006/365 - Saturday morning drum lessons. Today is my tutor's last day. The new shift pattern at his day job means that Simon has to put up with me in future. This is the only exercise I get these days - I don't even own a pair of trainers anymore!!

Curicancha Reserve, Monte Verde, Costa Rica

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.

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!

Between style and fashion, Absolutely fashion

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 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!

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

“How are you doing this?” screams the guy on the roof, “tell me, tell me!”

Some of you artsier folk out there are really into negative space. Being not quite so artsy I never know what to do with negative space. Actually, truth be told, I had so much negative space in this shot, well, it really turned out to be quite negative. Solution? Since I am a detail kind of guy who gets actually quite lost in the detail and never appreciates the bigger picture – you know the saying about the forest and the trees, well my world actually consists of tiny little twigs, great for starting a fire. So I decided to get rid of the negative …. space. Translation of all this: this is really quite heavily cropped to bring into focus what I thought was the important aspect of this image – the actual levitation lesson.

This is also my tribute to hummingbird shots since I don’t get that many up here. This picture was taken in the dead north.

A young girl is practicing her piano lesson as her Westie watches. Inspired by the artistic style of Harriet Backer

 

Prompt: create an ultra-realistic digital fine art inspired by Harriet Backer. A young girl in a delicate vintage white dress sits gracefully at a wooden piano, her fingers poised on the keys as she studies the sheet music before her. Soft golden light illuminates her profile, highlighting her gentle focus. At her side on the floor, a fluffy West Highland White Terrier puppy watches attentively, adding warmth and companionship to the scene. The room is filled with rich details: the polished piano, subtle textures of the fabric, and atmospheric depth in the background with antique décor and muted shadows. Style: Digital fine art, ultra-realistic, inspired by Harriet Backer Mood: Serene, intimate, timeless, nostalgic Lighting: Soft, warm natural light with gentle highlights and shadows Aspect Ratio: Vertical Quality: Museum-quality detail, no noise, no grain

 

This digital fine art was created using OpenAI Sora AI and Photoshop

The learning came before the surfing.

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

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:

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!
