There’s currently a standoff taking place beneath the DVD player for the morning’s entertainment. Keeping well out of it. #PlaymobilInfestation

Alexander the Great was 32 when he died. In 323 B.C he fell very ill and appeared to die. After 6 days his corpse was showing no signs of rot or decomposition. It is now believed, he may have suffered from a condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. He was likely, buried alive. 🗃️

Learn to think like Alexander The Great. "They have already lost the battle, because I already taste my VICTORY!"

Shooting the stars is always nice, especially in areas of North Florida. We have great dark skies with very little light pollution along the coast. We used a big LED panel with an amber diffuser to light up the scene. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #EastCoastKin #stars #milkyway
