i nostri nonni hanno fatto l'italia, i nostri genitori se la sono fatta.... noi dobbiamo mantenerla....e ai nostri toccherà pedalare...

Ormai siamo a metà del 2008. È il momento di fare un bilancio per vedere come stai sfruttando le opportunità uniche che quest'anno ti ha riservato. Permettimi di farti una domanda, Ariete: ti stai dando da fare per alimentare il tuo fuoco interiore? In altre parole, stai facendo il possibile per essere sempre più motivato? Ti stai sforzando di dare la carica alle tue ambizioni e di raffinare le tue passioni? Se la risposta è sì, quest'anno troverai il modo di fare quello che più ti piace per la maggior parte del tempo, ottenendo dal mondo i riconoscimenti che meriti. È ora di seguire la tua vocazione più profonda.

Stay home and stay safe. It’s hard for the young generation.

For the last few years, we schedule a visit to Badlands National Park, Custer State Park, and Wind Cave National Park in western South Dakota in mid-May to view and photograph the newest generation of bison. All three parks have healthy populations of Bison, though in our experience, Custer is the most reliable place to see them.

The young bison calves (aka red dogs) are cute and entertaining. We never tire of seeing them. Here, the calves, moms and some "teenagers" relax in a Custer State Park meadow.

“Lost Stars”

(Song by Adam Levine)

.

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies

Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see

Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow

Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand

I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow

So let's get drunk on our tears and

.

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

.

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?

Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality

Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow

Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer

Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending

Where we're dancing in our tears and

.

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

.

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name

I thought I heard you out there crying

Just the same

.

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

.

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name

I thought I heard you out there crying

.

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Two (Ammophila sp) Thread waisted Wasps, Found sleeping on each other at the early morning:

I went for a normal small photography trip on my own at the "Wild" area next to my living place, At the first few minutes I found these two wasps sleeping on each other, I was surprised because it's the first time I get to see this type of behavior, I also thought they are mating but when I came back later when the sunrise began (the background colors) they just woke up and went on their way. Maybe they got to mate before sleeping and just stayed at the same position till the morning, who knows... Have a wonderfu week you all!

The children grown up in the 21st century will tend to believe that flowers and all the other things will look better in the virtual reality i.e. on the screens of smartphones, tablets, computer, video games or smart TV?

Have a good evening!

The LegCo (Legislative Council) election in Hong Kong is just finished and I am happy to see many new faces in the political scene.

This is repost of a picture taken in the Santa Claus parade 2014.

It is always happy to see the up and coming rising stars. Such as Michael Jackson while he was still in Jackson 5, or reading Alice Munro when she first published her novel "Dance of the Happy Shades".

What is the most memorable up and coming rising star you have seen in the recent years?

This is candid taken in Rogers Santa Claus Parade last Sunday in downtown Vancouver.

Have a great Tuesday!

We seem to have a healthy and happy population of approximately 80 frogs in our smallish garden pond - it's lucky I dug it deep and kept it fish free. Here are some of our frogs showing off this years first batch of spawn.

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walk around my favourite forest park (Parkanaur). They have a wonderful herd of white fallow deer, and I happened to arrive in the evening when they were out in the open. This gorgeous young buck (you can just see his antlers beginning to grow) looked a little startled, but I still got close enough to get this shot :)

Hope you are all having a great Wednesday, at least we're half way through the week :)

Thanks again everyone for the great comments on my previous photos, I am overwhelmed by how kind you all are. Trying to catch up is so difficult, but I'll get there :)

I rather like the look of these especially in their tangerine yellow livery, and I'm sure the raiseable air suspension will give more than ground adequate clearance on any sites they might visit.

I guess we are living in a "social" era with some kind of twisted idea of what "social" is all about. Don't get me wrong, technology and media and all the cool things we have are great but... I feel like people lost themselves out there and forgot that there are more ways to be "social" than a #hashtag.
