The boys finished up their swim lessons this past week. Jackson learned to swim with his arms, and PJ jumped off the diving board. WOW.

Many of the kids in Hope's class have either never taken swim lessons or had little experience swimming. Usually the first day of lessons the instructors gauge the children's capabilities by teaching them the skills using the swimming noodle. Of course Hope was overly eager. She asked her instructor if she could swim with out the noodle and to keep from confusing the kids she had her swim once with the noodle still. Though I'm sure she'll do awesome in swim lessons I bet this is the year that she'll be ready to join the swim team. We'll have to see if she's still interested after a month of lessons.
Lindsey and I started a set of squash lessons today at the local leisure centre. We enjoyed it and thought we'd better buy our own racquets. Luckily there was a really good sale on at a big sports shop locally.
...when going out in minus 18 to explore your photographic talents... goretex gloves are advisable, snowboard trousers are advisable (not like me kneeling in snow shooting some macro stuff in my jeans) and never ever put mascara on. Because it is cold and cold makes you cry. Not pretty.

Leave an escape route when turning on the carpet spot cleaner
The boys were under the bed in "their" room after having their first meal of raw food. Unfortunately, Reilly is a pig and tried to steal everyone's food after he hoovered down his own. This resulted in Finlay grabbing what he could in his teeth and making a run for it. You can probably figure out why I had to spot clean the carpet.
Anyway, I was standing in the doorway, bending over to clean the spot, when an orange blur flew out from under the bed, launching off my foot. The only reason I know it was Reilly is, Finlay was still under the bed. I didn't see Reilly for the next half hour, then he showed up in the kitchen, singing away. Silly boy.
I think I need a pedicure; this is one nasty lookin' foot!

The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian).
George E. K. Awai and his Royal Hawaiian Quartet popularized the small, guitar-like instrument when they performed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. From then on to the early 1920s, the ukulele became popular on the mainland United States.

Koi travel set - with pre loaded colors -- I want to chisel out a few and replace with preferable ones
Swimming lessons for the under-fives at an ungodly hour on a Saturday morning. These children do not stay still, but there is something about the identical swimming hats and armbands that makes me want to attempt the impossible and capture the scene. (Also, photographs are not allowed, so drawing is the only option).

Plan to re-cycle streets of European city in Toon
CYCLING campaigners say Newcastle would do well to learn lessons from the Dutch if it is to encourage a tenfold increase in city cycling.
Councillors are signed up to an ambitious target of seeing at least a fifth of all short journeys transferred from four wheels to two by 2021.
But to achieve that members of the Newcastle Cycling Campaign, who have been visiting Assen and Groningen in The Netherlands, say some major streets may need radical changes.
Biker Claire Prospert, who made the trip said the reasons Dutch people are choosing pedal power is far more than a matter of attitude.
“People think that the Dutch cycle because it’s part of their culture and it’s flat,” she said. “But this is only true to some extent, as the number one reason for the phenomenal levels of cycling is the extensive network of first-class cycleways, within and between cities.”
Just over 41% of journeys in Assen are made by bicycle, with each of the city’s 67,000 residents making an average of eight two-wheeled journeys per week. In Groningen the number of journeys is even higher with nearly 60% trips under 4.6 miles by bike and the city’s main railway station offering parking for 10,000 bicycles.
“People walking and cycling are clearly the top priority users for the urban designers and we even saw older neighbourhoods where solutions have been retrofitted and space allocated to cycling,” said Claire, who spent three days in the cities being shown round by British ex-pat cycling experts David and Judith Hembrow.
“With cycleways it’s all about continuity, convenience and priority – every junction and roundabout there has cycling features so it’s easy and safe for everybody to cross a road.
“And there was an extensive network of one-way streets where cyclists are allowed to ‘contra-flow’ – and this even results in lower speeds.”
Following her visit, Claire and other members of the Newcastle Cycling campaign have now come up with possible locations for where the cycling friendly ideas they saw could benefit Newcastle. Katja Leyendecker, chair of the group, said: “It was so important for us that Newcastle City Council signed up to a cycle target of 20% by 2021. But to stand a chance of hitting this ambitious target we must build a safe cycle network.
“It’s been the answer in Dutch, Danish and German cities and I know it can work here too.”
Councillor Nigel Todd, deputy cabinet member for environment and transport at Newcastle City Council, said he was aware of many proposals for ways to improve the city for cyclists.
“The city council is working hard to make the city a more bicycle-friendly community and we are always keen to hear the views and ideas of our partners, as well as members of the public, for making improvements to the cycling infrastructure,” he said.
“The aim is to develop a cycling culture in which 20% of all journeys under five miles are made by bicycle by 2021, leading to a greener, safer and healthier city.”
A meeting to discuss how to improve life for cyclists in Jesmond takes place tomorrow at Newcastle Cricket Club in Osborne Avenue, at 6.30pm.

I went back to school today! I ended up helping my old photography teacher run a session today & the next two days teaching the basics of photography to younger students still at the school. During today's first session we wandered down to the very local "Hall Place Gardens" where there is a plethora of wildlife & nature scenes available. I was able to snap a few decent shots myself, and I also got the chance to test out a new piece of shade 8 welding glass as an ND filter. The sky wasn't particularly interesting today so I focussed mainly on the water and plant-life. I am secretly hoping that the weather tomorrow will either improve, or be too wet to go out, meaning the next lesson will be in a studio setup. But I'm not fussed as to which ends up happening.
Overall though, a good effort today, lets hope I can get some more interesting pictures in the days ahead! :)

After making a couple of rough thumbnails, I attempted this sketch, which I would further refine were I to do this over.
I wanted the soccer net in this park to be the central feature, so it (and the red house behind it) are framed by the tree trunks and the foliage off in the distance.
While I tried to render the various landscape planes according to the brush markers that I had on me, I found the three tree trunks to be most interesting when I looked this over at the end.
The one toward the right was the most "blown out" because of the direct sun. For the most part, all the detail of the bark was obscured. Similarly the tree behind it was in uniform shade. Also, only bulk shadow shapes were visible, with very little bark detail.
The leftmost tree was in dappled sunlight, and while I could see some detail in the light parts, the shadow sections were pretty uniform.
Thus the level of detail that can be rendered in a drawing depends not only on how close/far away the object is, but also on the lighting conditions. The harshly lit tree (right) had the strongest and hardest edges, while the dappled tree to the left had an outline that had both weak and strong edge definitions, depending on how the dapples were falling.
