This is grace giving a big grin because she has just learned how to sing herself. Granted she just pushes herself bank and then lets go, but it works and she loves it!
An almost 4 month old Vizsla puppy with a Hasselblad and Ilford Delta 3200 film. Self developed. She is eagerly learning about the world, and how certain behavior receives treats and praise. Though she doesn't understand why I give her a treat a week later as I view the negatives and say "good girl!"

The 700 metre long TREASURES of the Tweed Mural was painted betweed 2010 and 2016 on the Commercial Road side of the Tweed River flood mitigation wall in Murwillumbah in far northern NSW.
Despite fears that vandals would graffiti those murals there has in fact been almost no vandalism.
The river side of the wall had been given over to local artists to paint to their hearts content and its believed that this has been a big reason for the respect for the Treasures of the Tweed Commercial Road side artworks.
In 2016 an organisation called Earth Learning, which operates in the Northern Rivers to promote environmental education, decided that funding for another mural would be sought with the artwork to be carried out during 2017-18. The new mural was to be known as the -
Artist Turiya Bruce was commissioned to work with the local environment group, community artists and volunteers in early 2017 to complete the new 150 metre long Ages of the Tweed Mural which was to focus on the Jurassic Period (250 million years ago) of geological history in the Tweed Valley.
In an interview in January 2017 with The Tweed Valley Weekly Earth Learning coordinator Adrienne Weber said
both the 'Treasures of the Tweed' and the 'Ages of the Tweed' murals show our unique lowland rainforests and Antarctic Beech mountain forests that long ago, covered most of Australia and can still be seen here today.
The murals takes us back in time to past eras when cassowaries, megafauna and giant birds roamed this land.
Back to 20-million years ago, when the Wollumbin / Mt Warning volcano was erupting with molten lava, to times past when Australian dinosaurs, horned turtles and platypus with pointed beaks and teeth lived nearby."
In an interview with the Echo Daily in November 2017 Adrienne Weber said -
"The mural was inspired by the words of William Guilfoyle, botanist and explorer who In 1869 travelled up the Tweed River and described it as:
“A deep rich valley clothed with magnificent trees . . . The background was Mount Warning. The view was altogether beautiful beyond description. The scenery here exceeded anything I have previously seen in Australia.”
‘Guilfoyle said “In all my travels I have never seen anything to equal the beauty of the vegetation. The banks of the river are clothed to the waters edge with an endless variety of the richest of evergreens, and the gay blossoms of climbing plants, entwining themselves around the larger trees, or hanging from the branches in gorgeous festoons alone would be the subject for the painter.'”
The Ages of the Tweed mural has been in progress for the last few years with the final vision being to create the Tweed River – Murwillumbah Riverbank Restoration Walk and Open-air Gallery. The idea is to represent all the plants and animals that existed in the original Wollumbin, (Mount Warning) area from Lismore to Mount Tamborine. Reference Echo Daily Nov 2017

After we came back from a long holiday, I was surprised to see a love nest of Pigeon in our balcony. They get puffed up and move in short circles to display love for each other. During our absence they had their peace of time and the result was two eggs (second egg was a day younger) in one of my flower pot. They build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris and used mud from the pot as a base. I saw both the parents caring for the young, which may leave the nest after seven to 28 days. Night time the Mother Pigeon use to hatch and lay them while the male use to do during the day time.
Mother Pigeon is more aggressive and attacks us when we go close. However during her attack she gets filled with air with puffs chest and feathers at the nape of the neck to appear larger and cute.
27th Dec2012
After some 17 days the first egg was hatched and later in the day the second egg also hatched and two yellow babies came out. These birdies are known as Squabs. They have wing like limbs and eyes closed. We provided them with water and millet (Bajra). Later after 4 days of nestling I noticed a peculiar behavior; the young ones will put their beak and hang inside the nostril of their parent bird. Later I checked this behavior on the internet and came to know that Pigeon is a rare bird (Flamingo and penguins are other two birds producing milk) which produces milk and those young ones were sucking through the lining of crop.
A crop (sometimes also called a croup or a craw, or ingluvies) is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion. This anatomical structure is found in a wide variety of animals and birds and is like a pouch.
Both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Pigeon's milk begins to be produced a couple of days before the eggs are due to hatch. Crop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese. It is extremely high in protein and fat and contains more of it than cow or human milk. The parents may cease to eat at this point in order to be able to provide the squabs (baby pigeons and doves) with milk uncontaminated by seeds, which the very young squabs would be unable to digest. The baby squabs are fed on pure crop milk for the first week or so of life. After this the parents begin to introduce a proportion of adult food, softened by spending time in the moist conditions of the adult crop, into the mix fed to the squabs, until by the end of the second week they are being fed entirely on softened adult food.
8th Jan 2013
In just one week the baby pigeons start to change color. The underlying skin changes from pinky to grey and dark black. Their eyes were open now and a small humming chirping kind sound (Cooing) started coming from the nest. During the first week the mother used to sit on squabs to keep it warm and protect it.
11th Jan 2013
Their color is completely changed to grey and they look like pigeons J The white lower back of the pure Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) is its best identification character, the two black bars on its pale grey wings are also distinctive. Still they had brown spikes like feathers on their neck and head.
With the time they became more noisy in the night and dull during day time.
The mother has completely abandoned the babies and only father used to turn up to teach how to eat and other birdie things.
22nd Jan 2013
The squab is now about 3 weeks old and is approaching the age when it should learn to fly. The flapping of wings and falling from the pot was very often and I used to lift them back to the nest. They started attacking me with their wings and beak.
An innovative new digital learning tool for classroom environments that promotes hands-on, active learning and engages students like never before.
Designed to support k-12 learning environments, i3LIGHTHOUSE helps teachers bring lessons to life while encouraging students to play, collaborate, share and engage.
i3LIGHTHOUSE not only supports the I.Q. side of learning but the E.Q side as well. Developing strong social and communication skills at an early age prepares students for a more successful learning path.
Developing a basic familiarity with technology and digital media at a younger age is strongly encouraged by early childhood theorists and leaders of thought.

its a big learning curve jumping into macro ,hopefully it will fall into place with a bit of reading anyways heres another from today
We have adopted the new phase of learning with the emergence of the Internet and technology. The transformation in the education sector demands digital learning by replacing books, notebooks, posters and hard copy documents with the websites and applications. Digital Learning is becoming a standard part of the classroom teaching and learning experience. Its various forms include blended learning, virtual schools, online courses, etc., but they all have the same goal to strengthen a student’s learning experience and improve educational outcomes. The learning is facilitated by technology that gives students some element of control over time, place and path. It is the key concept that needs to be embraced by educators in today’s classrooms.
