trouwen. Alle vier de ouders waren verbaasd en kwaad, want elfjes trouwen niet met kabouters. Dit was al eeuwen zo en zou niet veranderd worden. Het elfje vloog treurig naar haar roos en het kaboutertje slofte naar de wilg en ging daar zitten treuren. Zij wilden niet meer spelen en met niemand meer pra...

Rare Blue Roan Horse

Afbeelding
Rare Blue Roan Horse .. Roan is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points"—lower legs, mane and tail—are mostly solid-colored. Horses with roan coats have white hairs evenly intermingled throughout any other color. The head, legs, mane and tail have fewer scattered white hairs or none at all. The roan pattern is dominantly-inherited, and is found in many horse breeds. While the specific mutation responsible for roan has not been exactly identified, a DNA test can determine zygosity for roan in several breeds. True roan is always present at birth, though it may be hard to see until after the foal coat sheds out. The coat may lighten or darken from winter to summer, but unlike the gray coat color, which also begins with intermixed white and colored hairs, roans do not become progressively lighter in color as they age. The silvering effect of mixed white and colored hairs can create coats that l...

A father said to his daughter

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.” The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.” The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.” The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep. The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.” Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the...

The ChĆ¢teau de Blandy-les-Tours

Afbeelding
The ChĆ¢teau de Blandy-les-Tours is a medieval castle in the village of Blandy-les-Tours (Seine-et-Marne, France). It was mentioned in a text in 1216. It belonged to Adam II de Chailly, Viscount of Melun and consisted of a simple manner; inside of which was a chapel, the only construction made of stone. In the 14th century, the castle was strongly modified with new fortifications and structures of defence: a moat was dug and a new gate-tower with a drawbridge was included in the enclosing wall. The kings Charles V (1364 - 1380) and Charles VI (1380 - 1422) financed the transformation into a castle for the successive owners of the castle, the counts de Tancarville Jean II and his grandson Guillaume IV. A high keep, defended by two drawbridges, was built. The curtain wall was modified by the addition of new towers. All these modifications took place during the Hundred Years' War.

Je doet je best. Je bent zo ver gekomen en soms moet je gewoon even stilstaan ​​en jezelf erkennen. Kijk eens wat je hebt overwonnen. Kijk eens hoe sterk je bent. Kijk eens hoe beter het met je gaat. Het einde van alles is het begin van iets groters. Als je meer tijd besteedt aan het erkennen van hoe groots en magisch je bent, zul je uit de angst komen en nadenken over wat de toekomst biedt. Het volgende is groter. Op elk moment evolueer je. Soms ervaar je uitdagingen die het gevoel hebben dat een deel van jou ten einde loopt, maar dat is nodig. Je evolueert spiritueel. Je wordt wakker. Je realiseert je zoveel over jezelf, wie je werkelijk bent en wat je verdient. In die transformatiefase kan het zwaar of zelfs ongemakkelijk voelen. Het is niet alles vermijden, maar eerder door niets gedefinieerd worden. Het gebeurt, wat nu? Glimlach daarover. Laat de behoefte los om alles onder controle te hebben. Bekendheid zorgt voor herhaling en dat kan prettig aanvoelen. Verandering betekent echte...

Steinvikholm castle

Afbeelding
Steinvikholm castle is a late medieval castle at Skatval, near Trondheim, Norway. The castle was built by Norway's last Catholic archbishop, Olav Engelbrektsson in Nidaros (Trondheim). At the time, the castle was the strongest fortification in the country. Compared to other fortifications at home and abroad, Steinvikholm was very modern for its time, but rapidly changing military technology and strategy quickly made it obsolete. The castle has an almost rhombic ground surface with round towers in the pointed corners to the north-east and south-west. Construction began at the earliest in the summer of 1524, and there is a fairly large consensus that the castle was completed in 1532, i.e. after about seven years, in record time by the standards of the time. The castle was both a defensive structure and permanent residence for the archbishop, and it served as the Catholic Church's last stronghold in Norway before the archbishop was forced into exile at the Reformation in 1537.
