When in wildlife territory always have your tele lens on the camera, landscapes give you time to change lenses, bears don't. This is OK, but if I was ready I could get a dream shot of this bear.
I took this a couple weeks ago but thought I would share while I am looking for more victims to shoot!!
We will walk the streets of Red Hook on Saturday afternoon. We will be conscious of our surroundings. We will stop at the corner and cross only when it's safe. We will smile at the people we see even if they don't see us. We will concentrate on our breathing. We will acknowledge all thoughts compassionately and briefly and then we will let them pass. We will always return to the breath, totally relaxed, bathed in nirvana.

Tree Climbing Lesson. Yosemite National Park, California. June 7, 2009. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two black bear cub and their mother climb trees in Yosemite National Park, California.
I was very fortunate to be able to watch this bear family a couple of years ago - and to have a long enough lens to do so without intruding on them. The mother bear seemed to be alternately letting the "kids" play around and do whatever they felt like, and then offering them "climbing lessons" on some of the trees. The cub with black fur seemed the most comfortable at this, quickly scrambling straight up the trunks to surprising heights, moving with agility that reminded me of monkeys. The brown-fur sibling seemed a bit more cautious and "mama" seemed to have to offer a bit of encouragement and support, much as a human parent might do. Her actions at this point reminded me of my own experience with my kids the first time they climbed something (that seemed to them to be) dangerous - I followed close behind with my "front paws" around them, ready to catch if necessary.
While the brown cub initially hesitated quite a bit, before long it also took off and quickly ascended way up in the tree, and before long the whole family was 20 or more feet off the ground.

This was a shoot from my first air show put on by the Navy Blue Angels. A fantastic show. These planes (for the show) are flying at speeds ranging from 150-450 mph, so high shutter speed is important to get sharp images and is not really difficult to achieve on sunny days like this one. The Blue Angels have a predetermined spot at which they perform some of their maneuvers like this one in which they pass by one another at a very close distance (remarkable) so here, shutter speed, aperture, steady camera and knowing that sweet spot where they pass is important to get sharp images. Here, I didn't know where that center point was so I panned with the number six plane and shot at 5 frames a second hoping to get the image I got, but because of my panning the number five plane became blurred (traveling the opposite direction of the pan). The show was wonderful and I learned a lot.
This image was shot with a 70-200VR lens at 5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec.
Was given a lesson today about camera care.
Rushing to get a few shots in before the tide finally receded too far to be of any use, I placed my tripod down, loaded the camera and was just grabbing my filters when the wind made the most of me not taking greater care in placing the tripod. I had to watch on helplessly as it launched forward, my lens heading first into the sand. Several curse words later I inspected the damage and it didn't occur to me immediately that the large scratch the fall had created was actually on the UV filter not the lens itself. A few people told me early on to fit a UV filter to protect the lens - I'm thankful for that advice.
As it happens by the time I'd recovered my composure what tide there was had left the subjects I hoped to photograph. So as not to feel a total waste I moved back to the car and took this, partly as a reminder that I need to go back and visit. I really like this as a subject and unusually I've decided to retain the colour. I've also had a go at merging two exposures to recover some of the details on the post.
Definitely a place I'll revisit - with a bit more care.
The second lesson was to adjust the levels on an image (I didn't know how to do this!!) and to add text, changing the opacity and type of layer. Kim Klassen also asked us to work on a light image and a dark image. Here's my lighter one, complete with a rainbow from the other night! (And also with textures from Distressed Jewell/Cheryl Tarrant and Kim Klassen.)

+Start to draw at the inside of previous leaf
- Following leaves should be painted from the inside of previous one
- So that you keep the leaves shape tight
+First drawing remains
- Object drawn first stays the front.
- The water makes line in between, which is beautiful
- So, the previous leaves must darker than latter one.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin welcomed participants at the 2016 WV Center for Children's Justice “Handle with Care” Conference in Charleston on Tuesday, October 11, 2016. The multi-state conference is part of an initiative to address maltreatment of children and their exposure to trauma.
A recent national survey of the incidence and prevalence of children’s exposure to violence and trauma revealed that 60% of American children have been exposed to violence, crime or abuse. Forty percent were direct victims of two or more violent acts. Prolonged exposure to violence and trauma can seriously undermine children’s ability to focus, behave appropriately, and learn in school. It often leads to school failure, truancy, suspension or expulsion, dropping out, or involvement in the juvenile justice system.
The West Virginia Defending Childhood Initiative, commonly referred to as “Handle With Care,” is tailored to reflect the needs and issues affecting children in West Virginia. The Initiative, a result of a collaborative effort of key stakeholders and partners, builds upon the success of proven programs throughout the country. The goal of the Initiative is to prevent children’s exposure to trauma and violence, mitigate negative affects experienced by children’s exposure to trauma, and to increase knowledge and awareness of this issue.
Model Handle With Care (“HWC”) programs promote safe and supportive homes, schools and communities that protect children, and help traumatized children heal and thrive. HWC promotes school-community partnerships aimed at ensuring that children who are exposed to trauma in their home, school or community receive appropriate interventions to help them achieve academically at their highest levels despite whatever traumatic circumstances they may have endured. The ultimate goal of HWC is to help students to succeed in school. Regardless of the source of trauma, the common thread for effective intervention is the school. Research now shows that trauma can undermine children’s ability to learn, form relationships, and function appropriately in the classroom. HWC programs support children exposed to trauma and violence through improved communication and collaboration between law enforcement, schools and mental health providers, and connects families, schools and communities to mental health services.
PILOT:
“Handle with Care” is an initiative currently being piloted at Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary School in Charleston, WV. The school, located in an urban area of the city plagued by drug and violent crime, houses approximately 500 students. Ninety-Three percent of the students come from low-income families. The school has ranked 398 out of 404 elementary schools in West Virginia for poor performance. In conjunction with “Handle With Care,” the United States Attorney’s Office has launched a Drug Market Intervention in the area to address high level drug and street crime.
LAW ENFORCEMENT:
"Handle with Care" provides the school with a “heads up” when a child has been identified at the scene of a traumatic event. It could be a meth lab explosion, a domestic violence situation, a shooting in the neighborhood, witnessing a malicious wounding, a drug raid at the home, etc. Police are trained to identify children at the scene, find out where they go to school and send the school a confidential email or fax that simply says . . . “Handle Johnny with care”. That’s it. No other details.
In addition to providing notice, officers also build positive relationships with students by interacting on a regular basis. They visit classrooms, stop by for lunch, and simply chat with students to help promote positive relationships and perceptions of officers.
SCHOOLS:
Teachers have been trained on the impact of trauma on learning, and are incorporating many interventions to mitigate the negative impact of trauma for identified students, including: sending students to the clinic to rest (when a HWC has been received and the child is having trouble staying awake or focusing); re-teaching lessons; postponing testing; small group counseling by school counselors; and referrals to counseling, social service or advocacy programs. The school has also implemented many school-wide interventions to help create a trauma sensitive school (Greeters; pairing students with an adult mentor in the school; utilization of a therapy dog; and “thumbs up/thumbs down” to indicate if a student is having a good day or a bad day).
COUNSELING:
When identified students exhibit continued behavioral or emotional problems in the classroom, the counselor or principal refers the parent to a counseling agency which provides trauma-focused therapy. Currently, there are two partnering agencies providing trauma focused therapy on site at the school in a room provided by the Family Care Health Center housed within the school. Once the counseling agency has received a referral and parental consent, students can receive on-site counseling.
The counseling is provided to children and families at times which are least disruptive for the student. The counselors also participate in MDT, SAT and other meetings deemed necessary by school personnel, and as authorized by the child’s parent or guardian. Counselors provide assessments of the child’s need, psychological testing, treatment recommendations, accommodation recommendations, and status updates to key school personnel as authorized by the child’s parent or guardian.

This was lots of fun but I need a different kind of lamp that throws consistent shadows. These splay when I get the light close enough to give good contrast. Strange, no? Red book is my favorite childhood book. And pie, Sweet images.

Our Daily Challenge ... far, far away
I took Fletcher to his swimming lesson today and couldn't help thinking that it was light years away from the swimming lessons I had as a child. Probably why I don't like swimming much and also why the boys can swim almost as well as I can already.
Lesson in monastery school. One of the most important subjects is learning to read tibetan script - as all religious texts are written in this language, which is unfamiliar to Monpas of Tawang.
