I often wonder how people manage to bike around on all our snowy and icy pathways, but how about doing it on a unicycle?!
Here's my favorite shot from yesterday's stroll over to the Forks, and as expected there were hundreds of people out enjoying the -4 day. Below you'll see some of the sights, including alot of people out for a skate, some at the curling bonspiel and some just, well......enjoying themselves!!
Moving Vietnam Wall Memorial in Dacono, CO. I didn't plan this shot, and was surprised when I found it when I got home. It really sums up the day at the wall for me, the emotion and power of the Wall is all there. If it comes to your town someday, go see it.

Mr Rocky still waiting for Dads gentle touch.
Notice all the dragons and colors, this is all
painted over now but luckily I photographed
a bunch of it beforehand. "The Spirit House."
We're getting closer to the end of the month
and hopefully I can return to the temple soon.
No# 1's brother has kept delivering dog supplies.
The nuns have a key to The Bingo Room which is
at The Dog Palace here at The Monkey Temple ;-)
FYI:
The dog supplies are stored inside The Bingo Room.
Please remember what "Memorial Day" is all about.

... beginning
52 weeks of 2016
Week #1 ~ Every Journey Starts with a ...
Category: Creative
1st week of a new 52 week project. I have an idea to try for an overall concept of connectivity to run through this project. We are all connected to the earth, the environment (built and natural), and to each other. Going to try and show this each week, if I can!
Best of luck to everyone in the group on their journeys through the next 52 weeks.
Together - We make the Difference.

- FYI -
This photo was taken at The Dog Palace
about 24 + hours before Mama had her
first and only litter of puppies. And yes
Mr Rocky was one of the lucky puppies.
Also FYI, Mama has been spayed too ;-)
Today will be spent gathering and preparing
for another run out to the temple in the early
morning. Like in the very dark time of morning.
Travel time usually starts at 5AM or just before.
When I arrive at the temple all the animals are
full of mischief and real hungry. This is good ;-)
There will be extra special food packed just for
Mr Little Larry , Blondie and of course Miss Molly.
One kilo of carrots for Mr Ed is also on board plus
a new pack of special fish food for all the guppies.
And lets not forget all the usual stuff that finds it's
way onto the scooter and ends up out at the temple.
OK -
Soon as this is uploaded there's another job that must
take place real quick. Two funny dogs are bugging me
for a trip out to the mud field in the scooter sidecar ;-0~
Upon our return they get fed, see how that works out ?
Alright time to go, catch y'all on the rebound ;-)~~~

Have you guys seen GATTACA? it's a fairly old movie starring Ethane Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law... I just remembered it suddenly and incorporated it's theme to this photo. No one and nothing can ever exceed the power, determination and strength of the human spirit.
So, Never give up. Never!!!!!!!! LOL
The models are my best buddies, Owen and Adrian helping each other while going down a steep, rocky hill in Palawan, Philippines :)
Have a Blessed Day!
This is my sisters hand. She is a EXCELLENT beekeeper and is helping me learn how to also be a beekeeper with my hive. The more I am around these special insects the more they amaze me! They fly 15 miles per hour. You will not outrun them.ha ha. Another tip I have learned..do not eat a banana when you are going to be around your hive and do not wear axe cologne. They do not like the smell and chances are..you will get stung. It is fascinating to know that bees can remember faces! The Honey Bees are so interesting and so necessary in our world for so many things. The Honey Bees are disappearing and it is a GREAT concern for many beekeepers and scientists around the world.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
This puppy was dropped off many months
ago by the cave with all the Buddha statues.
There has always been a small bag of kibble
in one of my pockets for her.
She was also one of the two dogs attacked
with a knife a couple months ago. Tuff Guy
was the other dog cut badly by a large knife.
She has no name if anyone is willing to give
it a try ?
Thank You.

After that we will play it by ear ;-)

Mr Little Larry The Pipsqueak up on the
roof at The Dog Palace. I'm hand-feeding
him to insure he gets all his food. Blondie
is lurking close by in the chance he can grab
some of Larry's food. Also Mr Larry was getting
a bunch of medications so it's important I do this.
Note:
This photo was taken 11 months ago. I'm going
through older stuff cuz I can't leave right now.
The loaner car had a used water-pump put in.
Problem being the water-pump was all used up.
The used pump was $6 USD, new pump, $66 USD.
We'll keep at this until the loaner is back on the road ?
A few temple dogs are 10 days over due on some
much-needed yearly inoculations for Distemper,

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Mama saying thank you for all the support
so many have sent over time.
Supplies, food, medicines and on going
medical bills for all the temple dogs.
Yesterday there was 37,200 views which was
quite a surprise indeed ............... ;-)
I don't recall ever getting that kind of response
in the past. I believe Tinker Bells photo going
into "explore" had a lot to do with that.
Recently you've heard me describe a situation
here in Thailand that's gone from epidemic to a
rabies virus endemic alert ! We are under attack.
The province we live in is one of the hot spots as
is other provinces that surround us, this is not good!
6 people have died of rabies sense the first of the year.
3 more people were bitten Friday which was 2 days ago.
Now along with Mama, her crew, The Hooligans and BTP
I must get down on bended knee and grovel for help too.
Not for me, but for all the temple dogs who are right now
in need of their rabies updates.Each must be taken into the
dog doctor separately . That means a double round trip to
The Monkey Temple each time a dog goes in.A long process.
Of the 37,200 viewers not one helped with a donation ?
So I'm reaching out to you now, "Hello", "Help !"
Paul Allen, Bill Gates, Anybody !
Our cupboards are empty, everything we do here
depends on your help through donations, without
them the dogs suffer greatly.
Stand By Me.
Thank You.

Abused & Abandoned Street Dogs.
Young Mama up on the roof at The Dog Palace.
As we speak many things are being readied
for tomorrows run to the temple. Plan goes
like this. No# 1 wife will be with me as we
inoculate all the temple dogs with their
monthly medications. Mr Dr Jon and
Dr Mom will be giving shots to
everybody plus checking
for any health issues.
We plan on leaving just after 8AM, why ?
Because there's no way in hell that I will
jeopardize my wife in the crazy traffic
in the dark time. 5AM 4 me is really
no-big-deal cuz I can deal with it.
I may be a young monkey boy with
no brain for thinking but sometimes
a man must know his limitations. And
taking a foolish chance with no# 1 wife
on board just plain isn't going to happen.
Tomorrow will be another very long day.
No# 1 and the nuns will be able to catch
up on all the stuff they jabber on about.
All the dogs will be cared for plus all the
temple animals will receive their food ;-)~
Thank you for your comments and donations.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Quick Back Story ...........................
No# 1 and I have returned after a 2 day brake.
We were invited by friends to a birthday party
in a town East of us near the Cambodian border.
By car it's one and a half hours drive, by scooter
double that time plus a little bit more.
By scooter and sidecar triple that time plus a
whole bunch more +++.
Anyway we had a ride in a car so it wasn't so bad.
Didn't even take a camera knowing it would be a
lot of sitting around with kids running everywhere.
And that's exactly what it was, eating, sitting and
watching kids zip around like monkeys ..............;-)
Tomorrow early AM I'll be heading East once again
with scooter/sidecar and food for Mama and Crew.
No big plans, just relax and maybe fix any monkey
damage. And of course document the dogs activities.
No#1 and I are burned out so it's an early night for us.
Tomorrow upon my return I'll answer all the recent
comments.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see y'all tomorrow...... ;-)
Thank You.

When our car broke down on New Years day in Urbandale, Iowa, this couple just happened to stumble upon us. They went way out of their way to help locate a shop that was open, a tow truck company that was open, and even drove us back and forth to our hotel multiple times. It is amazing how generous and helpful these people were to complete strangers. It was this kind of generosity that made our trip that much richer.

Abused, Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Miss Yo-Yo is full of mischief all the time.
Attention was being given to Mr Rocky
when Miss Yo-Yo decided it was her turn.
So here's the reason behind using this photo.
Quite simple actually. No# 1 and other family
members are being taken out to the temple
so they can celebrate a Big Buddha Day.
There will be many people there but
most importantly they want to
spent time with the nuns
and Mr Kind Monk.
Along with the dogs I will be left at home
to diligently supervise myself. Oxymoron ?
Anyway it's 8:AM and they are getting ready
to go right now. So, I must report to no# 1,
snap a smart salute and see them off.
I was given last minute instructions
to behave and do no work until
they all have returned. Then
they will monitor my every
movement. Don't ya
just love it ;-)---

Mamas still seeing the dog doctor but as of
today she will start going every-other day...
Her wounds still look quite gruesome but no
infection has started in any of them.
Real nasty & painful lacerations cover much of
her body.No blood was leaking from any of them
today which is a good sign. She is standing, moving
and walking about on her own.Another real good sign.
This photo was taken in the bingo room just before we
left for the dog clinic. She's still covered with bandages
and yes the monkey head pajamas are still being worn.
But, upon our return she not only had been re-bandaged
but she also was sporting a washed blue rabbit set of PJ's
No# 1 is constantly in contact with the nuns who keep a close
eye on Mama, as does her son Rocky. Tomorrow is my day off
which means Boney Boy and I will be out in the scooter/sidecar
doing resupplies for all the same same stuff we use daily...........;-)

I thought this weeks theme would have been difficult for me to think of a concept, but I came up with something very quickly. For those who don't recognize it, this concept is based of a scene from the movie Labyrinth, with the "helping" hands.
This edit was crazy and took forever, which is why I am posting it late today. I made sure I got it done by today though, I don't want to miss a week in this project.
This photo still isn't perfect, but I think its somewhat post worthy for my 52 week project. Getting so close to finishing!

Alright we're back in business.
Not quite as usual but close ;-)
The last couple of days has been hectic
after a twister came through here leaving
many trees uprooted and roof tiles missing.
There was no ingress or egress due to trees
blocking the road and down power lines which
are on our side of the meter. Meaning it is up to us
to remove all trees and repair all the down power lines.
As dark closed in late last night the last tree crossing the
road was finally removed. This morning one of no# 1's cousins
climbed up on the steep roof and replaced the missing roof tiles.
There's still uprooted trees all over the property.
So, the two wheeled bike was loaded mid-morning and
off I went to take care of Mr Little Larry The Pipsqueak.
Reason for leaving mid-morning is I needed to stop at
the dog clinic to pick up some more stuff. And I also
wanted to sneak into The Dog Palace without the
other dogs knowing I was there. Most likely I'll
be returning early tomorrow morning then
all the animals can be cared for ;-)~
Mid morning means 8:30AM.
Early morning = 4:30AM.
On the way home I also stopped at a place that sells
rain-gear and spent $6 bucks on a new rain coat.
The last one is real old and full of holes plus
the zipper quit working a long time ago.
This photo shows Mr Little Larry eagerly eating some
soft puppy food that is beef chunks an gravy. Hidden
in this concoction is all of his medication. Off to the
right you see frozen rice with a similar mix that
Molly is chewing on. To my left is Blondie
doing the same same with more frozen
rice with kibble an chicken mixed in.
We're up on the third floor roof at The Dog Palace.
There ya go another small slice of jungle life ;-)

KR flower market a short glimpse.
It is considered to be one of Asia's biggest flower market.
Its been a while I did street photography, so I decided to visit this place to photograph activities inside the market, and I used the Sony RX100 VI to give myself a low profile.

Every day we walk the paths we know so well. We never see the cracks in the pavement until they have become a deep hole that we have fallen into. Cold and hungry we begin to reach our hands up for help but pull them back, embarrassed and scared. I'm not Them, I don't drink, don't do drugs, I work hard. How then, can I be Them.
In the dark we sit, happy to give that dented can to the charity of our choice, happy to get rid of that can that sat in the back of the cupboard collecting dust. Happy to say, not today I don't have time.
So subtle it was. The hand giving became the hand reaching. Even looking back I can not see it happen but it did. I am Them.

A beautiful participant from the state of Manipur being helped by her colleagues in dressing up for the final performance during the National Youth Festival in Amritsar, India. She was late to arrive on the scene and everybody seemed like they were anxiously waiting for her to arrive. As soon as she arrived, everyone yelled, “There she is!” and within a few seconds three of her friends were around her to help her put on the make up and jewellery. She looked like a princess who was getting dressed for some special occasion. She looked majestic!
