A evening at the "piazza" near the sea, people strolling around, food trucks, some music, vine and joy: That's what Italy stands for in my life. I love to be there where life is so jaunty. Scene from Porto Santo Stefano.

Alles, was sich manifestiert, singt nur ein einziges Lied – das der Leere und der Fülle. Wir nehmen die Welt der Erscheinungen und des Bewusstseins wahr, die Welt des Lichts und der Finsternis, die sich in einem Tanz offenbaren, in dem es keine Trennung gibt.

....... she was quite intrigued by our big tabby cat , who was busy keeping an irate pine squirrel cornered up a walnut tree.
The white rhinoceros, white rhino or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 19,682–21,077 wild-living animals in the year 2015, and the much rarer northern white rhinoceros. The northern subspecies has very few remaining individuals, with only two confirmed left in 2018 (two females: Fatu, 18 and Najin, 29), both in captivity. Sudan, the world's last known male Northern white rhinoceros, died in Kenya on 19 March 2018 at age 45.
It is bitterly cold outside, and I took few photos inside. Now I used Topcor UV 50/2 for few days and
my impression about this lens changed a bit. If lighting is good, ISO low and I do not focus on things that are closer to the edge than the centre of the image, it is sharp even wide open. At least sharp enough for bokeh or portrait photography.
I was scouting out some vantage points at Ocean beach today when I saw someone sitting very very still for long periods of time out by the water. The marine layer was kind of blah today, but the sound of the surf and the sight of the huge rocks in the distance made for a very entrancing scene, so I can understand why someone would choose to meditate in this setting.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
Where there is awareness there is hope .
When I was 17 years old my whole world was shattered because my
dear Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Doctor told her
she had come just in time and that if she had waited just 6 more months
it could have been too late to help her. My Mother endured chemotherapy,
and radiotherapy. She lost her hair, self-confidence and her left breast.
It is because of this very traumatic chapter in my life that I am today a nurse
at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway.
Cancer is a heavy and huge diagnosis for a patient and their family to accept.
There are a couple of big problems, in my opinion, that largely affect many people adversely. The first, as I see it, is the small number of Prevention Campaigns there are. More of these campaigns could educate and push people to use the methods and take the time to self-check themselves routinely. In many cases patients with various types of cancer the time and experience of the treatments can be fairly easy and effective if they are diagnosed in time. Another problem area I see is that
people wait too long to seek medical attention and then they must face the trauma when it's too late. I would also like to point out that it is a misconception that men do not develop breast cancer when in fact, men are equally confronted with it. It is unclear why this subject remains somewhat "taboo" still to today.
I am representing 2 organizations with this challenge. They are Breast Cancer Prevention (www.cancer.org) and Cherries On Top (shop.cherriesontop.org/). Cherries On Top is a globally targeted fund raising organization for research support and information campaigns in all types of cancer that affects Kids, Men and Women. I would like to plan an event to benefit both of these great causes. My plan on how to make this happen would involve friends of mine that are Second Life Voice Entertainers,
DJs, Designers, Agency Owners, Bloggers, and Models. Anyone and everyone I can ask to help I would try to secure for to make charity concerts, shows and other ideas that may come to mind. If these things can save someone's life it's worth whatever it takes to make it happen.
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me

It turned out to be a beautiful day so drove out to the Merced NWR...this Great Egret was strolling around looking for a mate and seemed not to mind me, my car, or the sound of the engine.

Thieves know to beware of other thieves. "Thieves" and "gulls" are words which might as well be used interchangeably. Swallow your prize quickly or it'll get swiped. The gull frantically swallowing the fish mid-flight knows it'd be chasing the other gull if roles were reversed.
"Ask yourself, "Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?"
Remember: every coincidence is potentially meaningful.
How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world.
Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level."

Night falls on an enormous abandoned mining operation overlooking the Mojave Desert. After two long years, my night photography friends and I got together for an eight-night trip to Nevada and California. This was a 1856-mile night photography safari with Tim Little, Mike Cooper, and George Loo, and George the monkey. Illuminated during the exposure from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device and a nearly full moon. This photo will most likely appear in my fourth or fifth history/night photography book I'm working on now. Thank you.
