Day 173 [6-21-2016]
Back in the photo game. I woke up this morning fully recharged with all of my energy. Work was filled with things to do and was such a fun time. It flew by like nothing. After work George asked to go out on a little photo adventure so we drove over to Cohasset and parked at one of the beaches just in time for golden hour. We climbed up on the rocks and witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets in a long time. It is days like these that I am able to fully appreciate the beauty of the world. It feels good to be back.
Can't wait to see what the next day brings!
For the big benefit we're having for moms cancer fundraiser tomorrow (Sunday). Mom says I gotta look my best and be a good boy. Of course I'm a good boy mom! We're so excited, this going to be a fun day.

After seeing a mention by Stephen Downes of a presentation he did for the 2023 Open Education Conference called Open Learning in the Fediverse which is now, thanks to Dr Tesla, the hot topic.
For some reason I felt an urge to remix the opening credits to a favorite show when I was a kid, Get Smart.
Okay, there is a low resolution image in Wikimedia Commons declared as fair use, for which my use here is likely not a qualifier. Hmmm, How about a case of parody? To the copyright holders, if anything, my use might offer more people to look up this classic show, watch, and appreciate what a treasure it was. My use is not o steal or take away from Get Smart but to honor it.
Who owns popular culture? The rules are not written into law, so my remix is likely the most legal. But I will roll the dice.
My source was a screen grab from the YouTube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ6gdRfBW6c where I used Photoshop to copy brush out the SMART letters, and replicate with a font guess (Georgia) for the words "Federated".
Is this changed enough from the original? Leave it to the lawyers.

Today I meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same time. We have just had some lunch and now we are wanting to watch the feeding of the Pelicans here at back doors of the Charis Seafood shop. this all happen around 1.30pm except for Mondays.
The Pelicans start arriving hour or so before and wait around for their fed of fish. The fish carcass are tossed into the air, most get one fish and move off but some wait around for some more!.
Getting into it: time for the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Three packs of stinky, gooey concoctions of herbs and whatnot are applied to different areas of my two legs. They are left on for four hours. After they have been taken off, the pain in each area has increased dramatically. Understandably, I asked them not to do that again.
This was something that I quickly made earlier today for an event we're hosting in August for RMAI Pastors within our district.
This is the screen graphic version of a flyer that had a lot more info, so I opted to upload the prettier version.
We've got a little bit before the event, so if you guys have any thoughts on how to improve this a bit, I'd appreciate the feedback!
as i went further up, i met two other climbers who were coming down from the summit. by then the clouds were all around us and they told me "it's horrible up there!" and were worried that i attempted to go up alone. i knew they were right, because you need crampons and maybe ice axes for the last part (i didn't have those with me) and also the wind became really really strong and sight was getting worse. i told them i would only go as far as there is solid rock for me to stand on and that's what i did. everything further would have been stupid.
so that was it, my ~85% climb of mt. taranaki. it definitely was fun, although i never had areal chance to make it to the top. if i ever come back to new zealand, i will do the whole thing! :]
the moment i was back at north egmont, i decided to do one of the tramps around the mountain. i went for the three day pouakai circuit. there will be some more pictures from this trip which will be the absolutely last of my new zealand pictures.. D':
The Marg boys do a crafty sashay to get their work done quick in Camphora so they can get on home on this short turning day.

There is a quote which says: "You're born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes".. This fish made a BIG mistake by swimming in front of a Heron!
76/365. So I finally got the mixture perfect. My jets are great, but now I just get some crazy funky collisions. Some of them are cool I guess. I will continue to explore, but I would LOVE any advice or guidance! Right now I am using the 5mm brass nozzle. Does anyone use the larger one?
This is a Sandhill Crane that I saw at Circle B ranch in Lakeland, Florida. They flew in and landed right in front of me and started vocalizing as I approached. I got the idea that they would prefer me to leave.
You wouldn't believe how loud they are. I was about 8-12 feet away and I got as I could with 300mm. They weren't really moving away, just side to side constantly turning away from me.
I also had to keep my eyes open and not fall in the water while I am looking through my viewfinder chasing and dancing around these birds, trying to get a photo. Ha!

To get from Nice to London, I opted to fly on British Airways. A decade earlier, I was a BA Gold Card member. I booked this NCE-LHR without much enthusiasm, aware that the cheeseparing regime of former CEO Alex Cruz had imposed draconian cuts to the airline’s standards of comfort and service. The Economy Class seat-pitch had been tightened to an unacceptable 29 inches (Ryanair offers better) and food was strictly buy-on-board. So I forked out $672 for a 1-way Club Class ticket for a 31-inch seat pitch and free scoff. This was the food offering - OK, but nothing to excite the palate. The service was OK, but ditto: BA cabin staff can be friendly or totally aloof and even perfunctory. The flight was punctual and I had no issues with checked-in luggage. I give it a 7/10 rating, but I won’t rushing back to BA anytime soon.

This is my response to the "get pushed "challenge by leadingedgephotography- who has such a great variety of photo techniques in her stream. She asked me to do a concept shot based on these lyrics:
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
Well I never do concept shots- I am much more concrete, and even though what I came up with has certainly been done before by many other people, this push made me think. And that's good.
It's dark - the sun had been down for a while and the rain clouds were coming in. Still, a beautiful evening in Algonquin Provincial park.
It took about an hour but I got so that I could get within about forty feet of the western meadow larks today. Left click for more detail.

He looked at me as if saying to me, "Get your camera ready, I'm about to start my act" :)
Praise the Lord for a chance to visit HK again after 5 years, even if it was just for 3 days. :)
Our landscaper, Zack, came twice today to plow the driveway. We shoveled the cars out this evening and Zack will be back to clean out the driveway again once the cars are out of there tomorrow ... uh-huh ... ka-ching.
Getting in close on butterflies, one thing that strikes me is how very hairy they are. This small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) sports a pretty furry coat, really.
A flock of 15 Rosyfaced Lovebirds were having a very noisy get-together on our neighbour's roof. By the time I had finished fiddling with lens, camera, exposure blabla, only 9 were left. But still....I felt pretty chuffed to have managed this snapshot at least.
Edit: Added to Wing Wednesday three years later....
Never found a group like this again. Still chuffed. ;-)
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This kid is getting older all the time, especially since he's quickly fitting into his older brothers' clothes. Playing around with a 70D & 85mm f/1.8 for www.CanonRumors.com enjoying them both so far.
