Despite being a newborn, Baby Dibbles is very smart. I'm so glad mari sent her to me. Her smile is contagious.
BTW, things were better today. getting sleep was hard, but once I got to work I had plenty to do, and it helped me focus on something else for a while.
They're all different shots, each with a little different processing. I had to overcome some real problems to get these images. First, I still can't walk on two legs so I was either using a walker or the wheelchair (or both) to shoot this weekend. There were a couple of trees in the way here--a weeping willow on the right, which forced me to go vertical, and another tree to the left of me. And, of course, I was shooting into the sun. But all in all I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Could be worse.

"Overcoming:" A storm cloud appears as if is about to envelope Granite Mountain as seen through this ridgeline of the Granite Dells. This photo is available in 1:2 aspect ratio sizes (10 x 20, etc.). Taken on a different evening, but same location as my last photo because I love the Century plants and know that once they bloom, they have a limited time left.
Mom and I are TERRIFIED of spiders. So while at the museum we decided to overcome our fears and hold the two tarantulas they had out for people to handle. They were actually very soft feeling and light as a feather. My only regret is that no one was around to take my picture as proof. These are my mom's hands.
He who has overcome his fears will truly be free. - Aristotle
I wanted to share with you a self-portrait I took a few years back. Although not a recent photo, the fear of the unknown is a feeling that has crept up on me in these uncertain times. But I am hopeful that we will overcome the current situation and come out stronger. Be safe and keep smiling.
Here are 14 ways to overcome fear according to Josh Steimle:
1. Understand fear and embrace it.
2. Don’t just do something, stand there!
3. Name the fear.
4. Think long term.
5. Educate yourself.
6. Prepare, practice, role play.
7. Utilize peer pressure.
8. Visualize success.
9. Gain a sense of proportion.
10. Get help.
11. Follow others, find a recipe.
12. Have a positive attitude.
13. Be willing to pivot.
14. Focus on others as your motivation.

This is very similar to this photo from my last 365 project, and for good reason. The evenings before and after I took that photo I was assisting the students that I work with in a theatrical performance, much like I will be doing tonight.
The students that I work with are incredible, they are diverse and talented in many ways and have had to overcome challenges their entire lives. They aren't the students that get asked to dances or get picked to play on teams during gym although it's something that they desperately want. They are students with Autism, the ones with Downs Syndrome, the ones who typically get labeled as different or weird or many other terrible terms.
But, in this theatre class, they are actors. They are set designers, they are collaborators, they are students. For the past 3 years our school has developed a theatre program designed specifically to showcase inclusion and diversity and to celebrate the talent and accomplishments of ALL our students, regardless of ability levels. In the play tonight the cast is made up of students and adult supports that are putting aside diagnosis or disability and focusing on theatre and the chance to show the community what people can achieve when given the opportunity.
I go into work each day, yes because it's my job, but moreso because I look forward to interacting with these students, helping them learn and accomplish their goals and help them to feel like they belong in the school community. Tonight I'll be standing behind them, watching them step forward into centre stage and I know that I'll be beaming with pride and admiration for what they're doing and what they're achieving.

Just finishing up the tryptic, I can't tell which one is my favorite but I think there is a story to be told here. Thanks for all the positive feedback!
I still have more from the roll to show though so there's still some excitement there!
Point Bonita Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Point Bonita at the San Francisco Bay entrance in the Marin Headlands near Sausalito, California. Point Bonita was the last manned lighthouse on the California coast.
The original Point Bonita Lighthouse, a 56-foot (17 m) brick tower, was located too high. Unlike the East Coast of the United States, the West Coast has dense high fog, which leaves lower elevations clear. The original light was 306 feet (93 m) above sea level so the second order Fresnel lens was often cloaked in fog and could not be seen from the sea. In 1877, the lighthouse was moved to its current location at 124 feet (38 m) above sea level. The United States Coast Guard currently maintains the light and fog signal. It is accessible to the public during limited hours (12:30 PM–3:30 PM) on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Up until 1940 the lighthouse could be reached without a bridge, but erosion caused a trail leading to the lighthouse to crumble into the sea. A wooden walkway was installed, but when that became treacherous the suspension bridge was built in 1954.
As of January 6, 2010, the suspension bridge to the light house was closed to public access. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the bridge, which was 56 years old, started to rust. It underwent repairs in 1979 and again in 1991, but the metal components were not able to stand up to the sea spray. The new span reopened April 13, 2012. The new bridge construction cost a little over $1 million. It is made of tropical hardwood with steel suspension cables and attachments.[3]
Historical Information from USCG web site:
Point Bonita Light Station had the first fog signal on the West Coast. It was an Army surplus 24-pounder siege gun.
This light is the only one in America that can be reached only by crossing a suspension bridge.
In 1877 the lighthouse was moved to its current location because the original location was often too obscured by fog for the light to be visible from the bay. This location required the builders to overcome many challenges, including the need for a hand carved, 118-foot (36 m) long hard rock tunnel.[4]
More than 300 boats ran aground near the Golden Gate during the Gold Rush years. One shipwreck, the SS City of Rio de Janeiro, is just a few hundred feet offshore from the light.

It's not easy to overcome the inertia of driving a car, of transporting yourself from A to B. It's not uncommon for a great photo opportunity to emerge somewhere along the way. Sometimes I have the presence of mind to stop immediately to capture the moment. Other times I hesitate in my thinking while the car hurtles along at a mile a minute, taking me away from the scene. And the farther I go, the more difficult it becomes to turn back. Anyway on this fine day, my reaction to these clouds was immediate. I stopped, grabbed the camera and bounded up to a perfect vantage point. I was taken by the cloud formation and how it seemed to undulate in response to the contours of the earth beneath. Almost as if there was some invisible connection. As I stood here in the brilliant light, looking up the slope, my mind flashed back to me as a young child. In this vision, I was hurtling down a snow covered hill much like this one, riding a tiny aluminum saucer. These saucers were intended expressly for coasting, but in retrospect seemed to put the rider in great peril. There was no steering or braking. One simply hopped on, shoved off, and hoped for the best. Totally thrilling as a child, despite numerous rollovers and encounters with trees and rocks. I wonder if those little saucers are still being manufactured, or if the cost of liability insurance and litigation brought about their demise. Or perhaps lack of interest. I rarely see anyone coasting these days. I think my little saucer epitomized the simpler times of my youth.

We started with nothing. We built our knowledge, our population, our cities, industry and technology. We have built tools, over came the oceans, landed a man on the moon. We have learned to defy sickness and have mastered organ transplants, and challenge genetic engineering But we cannot figure out how to live together, to understand our differences, or overcome our conflicts. So, we build more powerful weapons, loose lives in battle, scorch our planet and dismiss communication....until we are again left with nothing, not even our humanity.
Ancora ampiamente utilizzate sui binari slovacchi nonostante i loro 47 anni di età, le locomotive del gruppo 183 prestano tutt'ora servizio in supporto alla serie 131 per superare i tratti di linea più acclivi tra Žilina, Košice e Čierna nad Tisou: a Štrba è facile avvistarle in spinta ai treni merci più pesanti, come questo carico di legname in transito alle prime luci di una giornata autunnale, con le nuvole basse a coprire le cime dei Monti Tatra.
Still widely used on the Slovakian tracks despite their 47 years of age, the locomotives of the 183 group still provide service in support of the 131 series to overcome the most steep line stretches between Žilina, Košice and Čierna nad Tisou: in Štrba it is easy to sight them pushing the heaviest freight trains, like this load of timber in transit at the first lights of an autumn day, with low clouds covering the tops of the Tatra Mountains.
Picture of the week 30 Jul - 06 Aug 2018 on Trainspo.com
A wonderful friend agreed to pose for this image during a workshop I gave last month! I think we can all agree she's the best. :)
This photo has been made using 5 vertical photos that were made with my Nex 6 set at f5.6, 15 sec and ISO 100 (I used a ND400 filter and a ND8 filter to keep the shutter speed low).
I stitched them together in Lightroom.
This is the first time I use this technique. I needed to have a wider angle for the scene, but didn't have it, and can't afford to buy a wide-angle lens currently.
All in all, it's not a perfect technique, but a great one that helped me overcome my lack of gear without spending money at all. I could take this shot of Saint-Vincent, in Lyon, as I was hoping, and I hope you'll enjoy this photo as much as I did when I took it !
Cheers !
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Mariensäule is a Marian column located on the Marienplatz in Munich, Germany. Mary is revered here as Patrona Bavariae (Latin: Protector of Bavaria). It was erected in 1638 to celebrate the end of Swedish occupation during the Thirty Years' War, to be precise, following a respective vow by Duke Elector Maximilian I of Bavaria if the ducal residential cities of Munich and Landshut would be spared from war destruction. The column is topped by a golden statue of the Virgin Mary standing on a crescent moon as the Queen of Heaven, created in 1590. The figure was originally located in the Frauenkirche. Mariensäule in Munich was the first column of this type built north of the Alps and inspired erecting other Marian columns in this part of Europe.
At each corner of the column's pedestal is a statue of a putto, created by Ferdinand Murmann. The four putti are each depicted fighting a different beast, symbolizing the city's overcoming of adversities: war represented by the lion, pestilence by the cockatrice, hunger or famine by the dragon and heresy by the serpent.
when I was a kid in the sixties growing up in the wilds of Surrey,
the nearest "big city" was New Westminster and we would often
go there on the bus which seemed to run infrequently,
so we often either missed it,
or had to run for them as we usually left late -
my mom was chronically later for everything her entire life -
my younger sister could run the fastest
and one time she made the bus driver wait for us
by sitting on the bus stairs until we arrived huffing and puffing :)
I think it took maybe 45 minutes to travel to the bus depot
on Royal Avenue behind the Royal Towers Hotel.
Then we would skip down Sixth Avenue.
It was always fun for us even though my mom
never bought much as money was scarce in those days .
The trip home involved the long trudge up the hill shown in this photo,
and we always walked on the west side of the street ....
Now, sixty years have passed, buses are frequent, there is a skytrain,
but most of the stores we enjoyed are gone.
Whenever I am in New Westminster now,
I am overcome with waves of nostalgia
and memories when life was simpler.
