Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
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"
Sit back down..class isn’t over yet!
The bell doesn’t excuse you - I do!
No one is leaving this class until the person who wrote it owns up…
So C’mon, who did it….

It’s your own time you’re wasting, not mine….

Right…This is going on your permanent record!
Fuji X-E3, professional lighting. I have got more (and much better) images of her, a bit more "candid" too. However, just because I can does not mean that I do.
I always admire people who can just "do" street photography. They are up there, in my book, with those who seem to be able to waltz into a forest, snap a photo and walk away with an amazing shot. I like to dip my toes into both genres but am never really happy with the results. In fact I seem to recall making it a new year's promise a few years ago that I'd try more when it comes to both street and woodland photography.
With this in mind I headed down to Littlehampton beach front for a spot of street photography. Parked the rental car and tried to pay for my stay - 2 hours should be enough I thought - only for the pay machine to throw a fit and declare it's card reader non-operational. I fumbled in my wallet and frustratingly only had enough coppers and half pennies for one hour of parking. I'll make the most of it I thought and headed off to this location. After a few minutes of standing here, waiting and working on my composition a primary school class and teacher showed up. Not wanting to get into trouble, or get suspicious looks thrown my way I wandered 250 or so meters away to another shelter/bench like this. Set up again only for the same class to show up and sit there after a few more minutes. Frustrated I stomped back to the original location. Almost 20 minutes in and I hadn't really gotten anything. Lo and behold, a few minutes later the same class came back. The teacher grinned at me and I knew then she was doing it deliberately. So I stood my ground, pointed the camera in this direction and waited her out. She blinked first, sheepishly herding her class away to the right of this scene. Victory! But it cost me 25 minutes of my one hour of parking.
Came away with some shots that I'm really happy with though they feel a little same-y with the cool shapes that meander across the scene. I did try and get the odd cyclist but couldn't time it quite right with them being half hidden behind the structure. Guess I need to get out and practice street photography more then....

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.

Named for the oven-shaped nests that these handsome birds make on the ground, the Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) is an interesting character. Indeed, in the warbler world, it would likely be the life of any party. The other warblers would be asking it to show off that peculiar way it moves about...walking like a human instead of hopping like a bird. "You're so weird," they'd exclaim in their chirpish voices (but they'd be secretly delighted).
Why all the walking?--likely because they spend most of their time on the ground! Ovenbirds also have unmistakable calls. These are vocalizations that increase in intensity and have been written as "teacher-teacher-TEAcher-TEAcher-TEACHER!"

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.

If your teacher is drop dead gorgeous, is it a distraction or a source of inspiration?

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.

Pastel on newsprint
I made this shortly after I started doing art at age 56. There was no preconceived idea. I just picked up a piece of pastel and started moving my hand and arm on the paper. This is the image that resulted. When I showed it to the teacher of an art class I had just started, he said "What were you on when you did THAT?", lol! The answer: nothing. I was just following the impulses as they popped up within. I made this in the horizontal orientation. It was only after it was done and I turned it to this vertical orientation that I saw that it resembled a serpent.
At the time, and for years prior, I spent many hours each day in mantra meditation, pranayama breathing, and yoga asanas, and had experienced many moments of expanded awareness and bliss. But I knew almost nothing about kundalini or its awakening.
I now know that the Sanskrit word "kundalini" means "coiled one". In the Dharma religions, it is a primal energy, or shakti, located at the base of the spine. Different spiritual traditions teach methods of "awakening" kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment. Kundalini is described as lying "coiled" at the base of the spine, represented as either a goddess or sleeping serpent waiting to be awakened. ... To me, this image reflects the creative phase of the creation/maintenance/destruction cycle.
Kundalini awakening is said to result in deep meditation, enlightenment and bliss. This awakening involves the Kundalini physically moving up the central channel to reach within the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of the head. Many systems of yoga focus on the awakening of Kundalini through meditation, pranayama breathing, the practice of asana and chanting of mantras. In physical terms, many report the Kundalini experience to be a feeling of electric current running along the spine.
—Adapted from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini
Also, " ... The Supreme Brahman is described as the swallower, devourer (attā = soul) of the universe; for just as he creates and maintains it, he destroys it also. But where does it go when it is destroyed? One answer may be that it simply vanishes. But the Upanishads are opposed to such an idea of destruction. Only the forms and shapes of the world are gone, but not the being of the world, which is the Being of the Brahman. Then what happens to the world? It is absorbed, assimilated to the Brahman. The Brahman swallows, absorbs, assimilates the world to itself."

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!
One more of these. 9pm haven’t even had dinner yet. Still sick and pissed off about it. Where was I…right, I’m going to dump my last cosplay shots tomorrow. Probably. Clearing them out and though I have fun with it I’m definitely heading in the real direction. Which is what this is. Can’t get much more real than this for me. At least right now. Yeah could have gone low key on the chest but whatever. Squatting because the neighbor always seems to be looking over. If it looks like I’m freezing it’s cause I am. Maybe this is why I got sick….and no I’m not really a teacher though I have a doctorate like that woman who is running the country.
"It’s time to identify the individual who labeled us — the person we allowed to label us. The parent, the teacher, the friend, the pastor, the spouse, the relative, the kid in the school yard … who cut into us a life-long label."
You may have remembered my portrait series for the Label Lies campaign earlier this year. This second series to the campaign has launched over at People of the Second Chance. This was just one of several that will be released in the next several weeks. Head over POTSC to see the others. I will also be posting a blog post in the next few weeks that will display all the images to this series.

I am actually half way trough a turn in this photo even if I do look a little static.
Its been a good week for my ego boosting and it all seems to stem from last Sunday at dance class. The normal format is we do an hour long basic lesson to teach the new started the basics, we partner up and ten the ladies rotate around so as they can damce with a different leader. I happened to have one new starter end up with me so i did what i normally do and took it slow, she then moved on to the next partner along. we then have a break this is when we can dance with our own partners or whoever we fancy dragging ontot the dancefloor. well i had a couple dances with jamie then had a rest. it was then that the new lady came over to me and said i was the best leader to dance with. well that made me smile, the next part of the lesson is more for those who know what we are doing but the two new girls stayed. seeing that they had no chance i took them to one side and gave them a one to one lesson.well the evening finished with me having a few spins on the dance floor and we all went home.
during wednesdays lessen sharon the teacher said how much the two ladies enjoyed my lesson :-) then shortly after another woman who is a friend of the two girls came over to say that they keep raving on about how much they enjoyed my lesson and loved me to bits.
OK i know this all sound a bit "Look how wonderful i am" but in all truth its rather weired because i never set out for this to turnout this way and to become so accepted by almost everyone i meet . So yep i am walking around with the biggest head ever at the moment and i am so proud of the people around me who accept our kind and the people within our community who have supported, encouraged and inspired me over the years to becomem who i am
More good follows shortly
