Have a wonderful weekend, friends!! I will be hopping with one leg after spraining my ankle early this morning. :-(
At (Lutheran) All Faiths Cemetery.
A month ago, I sprained my ankle walking around here. This time I stepped much more carefully.
Decades of storms have thrown down many statues that once topped gravestones and damaged them. Some of them the cemetery places/stands on the ground. The groundskeepers put this statue's wings at its feet.
When I found out I was going to be in Hawaii this entire month for work, first thing I did was a quick flickr search for "Oahu landscape". Nothing really caught my eye as far as what I was thinking of capturing, so it was off to google maps to study the topography and identify potential sites.
From there, I started scouting locations after work. One site involved hiking almost 6 miles, and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I didn't even unpack my camera or wait for sunset. At another place, I slipped, fell, scraped my leg, and sprained my toe... that place wasn't all that great either. At other places, I just went to observe how the light and shadows fell during sunrise or sunset.
The scouting missions went on for more than a week, until I found this spot at the bottom of a seaside cliff.
I had seen it from another location I had scouted, and so I drove there, parked by the side of the highway, hopped over the guardrail and slowly scrambled down the cliff. The waves that afternoon were pounding really hard, so I looked for an alternate exit point in case the tide swiftly rose without warning and I was blocked from my original path down. Then it was just a matter of finding a comp, and waiting.
The booming of the waves was a bit intimidating at times, but at the same time, the solitude of being completely alone (which is hard to find in a place like Hawaii) was quite calming.
I sat around for more than an hour and watched the occasional humpback whale jump out of the water, until the sun finally dipped below the horizon. The sky slowly caught on fire and I shot.
Patience and persistence finally paid off.

Sweet irony as I badly sprained my ankle last night and can now only barely walk. Really hope it'll be all healed in time for Christmas holidays...

Drove 5 hours to go camping. Sprained my ankle. 5 hour drive back the next day. Stick shift. Absolutely worth it!

Flynn loves a good game of tug. When he first came to me, we had to find ways to interact positively & build a relationship, without physical affection - Flynn was too scared to accept any patting or cuddling - he would however play tug & it proved a great at getting him to engage with me. He plays very nicely - matching the strength/determination of his human opponent, letting go the moment he is asked & when he wins a game, he will immediately come back & offer the toy to you, asking for another go. Oh & if he's with more than one person, Flynn will try to take turns with each of them - even when one is better than the other at playing ;-)
Poor Flynnie, this shot was taken on Wed, on his last proper walk this week. He has been showing mild, intermittent signs of lameness for maybe a week or two. It's his left hind leg which is bothering him, not sure what he's done - hoping it's a pulled muscle or sprain & not damaged ligaments. Anyway, I'd been trying to rest him but hadn't done a terribly good job at enforcing it. Wed afternoon it became clear we needed to be stricter because he seemed quite sore & he's now on very short, lead walls only until next week... which nobody is enjoying at all but hopefully will give him chance to heal up!
The last day on the Daily Dose of Wally has finally arrived. Can’t believe we made it through. Thanks to my wife for the continued support. She also worked as my creative director. Haha. Thank you to everyone that has ever liked and/or commented on any given post. Although I'm excited that the project is over, it seems a bit bittersweet. Wally has been through a lot this whole year. He sprained a leg in May, but recovered rather quickly. He then suffered from a corneal ulcer in July and had to wear the cone of shame for 52 straight days. And just recently, he was hospitalized for eating more than half a pound of dark chocolate. Wally is a corgi with 9 lives! But on a positive note, Wally turned 5 years old in August. The Daily Dose of Wally was one of the 365 projects featured in a Tumblr blog in September. Wally ran his very first 5K9 in October and also got to visit Washington, D.C. that same month. Wally has helped donate $250 to CorgiPals for winning a photo contest through Pack. And he has donated even more ever since becoming a BarkBox “arf-filiate.” He has donated portions of his earnings to CorgiPals, American Red Cross as part of Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts and a few other corgi pem pals that needed help. One of Wally’s photos made it on a corgi calendar, which was pretty exciting. Wally met and got to play with Momo the border collie from the famous “Find Momo” series on Instagram by Andrew Knapp. Wally has also met so many corgi friends from around our area and it’s been great having corgi meet ups with the FrapPack. Yeah, that’s what they call themselves. LOL. Wally has also made a lot of friends virtually through his social media accounts. I’m sure he would love to meet them in person (or in dog) as well. Again, thank you for tuning in everyday. All your kind words made it possible for us to complete this project. The Daily Dose of Wally is officially complete. If you’d like to view and relive his 2013 journey, it’s always available on Flickr at www.bit.ly/wallymonster. And if you care to follow along, you can still get your daily dose on his Facebook (facebook.com/wallythewelshcorgi), Instagram (@wallythewelshcorgi), Vine and Twitter accounts (@wallywelshcorgi). Happy New Year to all!
Gonna leave you off with Wally’s New Year resolution list. instagram.com/p/imTWxzJYuL/
Forgot to include that Wally was on a Business Insider video recap of the AKC Meet The Breeds in September: www.businessinsider.com/corgi-video-2013-10
Poor Smurf slipped and fell on the ice last week when we had rain turning into snow. It left a layer of ice underneath the snow, which can be very dangerous. Smurf wasn’t very careful, and he slipped and fell. He sustained a hairline fracture in his wrist, and a bad ankle sprain. I’m not so sure it was a good idea for him to return to the ice for this picture, but he insisted. Male pride and all. :-) It is 36 degrees F this morning, and the ice is finally melting. I almost couldn’t find a spot left to pose him on. it will probably all be gone by this afternoon.

Being pinned down to the bed for days because of my sprained foot and having played glorious amounts of Zelda, i decided to dig up my tablet and start a digital painting from scratch. Thankfully i had patience this time and it didn't turn out shit like this one or this one. Here it is on Deviantart. I am quite proud of myself actually :3
I used my face as a reference.
Check out this awesome lips tutorial that helped me along!
Oh and here are the starting stages for laughs :D
!!!Should you like such a digital painting, feel free to contact me! But know i will charge 25 euros!!!
So, I fell Wednesday night, sprain my ankle
and twisted my knee and scared Buddy.
Right before one of the busiest days.
Can y'all relate?
I got to 5005 miles for the year, 250 miles ahead of last year's schedule, and despite the loss of 2 weeks of prime time riding in July when I sprained a calf (running, not cycling). 30 miles today at a blistering 13.5 mph! Today I was double teamed with an attack by clever (approaching from both sides) Australian Shepherds, and resorted to my rarely used Halt! pepper spray. Usually dogs will tone down their response on the next encounter after the spray is used. Fingers crossed.

"Jewelweed is best known for its skin healing properties. The leaves and the juice from the stem of Jewelweed are used by herbalists as a treatment for poison ivy, oak and other plant induced rashes, as well as many other types of dermatitis. Jewelweed works by counter-reacting with the chemicals in other plants that cause irritation. Poultices and salves from Jewelweed are a folk remedy for bruises, burns, cuts, eczema, insect bites, sores, sprains, warts, and ringworm. Read on to learn to make your own poison ivy treatment ice cubes with Jewelweed.
Jewelweed is a smooth annual; 3-5 ft. Leaves oval, round- toothed; lower ones opposite, upper ones alternate. A bit trumpet shaped, the flowers hang from the plant much as a jewel from a necklace, Pale Jewelweed has yellow flowers, Spotted Touch-Me-Nots have orange flowers with dark red dots. The seeds will 'pop' when touched , that is where the name Touch-Me-Nots came from. The Spotted Jewelweed variety is most commonly used for treating poison ivy rashes although the Pale Jewelweed may also have medicinal properties .
Jewelweed blooms May through October in the eastern part of North America from Southern Canada to the northern part of Florida. It is found most often in moist woods, usually near poison ivy or stinging nettle. It is commonly said that wherever you find poison ivy, you will find Jewelweed - however this is not true as Jewelweed will not grow in dry places for long, and does not thrive in direct sunlight. Poison Ivy will grow in sun or shade. "
...and yet so far!
We had beautiful spring weather this weekend. We went from 16 degrees C (61F) to 25 degrees (77F) in a day, with lots of sun. On Saturday I enjoyed a bit of gardening and had a nice walk with Skye. That is, I enjoyed the first halve of the walk. I wasn't fully paying attention and sprained my ankle in a hole in the ground. After some expletives that I won't repeat here I carried on and the pain seemed to fade away.
Until this morning, when I had to hop to the bathroom on one leg as I couldn't put any weight on the other. So much for the plans for Sunday!
I did enjoy the sun though, sitting in the backyard. Skye was happy to join me and we played a bit with an old tennis ball she found. Until the ball was obviously out of her reach, as you can see on this photo :-D
Spring will be short-lived however. The forecast for tomorrow is rain with an occasional thunderstorm. And on Tuesday the temperature drops to 12C/54F...
