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

“Nature does not ask permission. Blossom and birth whenever you feel like it.” -Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Nature can teach us a lot of things and one I’ve learned from her is to be yourself without apology. You shouldn’t need validation or permission from others to be true to yourself. As long as you’re doing no harm and you’re happy, that’s what should matter.
Connect with nature, explore your passions, do what you love. No competition with others, no trying to be better than others. Just be.

Stitched shot taken in the kids area of GoMA. Pedro had relinquished his dSLR to Rachel and was explaining the finer points of camera grip, while Ana took an opportunity to capture the moment.

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!

Here is a three shot panoramic view of the sunset from a week ago. This was at the very peak of the colors in the sky for that sunset. Within ten more minutes all color was gone. This shot also confirms that if I do some LE there in the future, I need to try some at eye level as I like the light that comes through the benches out on the pier. Lower vantage shots that I have taken here keeps the benches right at the horizon and hides a lot of their detail.
While this image is such fun to look at, it is also a reminder to me of the mistake made this day shooting there. You will notice on the pier the camera on the tripod taking the long exposure. I cannot post the image taken at that time (which was during the peak of colors for this sunset) as I got lost in taking these handheld shots and ended up exposing the LE way way too long. I need to have a timer there with me if I am going to get distracted like I was with the colors and reflections going on around me.
You would also think with today's electronics you could get the "Bulb" time specific and then walk away and not have to be there to shut it off.
Oh well - gives me a good excuse to try again. Though not today as there is not a cloud in the sky :(
I was walking down the street and heard organ music in a church which is usually closed...an organ lesson was going on...

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:
Look. Seeing is not enough.
For in life – even what looks constant –
Changes.
So watch carefully – do not let the
Shadow fool you. It is a part of
The picture – even if I did not want to.
But the picture is what it is, and this shadow
Becomes a story by itself.
And understanding that even things I do not
Like, that seems to be wrong – are lessons for life
Its where creation begins.

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 have two left feet and he's trying to teach me not to step on toes.
