Explore Worthy, Mini Challenge 23 - Serenity Landscape (2020 Art)
From my capture of cattle grazing in KZN Province, South Africa.
To commemorate all the white farmers murdered in South Africa since 1994, when the ANC government took over the country.
This past week has seen Edi Neumeister (67yo) chopped to death with a panga in KZN Province.
An elderly farmer couple were brutally assaulted on their farm in Northwest Province, the 64yo farmer burned all along his back with boiling water, amongst other savage injuries.
Just a small distance from us, on a farm outside the town, a middle aged couple were badly beaten, especially the woman.
Just in one week.
We have had thousands of farmers and their wives and children savagely tortured and brutally murdered. Amongst other things, a 3 yo little girl gang raped and then burned alive. A 12yo boy drowned in boiling water.
And the world says nothing, because the mainstream media tells no one. Because it not politically correct.
But i shall tell you all, in South Africa, it is a war zone, especially on the farms. The people who feed the entire population are being annihilated, and in the most demonic ways imaginable.
I uploaded this and accidentally deleted it so I apologise to those who had commented and favoured it.
I have finished 6 weeks of farm sitting, so I have more time now for my flickr.
Josie is on a very slow weight loss regime starting from yesterday. She is doing just fine.

When he's out, he's all business. Spring is here, at last.
Aubrey is ready to combat COVID-19 thanks to his camo mask made by an old school classmate who runs her own small business. This portrait was really all Aubrey’s idea. Once he saw his camo mask he thought it was cool enough to do a photo shoot with.

Orion in the Road
This one was taken a few weeks ago by my 12yo son, James on one of my cameras. He had the idea of framing the road up with Orion when he noticed it right above as we wallked to the dam we where going to shoot at. (He has his own camera but it is more of a daylight camera than a night one). Don't worry - it is a very quiet road with visibility in both directions in the dark. We never take serious risks to make a picture, and nor should you. He helped me edit it together this morning aswell. Some of this involves quite complicated masking so I had my hand in it so he can learn. The low lying cloud makes Orion glow nicely. A little lesson learned here, sometimes you have to grab what you can right now, as later on it clouded over and scuppered our plans. The night sky has always makes me extremely aware of time. I think that's why I feel the same principal applies in life. Don't wait.
I was asked by the mother of 12yo daughter to photograph her as an adult. Right there I had to step back a bit and get an explanation. At 12yo and 5’8” she has already been approached by some top level modeling agencies in LA, but they can’t sign her until she’s 14, but need photos showing her physical stature, poise, look, etc so they can be ready to sign her once she’s able to, and to see her progress during that time. So this is one of those tricky situations where I have to consider the client, take age-appropriate photos (and poses) yet try to showcase her talent. This was essentially an hour test shoot in the suburbs in exchange for sushi. :)
Now this girl’s favorite show is America’s Next Top Model, and it was almost funny to watch as she transposed her look from a giggly 12yo into an intense model. As soon as I put the camera up, her giddiness disappeared and a fierce look came out. Throughout the shoot, her and her mom would say chat back and forth, "Well, Tara always says to... " "Tara likes it when models... "

Best wishes for the holy season. Please stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for your kind visit, favs and comments.
We are all ok.
On Tuesday Mercedes was found laid out at my front gate.
I had started to trust her to go out in the night sometimes. She always came back. It was difficult to force her all the time to be inside at night.
She didn't come back on Monday night after we had gone to bed, but I had an important phone call and I had to get up. It was then she kept demanding to go out. On the 3rd demand I let her out.
I had been vigilantly keeping her in at night, but I have been unwell, and I had started to give in to her demands to go out. She hated confinement. I was also doing things to keep her connected to stay close to the house. I would take her for walks on my shoulder which she loved. She loved individual attention away from the other cats.
I have been struggling in myself, and I had neglected giving her her special time, for a few days, which I used to do at dusk. She would anticipate me coming out and we would walk the length of the property and back with her on my shoulder and purring loudly.
I was going to go out and call her after she hadn't come back, but I am in pain myself in my ankle and feet, and it's difficult.
I don't know if she was hit by a car or poisoned. She did have blunt force injury to her left hip. But other things raised questions.
She loved catching mice and she loved showing off her prize. She would catch about 2 mice or rats a day. Mostly mice.
She was doing well on her pain medication, and it was a deep cold blow to me emotionally to lose her. I am responsible for her and she shouldn't have been off the property, regardless of her difficult nature. She had to suffer a little bit being inside at night to survive this world, and I allowed her to go out.
She did have her health issues and I hope she didn't suffer in any way.
She was mostly happy, but she was antagonistic towards the other cats which made things difficult where I am.
My life has taken a few bad turns due to circumstances, we were meant to have our own home a year ago. But things happened and we have had to move to a temporary home. Each time we move it's traumatic for all of us.
I have no doubt that if we had our own home, that I would have had the place secured for them.
I'm sad that she didn't get to come with us to our eventual home of our own.
This is how she slept. I think she's able to stretch her legs fully when there is no weight on them. It must have felt good to stretch them like that. With the pain killer she walked taller, but she still wasn't perfect.
This photo was taken about 12 days before she passed.
She is happy and adorable and loves getting attention. She pesters me a lot for attention. Despite her diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in July 2016, she is doing very well. The vet is pleased with her on her recent visit. She gets a blood test in December to check her thyroid is still normal. She underwent radioactive thyroid treatment in July 2016 for hyperthyroidism. It has cured her thyroid so far.

This sweet boy has been in the forefront of our thoughts the last couple of weeks. He has fought upper respiratory, digestive, and allergy issues off and on for his whole life (12yo), but has taken it all in stride. He thought we were losing him, though, last week when he stopped eating and became extremely lethargic. (You know it's bad when they turn down chicken baby food and tuna.) We have a fabulous vet, however, and she kept trying one thing and another--x-rays, bloodwork, steroids, antibiotics, fluids--but couldn't determine the cause. He had an ultrasound from a specialty clinic, but they didn't find anything either. Our vet gave me an appetite stimulant for him that works like gangbusters, and he now appears to be through whatever crisis it was. He's even batting around toys. We are very happy, because we were not prepared to lose him. He's such a sweet boy. The specialty clinic said he was purring throughout the ultrasound!

Tonight I felt like making a ring light portrait and my son Aubrey was game.
Shot with my Fujifilm X-T3 and xf 18-55 zoom set at 55mm through a Paul C Buff ring light with the 30" moon unit attached. The light was about 3 ft away. Triggered with a cable plugged into the PC port on the camera and the sync socket on the light.
