There are lessons to be learned from watching wildlife.
Perseverance, alertness and the battle for life marks nearly every individual creature.
Temporary defeats normally lead to upcoming successes.

30 minutes of walking around in the woods, we found a small clean spot where i could take a few shots. We all got the cold after that haha.
Anyways, have a great day people of Flickr! :)

"It's late at night and I think of you
And all those things you like to do
Still got your flavor on me
Yeah, I can taste your memory
Yeah, I've been hypnotized
Your searpent circles mine
My finger's in the fruit of life
I can't wait to take another bite
Because you got what I want
You're everything come give it up for me
A hard lesson to learn
Ooo, a hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn
Ya always want what you can't have
I don't believe in I can't have
You fill my need for bein' bad
And I'm addicted to a good half-bad
Just like a heavy drug
Mixed up inside my blood
Controllin' every thought
Come help me work it out
Because you know what I want
Come give it up you're everything I need
A hard lesson to learn
Ooo, a hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn
Yeah, yeah, a hard lesson to learn
How fast can you cure my madness
Break dishes and smash the glasses
I crawl around in the underneath
These scorpions keep stinging me
No reason to my action
Something deep inside me has it out for you
Because you got what I want
My everything come give it up for me
A hard lesson to learn
Ooo, a hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn
Yeah, yeah, a hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn
A hard lesson to learn"

the sun sprinkled in my eye
just as it sparkled on the wheatgrass
blowing in my front yard.
the squirrels argue
maypole-ing around
the ponderosa pine.
I wonder
where does their drama lie?
round and round
trying to catch each other's tails
the sun shimmers on them too
but they are too busy to notice.
I needed to post something pretty and bright this evening to cheer me up. My old pc crashed big time today, along with a ton of recent shots. I hadn't backed up for over two weeks!
Yeah, yeah, I know! :-(
Please cross your fingers for me in the hope that those geeky guys coming tomorrow can retrieve them!
Life is like dancing
You decide if you want to live it by dancing alone, with one partner or several, as long as you dance nice, happy and with respect for the other dancers.
It has been ten years since our first dance, and I am so happy and enthusiastic about more decades of dances
Do you want to keep taking dancing lessons with me?
Happy anniversary, my love
La vida es como bailar
Tú decides si quieres vivirla al bailar solo, con un compañero o varios, mientras bailes bien, feliz y respetes a los demás.
En cuanto a mí, han sido diez años desde nuestro primer baile, y estoy tan feliz y entusiasta acerca de más décadas de bailes.
¿quieres seguir tomando clases de baile conmigo?
Feliz aniversario, mi cielo
"And on this journey may the good Lord guide us
And may the goddess dance beside us
When you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you've found me
You take my rainy days and make 'em go away
When you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you've found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away"

A young girl is practicing her piano lesson as her Westie watches. Inspired by the artistic style of Harriet Backer
Prompt: create an ultra-realistic digital fine art inspired by Harriet Backer. A young girl in a delicate vintage white dress sits gracefully at a wooden piano, her fingers poised on the keys as she studies the sheet music before her. Soft golden light illuminates her profile, highlighting her gentle focus. At her side on the floor, a fluffy West Highland White Terrier puppy watches attentively, adding warmth and companionship to the scene. The room is filled with rich details: the polished piano, subtle textures of the fabric, and atmospheric depth in the background with antique décor and muted shadows. Style: Digital fine art, ultra-realistic, inspired by Harriet Backer Mood: Serene, intimate, timeless, nostalgic Lighting: Soft, warm natural light with gentle highlights and shadows Aspect Ratio: Vertical Quality: Museum-quality detail, no noise, no grain
This digital fine art was created using OpenAI Sora AI and Photoshop
when a true and heartfelt compliment
becomes a platitude-
and when words
become routine,
the silence becomes a lesson

On December 19th my wife and daughters did some ziplining and rapelling at a place in Cartago Province called Explornatura and me and my son went on a hike at the same place to see what wildlife we could find. Unfortunately it had been raining all morning and although it stopped for a while when we first arrived the rain started up again while we were hiking. Luckily we were prepared with rain gear but not many animals showed themselves. These animals were seen before and after the rain.
My wife and daughters had a great time on the zip lines and saw a sloth and they highly recommend this place:

Apparently, if you boil a hydrangea blossom in a water/laundry detergent solution for about 5 minutes, and very carefully rub the blossom with a soft paintbrush, the pigmented flesh rubs off, and you're left with a little blossom skeleton. Well, maybe 10 blossoms later, or 20, you may have one that you haven't torn. :) But, i'm patient, otherwise known as Stubborn!
The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence.
It’s located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it – always.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi.
What the Ukrainians are doing now continues in a long line of struggles for freedom in Eastern Europe. We must be inspired by their example to work in whatever way we can to bring freedom and liberation to all people. Resist the tyrants and they will fall.
***BOYCOTT THIS GROUP!**********
I have been banned from a little group called "Worldwide Photography" for posting my opposition to Putin's War in Ukraine. This was just a summary decision announced in this thread.
www.flickr.com/groups/ww-photo/discuss/72157721916159941/
According to this Admin speaking out against an unjust war is "hate speech". This Admin Putin-lover has even said he will report us to Flickr. If this idiot (Stalin called Western fellow travellers "useful idiots") can't distinguish between a just and unjust cause it shows how deeply flawed and ready for total collapse our Western civilization is. I strongly suggest you boycott this group.
When you check out the Admin's own page you will see it is full of pro-Russian images. www.flickr.com/photos/-eu
I've blocked him as well.
My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."
Kees Verkade heeft in dit kunstwerk de dynamiek en wankele beweeglijkheid van een fietsles goed verbeeld. De kracht van de duwende vader spreekt uit zijn voorovergebogen houding en grote stap. Het kleine kind houdt het stuur van de fiets met de grote wielen maar nauwelijks in bedwang. In het gegoten brons zijn de sporen van de boetserende Verkade nog duidelijk te zien, wat bijdraagt aan het dynamische karakter van het werk.
Het is een fragiel en kwetsbaar beeld, dat een geschiedenis van verdwijning en vernieling kent.

-------------------
In this work of art, Kees Verkade has nicely depicted the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson. The power of the pushing father speaks from his stooped posture and big step. The small child barely holds the handlebars of the bicycle with the big wheels. The traces of the sculpturing by Verkade are still clearly visible in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character of the work.
It is a fragile and vulnerable image, with a history of disappearance and destruction.

It is my responsibility to teach her that
• physical beauty does not define you.
• the house we live in nor the cars we drive say anything about us
• our actions and how we treat others says the most about who we are
• never let anyone tell you how to feel
• no one can make you feel unworthy unless you let them
• this is the only earth we have, and we need to be nice to it. even if it means walking out of jcpenney with boy Jockey undies and socks in hand because you don't want the plastic bag.
• you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
• one person can make a difference.
• some people believe in God and some people may not necessarily believe in God, but have a belief in a higher power, some don’t believe in any higher being and that is ok. it is up to you to decide which you choose to believe in.
• you don’t always have to forgive, but sometimes you just have to let go.
• hate is like giving someone free rent in your heart.
• no one is perfect, even the best of people make mistakes.
• not all friendships last forever
• bad things happen to good people, there is no reason why.
• sometimes abortion is not a choice, but a heartbreaking necessity.
• never ever judge someone’s actions until you have been in their shoes, because it is easy to judge if you have never been there.
• not everyone has to believe what you believe, that is what makes this world interesting
• when to use who vs. whom
• make “throw like a girl” a positive statement.
and this is just a few random thoughts... more later

Bathroom items, drawn using "finding squares" set up. I am still getting used to using a double page spread and very much distracted by the seam, so I used my Corel to get rid of the shadow and line on this. The seam accounts for much of the wonkyness of the soap distributer , but not all of it! :>}
