On Saturdays I like to go for a meditation class at the Upper House at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The house is usually closed to the public. We were waiting for the teacher, fully aware of the surroundings.
I processed a balanced HDR photos from three RAW exposures, and carefully adjusted the curves, color balance, and perspective.

This bull moose wasn't the least bit concerned with my presence but was certainly aware of it. While browsing on willows he would occasionally look up to check on me. Then...back to browsing.

"Ask yourself, "Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?"
Remember: every coincidence is potentially meaningful.
How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world.
Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level."

Photo taken at central Sri Lanka on the busy Dambulla to Habarana A6 road. The forest on either side is home to elephants. This elephant hopes to slow down the traffic, hoping some people will throw food at him. He has no intention of crossing the road. Elephants are among the most intelligent animals. A few adult elephants frequent this road through a nearby forest track, several times a day.
In the past, passers by have sometimes thrown food at them and these elephants have learnt to get treats from the public.
The elephants can stay on the road, as this one does for any length of time, sometimes threatening to cross over to the other side, causing traffic holdups. All vehicles slow down and some two and three wheelers are extra cautious, in case the elephant charges at them. Passers by especially tourists stop to take photos from a safe distance. With no one stopping, the elephant tries to move forward more to block the lane.
The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), also known as the Asiatic elephant, is a species of elephant distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, from India in the west to Borneo in the east, and Nepal in the north to Sumatra in the south. Three subspecies are recognised—E. m. maximus, E. m. indicus and E. m. sumatranus. The Asian elephant is characterised by its long trunk with a single finger-like processing; large tusks in males; laterally folded large ears but smaller in contrast to African elephants; and wrinkled grey skin. The skin is smoother than African elephants and may be depigmented on the trunk, ears or neck. Adult males average 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons) in weight, and females 2.7 t (3.0 short tons).
Three subspecies are recognised:
-Sri Lankan elephant (E. maximus maximus Linnaeus, 1758)
- Indian elephant (E. maximus indicus Cuvier, 1798)
-Sumatran elephant (E. maximus sumatranus Temminck, 1847)
Sri Lankan elephants are the largest subspecies. Their skin colour is darker than of E. m. indicus and of E. m. sumatranus with larger and more distinct patches of depigmentation on ears, face, trunk and belly. The skin color of the Indian elephant is generally grey and lighter than that of E. m. maximus but darker than that of E. m. sumatranus.
The Asian Elephant is one of only three living species of elephants in the world, the others being the African bush elephant and African forest elephant
It frequently inhabits grasslands, evergreen forests, deciduous forests, and thorn forests.
They are herbivorous, eating about 150 kg (330 lb) of vegetation per day. Cows and calves form groups, while males remain solitary or form "bachelor groups" with other males. During the breeding season, males will temporarily join female groups to mate.
They exhibit mirror self-recognition, an indication of self-awareness and cognition that has also been demonstrated in some apes and dolphins. S_2194
Max is hovering today. I think he knows I'm sick.
I wish he could get stuff for me. That'd be nice.. =))
You just never know where the FBI will turn up, or what mode of transport they'll use.

Coastal Brown Bear (Ursus arctos), last year's cub, is going to be a big bear if he makes it. Staying aware of his surroundings, like he is doing here, is essential to his survival. When he spotted a large bear taking over his mother's fishing spot, he moved on - quickly. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

As some of you know I had a near fatal encounter with a brain tumor in 2010. My daughter found me unconscious and called 911. I thank her every day for saving my life!
Meningioma
A usually noncancerous tumor that arises from the membranes surrounding
the brain and spinal cord.
It isn't clear what causes a meningioma. Radiation therapy, female hormones, and genetics may play a role. In most cases, the condition is noncancerous.
Symptoms may include changes in vision, headaches, hearing loss, and seizures.
A small, slow-growing meningioma that isn't causing signs or symptoms may not require treatment. When needed, treatment might involve surgery or radiation.
Brain Tumor: Symptoms and Signs
Headaches, which may be severe and worsen with activity or in the early morning.
Seizures. People may experience different types of seizures. Certain drugs can help prevent or control them. ...
Personality or memory changes.
Nausea or vomiting.
Fatigue.
Drowsiness.
Sleep problems.
Memory problems.
I met these 2 kids yesterday, just a quick shot. The glance of the girl struck me, she is so aware of herself being photographed. It made me think about the amount of self-consciousness of a child
"I got no feelings, no feelings, no feelings for anybody else except for myself! My beautiful selfish!"
A quick satirical Valentine's Day vignette (if you can call it that) that I randomly threw together a day after the holiday ended. I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't planning on releasing anything for the holiday, since I was swamped with work. Then after the holiday was over, on my train ride home from my night job at Goldman Sachs, I randomly came up with the idea of making this dumb bloody little joke. For those of us introverts, Valentine's Day is just "Singles Awareness Day."
While setting up the shot and taking the photo, I was watching the Simpsons episode "I Love Lisa", followed by Blackadder Goes Forth's "Captain Cook."
Happy I'm not addicted to look down in my phone when I'm out walking 😄 if so, this view would not have been captured.
Small joys ❤️
• She sits on the edge of maybe,
where dreams drift off and just begin.
No map, no compass in her hand,
but still the courage to stand still.
She softly says, “I do not know,”
and that is all she has to show.
But in that quiet, open name,
there lies a truth without a claim.
She is no riddle to be solved,
no path that must be clearly drawn —
but a story growing gently still,
in doubt, in hope, in morning’s dawn.
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! It is truly appreciated... 🙏 ❤️
This is my art installation for ONE BILLION RISING, a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. It is an one-day-only event that is happening on Feb 14, 2019, the seventh year where men and women in Second Life will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and people across the world to Rise, Resist and Unite as a show of unity, individual strength, and the need for change.

My Artist Statement:
My artwork for One Billion Rising tries to capture the moment when a person who has endured rape, sexual abuse, or violence of any kind finally breaks free of the pain that they've experienced, be it physical or emotional. The rising hand-drawn particles of women floating up is a literal interpretation of "one billion rising", as they join in the collective celebration to end the abuse and suffering, rising from the darkness of their painful past. I made each particle to be scaled to our human size so that they are more relatable, and visitors could feel that they are a part of the collective.
I really wanted to give the feeling that pain or abuse - represented by black splotches in the background and on the 3D hand sculptures - doesn't have to last. This is especially expressed in the animated textures on some of the hands, representing change. As we grow as individuals, the pain that has been brought on us takes on a different form, one that can unite us to become stronger than who we used to be.

Winchester Cottages in Copperfield Street, Southwark were built between 1893 and 1895 as an early form of social housing. The person behind this, and other similar nearby dwellings, was Octavia Hill who was an English social reformer. Her main concern was the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, especially London.

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but here are my annual "Awareness Troopers" for this October. Arealight's super awesome one-off helmets inspired me to make these two specifics figs. I also used Arealight's printed curved torso for Sabine. I hand painted some silver & pink onto the jetpack and the rangefinder before I added Fineclonier's decals to finish off the fig. The RC came together real quick too. Fineclonier under printed the blue so it pops against the pink so well! CAC's pink sniper rifle was a freebie I got with an order and it was the perfect accessory to go with this troop!

Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning cup of tea.
