You have no engagements, commitments, obligations, or duties; no special ambitions and only the smallest, least complicated of wants; you exist in a tranquil tedium, serenely beyond the reach of exasperation, “far removed from the seats of strife,” as the early explorer and botanist William Bartram put it. All that is required of you is a willingness to trudge.
There is no point in hurrying because you are not actually going anywhere. However far or long you plod, you are always in the same place: in the woods. It’s where you were yesterday, where you will be tomorrow. The woods is one boundless singularity. Every bend in the path presents a prospect indistinguishable from every other, every glimpse into the trees the same tangled mass. For all you know, your route could describe a very large, pointless circle. In a way, it would hardly matter.
-- Bill Bryson
Christmas tree decoration of a polar bear. First time I have dabbled with high key and was harder than I envisaged. Would liked to have dabbled longer but too many other commitments at this time of year
Autumn in the Jardin de Luxembourg
This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves
There are only two options regarding commitment.
You're either in or out.
There's no such thing as a life in-between.

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

A hummingbird, wings fully charged with light, just as the decision to lift off is made.
Unlike the quiet moments of feeding, this instant is about energy, motion, and commitment — the heartbeat between stillness and flight.
My coat, still in the January mirror.
My heart, tense and vicious. One word and life is being tossed in my ventricular system wandering far from commitments and courtrooms, always distracted by that intriguing, mysterious light over there. What is it?
It looks like a new kind of hunger.
I’m sorry to leave this important convo, but i need to know.
A new beginning is nearly here.
“Like the legend of the Phoenix
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planets spinning (uh)
The force from the beginning
We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night to the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky”

Sometimes I get lucky. This pair did not notice me standing with my tripod. They swam up close, completely undisturbed. Their gift presentation was also a gift to me; Clark's Grebes; Aechmophorus clarkii; Santa Margarita Lake; CA; USA
Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928–2000)
Painter, architecture doctor, ecological activist and philosopher
The work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser (born Friedrich Stowasser in Vienna) is one of the most important contributions in the art history of post-war modernism. As an important member of the international avant-garde in Paris in the 1950s, he developed his unique visual language. One of the central motifs of his colorful picture world is the spiral.
If today Hundertwasser is considered one of the most popular European artists of our time, his graphic work has made a great contribution. His goal in the art of graphics was to create variations within one edition, with the result that each sheet of an edition is unique, different in color and design from all others.
Hundertwasser's commitment to a more human architecture in harmony with nature and his visionary ecological commitment developed from his belief in the power of nature and individual creativity. Since the 1980s, he has been realizing architectural projects in which there is the window right and tree tenants, the uneven floor, forests on the roof and spontaneous vegetation. His buildings testify to his commitment to diversity instead of monotony, for romanticism, for the organic and for unregulated irregularities, for spontaneous vegetation and for living in harmony with nature.
At the center of his ecological activities were tree planting and greening campaigns, the restoration of natural cycles, the protection of water and the fight for a waste-free society.
He disseminated his socio-critical and ecological positions with manifestos, letters, speeches and public demonstrations in which he criticized the pure functionality of all areas of life, the uninhibited growth doctrine and the adaptation to social conformism.

While everyone and their brother was out chasing the KCS 4006 on the CN, we hung out on the Ottumwa Sub for the day. I had pondered going home after commitments on Saturday in southern Iowa, but after the boys reaction to this heritage unit, I was glad we stayed. A 25th anniversary unit leads this Chiles, KY, empty working west from Galesburg to Lincoln. The train is about 150 miles from the next crew change point at Creston. We gave chase as the train rolls thru the hogback west of Lockridge along highway 34.

The moment these birds commit to a turn, banking hard with wings fully spread is simply spectacular to witness.

Good morning to all my Flickr family and friends. One of two shots taken from my window today. I am busy with family commitments most of today so blessings to each of you, thanks for visiting:
Commitment
GRIEF CAN TAKE CARE OF ITSELF, BUT TO GET THE FULL VALUE OF A JOY YOU
MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:
subjectivity
creativity
human initiative
If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.
I used to climb a lot of mountains in my youth but I haven't climbed anything for a few years, mainly because of family commitments. However, I felt it was about time I got back to them hills before I lose the ability to walk further than the width of Tesco's car park.
So yesterday I conquered The Cobbler, which sounds grand except that just about everyone who does a hill climbs this at some point. It's a few feet short of 3000 feet, so it's not even a Munro, but you do literally start from sea level and therefore climb every inch of its height.
I did well until the last 500 feet, when the muscles in my legs started telling me, in no uncertain terms, that they had had enough and wanted to go home now thank you very much. I pressed on though and made it to the top, breathless, heart pounding, and trying not to look like a total wreck in front of a young family that looked like they were about to administer first aid to me.
The top is known as The Needle and requires a scramble through a small hole and a climb up the side while dangling over a precarious cliff. I'll post that tomorrow.
Work commitments were favourable enough for me to hang on at Farnborough for this, and I was very glad that I did!

We don’t drift into spiritual life; we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We do not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must set aside time to do nothing but pray. What we actually do reflects our highest priorities. That means that we can proclaim our commitment to prayer until the cows come home, but unless we actually pray, our actions disown our words - D A Carson
Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.
