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.

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.)
Lesson's motmot (Momotus lessonii ) is a colorful near-passerine bird found in forests and woodlands from southern Mexico to western Panama.

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

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?
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 :)
…add color to hands and head only. Emphasize the interaction between the three, subject is a person of students choice, use expressive line but no shading.
A Lesson's motmot (Momotus lessonii) was seen at the Aracari & Birding Deck near Kinkara Luxury Retreat at Santa Elena in southern Costa Rica.
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!

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.

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 love lemurs but I confess that their frenetic movimentation bothers me a little because makes the sharp photograph so difficult or even impossible.
After many comes and goes these two were so beautiful side by side, in a perfect pose (the pose that I wanted since the beginning), but the third guy insisted on spoiling the photo in just one lesson - jumping on the other two guys :))

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.

First attempt at colour developing - bit disappointing. Negs are very thin - increase development slightly from the recommended 3:15. Also uniformly covered in tiny white spots. It's not dust. Various sources suggest this can happen with hard water, but I don't think ours is.
