If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. Its your restlessness that causes chaos.

Just not getting time to take shots, or visit Flickr. I'm so sorry. Hopefully, this fog will lift soon!

Lets see but say goodbye to the umbrella first. Maybe it'll come back.

I was walking up Toronto’s Yonge Street and he passed me on the sidewalk going the other way. I didn’t have time to react but a moment later I realized that his friendly face made me want to meet him and invite him to be part of my Human Family project. Fortunately, he paused long enough for me to catch up and explain what I’m doing and that I would like to photograph him for the project. He had a bemused, but friendly look on his face and said “Sure.” Meet Cleon.
The closest decent spot for a portrait was a covered sidewalk protected from a construction site by scaffolding. Cleon didn’t mind backtracking a bit because it was only about 3-4 storefronts away and he said he was in no particular hurry. Photographing him was easy because of his relaxed, friendly personality. I simply took a few photos while pedestrians walked around us and we were done. Cleon was very tall so I had to hold my camera above me and use the “live view” on the back of the camera.
Cleon is 42 and he works in construction which made sense when I felt his strong handshake. He was born and raised in the famed Montego Bay, Jamaica but came to Canada 12 years ago looking for better opportunity and a good lifestyle. Our encounter was brief but very friendly. When I asked how his friends would describe him he said “Probably easy-going.” I would agree with that. Cleon’s message to the world: “Stick to your goals and things should work out.”
Thank you Cleon for the opportunity of meeting and for helping out with my Human Family project on Flickr. I hope Canada is living up to your expectations. Judging by the relaxed smile on your face, I can only conclude that it is.
This is my 196th submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

Like a little feather that floats in the air we all have dreams and expectations for the year ahead.For me,one of the best would be(like i mentioned a couple shots before) for my son David to have a great time and be inspired in March when we travel to London for his trials at West Ham United.Football(soccer)is a big thing in his life and this is just a great opportunity.Personally my goals are to keep healthy and in terms of photography i will be posting a lot more variety...planning on doing wildlife,landscape,etc..Another thing that i really need to learn is Photoshop to unleash my creativity :)Just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12 from version 8!!!!My knowledge of photoshop is so limited and i want 2014 to be the year where i finally learn to use this powerful tool...i want to have a bit of fun with it :)
What about you my friends...do you have a goal for 2014?Hope your dreams come true...all the best :)

Great Expectations (Team Canada) was the winning sculpture from the 2012 International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge Colorado. It's a sculpture of an ice fisherman sitting in front of his hut. The sculpture to the right is Correfoc (Team Catalonia-Spain). I really like the colored led lights they added to the show last year.
Whenever Poeka comes in, she is chased by a very enthusiastic Billy. The fact that she runs from him and hisses and growls at him hardly impresses him. With Pip he behaves a lot quieter. Here he is sitting on the doormat looking up at Poeka who has sought refuge on the window sill where Billy can't reach her ...... yet.
Social tango dancing
Social etiquette has always confounded me. It gets even trickier at a milonga.
After a dozen tango classes, I attended a milonga (social dance) at my studio. I thought it would be full of friendly, familiar faces, but that was not so. I recognized two people, one of whom was the owner. I chatted with some ladies, but spent the first two hours sitting. (With the exception of one, terrible dance.) It was not turning out to be the night I’d hoped for.
Thankfully, my friend Jerry turned up by 11 and led me for a tanda (three songs). After that, I sat very little and danced with multiple partners. It was as if I needed to be “shown off” on the floor before I’d be asked to dance.
The tango social rules are confusing and frustrating. As a follower, I am not “supposed” to ask a leader to dance. I just have to sit and wait. (Although I later learned that I was supposed to be making eye contact to prompt an invitation.) As an outsider, the leaders were hesitant to dance with me, being unsure of my skill level. I try to view it as a social experiment, but the rules and expectations can be discouraging.
I refuse to be discouraged, though. Next time, I’m going to try the eye contact trick and see how it goes. And I’ll continue taking classes and improving.

I can't remember exactly the sequence of events but with some distance between the two parties, Bruce approached me. Looking back, I could see there were signs from when we first discussed his ill fitting shoes in Wanaka but at this stage in the journey I did not expect it.
We continued a short distance to where Ion and Conor were standing and Bruce spoke up. He wanted to turn back. It was taking me some time to process the information. What this meant for the rest of us was still undecided. Bruce was happy to have come this far and I must admit the view even from this point was pretty amazing with the cloud filled valleys, mountain peaks all around us and the sunrise colours filling the sky. If it ended here it was still pretty amazing.
Bruce had had a big year leading up to this for various reasons and as a result felt that he wasn't fit enough or in the right head space to attack the next stage and wanted to give us the best possible chance to summit. He wanted to bring it up here before we started ascending the ramp and became that extra level committed.
A discussion ensued between the four of us and while I was't entirely happy with the situation I had to support the decision. Going up further on the mountain with thoughts of turning back was not a good place to be. The problem was that if he turned back he still had a long distance back to the hut navigating numerous crevasses...and they were only the ones we could see. The only positive for the walk back was that our tracks from the hike up were still visible.
I felt torn. The walk back alone for Bruce was not ideal and I resigned myself to going back with him for safety reasons. This would mean Ion and Conor could continue their ascent. But Bruce didn't want that. From further conversation I could see that he didn't want this to bring an end to my attempt at the summit. But his safety was still my concern.
In this stunning place on the edge of a mountain in the middle of this vast and inspiring panorama decisions were made.
