Ice Droplets on Northern Sea Oats. Each winter seems to be warmer than the last and is arriving much later than previous years. This winter is no exception. No doubt that we are, up to this point, much warmer, my guess would be 5 - 10 degrees above last years averages. Welcome to a warmer future.
Future generations... the children of this generation, will be asking: "What were you thinking? Why did you do nothing?" If the plants and animals could speak they would ask the human species the same questions. There is no doubt in my mind that climate related species extinctions will soon become common as life forms fail to adapt to the ever increasing rapidity of change.
Child labour refers to work done by children that harms them or exploits them either physically or mentally. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) defines a ‘child’ as anyone below the age of 18, and ‘child labour’ as any form of work performed by children below age 18.
According to the UNICEF, up to 10 million children are estimated to be working in Pakistan
Article 25a in the Constitution of Pakistan reads:
The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of five to 16 years in such manner as may be determined by law

Ever seen a whole butchered pig riding a bike?
Taken during an early morning shoot around the Hoan Kiem Lake. The area around the lake is a parallel universe. It's wonderful to observe how it comes to life from the crack of dawn. Of course, it's also great fun following two-wheelers and taking panning shots in Hanoi.
Check out the whole set - Overwhelming Vietnam.

It's been really busy and stressful days. It seems like everyone and everything pulls you to different directions which you don't necessarily want to take. School and work have not allowed me to use my camera for personal creative purposes until yesterday. I just had the immense urge to do something so my friend Peter and I ran like crazy maniacs to catch those magnificent last pink tones in the sky. Jumping into the cold water and start shooting whatever came to mind was so invigorating!
This cairn was a welcome sight on the hike down to Burden Falls in the Shawnee National Forest. A few of these mark the point where the trail crosses the stream. I have a whole philosophy of life built around cairns. The cairn is a concrete image – a touchstone – that I can hold in my mind as a point of meditation or as a simple reminder of how I want to live my life. The cairn has become a personal symbol in my quest to live a well- balanced life. Download my ebook for free at tinyurl.com/Cairns-Philosophy
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

This bear greeted me as I entered Carson Park in Eau Claire, WI this morning.
I wish I could have stayed down here all day exploring the Burden Creek but my friend was up top with my dog & my dog started barking at me.. We were worried about letting him climb down & not be able to climb back up. Silly us, he probably could make the climb back up easier than WE could. Next time we're leaving the dog at home so we could explore more in silence & peace. (Marley hates when we ignore him to take pictures or video).
“It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack
But no one can rate a burden's weight
Until it has been on his back”
― Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When I was in Costa Rica I asked our guide/driver to please take this image because my camera was packed into my luggage when we were on our way to the airport. As promised, Daniel emailed me his photo to me recently after taking another group to Panama.
This forest of city street lights, called Urban Light was created by artist Chris Burden. Despite initial appearances, the arrangement is not a perfect grid. Depending on where the viewer stands, the lamps arrange themselves in different angles and arrays. The 202 cast iron lamps once lit the streets of Los Angeles. Burden bought the first one at the Rose Bowl flea market, and soon collecting and restoring street lights became an obsession. He painted them all the same neutral gray, in order to draw the eye to all the different varieties of cast iron decoration. Burden says that street lamps like these were symbols of a civilized and sophisticated city—safe after dark and beautiful to behold. The lights all still work, and they are now powered by solar energy. They are switched on every night at dusk, and are lit until 10pm. At night, Burden says his sculpture becomes transformed into “a building with a roof of light.” Since it was installed along LACMA’s Wilshire Boulevard entrance in February 2008, artist Chris Burden’s "Urban Light" has become "an instant landmark" [New York Times].

The morning was cold, below 20f when I stepped onto the ice and the new coating of snow crunched under my boot. It is only February but the season of ice will leave us soon and the signs of this change are everywhere. The ice is starting to break and the close I came to the far shore the more the ice moaned in protest of my presence in it's domain. This morning was special, the fog had rolled in along the foothills of the front range muting sound, heightening senses and making the world into a dreamlike state. After this freeze the temps will rise into the 60's for the rest of the week making the ice to dangerous to tread over. Then not much longer after that the ice will disappear entirely until next winter. I have spent much time on the ice this past season, a place that holds a beauty all of it's own, I place I will happily return to next winter.
This cybernetic beast of burden, half mammal and half machine, could be found throughout the galaxy. This red-plated version was commandeered by a member of the Guavian Death Gang.
I loved the luggabeast as soon as we saw it in promo footage for The Force Awakens. A cyborg creature is such an interesting concept!
