The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.

However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.

A bison mom seems to be giving her son a gentle early headbutt lesson. There will be nothing gentle about headbutts when he becomes a mature bull. We enjoyed this tender moment in Custer State Park, South Dakota.
These young adult bears had found a porcupine and the one on the right payed the price. Sometimes life's lessons are learned the hard way. On a positive note I have some face shots of the one on the right and it's eyes were unharmed.
I stole this title from the wonderful song Life Lessons by Wyatt Lopez. This father and son duo, were lovely to watch. Oak Island, NC
Little River, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. Out of a lifting mist the water comes down, flanked and studded with perfect greens. It is pulled on a gradual gradient, and leaves a trail with each step, dragging a memory backward. The life of it's flow should be beautiful, but I find it a little cold, a little remote. Looking at the boulders, strewn and fallen in the flow, I think of my journey downriver. They are like pieces of me, broken off with each disappointment, each betrayal along the way. They stand like lessons learned, remnants of selflessness meets selfishness...bad decisions and weakness. They stand as a lesson to make myself harder, even if I don't want to be, because what is true in nature is not always true in me. But being true litters the streambed, back as far as I can see. If each had a name, they would stand as virtues lost, lessons learned. The perfect greens belie a bittersweet place; I'll leave it's beauty for another time.
never stand up in a canoe & take a picture...... and your good camera at that

Had to post an alternative version of my "Daddy Lessons" picture as I really liked the colours (and felt like it deserved a close-up shot).

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned
Just another brick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer
"You spend your whole life just to remember the sound
When the world was brighter, before we learned to dim it down
Call it survival, call it the freedom of will
Where breath is our own, our compass needle standing still"
I got a headache after this.

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein and struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding
Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining
You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned
This Motmot spent some time hunting off this little perch. There was an admiring audience of birders. It was so tame I was half tempted to try to remove the grass from its head :)

Happy Fence Friday!
Life comes at us whether we are prepared or not and sometimes teaches us if we take the time to lisson. In this case an Autumn leaf is both the same as most Maple Leaves as it goes through its inexorable seasonal change. And, at the same time it is different and somewhat unique with respect to the way it is changing.
There is a life lesson here I thought, so take the time to listen said that little voice in my head. We all try to express ourselves as individuals to be noticed and at the same time most do not want to be on the fringe and too different. Life and a big lesson is delivered to my feet in a small way.
Unliked Blue-capped Motmot, has a black cap (much like Wilson's Warbler). Seen on a non-birding trip. El Silencio Lodge & Spa. Bajos del Toro. CR.
My grandson, Wyatt loves music and is interested in learning to play for real someday. He’s about 21/2-3 yrs. old. He’s picked up the guitar to play, my Native American Flutes and lately the keyboard. The best I can do is encourage him to play whatever he wants. He’ll at times wear my headphones and hum along to whatever is playing at time. He’s a delight. Gratitude and Kindness play a role in our relationship.
Apologies for my absence... time is not my friend at the moment and even when I was away on my photo trip time just seemed to pass so quickly!
I really struggle just to keep up with social media... I don't know how people with multiple streams do it! Im ditching twitter and going to keep it to Vero and Flickr going forward.
I had a nice what I'd call recon hike up Beinn a Chrulaiste last week... It was my first time up that hill and first hike since my knee injury so I took it slowly... I defo need to improve my fitness if I want to nip up there for sunrise shots. The hike to the viewpoint took me about 2hrs and it should really be done in an hour... but I was slow and did stop to take a few pictures on the day.
The sun was fleeting and when it did come out it was strong. As you all know I rarely blend shots... but I think this shot is finally the one that has convinced me I need to learn! As you can see I've completely blown the highlights and didn't take brackets such that I could even use the shots to learn... This was the only light I got on the face of the Buachaille... and when it appeared I got so excited I made the school boy error of not checking my histogram... Ouch a sore one as to be honest I like this composition but im annoyed I blew the highlights and once they are that gone there is no recovery!
Had a great trip but a mixed bag of weather... and some exciting moments and some mistakes to learn from. God I could go away again tomorrow! But back to work instead!
