Ten days ago I posted an image of a female Hyena teaching her sibling how to play with a stick. It didn't take the youngster long to find out what to do with it.
A great moment of life is seeing wild animals in their own natural habitat. Cannot beat it, and very addictive.
Just back from 'Tour de Bear' in the Canadian Rockies, Western Canada. Very tired, but some absolutely beautiful wildlife moments and worth every minute we put in. And there were a lot of minutes too, with us spending hour after hour, and day after day looking for wildlife.
Also, met a number of great photographers around our trip. All out in the golden hours searching for these charismatic animals.
Two siblings black bears, one black and one brown in colour. We named these bears Lilly and Marshall

Caught by complete coincidence.
everything is a learning experience.
When you help others get through their mistakes, you can learn just as much as they can. When you help your friend who is strugling you learn how to cope with the same circumstances.
Take everything in. Don't waste knowledge.
This is todays attempt at capturing the RHTT. The morning had been quite pleasant with periods of sun however by the time this was taken torrential rain had set in. Within 45 minutes the sun was back out for a chunk of the afternoon - just the way things work out!!
I should have used manual focus for this as juggling an umbrella and trying to keep the rain out of the camera proved too big a challenge and the rain seems sharper than the train. Overall it sums up the scene quite well.

I want to teach to my sons to fly too, for they're coming with me in many trips.
But, there are too youngs for the moment, I think so...That's so diffcult to train yourself with a Teddy bear in your... wing... :D
An other difficulty : Try to make a great pic with the midday sun : Really shiny, without any shadow, and a big reflection on the sand and the sea... An excellent exercise... ;D
Picture taken by my wife (Thank U my love!), reloaded by myself.
"Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…"

This one is a bit personal, both the image and the lyrics…so please be gentle with me!! :)
There is only so much I can do with my Canon SX30 but I am learning. Taken from my kayak on the Kalamazoo River between New Richmond and Douglas, Michigan. July 27, 2012.
I want to fly with my own wings to a faraway place
Do you remember my Pullip Kaela: Kaede? <3 lately I don't bond very well with her... for this reason I even put her up for adoption.... but in the end I decided to keep her and make a look change because after all she's a beautiful and special pullip for me ^__^ so here is the new Kaede! I hope you like her so much as me <33
This picture is inspired in gorjuss, one of my favourite brands!!

Panoramic Milky Way at Mesa Verde National Park. This photo comprised of 16 photos, 8 each for the sky and foreground. The earlier photo was stitched using Adobe Lightroom which didn't turn out as I desired. The photo here was stitched using Hugin. I first exported the RAW file into TIFF and used Hugin to stitch the photo. The program gives a bit more control for me and the gradient that was previously present no longer appears. Certainly some learning here.

The Diamondback Rattlesnakes would use the ropes on the platforms to climb up on top. It was warm enough in the building that the snakes were fairly active.

almost three years ago I started learning a new instrument, the alto saxophone. After about 40 years of teaching guitar It was a great experience to become a student again.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Just came from a gallery which included some Norman Rockwell paintings, saw this scene and thought he would approve. :) Herri Matisse- Bathers with a Turtle 1907-8 Oil on Canvas

Lots to do these days... hope you are having a great weekend and to catch up with you soon!!
When learning of this special Amtrak run from Denver to Longmont on BNSF's Front Range Sub, I was hoping for a nice shot of the train backdropped by the flatirons. Alas, Mother Nature had other plans as a low ceiling of clouds completely obscured the mountains. With no flatirons visible, the special Amtrak move passes through Niwot along the Diagonal highway that connects Boulder and Longmont.

“This is for the birds! Oh wait – I AM a bird!”
The challenge:
A photograph can be technically perfect, and have a great composition – that’s already hard enough to achieve sometimes! But for me, a photograph really stands out if it touches me. If it conveys a feeling, or stirs an emotion within. A really great image is one that evokes a mood and pulls the viewer into the scene. That’s what this week’s challenge is about: capturing emotion and feeling.
My process:
This is not the image I thought I was going to take this week. I started off the week thinking I would need to make a difficult and heartrending decision. The rainy weather forecast looked like it would match my mood and I planned to see what I could capture during a downpour. As it turned out, the sun appeared during a break in the clouds at about the same time I got the news that all my worry was for naught. In an effort to calm my frayed nerves, I turned to my camera and started taking photos of birds in my back yard.
I take a LOT of photos of birds – thousands upon thousands of photos often of the same exact birds. Sometimes I question my sanity, but the reason is because I’m hoping to capture the rare instance when a bird seems to express an emotion that we humans can identify with. I’m pretty sure we anthropomorphize the emotions, but we identify with them nonetheless.
Grackles seem to be particularly expressive – maybe because of their bright yellow eyes. This particular grackle has a bum leg that he never puts weight on, but the wind was making it particularly challenging for him to stay upright while perching on the post. He was using his tail as a rudder and he looks like he’s had just about enough! (We’ve all had those days buddy.)
The lighting helped to further enhance the mood of the photo as well. There was a small shaft of sunlight on the bird, but the background was in shade and was especially dark because of dark clouds overhead. The sun highlighted the iridescent colors in the wings and lightened the overall dark colors of the bird to help differentiate it from the dark background.
Lesson learned:
As you probably know, I strive hard to capture technically perfect images. However I am slowly learning (as Maaike said in her opening paragraph) that even though an image might be technically perfect, if it’s void of emotion the technical perfection doesn’t make up for that. Conversely, an image with emotional impact can make technical imperfections almost irrelevant. Perhaps this is because emotions connect us to the deepest parts of ourselves. Technical perfection is about what the eyes see; emotion is about what the heart feels – and it is entirely possible for our eyes to overlook something that our heart feels strongly about.
It's been a joy to watch these two interact. Charlie clearly admires Cider and constantly looks to him for instruction.
A young juvenile Tri-colored Heron practices the proper moves and lines up the next target on Horsepen Bayou. Still in the juvenile plumage with the rust and gray colors making for a nice appearance in this state. He/she will eventually look a bit more like the adult that I posted recently.

The new Learning Hub Nanyang Technological University of Singapore.
The new Learning Hub which also known as "dim sum basket building" stems from a simple idea that people learn best from one another. Each of the new 56 new-generation, "smart" classrooms will be equipped with flexible clustered seating, electronic white boards, multiple LCD screens and wireless communication tools, bringing students together in a university environment, they can collaborate to develop their thoughts further and faster than would be possible alone.
Like many families right now, we're doing 'remote learning', and today one of Frost Juniors school tasks was to "Make a Star Wars movie set" out of LEGO.
This is his photo. His idea was to make a cool photo showing his two favourite figures battling above lava. We set it up on our kitchen table using only basic household items.
Along the way, we talked about concepts such as framing, and lighting. What to put in the shot, and what to leave out. Where the focus of the shot should be, and how to best achieve it. About how we could separate Kylo from the background using effective lighting, and how those lighting effects could be achieved. And just generally had fun playing together.
How was your day? Are you remote learning too? Hows it going in your house?
This Eastern Bluebird fledgling is learning all about bird feeders. The top two in my yard are the mealworm feeders and the hotmeats (pepper treated sunflower meats).
