When I took sunrise two young deer were walking cross the golf course like people's doing morning exercise.當我拍攝朝霞的時候，兩隻小鹿在這裡散步，增加了不少的氣氛
Hope you liked my last Flickr pic – I’ve managed to cover up my modesty now with this old jacket from Addams. I really love the way Second Life looks at the moment with the new Bento heads and some amazing appliers from a variety of different stores. When I compare myself with how I looked when I first entered this wonderful world there is no comparison whatsoever – I really do feel now like I have an alternate existence here that’s almost as vivid as the real thing. Just wish it would get less laggy!!
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
I've never seen a fish bigger than a match stick in this stream ... but the little one was very persistent :D
Cat Exercise Leo was going to start weight training, liked the bench and decided to nap there instead, shot in North Carolina.

Street photography from East Kilbride, Scotland. Once the only 'proper' skate park in the Greater Glasgow Area and popular for miles around, I found just a pair of BMX riders there as I was out on my second weekly lock-down exercise walk (with camera).
They both disappeared quickly as I approached and I am not sure if it was my camera that scared them off or the mass PPE I was wearing. Hair covered by a beanie, military grade goggles, FP3 mask and surgical gloves. That might have been it! Enjoy!

Thanks to the government for our 1 hour exercise.
Following strict distancing guidelines throughout.
Be safe & well good people.
sometimes in the oddest places i see light that needs to be photographed... btw for the past year or so, v goes to a class that uses the exercise ball...
I was out late in the golden hour enduring a few raindrops when I was fortunate enough to be rewarded with a rainbow.
Remember your social distancing. Ruby-throated Hummingbird meets a Honey Bee in flight. Now if I could just get them to wear face masks.

this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."

While out for a jog, I came across these two sportspeople doing their thing in the early mourning sun. One was running into the sun while the other was cycling away from it.
Flickr keeps stealing my description and tags. 4 times now!
Let's try this again. :P
I've been caught in an obsessive, *ahem*, I mean, creative whirlwind designing new dresses to add to the Hopeless Romantic series and putting the finishing touches on this little one, along with a few other projects I am dying to share with all of you! ^__^
I always wish I could be one of those incredible artists (and many friends here) who are able to present a constant steady flow of lovely things to share, while taking regular pictures, keeping in touch with everyone and still living the rest of their lives with family, friends, pets, exercise, errands, chores, business, etc. I am genuinely in awe of all of you! I really have tried, but I don't think I will ever be that person. I seem to go through phases and need large chunks of time to accomplish each part of this balance rather separately and become very quiet at times as well.
Maybe it's just different for everybody and that's ok, too.
I guess I just want you all to know, that even though I don't update or post comments regularly, I do care about you all and think of you quite often. <3
ps- also, I don't recommend spilling an entire glass of water on your open laptop... while it's on... or off either I guess. That doesn't do much to help with keeping in touch, either.
Kisses & Squish!
