Tri-colored Heron foraging on Horsepen Bayou.
I am truly looking forward to getting a few more shots like this in the future. Wanted to wait till after my visit with the surgeon and my latest check-up. He’s every bit as pleased as I am and hopefully, I’ll be back on the water very quickly. He lifted all of the restrictions on me and I am free to return to all of my activities. The eyes are in perfect working order and it will be a completely different view though the lens of the camera. I should be able to spot things a bit better in the wild and then it’s up to me to make the best of those moments.
It will likely be a couple of weeks before I can feel comfortable being the motor in that 16 foot long canoe. It’s also the middle of summer and since I’ve not exercised much over the past month, I’ll have to adjust to those outdoor activities during the heat. I’ll be just fine.
The only other issue is that I will need a pair of reading glasses and some glasses for working on the computer. In the past I needed to be about a foot away from the monitor to see things clearly, but now have the monitor shoved as far away as possible so that things are nice and sharp. Will have to see how challenging adjusting the camera will be. Only time will tell. It will be a month before the final evaluation will take place as it takes time for the eyes to heal. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos and my photos a bit more clearly. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead. Want to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and prays and know that they are deeply appreciated.
Thank you so very much.
Peace.

We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.

A very warm, but fun day at the Prince George's County Equestrian Center.
The PVDA's "Dressage for Life"
Forward swept wings are an obvious feature of both the S-37 (left) from Russian and the X-29 (right) from the US. The latter was purely intended as a research aircraft and to save costs and because it didn't have to carry weapons or combat systems, the aircraft could be made quite small. The Sukhoi design was intended to eventually replace the Su-27 Flanker as Russia's air superiority fighter, and consequently was supposed to have a long range and advanced sensor systems and it had an internal weapons bay. As a result it's a big beast. Both of these models were built at the same scale of roughly 1/40, so the size comparison is realistic.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Personal Notes, April, 1940
"During dusk, we pushed forward, towards Daugavpils in our Type 36. The artillery holes were large, but I am glad we're the secondary line. While the 3rd and 4th armies were containing the Russian forces in Rezekne, we were directed towards Daugavpils to take out their supply chains and to make a returning offensive, where the Captain says we'll either be going down into Belorussia or up to Ostrov.
Belorussia has been lost, at least in the south. We may have to turn south, but I have a hope that we may also head towards Vitebsk, and fight our way to Pskov, and maybe even Leningrad.
I am just worried that we may be unleashing the beast."

So basically, these guys are pwning the commies.
For now.

Also, don't mind the shed in the background.

First day of British Summer Time,what a way to enter, have not been in this spot since the clocks were similar last year, just one perfect eve to watch and soak it all in.
Summer now feels like it's on "fast forward" - days noticeably shorter, hints of Fall color in the trees and cool Fall fragrances come through, in between the waves of heat, in the air. This is a single, huge Common Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) with flowers showing all the bloom/life cycles.
I took this photo a couple of weeks ago and quite like how it turned out apart from the lighting. Bearing that in mind I liked the relaxed feel of the photo. I was wearing a Per Una top and a skirt from the sadly missed East company.
Hopefully the Astra Zeneca vaccine will be approved in the U.K. today and we can start vaccinations in earnest and start beating the virus.
Stay Safe,

Mock-Up of Tote bag being produced for Design Event at The Baltic. Oct 2011. Will be a limited edition of 20 - entirely hand-made / hand-pinted bags, being sold exclusively at the event.
Sometimes the path forward is not as clear as we wish it to be, but forward we must go.
Walking in the woods helps me clear my mind and focus it on what must be done.
Enjoy your week and take time to clear your thoughts a focus on what’s important.
Cheers,
Wade
