Was on a walk this afternoon and i spotted this guy swinging around about 15ft up.
I think it might have been getting an early flying lesson.
Saturday we hosted a private lesson at the stables. We went over general horse knowledge & safety before getting into our riding lesson where we covered gait changes, steering controls and then turned the kids loose on some jumps! 🐴

A lesson learnt: After talking with my friend Gary, I decided not to go to the Dover Patrol, but somewhere under the route posted.
So, that is why I was parked up at the edge of a field in Martin. I got distracted by a buzzard, rattled off a few shots, then noticed that my battery was nearly flat. I went back to my car to get my other camera body, just in case. I went back to the spot I was before, but was not happy.
I would walk onto the road. I checked my watch, ten to two.
I looked up.
There was the Vulcan, coming straight for me. I raised the camera, but with it set on 400mm and the dull background, it would not focus.
I tried again and again. Nothing.
The Vulcan was getting closer. Those shots I missed would have been sensational, or so I tell myself.
With the Vulcan almost overhead, I find it in the viewfinder and rattle off a few shot, this being the best.
The plane flew off, I got some OK ones, but nothing like the head on ones I should have got.

So this is the famous Mesa Arch at sunrise. I've got a huge number of these shots to go through, I'm sure I'll find one I like better than this one but this was my first attempt to post process one. Looking at it now I think I should lighten the foreground rock a little. This isn't the optimal view point for shooting but with so many people there this is where I ended up. I was actually the 3rd one there but I sat down, without setting up my tripod, to eat breakfast and the real estate quickly became very valuable. Well, lesson learned. Stake claim, then eat.
Shinku had started her Class a day ahead of Ala so that her children would have more time to understand the Lessons and get time to practice.
"Okay little ones its time to learn how to Summon and why we do it," Explained Shinku calling over the little ones to come closer to her.
"Whats summoning?" asked Little Eternity hoping it would be a new toy to play with.
"Come here children and I will show you," Shinku explained sounding sweet and playful with Little Eternity after all she understood that Eternity was 9 so she was not as mature as some of her other students.
As little Eternity looked at Shinku's hand win all of the sudden a light and rainbow came out from her hand! Than as little Eternity followed it she saw Butterflies flying above her head.
"Summoning is the power to call on something or some one and call them to your aid from no matter the distance away they are from you," Explained Young Mariposa in a very sweet but smart manner feeling it was important that the Little girl know how it worked!
"Yes my sweet Mariposa and today we are all going to learn how to Summon a Item and than win we are done we will learn now to put it back," Shinku Explained as she smiled up at both girls seeing she had their attention.
"Oh why do to need to put the Pretty Butterflies back thou," asked Little Eternity as she giggled and reached up to touch the Butterflies.
"Well its all ways important to put the things you Summon back since they do belong to a world of there own its not fair to keep them worlds apart after all they have family and friends they want to get back too," Stated Mariposa now trying her very best to sound super smart in front of Little Eternity.
"Very Good Mariposa your right yes and now that is the end of our class tomorrow you will work with me one on one to learn how to Summon your very own Item from another place," Sweet Shinku said with a smile as she looked up to her little innocent sweet Students faces.
"Can we play with the pretty Butterflies," asked Little Eternity as she giggled and held her arms out like they wore wings.
"Sure sweet hearts have fun with them," Sweet Shinku said bringing her class to a close and letting the girls play. Both girls got up and played with the Butterflies. She wanted and smiled till she had noticed something about one of her little girls...
What in the world," Thought Sweet Shinku as she noticed that little Mariposa looked like she had grown and started to develop in to a young lady. The only parablem with this was that Little Mariposa was only 11 so how the hell did she go from 11 to looking like she was 14 or 15 in just a week?
Thank you for following my stories today we have a 3 different Types of Pure neemo bodies so you can see how they look on the girls.
Little Eternity is on a XS body being its is the smallest.
Mariposa is on a S body that had the look of a young lady still to little to be a Woman just yet.
Sweet Shinku is on a M Body that very much looks like a Young Lady just starting her life as a Woman in the world.
I hope to get a L Body for another girl some time so every one can see how all of them look nest to each other in my photos ^_^

I've done something similar to this before, but I finally got the fairy dust to look how I want.
I'll be leaving around the 12th for a week. Unfortunately, I won't have access to the internet so I won't be able to upload for that time span. I will keep with my 365 and take pictures, however. And, I will send out prints to the print winners when I announce them on the 13th.
I'll have to catch up with everyone's streams when I return.
Print Giveaway! There are only two days left!!!
Named after French naturalist Rene Lesson, this colorful motmot is found from S. Mexico to Panama. Seen at Gamboa. Panama.
I have sooo missed my camera these past months! Life has led me elsewhere lately...
As artists our view through the lens is an invaluable tool..an extension of ourselves ... always ready to capture inspiration where ever it may be..
Today was 'self teach' day for me, iPad and paper in hand we worked on using MANUAL ONLY with available lighting !!
I LOVE MANUAL !!
and having more control of the end result... especially if it doesn't fit into the "artistic vision" of what the image was in your head... not to mention less time in post-production!!
A win-win no matter how you look at it!
Thank you ALL of my Flickr friends for your visits and your incredible streams that continue to delight , inspire and carry me away each time I visit...Explored # 433 thanks you one and all!!

Strobe Info: SB900 in a shoot thru umbrella to the right and a YN467II to the left shot bare
I recently discovered that it's tough to hold still for 8 seconds or more.
Even when you want to and haven't been drinking at all. Hmph. Go figure. : )
Took this for the Take a class with Dave & Dave Group.
The second task this week is to use sidelight.
Built 1911-13 for self-sufficient single women by a group of women, one of them Julia von Bahr, CEO in the housing company Hemtrefnad. Prominent men in Gothenburg also bought shares to support the company Hemtrefnad. A lot of women had started to work and had difficulties to afford an apartment. The building contained more than 50 apartments, most of them a room with a small kitchen. On the top floor there was a restaurant and a lounge, in the basement laundry and bath. The apartments were sought after and there was constantly a queue. Many of the tenants were female teachers and there were special rooms to give private lessons. The building was designed in national romantic style by the architects Hans Hedlund and his son Björner Hedlund.
In 1972 the times had changed and the building was rebuilt to student housing.

My camera suddenly started overexposing and at first I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until I got home and started thinking about it that I remembered the camera has an assignable thumb wheel that was set to EV. In the previous evening I was doing something with the camera at home and when I set it down I accidentally turned the wheel and unknowingly dialed in about +3EV. I ruined a few photos as you can see here, but I have now set the EV back to zero and turned off the thumbwheel function. Lesson learned the hard way.
