I have this awful habit of waking up sleeping things when I'm hiking. First the marmots, now this poor chap. I moved on quickly so he could resume his slumber. I am just glad it wasn't a bear.
As with everyone, Covid has made people put there lives on hold. This is one of my son’s who has been locked down in London for months. To see him run down the beach and run into the sea was quite emotional. I have the feeling that the new normal has arrived. Childhood can be resumed under a new set of rules.
Take care out there.
All the best......
Some Hadada ibis maintain a pair bonding throughout the year. Commonly, a female, with her wings half-open, approaches a male and touches her beak to his beak. After this brief mutual beak-to-beak touching, she resumes feeding elsewhere among the party. Billing behavior of pairs includes rattling of beaks up and down and side-to-side while nodding heads. Courtship includes the offering of sticks by each bird to the other 😄, followed by neck intertwining, mutual preening, head shaking

As the swan approached to the margin of the water, I thought it perhaps had designs on our picnic lunch. (A woman on the seat next to us beat a hasty retreat.)
But the swan soon resumed its preening, which it had started in the water, and finally was energetically removing, with its beak, tiny feathers which fluttered down to the pebbly shore.
Yes they are back!
Wie had in juni 2018 durven dromen dat we nog eens 67400 zouden kunnen zien voor de ballasttreinen uit Frankrijk naar de steengroeve in Quenast?
Ik alleszins niet en toch is het sinds 28 februari 2020 terug van dat... niet dat ik daar rouwig om ben ;-)
Met de twee laatste 67400'en die beschikken over Memor (tussen Quévy en Quenast ligt nalemijk geen ETCS en daardoor volstaat enkel Memor) wordt er tot in mei gependeld met ballasttreinen.
Yihaa: eindelijk terug leuke treinen in de buurt.

Yes they are back!
From the 28th of February SNCF resumed the traffic of ballast trains between Somain and Quenast.
It was evident that a (first) picture of those trains would follow soon on my stream: from my home town it is only a couple of kilometers to Quenast.
Glad to see this once again in Belgium!

This Oregon/Dark Eyed junco was enjoying a snack when I interrupted. Soon resumed with the snacking.
When the humans stop playing for a bit, Jasper will plop down on the hearth with a heavy sigh. "How long must I wait for the fun to resume?!?" Poor neglected dog 😜
(Haha, I just noticed that the map no longer says "A mysterious place with no name" But its not the San Tan Mobile Village either.)

Dear Friends, Contacts and Viewers, today i´m back again to Lugar.Citadino Flickr to resume picture uploads.
The reason was that initially i´ve lost all my data from my previous laptop due to technical issues (an HP. Seriously, please never use a PC from this brand) but after the efforts made by a local recovery firm, i´ve recovered all the data.
This time was hard in picture terms. The possibility of a definitive data lost was at the corner, but with the professional help, i´m recovering the normality.
With a new laptop and all data recovered, in the next posts i´ll readapt to my Flickr.
I´m expect that the new and old photos will be sensational as always.
Sincerely,
Felipe Burgos Álvarez

Easter is now well behind us and I've been back in NYC for nearly a month at this point...
I've managed to unpack my suitcases and get more-or-less caught up with the stuff that accumulated in my absence ... but it was only a couple weeks ago that I was able to get back outside with my camera, to resume the "streets of New York" and "peeps in the 'hood" street-photography projects that I carried out during much of 2013 and 2014.
Because I have a strong desire to let the photos sit untouched for a month before I start editing them (which involves far less discipline than the late Gary Winogrand, who apparently waited a full year before he got any of his film processed!), I won't be able to inspect any of these street-photography shots until early May.
And that means I'll have to spread out my remaining Florida sunrise shots, and probably upload only one or two new ones each day ... unless some other photo project comes along in the next couple of weeks...
Meanwhile, I will continue uploading some photos taken by my grandparents in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, out in the American West.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Apr 27, 2015.
*******************************
I spent the winter months of 2014-2015 in a warm spot on the beach in Indialantic, FL in order to escape what turned out to be a really brutal winter in the Center of the Universe, as well as most of New England. I'm now back in NYC, but I still have a backlog of Florida shots to edit and upload.
On most of the mornings I was there, I manage to get up about an hour before sunrise every morning, and be out on the beach for a morning walk just as the sun peeked up above the horizon.
On the very first morning, and every morning thereafter, I noticed that I was not the only person on the beach. There were joggers and walkers out getting their exercise, and *lots* of fishermen casting their lines out into the surf. But down by the 5th Avenue boardwalk -- where you can park your car and get a cup of coffee/latte/whatever from the local Starbucks -- there were lots and lots of people who clearly came down here just to watch the sunrise. This was particularly true after the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, for we then "sprang forward" and celebrated the arrival of dawn about 7:30 AM, instead of 6:30-ish.
These are some of the morning scenes that I saw -- the birds, the people, the long empty beaches, and the glorious sunrise...
Did some long overdue birdwatching over the weekend, so will be "taking a break" from the arboretum pics before resuming again.
Spotted this male Northern Cardinal at the "Blazing Hot Blend" feeder - pepper treated seeds to deter the squirrels and seems to work, too. Mr Cardinal is looking a bit ragged but not sure if it's due to the stress from parenting or because of the extremely hot weather we've had in our area lately? Or something else completely different?
** Mind you, our hot weather is nothing like some other areas are experiencing but still - hot for our area! And no doubt the heat affects wildlife regardless of where they are located.
I’ve just come back from our annual holiday in Cornwall and I’m desperately trying to fit back into my ‘normal’ life! Funny how some time out of your routine makes you evaluate things, (or is that just me?) But that’s for another post.
Anyway one thing that really struck me whilst down there this year is that the buzz that usually accompanies me whilst out photographing was much more elusive this year. Now there could be a multitude of reason for this, (I’ve explored many before) but one of the main ones I feel is that I’m becoming very hard on myself with regards creative expectations. Images that I once would have been happy with now don’t give me that buzz I once had.
I seem to be putting creative pressure on myself to develop, but its backing me into a corner and the harder I push the less and less I meet those punishing expectations. Subsequently this self imposed elitism is ironically making it more and more difficult to produce images that give me that special feeling that got me into photography in the first place.
Anyway I don’t feel like making this a long post, so unusually for me I will be brief. (I can almost hear the sighs!!!) I’m sure normal service will resume shortly... (o:
Stranger #94 – Chlo
“I will resume my psychology studies. I will do a post graduate course in Geneva. In the beginning, I didn’t really know, I did the undergraduate course. Then, I took a break. I want to become a psychologist because I used to be down and now I’m better. I want to accompany people, to help them. Where do I see myself in 5-10 years? I’ll be a psychologist, I’ll have my practice. If it’s possible I want my practice in a forest, I want a simple life. I want to live with someone I love or not or live with people I love. I know what it’s like to be down and then to get better. Some advice for my younger self? Believe!”
“Believe in what?”
“In me! Some advice for people? Believe in yourselves! Do I still have faith in humanity? Yes, of course. I’m studying psychology because I believe, in humanity I don’t know but in each person, yes. The best memory from my childhood? When I’d wake up in the morning, my father would be mowing the lawn, it smelled life cut grass, I would see my mother planting flowers. That’s too precious. What am I proudest of? Having gone through with my therapy. It took two and a half years. There are a lot of different types of therapy, I did a cognitive behavioural therapy. The aim is to give you tools to face certain situations.”
In order to make Chlo's portrait I used a reflector for the first time. Clara was kind enough and skillful enough to hold the reflector for me in order to light Chlo properly.
Thank you very much Chlo!

“Je vais reprendre mes études de psycho, en master à Genève. Au début je savais pas trop. J’ai fait la licence et j’ai fait une pause. J’ai envie de faire psy parce que j’allais mal et ça va mieux et j’ai envie d’accompagner les gens. Dans 5-10 ans, j’aimerais être psy, avoir mon cabinet, si possible avoir mon cabinet dans la forêt., avoir une vie simple. Vivre avec quelqu’un que j’aime ou pas ou vivre avec des gens que j’aime. Je sais ce que ça fait d’aller mal et d’aller mieux. Un conseil à moi même quand j’étais plus jeune? Y croire!”
“Croire à quoi?”
“En moi! Un conseil aux autres? De croire en eux. Est-ce que j’ai encore foi en l’humanité? Oui, bien sûr. Je fais psycho pour ça, parce que je crois, en l’humanité je sais pas mais en chaque individu. Le meilleur souvenir de mon enfance? Quand je me levais le matin, que mon père tondait la pelouse, ça sentait le gazon, je voyais ma mère planter des fleurs. C’est trop précieux. La chose dont je suis la plus fière? Être allé au bout de ma thérapie. Ça a pris deux ans et demi. Il y a plusieurs types de thérapies, j’ai fait une thérapie cognitivo-comportementale. Le but c’est de te donner des outils pour faire face à des situations.”
Pour faire le portrait de Chlo, j'ai utilisé un réflecteur que Clara a eu la gentillesse et la dextérité de tenir pour éclairer Chlo au mieux.
Merci beaucoup Chlo!

While in the midst of this “wait a little longer” I am going to hush my incessantly worrying mind and harness opportunity. There is a “resume” button on the horizon. So here we go.
Time to press “resume” and move forward into this year with expectancy. Step into the future.
Do you need to recommence?

I finally have the time to resume uploading of my photos after almost a week. A week that has been rather difficult for me due to some personal issues in my life. I have had to learn how to cope with it emotionally, although it is easier said than done sometimes. I suppose this is the game of life that everyone has to go through. I am not a religious person, in fact I am more of an atheist. But I do read the Bible and the scriptures from other religions occasionally from time to time to spiritual help from time to time.
Anyway, in Korea, it is common to see pastors like this in the photo preaching to follow Jesus and repent. It can be a little surprising for some that Christianity is the largest religion in Korea!
In case anyone is wondering what the sign reads, it says: "Jesus is Savior" in Mandarin.
Since we liked both photos of that Icterine Warbler and couldn't make up our minds which one to post we now give you the second one...
As his correct name sounds a bit icteric and sick I just renamed him by the literal translation of his German name. In German his name Gelbspötter means yellow mocker referring to his yellowish color and his habit to mock the songs of other birds. Actually this one mocked us by singing for a long time nicely hidden in a tree and then resuming his song on the top of a high tree, too far away for our lenses ;-)
Icterine Warbler.
Seen in the nature-sanctuary "Ochsenmoor" near Lake Dümmer - Niedersachsen - Germany.
Da wir beide Fotos von dem Gelbspötter gerne leiden mochten und uns nicht entscheiden konnten, geben wir Euch nun das zweite...
Dieser Gelbspötter hat zwar lange und ausführlich für uns gesungen, aber immer schön versteckt im Baum und hat am Ende ganz hoch oben auf einem anderen Baum weitergemacht, so daß wir uns doch etwas verspottet fühlten ;-)

Many people ask me advice about their portfolio and CV and I always tell them to be creative to stand out of the crowd. This doesn't apply to all kind of jobs, but when you're talking about creative jobs, there are simply no rules on how to present yourself.
Don't mention the name of your kindergarden school, don't mention you've been working at McDonalds during summer break. Believe me, nobody cares. And if your future employer does care, then he'll select you on the wrong criteria. You don't want to work for such a company.
So get creative and make something awesome from your portfolio. Take the above portfolio as an example. Michael doesn't show any of its works and still he succeeds in showing off his talent. Not only he can create great graphics, he also proves to be able to turn 'boring' facts and figures into something exciting. Well done Michael!

Oh yeah, and also check out my portfolio:
I started my resume and think it is coming along nicely, a few things need to be changed and once I feel it is finished I will fine tune it. The layout is complete, now just for the wording. Other than working on getting everything set up so that I can start applying for jobs (entry level graphic designer) I didn't do much.
