...So many I'm drowning in them! A camera body in a foreign language; lenses which behave completely different; a new location which is a mine field of new treasures, if I can find them.
As frustrating as it can be at moments and as overhelming as it is all the time, I'm reveling in each moment of it.
Please bear with me as I dial things in, practicing in my backyard. I will continue to strive towards the landscapes that I love, but until things reach that point there's a whole lot of learning to be done.
In the meantime I hope you enjoy this view from Lakeview Drive toward Queen Anne, with downtown creeping in on the left.

Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”
I knew how to emboss before I joined the HA group but never really used it... so here is my go at clear embossing with the heart winged butterfly stamp.... can you guess I LOVE this stamp!! ! LOL!!!
Black cardstock and black envelope stamped with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Labels one die cut and coloured pearls black with a sharpie (another new thing I learnt recently). pp by K&Co (Amy Butler) Sentiment from CL277.
I also embossed a butterfly on the envelope flap and put a white insert into the card.

Seeing that a few flickr folks visited U of C yesterday and got around to nearly all of my favorite places inspired me to look through some pics i had harboring space on the hard drive. I took this one recently, getting to work a little early one day to get back to Harper just as the sun was rising. I really want to grab a 360 degree pano of this room, but that will have to wait. Here, I just stitched together 5 or 6 vertical frames. It's definitely not perfect but I liked the warped perspective in this one actually.
