We lived in Nashville for 3 years and while I was there I met a group of women who have been some of the most influential people in my life. I have been inspired and awed by these ladies. When we moved away they made me this bracelet so I would remember them and wear this as a helping hand. It still means so much to me and I wear it every time I fly in an airplane, I am not superstitious but I have certain meaningful jewelry that I wear when I am taking flight, you know, just in case.
This shot was inspired by today's Shutter Sisters post shuttersisters.com/home/2012/3/14/magic-sand-dollar.html and the composition was inspired by a Design Mom post www.designmom.com/2012/03/diy-clay-charms/
We stopped and hooked on to a group of fellow boaters last night and towed them about 8 miles down the lake to the dock.
A Helping Hand, designed by sculptor Cloyd Barnes, was dedicated on November 30, 2001 and placed at 13th Street and Washington Avenue on May 24, 2001. It is dedicated to F.A. "Heinie" and Barbara Foss in recognition of a lifetime commitment to the Golden community.
The bronze sculpture is part of the Golden Public Art Partnership (GPAP), which was established in July, 1999, as a branch of the Golden Civic Foundation and received funding from the foundation, the City of Golden and from private contributions.

Photograph taken at 11:25am on October 4th 2007 in Trafalgar Square, Central London. The council in their infinite wisdowm long ago made it illegal for the sale of bird seed for the pigeons, an age old tradition that spans generation. But the tourists and British ignore the red tape, and the birds and their seed still find a way!
Compassion of a fellow human being towards a bedraggled and elderly pigeon that just wanted a little food and attention amidst the frenetic London pace.

One of those photographs when luck brings together a frame that you wouldn't have caught otherwise. :-)
Well today I was at a photography workshop and of course the theme per say was working with available light.
Two of us were fortunate to meet up with Mr Ray Doner of the Doner Studio located on Washburn Road in Kingston Ontario. Ray welcomed us to go and photograph his gardens, his studio his property.
The Doner Studio is amazing. The studio was an original mill located along the Rideau Canal. Ray invited us to photograph his poppies in the garden, the canal from the studio and the studio itself. He told us of the history of the mill and at least, I for sure, could have spent countless hours there photographing his studio and the fantastic metal creations.
If you haven't been to Doner Studio and are in the Kingston area, I would highly recommend you go there just to see the history being brought back to life in a modern day studio and to enjoy Ray Doner's very informative conversation of the history of his now home here in Eastern Ontario.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments however, awards and invites aren't necessary.

Original photo by Kristi Stone. Thanks to SkeletalMess for use of his texture: Grunge 1 here www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/3504786188/
Editing steps used in Photoshop Elements 8:
Created new 12x12 file, selected the original file and used the move tool to move into new file and resized to fit.
Add New Adjustment Layer - Levels, set using Auto Levels
Duplicated photo layer and applied a High Pass Filter with a radius of 50.0, set to Overlay at 100%, this brought out all the wonderful textures in the boots.
Applied Layer Mask to the High Pass layer and masked out the background foliage so it would not be as detailed.
Layer>>New Fill Layer>>Solid Color...navy blue #06022e set to Exclusion at 100%
Layer>>New Fill Layer>>Solid Color...brown #221605 set to Soft Light at 42%
Added the texture layer twice, the first as Overlay at 100% and the second as Hard Light at 72%

Back Story .........................................
This is the least graphic of her wounds.
The information you are about to receive is based on
facts and my opinion.Through sign language with the
nuns and no# 1's translation from the nuns a story line
has been put together about the actual event that took
place yesterday at the monkey mountain.
A call last night from the nuns alerted us that Mama
had been attacked by crazed apes and is in trouble.
No# 1 wife is translating info to me from the nuns then
my reply back to the nuns as to what first-aid procedures
to apply in order to save Mamas life.You can read about it
in the comment section under the photo " Showing Respect ."
When Mama didn't show up for dinner time a full press search
started with the 3 nuns, Legs the Zoomer, Stubby and Mr Rocky.
It was Legs The Zoomer that found Mama laying in the entrance
to a small cave surrounded by heavy foliage about 2-300 meters
from the nuns place.
IMO, Mama was so badly injured she crawled there to die !
Why was Mama out in the jungle by herself ? Again, IMO,
Mama is, and has always been a very independent dog.
This is her kingdom and she always wanders about freely.
Once Legs found Mama she raced back to the nuns, then
back to Mama. Rocky followed Legs and stayed with Mama
as Legs once again raced back to the nuns while Mr Rocky
continued to bark until the nuns finally showed up.
Mama was covered in blood, couldn't stand and was near death!
Here's a side-note:
Mama has recently moved in with the nuns and no longer
stays at The Dog Palace. Now think about this. If Mama
was still living at The Dog Palace nobody would have known
Mama was missing and she most likely would have died all by
herself in that cave ! ..;-(
At 5AM I was already in motion. Sidecar packed with supplies
and special stuff no# 1 had cooked for the nuns.
Trip out took for ever as my mind continued to ask questions.
Only way to get answers is to get there and do a hands on.
Figured Mama would be at the nuns as they said all 3 of them
would be watching her all throughout the night, they did.
Upon my arrival at The Dog Palace Rocky came racing out
to greet me as the gate was being unlocked, thought that
was a bit odd ? Once the scooter/sidecar was put in place
and a bunch of stuff was gathered into my hands I started
for the bingo room. Rocky kept coming back and poking me
while walking up the steps to the first landing. Walked around
the corner and there's Mama laying in front of the bingo room.
Fresh blood leaking from wounds, dried blood covering others.
Tears had been and were still running from her eyes and a very
sad expression was on her usually smiling face.Mamas in Pain !
Dropped to my knees and gently started doing a quick inspection.
This didn't look good, not good at all. Grabbed my first-aid
kit from the bingo room and started in addressing what was
visible. Deep deep puncture wounds, long deep lacerations.
Torn flaps of raw flesh, but no spurting bright red blood flow.
Where she was laying had blood but not thick layers of blood.
Rocky is very concerned as he continues to lick my ear
and sniff at his mom while prancing about as if saying.
"Hurry, fix my mom, please hurry and stop her pain!"
Mama placed her head in the palm of my hand and
pressed down heavily sending her own message for
help !
IMO, Mama came to the bingo room to say good by !

I love that this was a moment snapped from our "day after" session with Jen & Cody (fyi, it's not THE day after, but A day after the wedding where we get the Bride/Groom stuff that schedules just didn't allow without a first look). We were running around doing our thing in Cordelia Park near Uptown Charlotte when Cody spotted this boy having trouble with his bike (while his friends rode up & down beside him, waiting to move on). Cody didn't hesitate to go over & offer to help the boy fix his chain, as if he was the neighbor's kid he's grown up beside his whole life. THIS.. this is the kind of person I'm honored to work with, be a part of their lives, and to now call friends. This ranks up there in capturing the essence of Cody just as much as any "sunset kissy" pic ever could. That's why we'll never shy away from the path that leads away from "blog-able" images... because sometimes, your biggest honor in capturing someone is a moment like this. Love it.
