“Life has taught me that respect, caring and love must be shared, for it's only through sharing that friendships are born.”

Apparently.. one should not mock another regarding what 'switches' are capable of.. Thanks Paul for the awesome rp looking forward to continuing!

I just published my first ebook on Smashwords and Amazon. Each company sells it for different kinds of e-readers. If you're curious you can download a small sample on either site.
Anyway, it was a bit of a challenge to get it done but I'm super happy it's done now. I've had an earlier version of this book and another one with all animal photographs for sale as printed mini-books for years now (I sell them at craft fairs), but always wanted to get them online too.
Happy Earth Day!
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.
Surprisingly the Cuckmere River opens out a little here (it is tidal to this point) and it is perfectly reasonable to kayak down to the sea (indeed I have done it many moons ago)

If you have children, then you're most likely noticing certain skills that are developing early. For instance, some children have a strong aptitude for sports, or art.
We constantly hear that not every child develops at the same rate, but why do some children seem to pop out of the womb, already singing opera?
Sometimes we hear parents say that their child isn't "musical" because they don't show a natural skill for it. This is usually because the child simply doesn't understand the language of music. Just because they can't sing doesn't meant they're not bursting with potential.
Here's an example: If I gave you a pair of skis, and you had no idea how to use them, you probably wouldn't have much fun. But you likely wouldn't hear someone say "oh, they just aren't natural skiers". That would be silly, since skiing is a learned skill that doesn't come naturally to most people.
Over the years, time and again, we have seen that anyone can learn to play music, and the benefits are scientifically proven. (For example, Time magazine ranks music lessons as number one on their list "How to Make Your Kids Smarter") Music makes kids smarter. It helps with math, and problem solving. It gives them social skills and creative thinking.
We fully believe that if your child picks up an instrument (any instrument is fine), practices regularly and focuses on improving, they can surpass someone with natural talent who doesn't practice.
And who knows? Your child may end up a famous musician one day. We've seen children blossom when given a violin, or guitar, or drums. If they don't take to a certain instrument right away, don't force anything. Maybe your ballet-loving little girl wants to play Led Zepplin on drums. Maybe your son loves hip hop but secretly wishes he could play violin. They just need to take the first step and begin taking private music lessons. Our professional, highly trained teachers can inspire a love of music in your child that will help them develop and grow.

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!

"thinking 'bout tomorrow won't change how I feel today."
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!
Think about before you start drawing
-Slow in, then push hard, wipe out
-Start to draw at the inside of previous leaf
-One group must be close
-The angle of leaves direction needs difference
-The space of each leaves in-between must be difference
oh, the right side is better, btw :D
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!!

Marie from our 2025 shooting - here on the bed captured with the Leica Q3 28mm
Had a Photoshop class with Tim Buerger today.
Worked on some of the photos I did in a previous strobe lesson in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Now it feels like the lesson is complete... from the shooting to the post-production.
I was never a huge fan of flashes and non-natural light but I really like the results of this class... time to practice!

Ok, here's a panorama that I shot that did not turn out as I planned. It does show the awesomeness of the storm. But....
I learned the hard way to not use a circular polarizer when taking a panorama. I was using it to get more contrast between the clouds and the blue sky, but where the edges blend it creates those dark ares.
This is three shots, thus the two dark areas. I've been trying in vain for three hours to fix it. I give up.
Plus I chopped the top of the clouds off. I have enough trouble with one shot sometimes, much less three put together.
This was a shoot from my first air show put on by the Navy Blue Angels. A fantastic show. These planes (for the show) are flying at speeds ranging from 150-450 mph, so high shutter speed is important to get sharp images and is not really difficult to achieve on sunny days like this one. The Blue Angels have a predetermined spot at which they perform some of their maneuvers like this one in which they pass by one another at a very close distance (remarkable) so here, shutter speed, aperture, steady camera and knowing that sweet spot where they pass is important to get sharp images. Here, I didn't know where that center point was so I panned with the number six plane and shot at 5 frames a second hoping to get the image I got, but because of my panning the number five plane became blurred (traveling the opposite direction of the pan). The show was wonderful and I learned a lot.
This image was shot with a 70-200VR lens at 5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec.
