"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.
Self explanatory. I love the way my daughter's eyes betray no fear of the huge B-double road train truck coming by in the other lane. Looks like the car needs a vacuum to suck up the dust visible in the sun....

Leonard: Why are you learning Chinese?
Sheldon: I believe the Szechuan Palace has been passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken, and I intend to confront them.
Leonard: If I were you, I'd be more concerned about what they're passing off as chicken.

Walking along the Schuylkill River near boathouse row, we got to see these longboat rowers learning how to work together
Like a baby bird taking it's first flight... this is how I feel about SP's (it's terrifying). But thanks to the encouragement and inspiration from you guys, I keep trying. And I won't delete this one (I just have to keep telling myself that). :-)

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!”

Thank you for the lovely comments on my previous post. My Mom was thrilled by all the sweet birthday wishes.

We can’t always physically travel, but we can mentally visit any place & time through #learning ... My mom unfortunately can’t travel but she loves travel programs & enjoys just as much as if she was actually there.
This shot really defined the moment when I realised that I needed to move on to the d7000 I have now. This otter was feeding close to shore and when I saw her heading in I had moments to get down behind some rocks and ready to shoot.
The light wasn't great and I was going to struggle at lower iso's - problem was on the camera I was using that adjustment was menu driven and I daren't look away or move too much so I had to shoot as things were.
If, and it's a pointless if, I'd had the d7000 a quick role of the wheel and the iso would have been on the up instantly.
If this had been sharp I reckon it would have been my favourite otter image - looks like something out of a cartoon. Don't get me wrong, still a great moment and magical experience and I'm grateful for that.
....oh and I think the latest lesson I've learned is that I need to spend far too much money, for me anyway, on a new lens!

"Well I started out down a dirty road,
Started out all alone.
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill,
And the town lit up, the world got still.
I'm learning to fly... but I ain't got wings,
Coming down is the hardest thing.
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds.
But what goes up must come down."

Strictly, this photo is not mine; It was actually taken by my 7-year-old son David, who is learning to catch the light with a camera. And I think that he does this good enough ...
