July 3rd is national Eat Your Beans Day - a “live healthy” holiday. This day celebrates the bean vegetable in all sizes, shapes, and colors. My healthy version of huevos rancheros includes black beans, poached eggs, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and (less healthy but irresistible) cheddar cheese, all on a lovely tortilla.
Fun facts about beans:
•There are over 40,000 varieties of beans
•China is the top worldwide producer of green beans
•Beans have been part of the human diet for thousands of years, probably dating back to when Man first walked upright.
•The world’s largest bean pods can grow up to 5 feet long.
•The USDA recommends adults eat three cups of beans a week.
•Beans from thousands of years ago, are genetically very close to the beans we eat today.
•6 to 11 percent of a cooked bean’s weight is protein.
•If you eat beans regularly, you will have less flatulence from them.
•Dry beans are better for you than canned because they contain less sodium. Frozen beans have less sodium, too.
•You can freeze cooked beans for up to six months. Before reheating thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.
•Rich in antioxidants, beans lower the risk of cancer.
•In Nicaragua, newlyweds are given a bowl of beans for good luck.
•Beans can be made into burgers, cakes, drinks, pies, fudge, muffins, jewelry, bean-bag chairs, toys, and musical instruments.

After reading an article about a LoMob update (an app I haven't used for ages) on the brilliant website LIfeinLofi, thought I'd pass this photo through it on the 1st setting, then finished off in Cameramatic, a bit of cropping and straighening in CropSuey and Voila!
I am creating a website at the moment which will include this tutorial and many other brilliant iphoneography artists' tutorials. Please make me a contact and send me an email note entitled: iphoneographywebsite if you would like to know when it is launched,wish to test the beta site and/or submit a tutorial.
Less than 50 minutes before the Hopping Egret, this Great Blue Heron declared it was done with breakfast, with a screech and a splashy takeoff.
I was biking by a golf course when I saw those beautiful birds. By luck, I had my new telezoom with me, and decided it would be the perfect time to get some practice with it.
So I was happily taking pictures when a man - the owner of the golf course - stop beside me.
- See those golfer there?
- Yeah?
- Most of them are not very good. You better watch out for them. The ball will most likely come this way.
Pretty much on cue, the golfer hit his ball... which passed less than 10cm from my nose.
Lesson learned: when taking pictures on a golf course, better keep your bike helmet on!
One from this morning as the sunlight begins to pick out the details of the land as seen from Less Beholden.

I am loving my panoramic photos lately. This was from one of the recent spectacular sunsets. I may revisit this property once I get ahold of the owner. Unfortunately I was stuck shooting from the road. I feel the road works well in this, despite leading your eye out of the photo.
It's milder today, but still cool enough to need to wear one of my recently bought cardis.
I'm wearing another of my long faux leather skirts, but this one has a little less flare in it.

//fifty-two weeks of design
This week's design is based off a prayer of mine: "Less of self, more of God."
I feel like it's so easy to be so caught up in what I want to do, what I think is best for my life. In the end, it doesn't even matter. Because after I part from this temporal world, self is gone. My name, or legacy, may be left behind, but I'll be gone from the face of this earth.
I figured I should invest in something that would last a little longer.

I am not religious but I have always been able to appreciate the beauty in all religious art and religious architecture as a form of visual expression of peoples' beliefs.
The sculpture represents the crucified Jesus on the cross with Mary, and John the Apostle by his side.
I am very pleased because I went through a lot to get this picture. It was not easy for me. My legs were shaking. And I don't like/do heights anymore. It was a 'miracle'. haha
No Crop. No Filter. No Post Editing. NOT A.I. (That to me is like physically chopping up peoples' paintings and making a new painting from the pieces).
