The Hague this week is one big security zone, police and armed forces on the streets and in the sky.

NATO Allies will take decisions in The Hague, the Netherlands to make NATO a stronger, fairer and more lethal Alliance. We live in a more dangerous world, and this is a critical moment for our security. Allies are coming together to reinforce their cooperation and their commitment to NATO.

And while I had to wait for the cavalcade of cars and motorcycles for President Zelensky to pass, I kept thinking of the work and words of Benjamin Ferencz:

“Consider the proposition that law, not war, should be your guide. If you could do that, those three words—law, not war—will save billions of dollars every day, not to say how many millions of lives will be saved. How can you do that? I will give you three more words and three sentences: Never give up! Never give up! Never give up!”.

Almost empty street, only filled with police motorcycles and armored cars.

Wooden bench next to an old fashioned iron gate.

From my #dailywalk, at our #retirement community in #SantaBarbara.

A sunny pathway lined with vibrant flowers and greenery, flanked by charming buildings. A red-leafed tree is prominent, and palm trees are visible in the background against a clear blue sky.

Okay... this is not a pet per se. Today, on my daily walk, I ran into a tiny frog.

The barely visible tiny frog on the sidewalk. Look at my shoe for size comparison.

I need to check my selfmade postcards again and reorder some new ones.

Set of different photo postcards almost dropped into a red/orange mailbox.

Aalbessen in het park!

Gistermiddag gezien en vanavond een portie geplukt :neocat_happy:

Kleine rode aalbessen tussen grote groene bladeren.

Aalbessen in Arendsdorp: past prima in de reeks boeken geschreven door Pim Hofdorp!

Rode aalbessen verborgen tussen grote groene bladeren.

Vanochtend brood gehaald en meteen een blokje om via Sint Petrus Banden. Mijn nicht en mijn peetoom liggen hier begraven.
Het is een mooi kerkhof met een interessante Haagse geschiedenis.

Shell pathway lined by trees, in the distance a cupola with a gateway to the next section.

Yesterday I walked in Cherokee Park. Been a while. I left flat screen and doom scroll behind and entered the green world called June, smelling it, touching it, listening to it. The iParasite in my pocket kept track.

#dailywalk, #pilgrimsprogress: 8,316 steps, 2.8 miles

It was a one deer day. I also saw a turtle catch a fish in Beargrass Creek.

Nice day for my #DailyWalk in the Santa Ynes Mountains. 72 degrees F. Coyote Springs Natural Seep a nature preserve. #SilentSunday

Small to medium size native plants in the foreground, foothills and mountains are in the distance. There are avocado orchards on a hill that are in neat rows.

From my #DailyWalk in #SantaBarbara #Garden

Vibrant clusters of red and pink flowers with small yellow centers, surrounded by green foliage.

A fairy tale palace? Yes, some would argue ...

The Peace Palace 🕊️🇺🇳
Home of the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague Academy of International Law and the Peace Palace Library.

Foreground trees and shrubs, background fairy tale palace-looking brown brick building.

Grassqawtch

An art sculpture called a Grassqawtch. A wood carving of a giant head with bare feet. Long grass grows out of the wooden head & feet to represent hair.

Mid morning walk to get some coffee. The views are not bad either.

Turn in a canal, view of the Grote Kerk in the distance.

FYIFs Update:, I had surgery on May 5 to replace my left knee. 3 weeks and 5 days later, I can walk without assistance, cane, or walker, do stairs, pretty much have almost all my range of motion back. I get tired faster, and it still hurts (in different places as healing progresses). Haven’t tried a hiking trail yet. I feel positive enough about the outcome that Els and I are contemplating getting my right knee done in August. Saturday’s #dailywalk, #pilgrimsprogress: 4,820 steps, 1.7 miles.

Is #DoorgangDonderdag al een ding?

Small alley between two rows of brown brick buildings.

A real Australian summer came Munich yesterday. Unlike the Sth Oz of my youth, German summers are the wet season.The humidity can dull the blue of the sky, but not y’day. The bright sun literally shed new light on the formal, geometric architecture of the Residenz #Munich #München #dailywalk
