This vacant barn sandwiched between a storm and peeks of the sun, gives off a calm assurance that it has persevered through many storms. My German father raised 8 kids on a small farm, never had much and faced a lot of challenges. But he instilled in us a phrase, "we'll get through it" that still serves us well.

Vacation finally arrived and my husband, Bernie and I went out to visit Bonaventure Island. This Quebec Provincial Park, located in Percé Quebec, is the largest Northern Gannet colony in North America.
Gannets are members of the sulidae family. Over 125,000 Gannets arrive at Bonaventure Island in April to reproduce.
They mate for life, each year returning to the same nest, both parents take turn brooding their single egg during 45 days.
The pairs greet each other ceremoniously whenever one of them returns from sea.
In October, the gannets depart for the Gulf of Mexico.
These magnificent seabirds symbolize lifelong faithfulness.
Making a portrait from time to time, makes me feel happy.
Especially when it comes unexpected: This lady was sitting in her window, looking for fresh air, which she couldn't find in her dark and far from airy city apartment.
The White throated Sparrows are going through their molt now, getting all fresh and lovely for the breeding season

The one24thscale team will return in full force, soon. In the meantime, Ken thought it would be a good idea to show you some work in progress.
Ever since we began the forced perspective experiment, the most sharp-eyed amongst our viewers have noted, "Your cars and trucks are all too clean!" As though, keeping your car neat and tidy were a crime for Detroit's sake.
In an effort to address this request by, oh let's be honest, mostly family members, some models are getting some weathering.
This John Deere GP is ready for spring plowing and some forced perspective photography.

Oystercatchers lifting off from the drained boating lake in the park. Every two years the local authority drains the lake through a sluice gate into the harbour. They then leave the gate open for a few days to flush it. At some point during this time, there is usually a littler pick in the mud, which is always fun. There are always small fish in the lake, so every two years some of the birds have a field day, as everything is easier to catch.
I took this shot a few seconds after my previous post!
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to visit, comment and fave - I appreciate it!
Fishermen get their nets ready for next round of bounty.

In Italia la più alta prevalenza di persone affette da Hiv in Europa occidentale
In occasione della giornata mondiale, l’Università La Sapienza di Roma organizza un convegno, in collaborazione con il Cesvi – associazione umanitaria impegnata da più di dieci anni nel contrasto della malattia in Africa – per informare, soprattutto i giovani, su prevenzione e rischi di trasmissione della malattia, per esempio da madre sieropositiva a neonato. “La trasmissione verticale rappresenta la principale via di contagio dell’Hiv in età pediatrica – sottolinea Giangi Milesi, presidente Cesvi -. Dal 2009 al 2012 il numero di nuove infezioni tra i bambini è diminuito del 40%, grazie ai servizi d’informazione e alla distribuzione di farmaci antiretrovirali”. Tra i temi discussi al convegno della Sapienza anche il rischio attuale connesso all’epidemia nel nostro Paese.
Secondo l’Unaids, infatti, l’Italia, con oltre 1000 decessi l’anno, è il Paese con la più alta prevalenza di persone affette da Hiv in Europa occidentale. Complessivamente, sono circa 140mila gli italiani sieropositivi, il 15-25% dei quali non è al corrente della propria condizione. Gli italiani dimostrano, però, di sapere quanto importante è stata la ricerca in campo farmacologico nella lotta all’Aids. Secondo l’indagine Eurisko, uno su due dichiara che oggi, rispetto al passato, la malattia è più controllabile. A partire dal 2001, infatti, secondo i dati dell’Unaids, i nuovi contagi da Hiv si sono ridotti del 38%. Nel 2013 sono stati quasi 3 milioni e mezzo in meno rispetto al 2001. Anche i decessi sono in calo, circa 1 milione e mezzo nel 2013, un milione in meno rispetto al 2005. Merito di una migliore prevenzione e dei progressi nelle ricerca sulle terapie antiretrovirali.
Circa l’80% dei contagi è attribuibile a rapporti sessuali non protetti, ma solo il 35% dei ragazzi e delle ragazze in Italia usa il preservativo
The little guys are getting so much bigger. Had to get the tripod out to get a nicer one. I think a few more days until they decide to leave the nest.
As we return home, truly exhausted and blessed by another adventure, it is time to sit at the computer and see what was captured by the camera, in this case at 1/4000 of a second.
When friends suggested about a year ago that we attend the 2025 Calgary Stampede, the largest rodeo in the world, Jo and I emphatically said yes. I normally become nauseated at the thought of photographing people…but when they are being tossed about by animals…I’m perfectly ok with that!
Seats were secured so that I could shoot directly into the gates as they opened, a brilliant move except that they were metal bleachers. Capturing 700+ shots were the only thing keeping me from screaming out in pain from bleacher butt*!
As I start the editing process and deciding what to keep and what to share, I came across this shot maybe 20 keeper shots in. I’m leading off with this shot as a PERFECT example of how important it is in photography to get the shot! Sometime JOANN one must do stupid things (In this case a cameraman for broadcasting the stampede) to secure the capture no matter what is coming at you! The red shirt might have been a bad choice for that guy!
*Everyone knows that a bad case of old man bleacher butt is much worse than anything those bulls and broncs were putting on those young cowboys. It is considered by experts to be worse that childbirth!

Our city's Bon Soo Winter Carnival will be starting soon (Feb 1 - 10). Unfortunately, the weather has been terrible for the workers trying to prepare the children's Winter Playgound. On Tuesday it poured rain all day - real mess! Then on Wednesday, our whole city was shut down by a blizzard. So today, Thursday, I drove by and saw this poor fellow trying hard to get this area ready for the opening this weekend! Kids love this part of the carnival as is has the ever famous "bum slides". I hope to post more photos of it once the carnival is in full swing.

Looking back at the top portion of the John Haynes Ridge trail where we had climbed up from the North Prong Spur trail. You can see evidence of dust in the air, the wind was blowing through the night before and continued with gusts up to 50 mph. Trails were getting scoured of any loose dirt.
Sometimes you've got to get into the water to get the shot you had in mind. Seen from up on the mezzanine level at Nathan Phillips Sq.
Thoreau once said "Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
I'm not on a bad path, but something significant is missing.. my love and respect for me. It's time to take that deep breath and jump, it's time to focus on me - not what others want me to be, or what others think that I want for me. It's time to be selfish and do something just for me. So here it is, my challenge to myself - a pic a day for 2017. I can't promise they'll all be good, I can promise some will likely be rushed, but it's the trying that matters.. right?
Not a new path, just a parallel path in the dirt. Lets see where this goes...
Dont get me wrong
If Im looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Dont get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Dont get me wrong
Dont get me wrong
If Im acting so distracted
Im thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Dont get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
Im only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But theres something in the air
Dont get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Dont get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of passion
It might be unbelievable
But lets not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Dont get me wrong
Don't get me wrong, The Pretenders
