Last night's visitor to our garden left his calling card. This is evidence that he is finding plenty of food (at our flower garden's expense). At least he's leaving some fertilizer in exchange.

BREVARD, NC (January 20, 2015) — The best young minds in Transylvania County routinely work out hypotheses and analyze mounds of data to arrive at scientific conclusions. On January 13, the tables were turned and students’ own findings went under the microscope during the 27th Annual Dr. A. Mickey Church Math/Science Fair.
Board of Education Chair Tawny McCoy served as master of ceremonies in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. McCoy thanked school personnel and parents who make the annual science fair possible at their schools, and on the county level. She said, “I know that many extra hours are needed to have such an event, and I appreciate your efforts.”
Superintendent Jeff McDaris, with board members Marty Griffin and Betty Scruggs, helped hand out awards to winning students. Curriculum Directors Audrey Reneau and Brian Weaver served as Administrators for the jointly held Junior and Senior Science Fair, with coordinators Sheila Byrd and Marilyn Whitmire.
Fifty-two students submitted individual or team projects for the countywide competition. Eight judges spent the previous day reviewing a combined total of 30 projects to determine winners based on fitness for competition at the regional fair.
McCoy noted that the math/science fair would not be possible without significant community support. She thanked the volunteer judges and added, “Our appreciation goes to Ms. Stella Trapp, owner of the Transylvania Times, whose generous donation twenty seven years ago started our countywide fair.”
Medals were then awarded to the following students, who also invited to compete at regionals in February:

Based on findings in the recent Open Consultation process, this year's Action Line Facilitation meeting on e-business (C7) focuses on electronic commerce (e-commerce) for development. E-commerce is rapidly expanding, but the uptake in many developing countries remains relatively low, especially for SMEs. This session considers the opportunities, barriers and challenges to domestic and cross-border use of e-commerce for trading goods and services by SMEs. It also highlight good practices and promising developments that can serve as inspiration for all stakeholders. An interactive discussion will feature the views of panelists representing governments, international organizations and the private sector as well as comments from the floor. The last part of the session will seek to identify concrete steps forward to accelerate the development contribution of e-commerce.

En la eterna búsqueda de encontrarse con uno mismo, Si te rindes cuando las cosas se empiezan a poner difíciles, nunca lograrás nada que valga la pena
Still enjoying my vacation here in the Philippines, internet is a bit spotty so I'll have to catch up with streams & add contacts when i get back. Went to Ocean Park in Manila yesterday and took some wonder captures of the living seas. Here's one shot of their clown fish.
On a further note, I absolutely love this 35mm F2 lens. Its a perfect fit for a full-frame body lens. It can absolutely do anything. Fast, sharp, wide, great walk around lens.
I'm finding this lens to be my go-to during vacation.
[edited] It’s been a while since I went out for a random night shot. This wasn’t what I originally envisioned for this shot, so I did some editing. Let me know what you think.

We all find meaning in different ways and it isn't static.
I remember as a kid, stepping out back, kicking back and watching the stars. We lived in a log-cabin styled house / trailer in the boonies, surrounded by forestry so the light pollution was very low. I'd go out there and lay on the ground near the cistern and just listen, and stare up at the sky.
Then, one of mom and dad's weirder friends started coming around. They probably did drugs together but I don't remember that part. What I do remember are his stories of Alien abduction. I'd play with my transformers over in the corner and eavesdrop, then go to bed and worry some little grey slit-mouthed big-eyed creatures would snatch me from the bed and strap me into their dentist chair of doom among their spaceship of horrors.
I never really had a real clear sign of what would happen from there, my imagination wasn't good enough. I look back now with this optimistic impression that my life as a kid was pretty good if it was sufficiently lacking in real horrors enough for the imaginary tales of alien encounters recounted by Dad's dumb friends to leave their mark instead.
They really put a damper on my night-treks of star watching by telling me about strange lights in the trees and other creepy occurrences, surely extra-terrestrial in nature. Watching Whitley Strieber's Communion didn't help, either. Suddenly the night sky was no longer a glimmering collection of magical cosmic diamonds, it was a collection of nefarious little potentially dangerous lights, that at any moment may intensely illuminate and snatch me up.
A Kids mind..
(Looking back, those strange lights just over the trees were probably the Sheriff's doing low-altitude helicopter Narcotics sweeps. The war on drugs was in full effect and my parents were probably as good a target as anyone.)
Years later, I really found comfort in the starry sky. Billions and billions of stars, some of them like our own and statistically some could even house life and statistically speaking, most of those proposed life forms probably aren't hellbent on snatching little fat kids from their beds to do surprise dental work.
In my dad's final days, i pushed his wheelchair into the night air, in a night like tonight. We talked underneath those stars and it seemed to sooth his racing mind, which was loosing it's battle against the cancer that had spread there.
Today, it's back to promise. I'm not really worried about little Grey aliens, Benghazi, the IRS, the DOJ, this administrations follies or the last president's antics. 1,000 years from now when we are all turned to dust and the news of today has likely faded into nothing, these little ancient points of light will still be there for some other eyes to stare up at... and..That's pretty awesome!
