I stole this title from the wonderful song Life Lessons by Wyatt Lopez. This father and son duo, were lovely to watch. Oak Island, NC
"You spend your whole life just to remember the sound
When the world was brighter, before we learned to dim it down
Call it survival, call it the freedom of will
Where breath is our own, our compass needle standing still"
I got a headache after this.
Life comes at us whether we are prepared or not and sometimes teaches us if we take the time to lisson. In this case an Autumn leaf is both the same as most Maple Leaves as it goes through its inexorable seasonal change. And, at the same time it is different and somewhat unique with respect to the way it is changing.
There is a life lesson here I thought, so take the time to listen said that little voice in my head. We all try to express ourselves as individuals to be noticed and at the same time most do not want to be on the fringe and too different. Life and a big lesson is delivered to my feet in a small way.
Had to post an alternative version of my "Daddy Lessons" picture as I really liked the colours (and felt like it deserved a close-up shot).
The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.

However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.

Happy Fence Friday!
My grandson, Wyatt loves music and is interested in learning to play for real someday. He’s about 21/2-3 yrs. old. He’s picked up the guitar to play, my Native American Flutes and lately the keyboard. The best I can do is encourage him to play whatever he wants. He’ll at times wear my headphones and hum along to whatever is playing at time. He’s a delight. Gratitude and Kindness play a role in our relationship.
A bison mom seems to be giving her son a gentle early headbutt lesson. There will be nothing gentle about headbutts when he becomes a mature bull. We enjoyed this tender moment in Custer State Park, South Dakota.

What a wonderful place.
Me and a few other photographers spent the weekend in Wales. Darting from place to place taking shots of just about everything we could see!
This is a multi stitch panorama, a little soft up close. The wind had a habit of shaking the camera quite a bit - the joys of being so high up I suppose. Definitely learnt some lessons here and I suspect I would change my settings for next time I try something similar.
Thanks goes out to Greg Whitton Photography for the advice and location help. Check out his work (and sign up to a workshop while you're at it!)

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles A. Beard
Even the prettiest flower will die one day. It’s nature’s way of teaching us that nothing lasts forever.
An adult white stork (Ciconia ciconia) looks after the offspring. One of the three chicks spreads its wings and repeatedly gives an experimental flap, then another and so on. This eager baby stork is all for learning to fly as soon as possible.
The nest is perched high on the top of the cathedral's dome (cupola) in Kalampaka, Greece.

At the entrance to Thiksey Monastery's main prayer hall, a young monk interprets the Bhavachakra, or Wheel of Life, for a companion. This complex diagram serves as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the six realms of existence and the three poisons—ignorance, anger, and attachment—that drive the cycle of rebirth. The entire wheel is depicted in the clutches of Yama, the Lord of Death, a stark reminder of the impermanence of all things.
These rocks were named the Three Sisters since they look like three young nuns standing together and receiving a lesson from an adult nun. This is always a fun place to shoot night skies - we have some of the darkest skies in the lower 48!
A fun course with Christine Lashley - these are students getting ready for their sailing lesson. Such a busy scene with everyone getting their life jackets ready.
