I'm assuming that this huge horse is a clydesdale, right where it should be about 100m from the river clyde, it was taller than me anyway, and I'm 6"3. We agreed on exchanging a photo for a peppermint and everyone was happy.

I had just gotten my first high quality lens, and had to try it out. Did not want to disrupt the meeting by using a flash. The room was illuminated by sunlight. Hand held, no IS (image stabilization).
Hank is one of the nicest and hard-working people you'll ever meet. He's very active in ASCIi, as well as the Phoenix PC Users Group, ready to take on whatever needs to be done. Hank is the ASCIi Treasurer, Webmaster and Newsletter Distributor.
Nice shirt!
I think there are only another couple of photos after this that I really want to post so that I can add them to my Northern Pygmy-owl Set. S/he's such a special, tiny owl that I don't want any of my photos of him/her to get completely lost in my endless hard drive archives. Thank goodness for Flickr Sets : )
I am practically asleep on my feet today, but finally all my commitments to the Annual Christmas and New Year Bird Counts have been fulfilled and I must turn my time and efforts towards other, far more urgent things. I needed the break today, going on an almost 15-hour Bird Count for Nanton, south of Calgary. My alarm clocks blared at 4:30 a.m. and I was picked up at 6:30 a.m. this morning and I got home around 8:45 p.m. this evening, so am posting very late. A very successful day, including seeing 5 Golden Eagles (!), 3 Northern Shrikes (!), 70 Sharp-tailed Grouse (!), 2 Great Horned Owls, etc., etc. My little group of four found 15 species, but many of them were very nice species to find, especially in such great numbers. After the Count, while numbers were being tallied, we were all treated to a lovely supper. Thanks to the organizers of this event - so much work involved (including the supper, of course!). Many thanks to the Truch family for their delightful hospitality - so much appreciated by us all!
Now, though, I have to return to far more serious, difficult things to deal with. I was up till around 2:30 this morning seeing to more e-mails, etc., and felt rather overwhelmed. So, some sunshine and being in the company of good friends was much needed before I continue with getting things sorted out in connection to my brother's death..
Hehe, this made me think of that song they played in that movie "Say Anything" with the dude holding the boombox over his head to serenade his girlfriend... Ugh, I'm showing my age again, aren't I?
Ya boy's just a hopeless romantic. Deal with it. I grew up in the 90s. It was just what we did lol We had Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, Savage Garden, All-4-One indoctrinating young men to love their women right. Shame on my generation. Just...shaaaame!
Anyway, here's a snippet of the lyrics from the song lol Enjoy a little old-school love song:
==
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
Free texture. Credit and a link is appreciated.
I'd love to see what you make with this, so please leave a sample of your work (small size) if you use my texture. Thanks.
Enjoy!
THINK TANK UMBRIA 2010
Todi
Palazzo del Vignola
25 - 26 Novembre 2K10
Think Tanks (o serbatoi di pensiero) sono dei seminari interattivi che hanno l’obiettivo di individuare eventi non ancora venuti in essere e definire scenari futuri.
La premessa di base di una Think Tank e’ quella di individuare gli eventi (o forze) futuri che avranno un impatto profondo su destinazioni turistiche ed organizzazioni che offrono servizi ai turisti.
Nel Think Tank Umbria 2010, gli obiettivi da raggiungere sono quattro:
a.Identificazione delle forze che influenzeranno il settore turismo
b.Stimare l’impatto ed il timing delle forze al punto a.
c.Creare metodi competitivi che si basino esclusivamente sull’analisi dei punti a. e b.
d.Individuare le nuove competenze di base che saranno necessarie per sviluppare i metodi competitivi di cui al punto c.
Al fine di raggiungere gli obiettivi di cui sopra, i partecipanti sono stati selezionati non solamente in qualita’ di rappresentanti del settore ma anche e soprattutto di altri settori ed organizzazioni che influenzano l’esperienza del viaggiatore e di coloro che provvedono a fornire i servizi al viaggiatore.
Ad esempio, esperti in tecnologia, sicurezza, trasporti, protezione ambientale, giornalisti ed altri.
I partecipanti sono stati selezionati in quanto protagonisti nel loro settore di competenza e riconosciuti come tali da colleghi e/o dai media.
L’analisi riguarda l’individuazione delle forze piu’ impattanti provenienti dai seguenti settori di riferimento:
ecologico
economico-politico
socio-culturale
tecnologico
I partecipanti alla sessione plenaria sono stati distribuiti ai vari tavoli per lavorare nella sessione di gruppo sul primo settore di riferimento, quello ecologico.
Al termine del tempo allocato per i lavori di gruppo, si è tornati in sessione plenaria per ascoltare le brevi presentazioni dei risultati ottenuti dai rappresentanti di gruppo.
Al termine dell’ultima presentazione si è proceduto al voto dei risultati.
Alla ripresa dei lavori dopo il break, il Prof. Sandro Formica ha presentato i risultati delle ultime votazioni ed ha invitato i partecipanti a lavorare di nuovo nella sessione di gruppo per discutere gli altri settori di riferimento, seguendo la medesima procedura di cui sopra.
Ogni qualvolta i partecipanti si sono riuniti per iniziare il lavoro di gruppo, hanno cambiato tavolo, interagendo con partecipanti nuovi.
Inoltre, partecipanti rappresentanti uno o due settori o competenze non sono stati posizionati nello stesso tavolo.
Quest’aspetto specifico della metodologia e’ particolarmente importante per stimolare le idee, la creativita’ e l’interattivita’ tra i partecipanti.
Gli obiettivi della seconda giornata sono quelli riportati ai punti c. e d. (vedi sopra).
A parte qualche dettaglio, il format della seconda giornata e’ identico a quello del giorno precedente.
Al termine dell’evento c'è stata una sessione conclusiva durante la quale i partecipanti sono stati in grado di verificare l’allineamento tra:
(a) le forze future che guideranno il cambiamento
(b) i metodi competitivi sviluppati
(c) le nuove competenze di base.
I think these are the most typical Italian streets not wider than a normal car. Rome's a really amazing city.
It's a little difficult for me to think Spring when the weather is gloomy, traces of snow still on the ground and a chance of flurries today. Bella doesn't seem to mind at all. She's warm and cozy and anticipating a nibble of this poor little bunny.
At Willow Grove Day Camp in Willow Grove PA we think it is important to allow children to express themselves in every way possible. By interacting with each other the children strengthen relationships and build self-confidence. Through out the summer our campers host several Theater shows. The children put on plays and talent shows that include singing, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. Our campers have the opportunity to dress up in costumes and show off their talents. Our most popular show of the summer is "So you think you can dance"
Willow Grove Day Camp is located at 3400 Davisville Road in Willow Grove, PA. Our camp has been serving the Willow Grove, Lower Bucks County, and Philadelphia areas for over 50 years. Our long standing relationship with the community and our reputation speaks for itself!

A Rodin in front of the Cleveland Museum of art. There were only five enlarged versions of this sculpture made under the supervision of Rodin. This one was badly damaged by a bomb in 1970.
After a few days together in casual dress mode, my granddaughter saw me ready for church and said "Grammy, you look AWESOME!!!... with your hair all sticking out like that!" Thanks.. I think?

I'm not sure I got the name of the artist right. When I asked the owner about names of the artists and I proceeded to writing them down, he suspected me of being an arts dealer, and I didn't feel welcome any more, so I left before he told me in so many words...
or a starling....

And here's the fourth New York-photo for today. Glad to have those out of the system. I do think though, that my New York-photos are one, most of them do not look that much standing alone, but I like the bunch of them together. They're like pieces of a puzzle, becoming MY New York.
This birdy lives in Red Hook. There he sat, happily singing in the sunshine. A starling, free as a bird.
Hah, that was lame. Sorry.
Anyway, as I said in the first picture, will start my be-goning tomorrow at 7pm, after a day at work. I'll have time to visit your streams before that, yey! But people, could we please agree on not uploading anything before next Wednesday? Otherwise I have quite a task once I return. Pretty please....

Okay. Fine. Be that way then. Like I care.

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.
