From my recent trip with Lakeland Photograhy Holidays - this was a set of three bracketed shots I took, and the post-processing was done (as a demo) by our tutor, John Gravett.

Recycling Lesson

I'm finally back to working on my art journal. I've never used washi tape before, so I added little bits to these pages - tiny green mesh and turquoise/white check.

My lessons involved about thirty seconds of instruction on land, then a few minutes of shouted instruction from shore while I flailed around on the board. But I managed. I guess if you're ten years old you get more attention.

In preparation for the ship's presentation of "Dancing With the Stars at Sea", they offered dance lessons in the Samba, Salsa and Jive. Then each of the ship's professional dancers chose one of the best of the passengers to be their partner for the competition. Glenn and one of the ladies at our dinner table paired up to try their hands (or should I say feet) in learning the Samba. They had fun, but neither progressed to the next round.

The lesson of exercise; 15,000 steps a day.

Taking 10,000 steps per day is often suggested as a desirable exercise goal for people who wish to improve their health, to protect our hearts, many of us might want to start moving quite a bit more. -Time Magazine

Hmmm ... those are quite the lessons going on there.

The camp I help teach with LEGO Master Mel Brown is more than about putting bricks together. We’re here to serve underprivileged children who don’t have access to a ton of bricks. With just 1 or 2 small boxes of bricks we’ve been able to demonstrate endless possibilities. We teach them how different parts have different functions, but we go further to teach life skills, like getting organized, thinking outside the box, perseverance, and other tips along the way.

The topic for this week’s lesson was landscaping. The kids learned about symmetry vs asymmetry, geometric vs organic shapes, foreground and background, composition, and some fundamental LEGO layering and shaping. The kids did sooo great to keep up with an abundance of information and building in a 1 hr timeframe! Lots of smiles and thumbs up. Really makes my week.

148/365 Taken the wee hours of this morning - (Wednesday, 11/18/09) Trying to do the best I can to at least keep up with my current photos, & get to posting my older 365 entries when I have a chance to sort them out & edit them. What lesson am I to learn from all of this when I don't think I did anything wrong in the first place? Perhaps I will figure it out in time. View On Black
