First time taking the Phantom 4 Pro+ out for ferroequine pursuits, with the intention of capturing the 'purple boi'. If only I'd taken it a split second earlier...
EMR's unique purple powercar, 43274, leads 1C61 (the 1431 Leeds - London St. Pancras Int'l HST) over Fourteen Arches Viaduct, Wellingborough, with fellow celeb powercar 43102 "The Journey Shrinker" in tow.
Fifty years ago I started learning how to type on one of these. I failed. I hated it. Mistakes couldn't be fixed, and I made many mistakes. Correction tape was invented. I used it liberally. Eventually, a high-tech typewriter was invented-- one that displayed text before it hit the page, giving the typist a chance to backtrack-- if she caught the mistake in time. I bought one of these expensive machines immediately. I persevered. Eventually I learned to type, but never well and never fast, until I bought my first computer in the year 2000. Wow! Such speed! Such corrective actions so easily taken! I got fast at typing and fast at correcting. Now I am actually good at it. Better late than never.

"Practice makes perfect". When not deployed, Tier 1 operators from the Special Operations Group spend countless hours on the range to perfect their shooting.
This owlet wasn't quite ready to leave the nest. Here he is exploring the top of the dead tree which contains the nest, and practicing for his first flight, which would occur two days after this image was taken. Eagle Creek Park. You can see his first flight with mom supervising here: flic.kr/p/HkHhng and this is what he looked like after crash landing: flic.kr/p/HiiJL9

We went for a ride to the recycling depot and I snapped this out the window. This is one of the many golf courses in Albuquerque.
I got to catch a bit of rehearsal while touring the historic Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice. I think the director was the woman in the hooded jacket standing close to the stage. She moved around the theater a lot and seemed very intense and passionate. The performers preserved their voices for the show and sang quietly.
in preparation for a session with a 3.5 lb. (~1.6 kilos) Yorkie. if only the real pup could hold a stay like this. :)
I'm trying a new technique, i kinda like it and editing this girl was super fun, how does the hair look? and does this style look cute?
I'm not much for the crowds around an air show anymore, probably never have been. But the coolness of military jets is too strong to miss so I go to practice on the afternoon before. This year the Cleveland Air Show has the USAF Thundbirds. They flew directly in from Nellis and practiced a few maneuvers including several of these opposing passes. That gave me a chance to practice too. They're moving just a little bit faster than the trains that are usually in my viewfinder. I was real impressed with the camera's speed especially focusing; the photographer isn't as quick as he used to be. But got a few with planes in the frame. You see almost as much high end photography gear around planes as a railfan event, with a surprising number of crossover fans.
I'm still practicing on my focusing, especially on film. I haven't played with these lenses for ages

Contrast, colour, reflection. I liked the fact that the sky looked as if it were on fire and that destruction can be beautiful.

"I love you," whispered Hope before giving Seele a small little kiss.
"I love you more," whispered Seele before Kissing Hope 2 more times.
"No... you might love me the same if you kiss me 5 more times," stated Hope Before Kissing Seele 3 more times.
Well as bad timing would have it a ring on little Hopes Sell phone came throw...
"Its Henrietta I really need to go spend time with her she dose not even know we are getting married yet," Explained Hope reading the texted on her little Fox Phone.
"Okay... but just one more kiss before you go?" asked Seele using his puppy dog eyes on her.
"I will see you later tonight we need to practice more kissing than," said Hope with a big smile on her face and Kissing Seele at least 4 more times.
Seele Watched as little Hope jumped off his Lap and darted throw the woods it always amazed him how she could disrepair in to the wood lands with such ease.

Will Jose find out what the two little love birds have planned?
Or will they run away to Massachusetts were they let 14 year old boys and 12 year old girls get Married... With Judicial Consent.
I'm not sure if you all are aware of Zoe's magical skills - she almost never allows me to take pictures of her in action, because I supposedly distract her. This time she made an exception, because the practice was easy enough that my presence didn't bother her. Zoe also told me that she's curently training for something really complex that she's never tried before... I'm really curious what it is, because her skills are quite advanced and I thought she could do all the tricks already!

I'm not 100% satisfied with how this photo came out but I'm not sure what's wrong, either, so I just left it this way. Any constructive criticism is welcome lol, I still have a lot to improve!
Yoga. It's not for me. I wish it was - I'd love to be more stretchy and bendy and fitter and more spiritual. I really would. But I'd much rather choose a good run over twisting myself into inconceivable positions.
I do, however, love to watch yoga being practiced, seeing the beautiful bodies slowly lift into handstands, rise up into the downward dog, and so on, and on, and on!

From Wikipedia:
Yoga (Sanskrit, Pāli: योग yóga) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines that originated in India.[1] The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Within Hinduism, it refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal towards which that school directs its practices. In Jainism, yoga is the sum total of all activities — mental, verbal and physical.
Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. According to the authoritative Indian philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, yoga, based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, comprises one of the six main Hindu schools of philosophy (darshanas), together with Kapila's Samkhya, Gautama's Nyaya, Kanada's Vaisheshika, Jaimini's Purva Mimamsa, and Badarayana's Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.
The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to control," "to yoke" or "to unite." Translations include "joining," "uniting," "union," "conjunction," and "means." It is also possible that the word yoga derives from "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption." This translation fits better with the dualist Raja Yoga because it is through contemplation that discrimination between prakrti (nature) and purusha (pure consciousness) occurs.
Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy to a high level of attainment is called a yogi or yogini.
