My dad took us to Cirque Du Soleil on my birthday this year. Seeing the smiles and amazed faces of my children; Spending quality time with my parents; Attending an entertaining event. These memories will last longer than any item I could have received.
This holiday season I'll be trying to give experiences instead of presents. As a bonus, this means very little time squished into shopping malls.
A related recent presents conversation with my son...
Sam - "What experience are you going to give me?"
Me - "The privilege of cleaning the upstairs bathroom."
Sam - "I think I'll re-gift that one."
When visiting the amazing Aros art gallery recently in the centre of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, I was transfixed by a resident artist creating an impressive new art work in the moment. I was not the only one captivated by this. I think the couple in the 'front row' had been there for a while also enjoying the experience. I noticed they both wore glasses. I was waiting for the split second where you could follow both their sight with the direction of their glasses firmly at the artist. And it happened. A special moment.
Siento la necesidad de desconectar de internet y de todo lo que eso conlleva; de las redes sociales o antisociales, como quieran llamarlas…
Creo que me tomaré ese tiempo (no sé si largo o corto) para conectar conmigo misma.

Without a doubt, the alpinism is an amazing experience with a little bit of adrenaline dose and outstanding landscapes.
This image is taken during the ascent to Island Peak. After a big snowstorm, nobody had come at the summit, because a lot of snow. However, we decided to try. All in all, it was going to be an authentic adventure.
Sin duda alguna el alpinismo es una emocionante experiencia con un toque de adrenalina e impresionantes paisajes.
Esta imagen fue tomada durante el ascenso al Island Peak. Después un gran tormenta de nieve, nadie había conseguido llegar a la cima por la gran cantidad de nieve. No obstante, decidimos intentarlo. Con todo, iba a ser una gran aventura.

While trying to follow Mom this moose calf walked into a swift moving stream and was swept away. Luckily it found footing and got out of the water.

A few years back I had a unique photographic experience. I came across 2 foxes that were running along the side of the road. They did not seem to mind my presence, and so I walked with them for about an hour, before they decided to split up and wonder down different trails in the park. I went with one of the foxes, and we walked down and back along a marsh trail for over an hour, he hunting for voles while I tried to capture the moments. During that hour he caught 14 voles (hungry fellow) and provided me with over 500 pictures during the 2 1/2 hours I spent in total with the two of them...

TIA for all comments.
Taken underwater the other day. This model had red hair and I was tempted to go very "Little Mermaid" with it but decided to against it. The reflection in this one was interesting to me and the flow of the fabrics...it seemed very much like a butterfly spreading its wings, so I played with it a little bit..
I hope that a creative week will be had by all! I've been a bit...tired lately. Just fatigued. But I'm hoping that I can get my energy up enough to create lots of different pictures this week. And with any luck (meaning if I can fix my car in time) I'll be in the grand canyon this time next week.

I had the most wonderful 'otter experience' yesterday. I've been going to American Canyon for 3 years and saw my first otter 3 days ago, but was told that there were three otters. Approaching the water you could here chirping, but seeing the whole family was a big surprise. For over an hour I watched them play and frolicked in the water taking an occasional rest on this little beach...what a joy it was to watch. This is one of the parents and their 3 young pups.
Thank you for your visit and comments!
My first trip with a cruiser, a very special cruiser... I was on some ferries, but no longer than 22 hours. In the past 2 weeks we were 12 days on a trip from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. It was a new experience to travel with Hurtigruten and I shot a lot of pics. Stay tuned!
The "Caminito del Rey" is an awesome walkway constructed on the steep and deep cliffs of the "Desfiladero de los Gaitanes", a canyon in Andalusia, southern Spain. Originally built near the end of the 19th century and in serious state of decay, the path was off limits until a mayor restoration was undertaken only recently. Now, visitors can safely enjoy the breathtaking views and experience the excitement of just having a few planks, or this glass floor balcony (!) beneath their feet preventing a sheer drop of over 300ft... Well worth a visit, but not for those with more than casual vertigo.

this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."
