Only two for the Macro Mondays theme of eraser for 9/25. This one is closer.

“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing? (136-137)”

~ Swami Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

~ Lao Tzu

“We are our choices.”

~ Jean-Paul Sartre

My first street photography attempts. I was attracted to this scene by the rich colors. But somehow I find this image works so much better in black and white.

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland, and split-tone processed (with two shades of red) for Flickr Red Day. Today, 6th April, is Flickr Red Day - oh I am all for change and innovation, but I am also a huge supporter of choice and the new Flickr layout does not really work well for us PC users and an option for the old layout would be the ideal solution. I upload this heavily processed street shot in solidarity of the Flickr Red Day protest.

Paris

Last night, after the Rowdies win over Memphis (!), they put in a very impressive fireworks show. Height of the display may have been limited, since most of the fireworks stayed low. This presented beautiful colorful clouds of smoke that I hadn’t seen before. The inclusion of the palm trees and harbor in the background were bonuses for me. I’m only posting two of my photos from last night, but I had many choices for favorites. Good job, Rowdies!

Either way is fine

The after party tent.

This is the final photo from the Melbourne Zoo. It shows the oldest remaining 19th century building, which at one point housed lions. Thank goodness it is now empty, and the lions have much more room to roam. But equally we can be glad for the opportunity to see the way animals were exhibited not too many decades ago. We have come a long way in our understanding of animal welfare.

Modern zoos do not take animals from the wild. Their breeding programs and research are geared towards educating the public and preserving their precious DNA for future generations when many species may well otherwise become extinct.

The message here (enlarge the shot) is one of making choices. When we buy products - in this case palm oil - it is vital we make sure that it has not been sourced from places like rainforests or other fragile environments. Having governments enforcing regulations and proper labelling of goods will go a long way to helping protect precious habitats and species from being lost. The responsibility is ours to choose.

This tea caddy box is probably over 30 years old, but it's still kicking around. Why the title "Hobson's choice"?. Simply because it was the only suitable thing I could find. "Creative or unusual packaging"... "Looking close on Friday"...

ARGGGG...I have been so busy this week! I will be catching up with all of you soon!! Have a great rest of the week!

"We are our choices."

—Jean-Paul Sartre

2011

Photographing storms seems to be all about choices. Even though radar is a big help in identifying the heaviest rain, you still need to stop and look every so often. That's what I was doing when I took this stitch, just trying to work out wether I want to go SW or SE to stay on the edge.

Going to Disneyland on Monday, who wants to go?

As the title say's this was my 2nd choice shot for the macro monday theme , but I thought it was a bit to obvious what it is.

Answer = Long nose pliers...
