Anita and I have been to Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens four times now. There is usually something different to see each time, be it artwork or flowers but this time my main goal was the butterfly house. I was interested in getting shots of flying butterflies but I have to say this is really difficult to accomplish. Fun trying though! The males of the Blue Morpho are bright blue on the inside of those wings. The blue morpho is among the largest butterflies in the world, with wings spanning from five to eight inches. See one of my (many) attempts at a flight shot in first comment box.

It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.

 

However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.

Si, lo que veis es un puente helado e inestable que debíamos cruzar para llegar al objetivo: la cima del Island Peak.

Mientras lo cruzábamos con paso firme y rápido, notábamos como crujía por debajo nuestro. Esto por supuesto te sube las pulsaciones ya de por sí bastante aceleradas en esas latitudes. Lo malo era que había que volver a cruzarlo a la vuelta.

Yes, this is a frozen and unstable bridge which we had to cross to reach the goal: the summit of Island Peak.

While we were crossing it with a firm and quick step, we noticed as crunched beneath us. Certainly it raised us the keystrokes, which are regularly fairly accelerated in these latitudes. The trouble was that he had to recross to return.

I'm no believer in any silly religious crap, so don't take this the wrong way. But this morning when I arose, I was pleased as can be to see that we had had a bit of rain last night. As you know, California has been in drought much too much. Not only that, but the valley in which I live has suffered from wildfires even though they have occurred hundreds of miles from us. The smoke has been miserable, and for that reason I've not gone on a morning walk for awhile, as I feared the inhalation of particulate matter might be doing more damage than the forsaking of exercise. Thus it was a beautiful opportunity to be out and about. So, that's my Thanksgiving story. Merry Thanksgiving to all of you who do that thing.

Three stink bugs are competing. The leader will reach the goal soon.

So here we are... achievement unlocked: 7000 followers. Thank you all, truly, I'm overwhelmed with the love <3.

 

Some of us have personal goals that we set for ourselves, long ago, I had descided that this was it, and now that I'm here... I'm not really sure what to do with myself.

 

A few things are coming to mind: Continue blogging for a few of my long-term sponsors and events, possibly get back into creating some new BOM stuff, or straight out retire.

 

Maybe it's a ten year itch, a Mid-(second)Life-Crisis... who knows, it will likely pass... just know that I have no more expectations of myself or anyone else, it's super empowering.
