There's so much excitement and anticipation at the start of the whale season.... when will I see my first whale? When will sightings become consistent? breaches? anything?!? After a little more than a week of well, not seeing whales (equating to a whole lot of heart break) I got my whale. We spent last sunday afternoon with a mother and calf. After spending some time with the pair, the call was made to leave. As usual, you make the call and the fireworks start :)

Today is my last day in America. Tomorrow, I leave for Hong Kong to study abroad for 5 months. I've never done anything quite like this before, and I have no idea what to expect. Out of this mystery comes excitement, concern, but most notably wonder for what this distant place will show me

*explored on 14/09/15,* much excitement ensued :)
This past week has been orientation week for Western
university, and it's been way too busy to be able to produce any decent work so I haven't. I didn't think I was a perfectionist but maybe it's something i've got to work on.
Aren't self portraits so hard to take? it's impossible to get them in focus AND in the pose that you like, seriously, this was the best out of 96 photos that I took one hungover Sunday morning.
It's really strange, I didn't think I was ever very vain but in photographing myself i'm noticing all my flaws, and i'm noticing how much I hate them. I guess i can finally relate to teenage girls.
Thankfully I've been able to restart my project today and hopefully there won't be any more interruptions.

It's with both great excitement and sorrow that I must announce the end of the MRU brand and the launching of the Minifig Co. brand. Due to various circumstances and other logistical paths, a new brand was needed. What does this mean? Basically all the same goodness that came from MRU, remains and is now under a new name. You'll find all contact info, and web addresses have changed.
Onto a great 2017!

Kyoto Imperial Garden is a little oasis of the city, where locals and travellers get together and celebrate beauty of mature trees and flowers. A little excitement increases during a cherry season. The garden is packed by photographers. Literary every single visitor gets a camera and try to capture its beauty. Blooming cherries attract all the visitors, and they can get really fanatic about flowers! Kyoto Imperial Garden is one of my best favourite gardens, where anyone can use a tripod while a majority of gardens do not allow in Kyoto. The garden is always opened and for anyone!

After my excitement yesterday over seeing an Eastern Bluebird at the mealworm feeder, I claimed it was a "Blue Monday" and fingers were crossed for a Blue Tues, Blue Wed, etc.
Well, I got my wish, and then some! I actually spotted two Bluebirds at the mealworm feeder at the same time - but wasn't able to get a shot, but there were plenty more sightings. Caught this one in a tree just outside our sunroom window, no doubt waiting for an opening at that mealworm feeder.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
The start is almost here...LibertಠJourneys--I've been waiting for this moment. Check out www.bullringfamily.com for more info about this epic and magical event.

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

Not a particularly promising morning on my favourite Scottish beach and I could not really have expected much of a sunrise, which made this sudden and dramatic appearance of a crimson slash in a stormy sky amidst the twilight blue of pre-dawn so incredible appealing. I was with a small group of photographers on a course at the time and the excitement was palpable.

Get out your tissues before reading the following. On our last morning at Bosque del Apache, out of nowhere appeared a Greater Roadrunner, the bird we were focused on finding and photographing. And he was walking toward us with a mouse in his bill. This was the break of a lifetime and my wife and I quickly starting shooting. He got closer and closer until he was within fifteen feet of us when he disappeared into the brush. The sad part for me was later, when I looked at my shots, I realized that, in my excitement, I had kept my 100-400mm lens locked at 100mm. Thus, instead of filling the frame with a super-sharp image, I have this. The good news is that my wife got fabulous, full-frame shots. Please don't send sympathy cards. I have gotten over it (but it took a while). The other Roadrunner species, the Lesser Roadrunner, which is smaller, is a native of Mexico and Central America.
fusion tokamak plasma?! ... or maybe something else?
...like a combination of a wide-angle long exposure ICM (intentional camera movement) shot from deep in the woods, some reflection, refraction details, a few textures and some fun colour processing.
I don't think I have enough fun, upbeat photos of Bebe. She usually looks bored or uninterested, which is perfect for serious shots. However, she does have a silly side to her that comes out sometimes. She gets especially excited for car rides and will literally shake from excitement for long periods of time before settling down.
Imagine (if you can) the excitement that little "Ha-Ha" (aka 22 month old Harley) exhibited when the Masterton - Wellington train, hauled by a big rumbling General Motors Canadian-built locomotive, came to a halt right beside him - AND the Driver / Engineer waved to him...!
Harley had a grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear...!
The Masterton train is a long distance Limited Stops express "suburban" train which connects Wellington and the Hutt Valley with the rich Wairarapa farming region that lies on the other side of the nearby 8km-long Rimutaka Rail Tunnel. (It takes roughly two hours to travel from Wellington to Masterton)....
The train only paused for a few moments here in Upper Hutt as Passengers got off and Passengers got on, and then - with a short sharp blast of its horn (which made Harley jump), the train continued its journey to Wellington - 45 minutes to the south...
HOLIDAYS :-)
As from Saturday, we'll be on holiday in Havelock (at the head of one of the 'arms' of the South Island's Marlborough Sounds) for a week. If you don't hear from me, know that we're out of Internet range(!) and I'll catch up when we return!
Continue to take care, keep smiling (even if only through clenched teeth), and stay well Folks - and thanks so much for visiting my Site and for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment. It's always nice to hear from you...!
Being a man that dresses up as a woman is, for me, an amazing, incredibly liberating and truly adventurous experience. I love becoming a woman! I love nothing more than putting on make-up, painting my nails, wearing dresses and high heels, it is such a thrilling and delightful sense of freedom. As a woman I feel an inner contentment, a stronger sense of self worth and a real boost to my confidence. I just feel better appearing as a woman than I do as a man.
That may sound like I desperately need to transition but I definitely do not. I do feel more myself appearing in the guise of a woman but I am aware it is all an illusion. I am not a genetic female and I live as a man. I have to acknowledge I am indulging in superficial aspects of femininity, the make-up, the hair, the dresses and the high heel shoes. Wearing these is not in reality the same as actually being a woman. In fact I do have fears that my cross-dressing is offensive to real women. I do have a desire within me to be a female, it has always existed but it is not dominant enough to make me transition. I do need though, to spend time appearing as a woman as part of me gains emotional fulfilment from this.
There is an excitement I experience in the act of daring to cast off my male self and present as a female. There is definitely an element of enjoying the dressing up. I am aware though there is always a sense of relief and contentment in appearing as a woman. There is also huge joy and some sadness as well. The sadness is knowing I am not female. The joy is deluding myself I am finally a woman.
I acknowledge all of that sounds like I am transsexual. I feel I am transsexual to a degree but my male self counters that. I actually like my male life and I truly adore my female moments too. I am aware I need to express my female self now and again and cross-dressing as a woman is my enabler.
In the past I have touched on how I dreamed of being a professional female impersonator in my youth and so my cross-dressing definitely contains a degree of performance as well as fulfilling my deep rooted need to be a woman now and again. I also seem attracted to femininity and favour clothes that are associated with femininity. This causes me to worry I am parodying women. That is not my intention, I adore women but knowing I have an element within me that wants to be a woman I need to dress as a woman and spend time with this part of me unlocked and set free.
I thought these dancing skeletons from The Corpse Bride sum up my expression when I listen to the most recent weather reports. Not sure exactly what is coming right now but one of the last reports said we could get up to 25 inches of snow. This is what I have been waiting for! The snow should start on Friday for us.
