Talk about bad life choices. I should have sacked Service Delivery and been a Vet!
Playing with kittens beats sitting on my ass.
I'm so disappointed though that it's not pin-point focus.
So what's I like about this is seeing how time spent on the lilac kitty shows compared to the brown one. I need to fine-tooth combe her outline in much more detail to soften the edges.

Can't wear this yet under "combat" conditions--too wintry out! But at least I can see if it works or not.

The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
Rocks dont see it.
Bless and sit down.
Forgive and forget.
Practice kindness all day to everybody
and you will realize you’re already
in heaven now.
That’s the story.
That’s the message.
Nobody understands it,
nobody listens, they’re
all running around like chickens with heads cut

Since some years I jog regularly. But I always have problems to keep on track during the winter season. Because of the bad weather and the darkness I lose my motivation. So this year I have a plan. Some weeks ago I registered myself for the Berlin Half Marathon next March. I hope this will help me to stay motivated.
Currently I run 11 km (around 6miles) two times a week. I also bought new running shoes because my old ones were 14 years old and felt into pieces.
This photo shoot was one of the most difficult shoots I've ever done. It looks simple maybe but it was hard to take such a close up and getting the sharpness, the focus and the pose of my feet which I had in my mind. Also I always had to make a break because other runners interrupted me perpetually. I took 350 pictures and I'm still not one hundred percent happy with this picture.

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.

I'm still practicing on my focusing, especially on film. I haven't played with these lenses for ages

It took me about a week. A couple of hours a day, sometimes twice a day. Watching and studying this Kingfisher. Learning its routine. Where does it perch? How often does it dive for fish? (Sometimes only once an hour.) How far does it dive from its perch? Which direction does it fly? I processed all the behavioral information, now it was time to work on technique. Which focus mode? How do I time the shutter release? What settings, and much, much more. Then it was trial and error and error and error. A couple of "almost got it". Finally, late in the afternoon, on the last day of July, success. Belted Kingfisher coming out of the water with a fish.
Today Little Hope and young Seele are working on the prefect wedding kiss for every one knows its the best part of the show!
"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 Henrietta be happy for Hope or Will she even know what it means to be Married?
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!
So I see these 3 (I think) big birds in the sky, kind of dive-bombing each other - I thought they were turkey vultures at first as I've watched the vultures play like that. Nope, Red-tailed hawks. I think, probably, they were juveniles working on their flight skills in the afternoon wind. What a thrill, not to mention challenge, as I stopped my car when I saw them, on a no-stopping side street, and hung my 500 out the window. A little flight practice for me too. Honestly, it felt like a real honor to witness.
