I've entered this for this weeks Digital Photography School Competition where the theme is "Happiness is..." - although it is may be a bit too random to be in with a chance! There is proper brain power behind it though :-)

I have just had my results from the Photographic Society of New Zealand National Exhibition and am thrilled to have 6 Acceptances from 10 submissions. This year it appears that between 20-25% was the overall acceptance rate. I have been suffering a knock in confidence these past few months so this was "make or break" time for me. So I am so pleased I have maintained my success rate from last year when I also included a medal in the haul - but a medal can be "a one shot wonder" whereas maintaining my level of acceptances (with less submissions from last year) regains my confidence in myself. I just need my gear returned from Canon (for the second time this year) so I can get on with it :-)

Acceptance letters for BYU dropped this weekend. Jackson applied for a number of schools and it was a very nervous time. It gets harder and harder to get into BYU in particular. Everyone in the family was very relieved when he got his "yes" letter.

I went for a long walk with a group of friends today and took so many photos with my iPhone. Here are two, showing the Toronto skyline and the rocky beach, part of the reclaimed land.
Thanks for your visits and enjoy your day:)
In a large park in the middle of the inner city there is (what I suspect) was a closed down power station, it was wonderful to shoot there as the only things that are left are lots of brick work and a few rusted settle bearings and ladders and such.
so I sort of came to an epiphany yesterday – I’m a BBW model, yet I’m paranoid of any sort of bludge or miss places arm, leg, stomach in my shots that doesn’t portray me as a stick figure, how does that work?! No idea, so I decided to upload a photo where you can actually see my figure X-P… I hope it doesn’t look too bad.
The last stage in a series I created last year called the '7 Stages of Grief: Lost Love'. After experiencing it myself for the first time a few years back, I wanted to try and understand what I was feeling. Learning about the stages of grief and creating concepts and shoots for them helped me to understand my own pain.
I hope you've enjoyed the series. I'll be doing some more modeling/photography over the next few months so please keep an eye out and let me know what you like and don't like - always interested in your opinions. Thanks everyone <3.

When permission was given to post this wonderful mom/daughter photo the mother wrote, "just write 'fat mamma with her daughter' on it." This is truly a mark of this mom's size acceptance to be humorous about this.
A brave man accepts his present life,
He dreams for his well-settled life,
He likes to satisfy with his present life,
As he has no option to change his life.
He has observed many miserable lives,
And compares his life with other lives,
He feels that his life is better than others,
It brings the readiness to accept the circumstances... read more

Model: Anton and Sandra.
Tallinn, July 2015
“Clearly recognizing what is happening inside us, and regarding what we see with an open, kind and loving heart, is what I call Radical Acceptance. If we are holding back from any part of our experience, if our heart shuts out any part of who we are and what we feel, we are fueling the fears and feelings of separation that sustain the trance of unworthiness. Radical Acceptance directly dismantles the very foundations of this trance.”

A is for Acceptance
Today I’m starting the ”Alphabet Challenge”, posting one photograph for each letter of the alphabet!
222/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Friend":
First let me say that I had other ideas today, but no possible way to execute them. Friends/family were not available and my day just got considerably more complicated. So...I needed to throw out a quick shot. I like this quote...so there you have it....friendship is about acceptance.
PS: I'm the cracked one! (and my artistic talents leave a LOT to be desired!)
Quote by Bernard Meltzer
Nikon D5000, 105mm
An acquaintance card evidently used for responding to other cards that asked the question, May I C U Home? (see below).
Answer to May I C U Home To-night
You ask to see me home to-night: what if I should refuse?
I hope you would not blame me, for doing as I choose,
I must look out for number one, and know you'll say, "That's right,"
And with thanks for your kind offer, you may C me home to-night.
for example, I am accepting the fact that I am nowhere near "young" any more, as being well into my 7th decade will attest
and I accept the undeniable fact that I can NEVER look as good as so many of the younger gals on Flickr
The ms Westerdam is escorted by a Mexican Navy boat during the exit from the port. Looked more like the boys were out enjoying themselves spinning around the bay in their speedy craft. The Westerdam in now on the way to Huatulco, Mexico..
BOAT INFO:
Thanks to Fredrik, here is some background on the boat courtesy of Wikipedia:
Stridsbåt 90 H(alv) (Strb 90 H, literally:
Combat Boat 90 Half; the 90 refers to the year of acceptance and Half refers to the fact that it can carry and deploy a half platoon of amphibious infantry (18 men) fully equipped) is a class of fast military assault craft originally developed for the Swedish Navy by Dockstavarvet. In addition to the many variants in service with the Swedish Navy under the "Stridsbåt 90H" designation, the CB 90 has been adopted by the navies of several countries, including Norway (as the S90N), Greece, Mexico (as the CB 90 HMN), and Malaysia. Also the German Navy plans to equip the Berlin-class replenishment ships with the CB90.
The CB90 is an exceptionally fast and agile boat that can execute extremely sharp turns at high speed, decelerate from top speed to a full stop in 2.5 boat lengths, and adjust both its pitch and roll angle while under way. Its light weight, shallow draught, and twin water jets allow it to operate at speeds of up to 40 knots (74 km/h) in shallow coastal waters. The water jets are partially ducted, which, along with underwater control surfaces similar to a submarine's diving planes gives the CB90 its manoeuvrability.
In 1988, Dockstavarvet won a competition to design and manufacture a replacement for the aging Tpbs 200 class. Two prototypes, with pennant number 801 and 802, were delivered in 1989. After completion of field trials, the Swedish Navy signed a purchase order for 120 boats in June 1990.
In 2002, the Swedish Navy ordered an additional 27 boats of a slightly different type, designated Stridsbåt 90 HS - where S refers to Skydd (protected) as the Strb 90 HS is armoured and features CBRN protection (the whole boat can be over-pressurized) - intended for use in international peace-keeping operations. Apart from the addition of armour, it sports air-condition for deployment in tropical conditions, fuel cooling system, 220V generator and more powerful engines. The manufacturer sometimes refers to the model as the CB 90 HI, where the I probably stands for International.
Several of the tasks carried out by the Strb 90 H-variants, were originally intended for the Strb 90 E, which is now almost completely phased out.
The Royal Norwegian Navy evaluated the Strb 90 H in early 1996, and subsequently purchased a total of 20 boats, designated 90 N (for Norsk utgave, literally Norwegian version).
The MEXICAN NAVY acquired 40 units (designated CB 90 HMN) between 1999 and 2001, and obtained a production license in 2002, allowing further units to be manufactured in Mexico. Since then eight additional units have been built.
The German Water Police rented a Combat Boat 90H from the manufacturer Dockstavarvet for the 33rd G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany. This boat was involved in a high speed chase with three Greenpeace RIBs which were trying to enter the restricted area near the hotel where the meeting was being held. A video clip of the incident was later widely spread around the internet.
In July 2007 The United States Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) specified the CB90 for testing as its Riverine Command Boat. Safeboat International of Port Orchard, Washington, was given a US$2.8 million contract to produce one prototype.
In June 2009 an unknown buyer from Abu Dhabi bought two civilian luxury versions.
In 2010, Dockstavarvet Shipyard modified two CB90's to be carried in the davits of Dutch and UK Navy Landing Platform Dock's. During these six months trials, the two boats and a full Swedish boat squadron will be embarked on a Royal Netherlands Navy LPD as a fully integrated element of the amphibious forces aboard and be deployed.
In Gothenburg, Sweden
In 2013 JSC Pella Shipyard near St Petersburg launched the first Russian built Project 03160 "Raptor", but while the ships are strikingly similar there is no indication Dockstavarvet has been involved or licensed the design to Pella.

Hi -
I am creating a printed laminated guide to merchant ships, called “ShipIndex.org Guide to Naval Ships”. I would like to consider using an image that I believe you created.
The image in question is of a Mexican Navy patrol boat, at www.flickr.com/photos/time-to-look/15006366661/. I want to show an example of a small patrol boat, and this great picture does it well. In addition, the fact that the boat is managed by the Mexican Navy, but built by the Swedes, and used in many other navies as well, is of particular interest to me.
If you will allow me to use the image, I will provide credit, in a manner that meets with your approval, adjacent to the image and on an associated web page that will have more information than can be included in the Guide itself.
If no cost is involved, I will gladly provide you with a complimentary copy of the Guide as soon as it is published. If you require payment for the use of the image, please let me know what that payment amount would be.
If you object to this, I would still greatly appreciate hearing from you, so that I can move on to find a different image for which I can acquire the right to reproduce, and I won’t bother you further to follow up on acquiring the right to the image in question.
Please note that layout of the Guide is continuing, and there is a small chance that even if you allow me to use the image, changes may cause me to decide not to do so. Either way, I will let you know.
Thanks for your consideration.

HFF! Taken on my walk yesterday through the Humber Bay Park, Toronto. It was a perfect day - blue skies and not too hot. Best seen large by clicking on the photo.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day!
The last kite...
Acceptance
I am the fourth and last
kite attempted
Within my folded arms
I gently protect the Earth
The only Home known to
Humanity
For I am Acceptance
When conflict rears its ugly
head
Humanity hopefully turns
to me
to restore harmony
in spirit of Truth and Freedom
=
Aceitação
Sou o quarto e último
papagaio engendrado
Como num abraço
protejo suavemente a Terra
O único Lar que a Humanidade
conhece
Pois sou a Aceitação
Quando o conflito cresce
desmesuradamente
A Humanidade olha-me
com esperança
E espera que eu restaure a harmonia
no espírito da Verdade e da Liberdade
