Given to my wife by CTA upon her retirement from teaching high school (...God Bless her) over 40 years. I would have lasted maybe a week. Submittal for the Macro Monday's 3/29/21 theme of "Award"

Another work by Josef Rikus. Originally this reclinig sculpture from 1969 was called "Meditation in Stone". The public, however, preferred the name "The Sleeping Teacher" as it is placed at the entrance of a school. Incidentally, I went to this school three times: my first year in 1967, then again in 1971/72 and as a teacher in 2007/2008.

This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

This was the first assignment where I was both the story writer and photographer. The article I wrote is found below this photo's byline, seen here:

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

The weeks Video is based on the Topic of Urban Landscapes, I revisit the Old Teachers College to revisit old compositions and discover new, The subject in two images uploaded today has been here before! As a subject it has produced my most rewarding images by far. The only changes are better lighting, a slightly looser crop and some tricks in post! the link to the Video is below

Background: Built by me.
Nearly 70 years ago, I had several teachers who believed corporal punishment should not be limited to a student’s home. I discovered this, much to my chagrin, when I stepped over an invisible behavioral line they had drawn for budding criminals like myself.
One teacher was shorter than I already was in junior high, but unfortunately, he was built like a fireplug and had quick reflexes, so quick, in fact, that he might have set a state record closing the distance between his desk and mine after I might have caused a minor disruption.
He didn’t administer a long discipline session with his frantic efforts, but it was effective enough to open a two-inch cut above my eyebrow.
An uneasy silence engulfed our classroom when he clumsily handed me a paper towel to staunch the flow of blood and told me to go to the boy’s locker room. I was met there by the football coach. He took one look at me and said, “I don’t even have to ask who did that to you.” I have always wondered what he meant by that.
In retrospect, that incident could have been somewhat alleviated if I would have had a tongue like this Pileated Woodpecker.
The largest woodpecker in the US has a tongue that can extend up to 4 inches beyond the tip of its bill. When the woodpecker is pounding its head against a tree, the tongue retracts inwardly and wraps around the back of its skull to protect it from the concussions of the taps.
I wish my mom and dad had thought of that.

Ovenbirds are fairly easy to find - at least by sound. Actually seeing them can be harder, and getting pictures ... well, I haven't been that lucky in that.
So this morning, it was nice to get this one hopping around right in front of me. The lighting wasn't great but I still like that I was able to pull at least a decent shot out of it.
This cake was created for a couple of teachers who were celebrating their birthdays. It's an 8" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Decorations were done in fondant. The large apple is fondant covered styrofoam.
A friend's mum is retiring from being a school teacher and she asked me to make a cake to celebrate.
Accessories are made from modelling paste (apple & pencil) and gumpaste (ruler).
Three middle school teachers jump into ice cold water during the Penguin Plunge held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olmypics and is sponsered by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000!
I have downloaded a 30 days trial version of Photoshop Elements and this vault photo is definitely a test ... (and so was the visit to the skating rink)
