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!
Snapped one warm & sunny afternoon at the small created lake in the Windsor Park subdivision of Regina, Saskatchewan. There are many ducks at this lake. They seem to be fairly tame, and come right up to people who have food that they think might be for them. However, this mother duck would have nothing to do with me. As I approached the water's edge she began to swim away furiously, with her two ducklings paddling near her.
I was walking down the street and heard organ music in a church which is usually closed...an organ lesson was going on...
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 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...
when a true and heartfelt compliment
becomes a platitude-
and when words
become routine,
the silence becomes a lesson
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.
The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence.
Itās located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

āWhen I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it ā always.ā ~ Mahatma Gandhi.
What the Ukrainians are doing now continues in a long line of struggles for freedom in Eastern Europe. We must be inspired by their example to work in whatever way we can to bring freedom and liberation to all people. Resist the tyrants and they will fall.
***BOYCOTT THIS GROUP!**********
I have been banned from a little group called "Worldwide Photography" for posting my opposition to Putin's War in Ukraine. This was just a summary decision announced in this thread.
www.flickr.com/groups/ww-photo/discuss/72157721916159941/
According to this Admin speaking out against an unjust war is "hate speech". This Admin Putin-lover has even said he will report us to Flickr. If this idiot (Stalin called Western fellow travellers "useful idiots") can't distinguish between a just and unjust cause it shows how deeply flawed and ready for total collapse our Western civilization is. I strongly suggest you boycott this group.
When you check out the Admin's own page you will see it is full of pro-Russian images. www.flickr.com/photos/-eu
I've blocked him as well.
My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

I guess we all make mistakes, I would normally bin an image if I thought it was below standard and this one nearly went in the bin. The lesson is put all your settings back to the correct position before you leave for your chosen photography spot. When I got to this spot I dragged out of my bag the 16-35, when I last used it I had it on my tripod so switched off the stabalizer, I took a couple of shots with polarizer in place which looked fine on the LCD, I had walked a fair distance when I noticed I had not pushed that switch.
Having loaded that days shoot onto my computer I then could see how effective eight stops of camera and lens stabilization is and how you miss it when it is not there.
So here is the first shot the other has bitten the dust. Check everything.
This is Sandgate park near Storrington in Sussex, the little stream looked lovely with leaves floating in this one, the fairy bridge looked lovely over the stream too , the sky was a bland grey and light levels low. I made the best of this image it sure is not the best so a return visit will be made to make another go of it.
Dad, I thought just landing on this thing was good enough!
Son, we haven't even started-gonna be a long day!
It is my responsibility to teach her that
ā¢ physical beauty does not define you.
ā¢ the house we live in nor the cars we drive say anything about us
ā¢ our actions and how we treat others says the most about who we are
ā¢ never let anyone tell you how to feel
ā¢ no one can make you feel unworthy unless you let them
ā¢ this is the only earth we have, and we need to be nice to it. even if it means walking out of jcpenney with boy Jockey undies and socks in hand because you don't want the plastic bag.
ā¢ you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
ā¢ one person can make a difference.
ā¢ some people believe in God and some people may not necessarily believe in God, but have a belief in a higher power, some donāt believe in any higher being and that is ok. it is up to you to decide which you choose to believe in.
ā¢ you donāt always have to forgive, but sometimes you just have to let go.
ā¢ hate is like giving someone free rent in your heart.
ā¢ no one is perfect, even the best of people make mistakes.
ā¢ not all friendships last forever
ā¢ bad things happen to good people, there is no reason why.
ā¢ sometimes abortion is not a choice, but a heartbreaking necessity.
ā¢ never ever judge someoneās actions until you have been in their shoes, because it is easy to judge if you have never been there.
ā¢ not everyone has to believe what you believe, that is what makes this world interesting
ā¢ when to use who vs. whom
ā¢ make āthrow like a girlā a positive statement.
and this is just a few random thoughts... more later
Bathroom items, drawn using "finding squares" set up. I am still getting used to using a double page spread and very much distracted by the seam, so I used my Corel to get rid of the shadow and line on this. The seam accounts for much of the wonkyness of the soap distributer , but not all of it! :>}
Lesson #1: Don't underexpose your film...
Luckily, I still have one more roll of this.
Shot on my Nikkormat using Kroger 200 film.
Okay, I'll admit it. I hit a processing point where every photograph I touched was not turning out. At all. It was very frustrating, so (along with participating in some holiday weekend activities) I took a break from pictures.
Today, I thought I'd give some of the images another go. And I was very excited with how they were turning out!
Hooray for a brief brain break! Hooray for the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown!
And hooray for Distressed Jewell and SkeletalMess!!!!
