Think Positive
by: Unknown
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
Success begins with your own will...
It's all in your state of mind.
Life's battles are not always won
By those who are stronger or faster;
Sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks he or she can
How is everyone doing?? I’ve honestly missed you all. As you can see, it’s definitely been an age since I’ve last posted here; looks about a year. In fact, I also haven’t even been viewing anyone’s photos on any social media (I emphasize that last part because I really don’t want anyone to think I’m on the apps while just ignoring everyone).
Basically I’ve been in a photography blackout—aside from the occasional photos taken during family events the past 1.5 years. Furthermore, we haven’t even been going to Disney much which, obviously, has been my night photography zone. I’m just so incredibly jaded with their current direction since the pandemic, even before it. The crowds have been next level insanity and at entirely pre-pandemic levels; maybe even worse due to everyone now taking their previously postponed trips. Then there’s the overall current lack of features being offered while an ever increasing cost is enough to turn most people off. You pay all this money for an annual pass but you’re now not even guaranteed to be able to go?? I find that inexcusable and disingenuous; especially for one of the largest corporations on the planet. I’m convinced they’ll never eliminate this reservation system as it helps them with staffing levels and other analytics. Their 2pm park hopping policy is also complete BS. Also, this 50th anniversary is a massive dud. I think the 15th anniversary was the first I experienced and it was light years better than this current one. How is that even possible?? They painted the castle and added some tiny temporary golden statues. Way to go all out for such a milestone. The pandemic is not an excuse for the anemic showing, either.
I’ve been a local passholder since ‘95 along with having first visited the parks in ‘83. So I’ve definitely seen it all and there have been plenty of peaks and valleys over the years. IMO, they’re in a massive trough right now and I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. And to be fair, I’ve felt that they were on a downward trend a while before the pandemic. For instance, taking away our beloved MSEP!/Spectromagic! How is WDW seemingly the only resort in the parks umbrella that doesn’t have a night parade?? In any event, I realize individual experiences vary and many people are definitely enjoying themselves, so I’ll just end my rant. The bottom line for us is that it’s simply been feeling like it’s more of a task to drive over to the parks versus being a fun night out, as it should be.
As for the photo, this was Jan of last year. So you can notice the 50th decor hadn’t yet been added on the castle. There was a lot of blue I this light transition captured, a Disney favorite. I kept going back and forth with either keeping the strong blues, trying to remove them , etc. But my editing is so rusty, this is where I ended. Lastly, It “appears” empty but there were lots of people next to and behind me. It’s why I couldn’t get a more direct straight on shot—which irked my anal retentive self.
Thanks for bearing with me and hopefully I can get back to editing more shots I’ve had on file. Wishing everyone well; sincerely.

I think we all have at least two families - the one we were born to, and the one we chose or made for ourselves.
And it's kind of neat when the two come together.
Like now. My biological family is going through some difficulties. And my Flickr family is here for me. Not unlike Echo and Willow, the non-biological sisters who are closer to each other than to any of their littermates.
Anyway... thank you thank you thank you Flickr friends. Big hugs. Y'all are great.
I think the birds might sense the coming storm. We're supposed to get rain, but snow is in the forecast all around us.
I think Melbourne might be the only city in the world that has a public holiday for a horse race. Today is Melbourne Cup Day.
These three posters from My Head’s A Jungle that I photographed on Saturday pretty accurately sum up my feelings about horse racing.
Horses bred for racing have a specific purpose – to win and be profitable. This creates a conflicting interest with the horse’s welfare.
Some quick facts:
- On average, one horse is killed on Australian racetracks every 2.5 days from racing related injuries – and these are just the deaths we learn of. Plenty more happen in training and trials, or when injured horses are taken from the track to be later killed behind the scenes
- Over 10,000 horses vanish from the industry each year, most ending up in knackeries or slaughterhouses, known by the industry as ‘wastage’.
- Tongue ties, bits, spurs and whips are standard racing implements, causing horses to experience fear, pain and distress
- The majority of racehorses suffer bleeding in the lungs (EIPH), stomach ulcers and inflammatory airway disease
- Whilst in training, horses are kept confined to stalls for approximately 22 hours a day
In addition, I am sick and tired of the gambling advertisements that proliferate on the TV this time of year, gambling addictions ruin so many families, and I think gambling advertising should be banned completely.
Anyway, rant over.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

This is in a weird way a self portrait :)
Cause I often have the feeling I am different from the people around me.
Sometimes that can be a lonely feeling but other times it's a good feeling!
The good thing about it is that my brain walks no ordinary path and comes up with the craziest ideas (photo ideas mainly!).
And there popped another crazy idea in my mind this afternoon... I'm gonna buy me a new lens today :)
Enjoy this last day before the weekend begins!

We like to think that this boy Anna's Hummingbird is one of the chicks that fledged in our yard this year. You know, one of our grandchicks. It seems the gorget (the red bit covering the head) is still filling in and maturing. Our feeder is very busy with lots of fights and hummingbirds chasing each other off. Its kind of entertaining.

"The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin, sculpted 1880. This cast is circa 1904-1917.
Think this is one of the 1st images I took on the 6D, back in 2014 at Charmouth. Found it while looking for something else int he archive, it's nice to look back once in a while. Reminds me of the excitement of getting that 1st 'proper' camera
I think that this song is incredibly beautiful, but I have the hardest time listening to it. If only we could freeze time...
I think this must be just to the west of St.Jakob, crossing the first of the two road bridges to the west of town. Possibly this one crosses the river also?
The train is the "Transalpin" from Basel to Wien.
I'm wondering as well if the posts for the overhead power wires are orignal to the electrification here, answered below by Christoph Kainz.
I am doubt if the rest of the world also sees it this way…
Actually, I don't think I like this photo so much;
I am doubt if I would leave it here for long.
Sometimes, when I walk the lanes of the old city of Jerusalem,
and see the tourists that are taking selfies with the soldiers,
I wonder if the soldiers are sent to the lanes by the ministry of defense,
or by the ministry of tourism…
Glen Rock Park.......

Yesterday marked this season's first Dog Days in the Garden, when the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden allows you to bring your dog on Saturday mornings. Jasper had a great time, walking 2.5 miles (~4km) and remaining peppy the whole time. He met many other dogs and collected many complements from humans we encountered. This is an iPhone shot because I had my bird lens on. Jasper wouldn't look at me or my wife because he fancied one of the garden's docents standing nearby. He would not take his eyes off of her, especially after she came up and gave him a pet and paid him compliments. All I can think is that he was lovestruck.
- Juno: I think it's because my heart starts pounding when I see you.
- Bleeker: Mine, too.
- Juno: Basically, I'm completely smitten with you, and I don't care if I'm making an ass out of myself right now, because you've seen me make an ass out of myself a million times, and you still want to be my friend.
- Bleeker: Well, yeah. You're the best friend I've ever had, even when you're being kinda evil.
- Juno: That's all I need from you. That's more than I could ever ask for. You're just golden, dude.
