Into the distance, a ribbon of black
stretched to the point of no turning back
a flight of fancy on a wind swept field
standing alone my sense reeled
a fatal attraction holding me fast, how
can I escape this irresistable grasp?
can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
ice is forming on the tips of my wings
unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything
no navigator to guide my way home
unladened, 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 & twisted just an earth-bound 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
gould 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 sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ~ Steve Maraboli
This is totally inspired on this wonderful shot of Chuppy!
Even Lassie has found that book and wanted me to teach her something about photography!
“Lassie, look thru the hole in the camera!”
“What camera?...”
“Lassie! There’s a CAT!”
“OMG!!! Gimme the cat!”
You can see, she has those ears and eyes when it’s about cats!
The best way to wake up Lassie: say the magic word CAT!
Tomorrow I’ll show you her shot!
in the end even dogs can do photography! Proved!
Happy Beginning of the weekend!
PS
About the title: photography is like flying for me, because I can take everything and feel free like flying!

"Learning to Fly"
This last month my wife and I just bought a home. It has been a very exciting time for us but also very challenging. I have learned so many things that I never had to do before; buy paint for a whole house, use joint compound to fix walls, change light fixtures, etc. I am very surprised at home much I have done and with very little help.
I am more aware of my need for God to be my compass in life. He has provided for all my needs and been faithful even though I haven't been in most things. Trusting God is like birds leaving the nest.
I have been pushed out into the world.. its time to learn to fly.

Oggi, perfavore, pensatemi! Io e Massi partiamo! Sarà il mio viaggio più lungo fin'ora (tipo 13 ore di volooo, con scalo...quindi doppia partenza e doppio atterraggio....brrrrrrrrr) e nonostante mi piaccia un sacco stare appiccicata al finestrino dell'aereo per tutto il tempo e io abbia volato un sacco di volte ormai, me la faccio sempre un po' addosso!
Ci si vede dopo l'8 marzo! La Thailandia ci aspetta!
(odiateci, si :-))

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
Marmalade fly (hoverfly) Episyrphus balteatus taken in my garden in Wigan, Lancs. One of two photos taken from a burst of continuous shots taken in my garden in Wigan, Lancs just as it started to conduct, I mean clean itself!
I like scenes like this . . . the parents or elders teaching and passing down the cultural traditions. We need more of that.
A new species for me - the Common Wood Nymph (Cercyonis pegala) like this one in bugguide: bugguide.net/node/view/1257325/bgimage
This butterfly was exceedingly friendly and landed on me several times. Colors can vary a lot for members of this species. Even though this one was essentially just very dark brown, it came off as looking like the finest dark chocolate.

Learning To Fly
Tom Petty
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

This is an "Afterglow"- it's the light even after the sunset, but it mostly appears at the other side of sunset
