You need not comment on this if you already did. Or even if you did not for that matter. I had posted this and the two shots below through Lightroom 4's Publishing function, and it seems that somehow I deleted them without realizing it. This has happened twice now with Lightroom pictures, and now I am paranoid and will have to check my entire butterfly set. Sheesh. Anyway, this was species #19 for the year when I posted it. Still is, just out of order now.

OK... what DO I do with my hands? Or my CHIN? Again... I used time lapse trying lots of different poses. Nothing looks as I expect or intend. MUST try to get different backdrop. But at least I'm getting caught up (was 5 days behind, this morning).

Built in the XIV/XV century to commemorate the victory of the 6.000 men of the Portuguese army, against the 32.000 Spanish soldiers in one of their many invasion attempts, the Monastery of Batalha is the most glorious example of the Gothic architecture in Portugal.
The story tells that in the 1383-1385 crisis, when the Spanish army with their king was marching to Lisbon to claim the throne they encountered a small Portuguese army. Laughing of such small force they've decided to pass around because they didn't want to be delayed in their conquest. The Portuguese seeing that the only chance to keep the independence was to fight and win, started to insult the Spanish calling them cowards. It had its result as the Spanish decided to turn back to teach the Portuguese a lesson...
Right from the start the battle was a catastrophe to the Spanish. When their cavalry charged, the knights started to fall into the many traps built in the battle camp. Those who escaped reached the Portuguese army in a disordered formation and tried to pull back. But while some were trying to get back, large numbers of Spanish knights not understanding what was happening continued to charge and push all in their front against the Portuguese spears! More, the Portuguese army chose a very narrow space to fight and the long spears of the Spanish knights were not maneuverable, so they started to break them in half to make them shorter. The problem was that when the broken piece was thrown to the ground the horses tripped in them and fell...
Soon it became a catastrophe to the Spanish and their king was forced run to Spain barely escaping the Portuguese persecuting force. This victory kept Portugal safe for the next 200 years...

Poor Flickr Uploadr. It just can’t help itself. It’s hinky as hell.
Fortunately, Flickr is so good at crafting a friendly user experience, they even get me to feel warm fuzzies about them when their app barfs.
Some of y’all might think it’s too precious by half. But it made me feel good, even though I couldn’t accomplish my goal. And that’s not nothing.
‘course, I’d rather that my pics uploaded. Flickr, fix that buggy OS X Uploadr. Pretty please?
Question: Are #Demodex mites the same as head lice?
Answer: No, mites are different to head #lice. Mites are parasites that live inside hair follicles and feed off of the oils they produce. Lice are larger, and can be seen by the naked eye. They live on top of the human scalp, and feed exclusively on blood.

this cute kid caught in Central Park, NYC running after this drone made me think about the constant crave typical of new generations for technologies and discoveries.
La quatrième fois que je les ais vu, ils avaient préparés le coup, et s'étaient mis sur leur 31. Ils m'ont demandé de leur faire des photos pour envoyer à la famille.
J'avais l'impression d'être une sorte de "photographe publique" ou plus simplement le photographe du coin. C'était bien, et j'espère que les photos leur plairont...
En été, ils étaient là, assis tous ensemble, par terre, devant la
maison. Les bébés, les parents, les vieux, tout en couleurs dans la
ville noire. Aujourd'hui déjà il fait nuit. Lumière à la fenêtre, comme
un ailleurs dans le soir d'automne. Ils ouvrent leur porte, nous
souhaitent la bienvenue dans un anglais qui sent les épices et brille
comme ces bougies qui flottent, le soir, sur le Gange. Leurs noms nous
emportent :
Pradeep, le père : lumière,
Subashini, la mère : Dieu de la prospérité,
Shreya, la petite fille : connaissance et beauté
Vishvakrit, le petit garçon : créateur du monde
Nous repartons dans la nuit, baignés de la lumière de leur sourire.

March is apparently question month. To ask me a question, post a comment here: toddpage.livejournal.com/370916.html or send me a flickr mail. [Or leave it here if anomynity is not of any importance - the lj post comments are screened so that only I can see them]
All questions: Here
Question 12:what drives you to photograph the world you see? I know its a form of self expression, a way to capture what you feel/think/want etc. But youre also a fairly musical person and yet you dont write 365 days of music lyrics...So simply put, why photo?
That's an interesting question. I often tie my love for music into my 365 project, by applying lyrics to photos in the text and alt-text. Usually I give a link to some form of listening when I do this, but sometimes I just leave the lyric, with no clue whether or not people will get the reference. Alot of times, they're inspired by music directly... I get the concept or mood from what I'm listening to.
But I think you mean why don't I write a song every day? Photography is my primary form of expression, and it ties in to my emotions better than anything I can or could write. I love writing, actually, but believe me, we're all thankful what I write is not poetry/lyrics. I have the last poem I wrote on LJ... but I think I'm too embarrassed of it to link to it. It's pretty awful. My personal music abilities are more of the practical nature. I can play trombone, guitar, trumpet, some piano, a little violin, and some accordion. I really want to learn the banjo. I suppose I could write a song a day, chord/rhythymwise... but I don't feel the same connection, creation-wise to writing or creating music that I do to photography.
My connection to music is absolutely huge. It affects my mood, my body language, the way I think at times... and I feel most songs, melodically, lyrically, or both, in a pretty intense way... but all of that is mostly as an audience, and not as a creator. I write as well, but Ifind when I try to write every day, I end up... not. I usually end up writing about once or twice a week, on good weeks. But I greatly enjoy the purge of writing as well. I also find I'm more reticent about sharing my writing with the world... either because it directly reveals more of me, or because I don't think it's of the right caliber.
I'm driven by what's inside me. Theres this little force that sees the way a shadow plays and wants to capture it. And then wants to capture it better. And then wants to capture it differently. A way of presenting what I'm thinking in an interpretable, but still symbolic to me, manner. Maybe others don't get the message I did in it... but I know its there. And I can remember entire days, believe it or not, by looking at that days 365, no matter how random it is - which is neat in itself. And I'm not saying every photo is a piece of art, or symbolic masterpiece. Sometimes a photo is just a photo. But I like to think there is more in there.
