Curiosity just isn't a quick study when it comes to correlating his biting his and the subsequent pain. That's okay, he still blames his food for biting his tongue at meals. . .

Marble is teaching Phillip the finer things in life....how to blow a bubble. FIrst you must choose the correct size piece. Next, you must chew it till it is nice and rubbery and sticky spit covers your face. Third take it out of your mouth and stretch it flat with your two hands. Fourth, put it back in your mouth, but swallow all of your spit first. Fifth, push it against your teeth with your tongue and then move your tongue then blow super hard. Don't forget to make a circle with your lips so the bubble can escape a little bit.
Stay tuned to see how this goes!
Reggio Emilia (Italy), Istituto Musicale "A. Peri", organ lesson with Maestro Renato Negri

I actually had this one in mind for the trees & rocks, looks like it could apply to part of lesson 3 with painting water as well.
In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Katherine tells the story of a girl desperately searching for ladybugs who only finds them when she finally relaxes, takes a nap and awakes covered by the beautiful little insects. A great life lesson, I always thought.
Today, an unseasonably warm day brought hundreds of ladybugs crawling on my house and flying in the woods. Such a lovely seen....just a lovely reminder of a wonderful lesson.
Formerly called "Blue-crowned Motmot", which is now regarded as a complex involving five species and numerous subspecies.
Late one night a friend decided they wanted to know how I transform my pictures into custom art creations, like the ones posted in my mental leakage set. The idea was to watch me work through one from start to finish and learn enough to create their own. (it happens every few months, I gave up trying to talk people out of it a long time ago....)
I took a deep mental breath and started playing around while trying to talk them through what I was doing. Where we ran into problems (as almost always happens) was when I could tell them what I was doing, but not why. When I am free-flow playing I tend to go from step to step on instinct and curiosity. I will keep building layers, turning them on/off, rearranging the stacking order, changing opacity, etc etc as my mind wanders. I just go with the flow, rarely do I ever start with an idea and end with that product, it always evolves and changes as I go along.
This time they hung in til the end with me (instead of giving up from overload part way through), and want to do it again. They decided to get a copy of photoshop and play around a bit for a while, then once they understand more of the basics come back for more. That's fine, I'm game whenever they're ready.... I'll use the time as a lesson in patience for me. Lord knows I could use more patience... :)
It's almost 50 years ago, but I think this must de the day that it all started.....
This photo's, made by my dad who had his own darkroom to develop the photo's, I found in my child album. My mom wrote October 1963 near the pictures.
No strobes, No rolfilm, No Zoom, No AV, No TV, but only the basics in that time.
Enjoy!
This reproduction pictures were shot with a Canon 24-105 F4 lens, direct out of the album.
I was to lazy to use a tripod, that declares the lens aberration.
Momotus lessonii
This Motmot was formerly part of the 'Blue crowned' complex...
This species is found from southern Mexico to Western Panama, and was only found when we were in the extreme west of the country.
This Moorhen was swimming around in one of the ponds with two young chicks. Probably teaching some well needed lessons at this early stage of life.
I remember coming across this scene and couldn't wait to share it as it was an unusual sight for me and I thought it was so cool and here I am just getting to it 10 months later. Daah!

i wish i could blame it on the super-slow traffic of oxford, but .....

I've been in India for 2 weeks so far, hence the lack of new photos. Here is one I took the other day in a park in Mumbai. The boy was a street kid till the charity i'm working with picked him up and found him a home and a family!
I believe I used pencils 8B, 6B, 2B and HB. This took about 40 minutes. I also completely forgot that I didn't have to shade it. xD
When in wildlife territory always have your tele lens on the camera, landscapes give you time to change lenses, bears don't. This is OK, but if I was ready I could get a dream shot of this bear.
I took this a couple weeks ago but thought I would share while I am looking for more victims to shoot!!
