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.)

Skull drawing. Its amazing how we all look like this on the inside no matter if we are ugly, pretty, have different color skin, maybe have a mental problems, etc. God made each of us the same on the inside, we are made in his own image.

I'm not loving either these, but I think it is because I need to pick up a few colors of large markers ...copics or prisma? Most of the things I do I use fine to medium point microns etc...so lots of black pens means I need to go shopping for pretty markers ;)

Here a small child is giving lessons in how to solve the problems of the world. Share and Trust. Smile and Love.
Odd, how it seems only a child knows and understands these truths.
These are the chollas cacti.
The pieces should not be handled, as the spines are barbed and can cause painful, very slow-healing wounds if the barbs become embedded in the skin.
some things you have to learn the hard way
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.
The province is now in Stage 3 with COVID rules so it was nice to see people enjoy one of the only in person festivals this year. It was a lot of fun for everyone.
This little girl was so enthusiastic about learning the dance steps.
