    Made with love. Homecooked meals and getting to visit some of my family makes my visit to South Carolina warm and lovely.: by hannahctallorin, Views[203]
         		 Trying out new things. The first time I had oyster in my entire life was in South Carolina during their annual Oyster Festival.: by hannahctallorin, Views[215]
         		 Conquering fears over good food. Poogan's porch is a restuarant that has a history for being haunted, but being known for their good food like grits can make anyone brave.: by hannahctallorin, Views[251]
         		 Sweet dirt at Boone Hall Farms. Buying fresh produce is great but being able to pick it fresh off the stem is priceless.: by hannahctallorin, Views[206]
         		 Southern favorite at Okra Grill. Sweet tea, spanish moss trees, southern hospitality and beautiful sunsets are some of the attractions down south, but trying chicken and waffles completes the Southern experience.: by hannahctallorin, Views[246]

         		 Over 100 million animals are sacrificed in the three days Eid Al-Adha occurs, with many voices raising objections on the cruelties, resources of livestock, & economic benefits for those involved. We must first understand the spirit Islam wishes to convey with Ibrahim’s loyalty to Allah’s will, & Isma’il’s willingness to accept his gruesome fate. With over 46 millions turkeys to be consumed on Thanksgiving in the US alone, it is unfair to say whose practices are deemed acceptable. : by shawnharris, Views[426]
         		 Farah [Left] , Jammal [Center], & Wasim [Right] play “capture the animal” outside the American Canyon Farm in Vallejo, California, as sacrifices continue inside on October 15th, 2013. Farah wears a hijab, a headscarf, worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty. : by shawnharris, Views[484]
         		 The sacrificial animals are completely bled out, for the bacterial load to be reduced, and then taken for skinning and organ removal. Islamic law mandates that the sacrifice be swift, painless, and healthy for its eaters. Unfortunately, American slaughterhouse corporations are shifted more towards productivity. Mohsin Akhtar uses a battery-powered sawzall to separate the meat for distribution. The family who performed the sacrifice will keep 1/3, friends and relatives will be given 1/3, while the remaining third is given to the poor. : by shawnharris, Views[336]
         		 Aazim [6] grasps his older brother Asim’s [11] arm as they witness the sacrifice of a goat. A goat must be at least one year of age, a sheep six months, a cow two years, and a camel five years to be worthy of sacrifice. Animals who are blind, sick, with facial deformities, no teeth, or who cannot walk to their slaughtering place are not acceptable for sacrifice. : by shawnharris, Views[340]
     
    Three men from the Islamic Center in Vallejo, California voice in unison invoking the name of God, “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar,” [In the Name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest] commemorating Eid Al- Adha, known as the Feast of Sacrifice, where Prophet Ibrahim was commanded by Allah in a dream to sacrifice his only son, Isma’il. In the last moment Allah intervened instead with a lamb to sacrifice for his faithful submission. Iqbal Khan [Right] uses his right hand to hold an extremely sharp knife to cut into the jugular vein, while the left directs the animals face toward the Ka’ba, the most sacred location in Islam. Concurrently, millions of Muslims will travel to the Saudi Arabia to pray before the Ka’ba and act in the rituals to honor Ibrahim’s devotion, and fulfill one of the five pillars of faith, Hajj. It is the largest annual gathering of humanity in the world. [October 15th, 2013]: by shawnharris, Views[481]

         		 But the spirit is undefeated. People know how to pick themselves up and enjoy what life has to offer. After all, Life is an ice cream. Enjoy before it melts!: by findingnemi, Views[172]
         		 There are stormy days when all seems lost and life can be tough.: by findingnemi, Views[190]

    Let me give you a peek into what NYC is really all about.: by findingnemi, Views[185]
         		 As clouds roll in and the sun begins to fall in the sky, an Egret perches over Sanibel's fishing pier. Wildlife and humans co-exist peacefully on the island, making it an incredibly unique place to visit.: by erinjayne, Views[287]
         		 A Brown Pelican, Roseate Spoonbills, and Ibises gather at Sanibel's J.N.
         		 A man looks out at the horizon toward Fort Myers Beach, where condos dot the skyline. Evenings on Sanibel often bring long lines of clouds that absorb the color of the sun as it sets. : by erinjayne, Views[211]
         		 Joined by a Brown Pelican and shorebirds, a boy steps into low tide waters along Sanibel as the sun rises over the island.: by erinjayne, Views[215]
     
    As the sun begins to set, a shorebird scurries along the shells on the beaches of Sanibel, Florida. The island, known as a sanctuary for wildlife, is one of the world's best locations for shelling.: by erinjayne, Views[208]
         		 Playing - These little pups barely stopped scrapping, it was amazing!...they kept on for a while and then seemed both so exhausted and stopped for a bit, then started again, it reminded me of me and my siblings when we were younger!. : by mizznomadic, Views[188]
         		 Abundance - A pier in Monterey with a view, this was barricaded off to the public with high iron bars, so to protect the Seal Lions: by mizznomadic, Views[192]
         		 Family - This is my favourite out of the set, this mother kept looking at me and then down at her pup being a protective mum cuddling with her baby: by mizznomadic, Views[174]
         		 Relaxing - This Sea Lion was smaller than the rest but did not let the others intimidate him. They were barking at him for ages but he ignored them and certainly did not let that effect his chill out time!: by mizznomadic, Views[160]
     
    Here's lookin' at you - Whilst I was walking towards the Coast Guard Pier in Monterey, there was this Sea Lion casually sunbathing on his own. He was trying to ignore me but he was still keeping an eye on me! : by mizznomadic, Views[259]
         		 But they pick themselves back up and learn to rise and shine. After all Life's an Ice Cream. Enjoy before it melts.: by findingnemi, Views[127]
         		 There are days when there is a storm cast and everything seems lost.: by findingnemi, Views[101]
         		 It's all very competitive. You always need to think two steps ahead and assess all probabilities to stay ahead or you may fall behind.: by findingnemi, Views[91]
         		 Everyone runs through life trying to balance things and let the distractions become a blur.: by findingnemi, Views[121]
