Once a squirrel locates something to eat, it really shows commitment to get it. This is Hazel doing some stretching :) I squeezed a walnut in this crotch. Not very hard - she was able to get it within seconds (Squirrels-2019-6391.jpg)
Mt Somers vs Methven Senior B Rugby.
Methven won 27-7?
My daughter Sara and friend Justine took the photos using my camera as I don't like the cold
Before anything can get done in regards to this camera, I first need to get things out of the way, the big one being grad school apps.
That's UP's scanning electron microscope, for failure analysis and metalography research. It also has a Polaroid 545 attachment, which makes it super cool.

Sorry work commitments are dominating at present...back soon!!
There's a comforting thought at the close of the day,
When I'm weary and lonely and sad,
That sort of grips hold of my crusty old heart,
And bids it be merry and glad.
It gets in my soul and it drives out the blues,
And finally thrills through and through.
It is just a sweet memory that chants refrain;
I'm glad I touched shoulders with you.
I am glad that I live, that I battle and strive,
For a place that I know I must fill.
I am thankful for sorrows. I'll meet with a grin,
What fortune may send good or ill.
I may not have wealth. I may not be great,
But you know I shall always be true.
For I have in my life that courage you gave,
When I once rubbed shoulders with you.

The Bronze is of Alan Turing:
The Alan Turing Memorial, situated in the Sackville Park in Manchester, England, is in memory of Alan Turing, a father of modern computing. Turing committed suicide in 1954 after being prosecuted by the police because of his (then illegal) homosexuality. As such he is as much a gay icon as an icon of computing, and it is no coincidence that this memorial is situated near Canal Street, Manchester's gay village.
He is sitting on a bench situated in a central position in the park. On Turing's left is the University of Manchester and on his right is Manchester's gay village.

Sooner or later time comes when we all must become responsible adults and learn to give up what we want. So that we can choose what is right. Off course a life time of responsibility isn't easy. And as the years goes on its the burden that can become too heavy for some to bear. But still we try to do what is the best. What is good not only for ourselves but for those we love.
Yes, sooner or later, we must all become responsible adults. No one knows this better than the young.

These are my summer commitments. 9 Sketchbooks to fill end to end.
The top four moleskines are already started and just need finishing.
The botttom five, thinner Moleskines on the left and Japanese accordions to the right are still blank.
Artemis I will be the first integrated flight test of NASA’s deep space exploration system: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration, and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond. During this flight, the uncrewed Orion spacecraft will launch on the most powerful rocket in the world and travel thousands of miles beyond the Moon, farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown, over the course of about a three-week mission.

We have a small suburban back yard, but it still takes somewhat of a commitment to maintain it as a pleasant place to spend time. I have 8 rose bushes, a small lemon tree, vines, succulents, azaleas, camellias, lavender, lilies, hanging flower bowls, asparagus ferns, bower vines, star jasmine, 3 planter boxes with vegetables and herbs, one very tall pittosporum tree, one bird feeder and 2 hummingbird feeders. And thank goodness no lawn !
This is Vegas, and we’re obviously about that EDM life. But instead of tattooing it on our tightly sculpted derrières, we’re commemorating our undying commitment with a 40-foot tribute to the way it makes us feel. Ladies and gentlemen, meet 7,500 pounds of stainless steel, swaying to the beat, Bliss Dance.
Created by artist Marco Cochrane over the course of a year and a half (we can’t even commit to going to the gym for that long), she represented the feminine energy he experienced at the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert. A little place we like to call “the middle of effing nowhere.”
Cochrane’s team of rock star welders worked with hand-cut steel rod before 3,000 LED lights – you read that correctly – 3,000 LED lights were installed to illuminate the statue from the inside. Hopefully, the symbolization of a woman glowing from within didn’t just go over your head.
In a collaborative approach to creativity, Cochrane allowed his female model to choose the pose she liked best and created the mold from it. The result is a statue frozen in an ultra transcendent pose, clearly experiencing that moment when the beat drops and takes you out of your body, making it impossible to think. So you just feel.
The artist, and women’s advocate, wanted to celebrate the appreciation and respect he has for females sans sexual objectification. In a town where scantily clad ladies are plastered on the sides of taxi cabs and party buses, this is saying something. Cochrane created Bliss Dance to be a symbol of women who are completely free from harm, a moment in time when their energy, happiness and power are elevated beyond the physical. Yeah, that’s deep.
Bliss Dance is the centerpiece of The Park between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo. This six-acre outdoor promenade features the T-Mobile Arena, several dining and bar options, outdoor seating and architectural features like water walls and shade structures that were made in the Netherlands.
While moving from Chicago to Jacksonville, I spared some time for a “Traincation” out west with some must-have shots in mind. Watching Amtrak’s southbound Coast Starlight surf the Pacific from Jalama Beach could not have been left out. Even devoting nearly a full day of precious vacation time for the shot was well worth it.

***********************
Ciudad Rodrigo, Easter 2011. Please, press [L].
I've always wanted to participate in SHIPtember, but due to other commitments or just plain "creative intimidation" I haven't.
Up until now that is.
There's no point wondering if your ship is any good or worrying about creative block if you give yourself the following constraints:
1) 24 hours start to finish, no breaks
2) use only the parts & electronics on hand, i.e. no last minute purchases on bricklink
3) work with other builders and make it twice as big! 200 studs baby!
Not only will we build twice a SHIP, but we've got some electronic and mechanical tricks up our sleeves to add a new "spin" to SHIP building!

For those that know my artworks well and my style, you would know my emotional works tend to be internally focused. The emotion I often try to capture is that of the emotions one faces him/her self. What he/she is dealing with in his/her own mind.
Being that, for me this artwork actually captures what I often feel like as I go through most days as a result of my own personal dealings with what I believe to be ADD.
I am an energizer bunny on 5 cans of red bull. My mind never shuts up and is always coming up with ideas in countless directions. The problem is I also often never say NO to running with these ideas - I simply take on another challenge and another opportunity and another business and another creative learning experiment. Many of them lead to commitments and deadlines that others expect of me when I took it on.
Its like a Juggler that has 10 balls in the air and agrees to add another. As long as they all come down at different times, I am OK. But often many come at the same time. Also, even when they come down at a good pace, they never stop coming so I struggle to just for my mind to rest.
So this artwork shows a person like me that struggles to keep his commitments from crushing him. The clouds are the opportunities that have also become commitments and stresses and obligations. I constantly need the incredible strength to keep them from falling to the ground - which to me is a failure.
HE holds up his growing burden of commitments - using all his strength to ensure then don't fall and crush him in the process.

To me its all about compromise, Commitment binds a marriage,But really its compromise that makes it work.
Worked on a few ideas iv'e had bouncing around in my head for a while yesterday, funnily enough this wasn't one of them. It is however a template for a future shoot.
Yolanda, I love you.
I was really excited when I saw the short review of this in the camera. The continuous af was being a little skeptical so I decided to try to get the shot with manual focus. I'm not sure if I'd call it luck or skill. Maybe a little bit of both, because man was he flying! Either way I was ecstatic to see the focus was where I wanted it. My hat also goes off to Dane for clearing that monster of a gap. Obviously you can't see the gap because it was behind where I was standing but trust me when I say it was big.
