“People can't fly because they don't believe they can. If nobody ever showed people they could swim, everybody'd drown if they were dropped into the water.” - Willam Wharton
Took my niece, Nicole to the dry lake near Jean, Nevada for her first driving lesson. It’s a wide open expanse of perfectly flat terrain and a nice place to learn since there is no traffic and no rules. Sot this with a Nikon D800 and the Nikkor 70-300mm lens
A slight re-working of an old image with a bit of a story.
My Son, a product of the metric age, asked me for some images that he could get printed for his office. He failed to notice that a lot of printers work in inches and was a little surprised when a rather large tube turned up. I now have a 36x36 inch print to try and frame!
Having some fun while roleplaying :) Please visit Belacort Manor and enjoy the roleplay!

Many moons ago students gathered in this one room schoolhouse. Most probably walked a mile or two down the old gravel road. Some got dropped off by horse and buggy. Maybe the more affluent would get to ride in their parent's motorcar. And between these four walls they would all learn about the three R's - reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.
But some lessons aren't exactly taught. Kids learn to socialize with one another. The teacher learns patience from the students. And the schoolhouse? It may not learn, but it gets to stand tall and watch how time goes on. The students grow up and become teachers, politicians and farmers. The teacher goes back to teach at the school they once attended. The politician decides this school is too small and pools tax money to fund a new two story school in the city. And the farmer? He buys the land surrounding the old school and holds onto the memory from his youth.

(Hello flickr friends - I'm back from a short hiatus! Life has been busy on my end but I have a lot of new snaps to share! I had the opportunity this week to travel and visit some places on my bucket list from around central Indiana.
I'll share a little more about this school later but it was built in 1910 and sits abandoned down a country road and surrounded by farms on all sides.)
Perhaps the most elementary lesson a photographer needs to learn is to check the background.
Not looking past the flowers in the pot, I finished up with the dish rack and sink in full relief in the background.
I was amazed at the depth of field the small drop lens provided, in spite of the very shallow dof of the MP-E 65mm lens.

Lesson's motmot (Momotus lessonii ) is a colorful near-passerine bird found in forests and woodlands from southern Mexico to western Panama.
When you put two and two together
You figure out love's got four letters
I shoulda known that when I met her
But she had to spell it out for me
After all that second guessing
It's been a long hard history lesson
Hell that's a class I got an F in
But now I understand perfectly
She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S.O.B. in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F.U. in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words
Yeah she's got a way with words
There is no end to remembrance and thus no line that can be drawn under our responsibility. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Berlin, 29 January 2025.
The annual open-air and free history lesson at the heart of Berlin's government district, here from 2019, begins in late spring or summer and usually lasts until October 3rd, our National Day. The 30-minute light show/projection (which starts at dusk and is repeated several times until midnight) turns the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (MELH), one of the main parliamentary buildings, into a huge canvas. Every year the show is a little different but always focuses on German (parliamentary and general) history. Lessons learned or history repeating?
There are lessons to be learned from watching wildlife.
Perseverance, alertness and the battle for life marks nearly every individual creature.
Temporary defeats normally lead to upcoming successes.

Boxy has started teaching Lilli and Sadie how to tightrope walk...
Lesson 1 starts big and low, but the 'rope' gets thinner with every lesson!

Sadie hasn't found anything else she wants to wear in my dolly wardrobe yet :o hence she's in the same dress! Hopefully she'll have more of a rummage for her next picture :)
In the lush surroundings of Hacienda Montecristo, not far from the cultural haven of Santa Rosa de Copán, I encountered the striking Lesson's Motmot, Momotus lessonii. The bird's distinct blue diadem, set against a contrasting black mask, offered a visual feast amidst the verdant backdrop. As it perched regally on a moss-covered branch, the motmot's tail, with its characteristic rackets, hung like an exquisite pendulum, adding to the elegance of the scene.
Capturing this image was a matter of patience and respect for the bird's space. Utilizing a telephoto lens, I waited for the perfect light to dance through the leaves, highlighting the motmot's vibrant plumage and the intricate textures of its environment. This photograph is a testament to the delicate balance of technical skill and a deep understanding of avian behavior, essential in wildlife photography. Sharing this moment encapsulates the essence of what we strive for as photographers: to portray the soul of nature's creations, encouraging preservation through our craft.

I could have printed this, but learned so much by doing this myself. Inspired by so many great pages previously posted by the group!
I have been spending a great amount of time exploring and learning about my new favorite place 7 miles from where I live...learning what a remarkable birding place this is. I didn't go looking for the Kites this day but as I was watching the shorebirds I heard a screeching near by and there they were. This appeared to be a 'hunting lesson' day as the young kites perched on a nearby juniper tree and occasionally would hover over the field. When this one landed the parent landed next to it and I believe was encouraging it to go find it's next meal!

Hmmm tryings something a little different here. This is not an HDR image, but some manipulation in photoshop.
Story behind the ruins and the Detroit Book Depository Set
Large motmot of tropical lowland forest and edge, mainly in humid areas. Perches low to high, usually in shady areas. Blue crown with a big black central patch, unlike solid blue of Blue-capped Motmot, which occurs to the north. Plumage overall less contrasting in pattern than Turquoise-browed Motmot, with much smaller tail rackets. The name ‘motmot’ comes from double-hooting call of this species, which can sound like an owl, and is mainly uttered around dawn.

I can almost hear Mom pronghorn explaining to her little one the lessons of life ... stay away from humans, practice your running skills because you are going to be a marathon runner, and remeber to fluff up the white fur on your rump whenever you sense danger! (that is how they communicate danger to one another)
Smile.
