Photography Scavenger Hunt Round 30
.
Yesterday marked the second day of album reveals for the Scavenger Hunt. I've been trying my hand at this "Game" for the past 8 years and have made many true friends through "The Hunt".
.
The First two albums that were reveled were "Hope" and "Positive Space". Participates are allowed and encouraged to interpret the word in any way they can imagine. Also any camera can be used from a cell phone to a high end DSLR. You can use Photoshop (or other editing tools) to enhance your image or you can just submit your shot as is.
.
For Positive Space, I shot power lines, since they carry electricity which I feel is a positive force in our world. Positive Space refers to the subject or areas of interest in an artwork.
.
Here are links to both full albums, in case you want to see all the submissions:
scavengerhunt.photography/round-30-hope-reveals/
scavengerhunt.photography/round-30-reveals-positive-space/
.
Enjoy!
And let me know if you have any questions about The Hunt or my images.
.
Cheers,
Wade

288/365 Be positive.
In early June I decided to be more positive, I thought look at the good side of things, to change what I didn't like in my life and above all, stop being negative. and I got it. Now enjoy more each time, when I have a problem always look at the advantages and how can solve it. And I'm much more happy. Have a good day/night.

A principios de Junio me propuse ser mas positivo, pensé en mirar el lado bueno de las cosas, en cambiar aquello que no me gustaba de mi vida y sobre todo, dejar de ser negativa. y lo conseguí ahora disfruto más de cada momento, cuando tengo un problema siempre miro las ventajas y cómo lo puedo solucionar. Pasar un buen día/noche.

many, that there should be no gloom & doom
in the mind, heart, or spirit of a true believer!"

Below asterisks is update on me and Covid-19. I put it with my bench picture for Bench Monday (10-11-21) and I'm also putting it here with this different bench on Monday (10-18-21). Whew, I need to sit on a bench and rest after all this writing. ;o)
******************************************************************
I tried to make this to all who posted here, and I keep messing it up. So I'll just say without individually listing you, that I am doing better. I did have vaccine last April and May and then I tested positive for Covid on October 6, 2021 and received some sort of Anti-viral I.V. which is not yet totally approved by FDA (I'm guessing FDA is who does the approvals) but it is the best they have yet. It seemed to have about 3 names, and I don't seem to get any of them correct. It had a 70% chance of working to stop the Covid-19 for those who got it, and I misinterpreted that to mean that 30% of people who went for that procedure would die. I was much too *all or nothing* in my interpretation. 30% would NOT all just fall over dead. Many would just still have Covid19 but not die, and I guess some would end up dying. I progressed well, spent 10 days in what my doctor called self-isolation and I mix up with the word quarantine. I was pretty well behaved, but I had either my doctor or Lane County Health's permission (I can't remember, or maybe it was the medical staff that gave me the I.V.). Anyway I asked for and received an OK to go out in my vehicle, by myself, and take pictures through my windshield with rain on it (Raintings) but not mingling with any people. I was tired so didn't go out very many times, but I did a few; it felt nice to do a fun hobby without infecting anyone and without making myself worse.
By the way, the gray and white and black bench was where I starting composing this information. That particular bench was possibly at RiverBend Hospital in Springfield, Oregon but had nothing to do with this recent bout of Covid-19. I just went though my archives for a needed bench picture for last Monday, October 11, 2021, When I started writing up some information about how I am doing, I started on the page with that bench. I decide later to also post the information to this picture above, a tub of flowers on each side of and supporting a bench.
This Monday, the 18th of October, 2021, I was out of *quarantine* and pronounced today doing well by my doctor; so I didn't use old archive pictures, but went out and took this one just today, well actually NOT this one with the modern looking pattern of black, white and gray that I first starting composing what I wanted to say;, but the NEW one with a bench supported by two slatted tubs of brightly colored flowers. I started this script to address my nice Flickr friends about how I'm doing. I think though, that I will put this up in the description box and also put it on the bench with flowers on each side, and do that right away tonight 10-18-21 so it will be in 2 places. There now, that should all be clear as a Texas River.
Doc said next comes Flu Shot soon, but no Covid-19 things like a possible 3rd vaccine until January 2022. So thanks for inquiring.
I need to go tell my Flickr friend Debbie that she can blow the candle out now. That was so sweet of her to keep it burning until I said I was OK. Thanks all, Delina

I've snapped the Scottish National Gallery of Modern art before, but on yesterday's walk I remembered it had Martin Creed's installation art above the pillars, an illuminated sign "Everything is going to be alright" (2008)
I've always liked that piece and its place right above the entrance to the galleries. But right now, with all that is going on, the message takes on different connotations. I suppose all art - the good art anyway - changes to reflect our personal and societal influences, so that's not surprising.
Nonetheless given the stress and strain we are all under right now, I thought I would take another photo of it and share it with you. Deep breath, my friends, "everything is going to be alright."

Oh yeah, if I've learned anything from Flickr over the years, it's that there's a certain group of nylon aficionados out there that just loves them some reinforced heels and toes. 😍
Fortunately, Daisy came loaded for bear yesterday afternoon, wearing her trusty Kunert Glatt & Softig 20's as usual. 😜 Thanks to sweet friend Linda for putting us on to them. Where would we be without that dear lady? 😊💖💖💖

Though many of us consider wildfires to be adverse, the positive impact on the environment cannot be over looked. Among other things, wildfires result in removal of old growth that can choke out desirable trees. During a wildfire, nutrients are released into the soil by burning dead or decaying matter. In turn, the added nutrients results in productive new plant growth.
However, statistics show that four out of five wildfires are started by humans. I think it is best to let Mother Nature determine its own course in this matter.
The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”

My favorite stomping ground, Heather Farm, used to be a preserve and abounded with all manner of wildlife from 16 species of birds to my annual otter family. My wife and I were walking under a group of oaks, and there was a squawk. We looked up and there was a Cooper's chick that was perhaps a month old. And then we spotted the nest at the top of a tree, unphotographable, but we could see movement. An hour later, there were two chicks on separate branches. And that became our daily ritual for almost a month until they took off (in opposite directions - Cooper's are highly territorial). But on this day, when they were truly fledglings (juveniles), we got both vying for food from their parent(s), and obviously doing very well. A week or so later, when they were trying out their wings, we had one "crash land" in a bush no more than 10 feet from me, and another landed on a railing close enough to pet him if I wanted to and I didn't. It was a summer to remember.
The one fact that "spoiled" the experience is finding out that Cooper's mortality in their first year is 80%! These hawks hunt in forests and fly between branches and high speeds. (Squirrels are preferred.) We came back at the same time the following year, but no Cooper's were present, "only" Red-shouldered hawks which nest much higher up, but as adults present themselves beautifully.
On a positive note, Cooper's hawks (aka as when I was a kid, "chicken hawk") live 12 years in the wild. The longest lived Cooper's (tagged) was 20 years old!
