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.

 

More self-developed colour work: here , here and here.

SKIER : getting tips from the expert. :P

Showa Kinen Park

Tachikawa City, Tokyo

Named after French naturalist Rene Lesson, this colorful motmot is found from S. Mexico to Panama. Seen at Gamboa. Panama.

What says summer fun more to a kid than violin lessons? Aww...I wanted to go to math camp this year!

The Ham took this. If I'd been thinking I'd have just set the camera timer (which I haven't figured out how to set yet) and had all three of us jump.

 

I told her to sit while taking this (the d50 she can handle, but the d300 is a bit on the heavy side). After this jump she started getting into it and wanted to stand up, i took the camera. She took only one shot and nailed it first try at 2.8 even.

the sun sprinkled in my eye

just as it sparkled on the wheatgrass

blowing in my front yard.

the squirrels argue

maypole-ing around

the ponderosa pine.

I wonder

where does their drama lie?

round and round

trying to catch each other's tails

the sun shimmers on them too

but they are too busy to notice.

I wonder if this Great Egret is giving lessons to the Snowy Egret? Taken at Atascadero Lake.

I needed to post something pretty and bright this evening to cheer me up. My old pc crashed big time today, along with a ton of recent shots. I hadn't backed up for over two weeks!

Yeah, yeah, I know! :-(

Please cross your fingers for me in the hope that those geeky guys coming tomorrow can retrieve them!

The learning came before the surfing.

Life is like dancing

You decide if you want to live it by dancing alone, with one partner or several, as long as you dance nice, happy and with respect for the other dancers.

It has been ten years since our first dance, and I am so happy and enthusiastic about more decades of dances

Do you want to keep taking dancing lessons with me?

Happy anniversary, my love

 

La vida es como bailar

Tú decides si quieres vivirla al bailar solo, con un compañero o varios, mientras bailes bien, feliz y respetes a los demás.

En cuanto a mí, han sido diez años desde nuestro primer baile, y estoy tan feliz y entusiasta acerca de más décadas de bailes.

¿quieres seguir tomando clases de baile conmigo?

Feliz aniversario, mi cielo

 

"And on this journey may the good Lord guide us

And may the goddess dance beside us

When you wrap your arms around me

When you take me close and say

That you're so happy and so glad you've found me

You take my rainy days and make 'em go away

 

When you wrap your arms around me

When you take me close and say

That you're so happy and so glad you've found me

You take my rainy days and make them go away"

this is how you learn to swim

A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.

Lesson's motmot

Pajaro Bobo

(Momotus lessonii )

I was walking down the street and heard organ music in a church which is usually closed...an organ lesson was going on...

listen carefully and repeat - said the Starling to the Sparrow :-)

Costa Rica Continued....

On December 19th my wife and daughters did some ziplining and rapelling at a place in Cartago Province called Explornatura and me and my son went on a hike at the same place to see what wildlife we could find. Unfortunately it had been raining all morning and although it stopped for a while when we first arrived the rain started up again while we were hiking. Luckily we were prepared with rain gear but not many animals showed themselves. These animals were seen before and after the rain.

 

My wife and daughters had a great time on the zip lines and saw a sloth and they highly recommend this place:

A Lesson's motmot (Momotus lessonii) was seen at the Aracari & Birding Deck near Kinkara Luxury Retreat at Santa Elena in southern Costa Rica.

Dancing Lessons

Apparently, if you boil a hydrangea blossom in a water/laundry detergent solution for about 5 minutes, and very carefully rub the blossom with a soft paintbrush, the pigmented flesh rubs off, and you're left with a little blossom skeleton. Well, maybe 10 blossoms later, or 20, you may have one that you haven't torn. :) But, i'm patient, otherwise known as Stubborn!

The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence.

It’s located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

When a Bird is alive... it eats Ants,

When the Bird is Dead... Ants eat the Bird!

 

Time & Circumstances can change at any time...!

Don't devalue or Hurt anyone in life.

You may be powerful today.. But Remember,

Time is more powerfull than you!!!

 

one tree makes a million match sticks...

but when time comes..

only one match stick is needed... to burn million of trees!!

 

So be Good and do Good...

Nuernberg, Germany

A thought occurred to me yesterday:

 

If you get to paradise but those who made the most inhospitable of places home are not there with you... are you there yet?

 

Inspired by British Columbia's flag, the early morning sun, and blood orange juice...

 

It goes without saying its about time something were dedicated to Phil.

When I drew this year in the sand on Jan. 1st, posted it here in Flickr on Jan. 3rd, I thought it was the most beautifully symmetrical looking year we'd ever had. It appealed to my "Beethoven Brain" that likes to know things are in order.

 

2 months later this is what I learned: nothing is predictable, life can change with reports of a ship being quarantined for a new strange virus, and that what really matters are:

Family, (2 and 4 legged), Shelter, Food, Friends.

 

That we can survive if we have these four and also there will ALWAYS be joy if we just take the time to look, even in a pandemic.

Flavio's stream contains many wonderful Flamenco images (and other work) and is well worth a visit. Here:
