OK, I think this is finally my last weekend of catching up with Christmas diorama shooting so I can put it all away until next December! Mandatory Credit: Photo by Michael Williams MyLifeInPlastic.com
Just when I think I have found the smallest foal ever, I bump into an even smaller one.
Went back over to Cadman's Pool this morning as I had found some new ducklings there yesterday as I cut across the Forest on the way home from visiting my mother. Didn't want to spend long out there (it is so hot here at the moment) just a quick few duckling shots and then off for a swim (no, to the pool silly - not in the pond - duh!). There is a small green tucked away near Bramshaw with a couple of houses and right there was this mother and foal. You can see how tiny he is in comparison to this car. Small of back is the same size as a small car tyre. His mother was very protective so I had to keep my distance. A lady came out of one of the houses and told me it was 5 days old. I really have not seen one as small as this before. Well that is until the next time:-)
I think this place was converted to a climbing activity center.

Few would argue there is too much contemplation occurring today. Do we even know how to think? We seem stuck in a cycle of reactionism and radicalism devoid of any kind of serious reflection. Enter Rodin and “The Thinker”, displayed here at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo. Rodin described his work this way:
“What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow … but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes.”

I know the title won't win any prizes for originality, but I just can't think of anything else. Neither Cassie, our dog, or I have had much energy for walks recently and so we have been mooching around a wildflower meadow in a local Woodland Trust area. I've only had my macro lens with me as I didn't want to carry any other heavy lenses around and so I have been looking for butterflies, moths, bugs and wildflowers. It's been very interesting to watch what is happening in this tiny world week by week.
After almost catching up with my contacts at the weekend, I've been unable to see most of the images on Flickr on my computer for some reason. It's improved a little now and so I'll hopefully be visiting everyone again over the next few days.
...just think! would ya?
I've been seeing this particular piece of graffiti around a lot. The first time I saw it was on the trail to the top of Koko Crater and then again etched onto the railway ties while going up. Later I would see it on street signs, buildings, etc., around the Hawaii Kai area (where I live). I wondered what it meant, other than the literal meaning of the word "think!" It was written the same way in this script wherever I saw it tagged. Someone had definitely thought out its design and has some purpose for scrawling it...
While parking at Costco the other day, I saw it written on the concrete base of the light post in front of my vehicle, so I snapped it with my iPhone.
Anyway, I guess we all could pause to "think!" once in a while, eh?
So, think!
Oh, and...

Just think of it as a dream
A short but plesant dream .

Wrong Soul
-------------------------------
2 tiếng vượt đèo với cái nắng cháy da cháy thịt.
Ngồi trên xe máy, mà cơn buồn ngủ díp mắt ko cưỡng lại được.
Đành phải ngủ trên lưng anh 2.
" Tới đà lạt rồi kìa "
Mở mắt, chớp chớp vài cái.
Không tin được, 1 vườn hoa chạy dài 2 bên đường.
Thích thật.
Đi thêm 1 khoảng.
"Tuyết kìa"
Ồ mình đùa đấy, thật ra là cát trắng mà người ta phơi bên đường, dày và trắng xóa, phủ khắp 1 con đường đèo.
Cứ như đang vào thành phố tuyết.
"Dòng sông băng kìa "
Giữa con đường tuyết lâu lâu xuất hiện vài cái hồ nhỏ, nước xanh trong veo, lênh đênh khóm sen lạc dòng.
Mình muốn dừng lại.
Ngắm cảnh.
Chụp ảnh.
Nhưng giữa cái nắng gay gắt nếu ngoại trừ nó là nguồn sáng tuyệt vời cho những bức ảnh, thì nó thật sự là khủng khiếp.
Mọi người phải tiếp tục chạy trước sự tiếc nuối của 2 đứa trong đoàn là mình và Bff
-------------------------
Ảnh chụp ở 1 nơi rất xa và sặc mùi thôn quê.
Còn 1 số ảnh Soul thôn nữ nhưng mà ko post được :")
Thích tấm này vì nó cảm giác rất thoải mái :x
Soul thích bay nhảy giữa trời thế này :">
My great friend and fellow photographer having a little fun setting up and testing lighting setups for an upcoming shoot.
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek has two copies of The Thinker, 1880, by Rodin. The Thinker was originally destined for the Gates of Hell monumental door that was never built but Rodin repurposed the work and reworked it in various sizes.
In this photo: The monumental, 181-cm bronze The Thinker is usually on display outside in the small garden (free access) behind the museum. It was ordered by Carl Jacobsen from Rodin in 1905.
The smaller statuette, 73.3 cm The Thinker was ordered by Carl Jacobsen from Rodin in 1900.
The two were displayed together in a special Rodin exhibition in 2021.
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen was founded by the owner of the Carlsberg Breweries, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914) one of the 19th century’s great industrial magnates and patrons of the arts. Many of the museum’s sculptures and paintings were bought by Carl Jacobsen directly from the artists and were, of course, contemporary art at the time.
On display in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“The thinker makes a great mistake when he asks after cause and effect. They both together make up the indivisible phenomenon.”

I think this plant which I saw in the Metropolitan Government of Shinjuku probably to be kind of the lotus. I think that I want to oblige a plant of Tokyo to attach a name card.
On July 7, 2012 in Nishishinjuku.

I think this is the new Bow Wow Trad but these are not her stock clothes. They are a part of the set Fall Whisper.

I think they just wanted that bed, but not at the same time. If you go to a hunt kennel, the hounds always pile on top of each other 2,3,4, more...
that just because Christmas Day has past that you aren't going to get any more of my Christmas Decorations!!!
Spot the photographer!!!
Hope everyone survived Christmas, I did!!!

I think that I have some kind of ill-fated relationship with Aliso beach.
First time I visited here, I totally got soaked.
This time, I lost my contact lens when I started to take photos.
I lost my opportunity to catch Sunburst on the horizon as well as $$$.
What do you think?

Le Penseur (The Thinker) (Il Pensoroso) by Auguste Rodin
on exhibition at the Tate Modern, London, England in 2021.
Rodin made a small plaster version around 1881, followed by this full-scale version which was presented at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1904.
A public subscription financed a first bronze casting which became the property of the City of Paris and was placed in front of the Panthéon until 1922, when it was moved to the Rodin Museum.
