Dame Shaniqua Ogletree - Knight!  August 18, 2017

“Morgaine, Morgaine - kinswoman, I have never seen you weep.” “Are you like so many men, afraid of a woman’s tears? (…)” “No (…) it makes them seem so much more real, so much more vulnerable - women who never weep frighten me, because I know they are stronger than I, and I am always a little afraid of what they will do.” 

Based on my favorite tarot card, the Queen of Wands.

Medieval castle stairs were often built to ascend in narrow, clockwise spirals so right-handed castle defenders could use their swords more easily. This design put those on the way up at a disadvantage (unless they were left-handed). The steps were also uneven to give defenders the advantage of anticipating each step’s size while attackers tripped over them. Source Source 2 Source 3

Crystal clear blue water come from inside the cave, the beginning of a gorgeous creek. I love places like this… this is probably my favorite photo from the day.
