Esta pequeña araña cangrejo parece estar enterada de mis dos dolorosas sesiones diarias de ejercicios de recuperación de mi hombro, realizando con soltura y sin aparente esfuerzo movimientos que yo hago aun de forma torpe.
En fin, lo veré como una motivación ;))
This little crab spider seems to be aware of my two painful daily sessions of recovery exercises for my shoulder, performing with ease and without apparent effort movements that I still do awkwardly.
Anyway, I'll see it as a motivation ;))
Two of the Lighthorsemen demonstrate how they trained for cavalry sabre charges. The Australian Lighthorse Regiments that fought in Palestine, the Sinai Peninsula, Beersheba and Damascus during World War I were all volunteers.
I'm warming up, stretching my legs a bit and flexing my muscles before going outside for jogging. I have been jogging for almost 2 years now and I really like it. I started with short distances and nowadays I run about 5 miles. It's so easy because you can simply start from home and do it whenever you have time. It keeps me fit and clears my mind, and an extra benefit is that I can wear the shiny satin shorts that I love so much.

museumPASSmusees 2023 - Mima - Local Heroes
Local Heroes combines, in the manner of the ancient Greek gymnasium, exercises of the body and the mind. For 4 months, MIMA is a temple of boxing and arts interacting with the visitor.
Local Heroes is a reinterpretation of the ancient Greek gymnasium: a place dedicated to the education of youth in the values of the city through sport and the arts. In this logic, the spaces in the exhibition are reserved either for the practice of boxing or for the celebration of local athletes. The whole is enhanced by artistic interventions born from the meeting between creators and boxers. Posters, photographs, videos and wall paintings are the favourite mediums in the aesthetics of boxing.
The choice of boxing is based on a historical, social and cultural reason. Firstly, the ancestor of boxing, pugilism, was widely practiced in gymnasiums throughout antiquity. Secondly, the boxing community sociologically reflects the youth of the Brussels city centre. Finally, compared to other sports, it is a major source of inspiration for the arts.
Check the daily sports program at the museum throughout the exhibition.
And exceptional events and nocturnes.

As the third in the green stream series, I saw this small section of Rock Creek and decided that I needed to get in tight to catch this shot. Needless to say, I got wet for this shot but then if it's a mountain stream, I am usually in it. I HAD to maneuver to the right spot in order to compose this shot. I'll be the one with the wet jeans. I will say that my longer zoom was handy in this particular spot.
eDDie got a wild hare (Loveland tularemia, probably) to go specifically to Rock Creek above Allenspark to hunt wildflowers and he called me up. I have been up there several times and knew the area and the route. I am sure that he was not ready for the experience. He was astounded by the number of campers that could pack into this narrow gully by the nasty road/trail. I have not been up here since the flood but it looks like it got badly hit. The Forest Service kindly marked our parking space with a "closed for revegetation" sign. Handy! I bailed his Blazer like a flash, well at my flash speed. I was ready to shoot with my long lens. The normal zoom would have been a lot better plan. I was already busy shooting when eDDie came by on his way after wildflowers, great stuck with my stream shots and ended up with enough for a series.
Actually, Rock Creek flows more quickly down and through Ferncliff instead of toward Allenspark. There are a large number of possibilities up this creek (pronounced crick in the Rockies) and for me, it lead to the one-legged man in the trouser factory syndrome but this was easier to keep the campers from the frame. I decided, without input, to start a green stream series from the lot that I snapped. As I opened the captures, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
After I started editing my original shots of Rock Creek, I thought of the bounty of camper cars parked up the trickle. I decided I might return with my normal zoom during the week for a massive plunder of captures.
I have been too busy to do much stitching lately so I'm getting back into the swing of things by batch making cards using machine embroidery.
These are the results
My third attempt at sketching a pile of books to learn how to construct volumes. Proportions are still off, but the angles are more accurate than in the second attempt.
The books are:
Anna Ahmatova Poetry Volume 2
Memoirs of Nadezhda Mandelshtam
John E Bowlt's "Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russian's Silver age"
I'd love to learn more about poetry, specially the poetry of Russian Silver Age. I should start by reading through all the poetry, history and memoirs books I own.
