March 20, 2021 - California Poppies and Wildflowers at Chino Hills State Park. Photo Shoot with Ayla Qureshi, Leticia Hernandez, and Andrea Parsons.
Lena and I headed outside to take some pictures. Today is not only the First day of April, but the first day in quite a while that it seemed nice enough to go outside!
Good Morning Earth, Good Morning Spring. Good Morning flickr world. My babe and I got up early this morning to go treasure hunting. We found some gems in the earth. This is my favorite time of year.
I haven't been able to get around to streams in about a week or so it seems... I will get there! ;-) Thank you for the kind comments and encouragement I've been finding with my recent posts!! I'm starting on some big projects and your words and feedback are invaluable help to me! I am so appreciative!
Gratitude Journal: I am grateful for Spring. I am grateful for seasons. I am grateful for crack-of-dawn photo seeking excursions! :))))

A year of living positively. 7/365
Happy 27th, Son! More than anything we wish we could tell you directly. As you can see, you're not forgotten. This year we need you, your cousin Ellen, your Grandma McGlynn, and your Grandpas to keep cheering us on - we know all of you have been - as we fight forces of evil destroying your beautiful state and country and so much that has been sacred to your family for generations. Love, Dad
Saturday I went across to Windsor to my old medical centre. I've visited a couple of different doctors in my area (both male) and haven't felt really comfortable with them and when I tried to make an appointment one time with another nearby medical centre they basically said that if I hadn't been there before they couldn't take me on :-S
So even though the last doctor I saw at my old medical centre is on maternity leave and my favourite doctor has not been working there for a couple of years, again due to child-related commitments, I ventured back over because they have all my history and such, so it's not quite like starting over.
Since I was in the area, I decided to visit one of my favourite features of my old neighbourhood, the St Kilda General Cemetery :D
I filled a 1GB memory card rediscovering graves I'd explored back in 1996 and 1997, and where I'd photographed my friend Daniel for my final folio, and taking shots of flowers and such (yes, flowers... eep!)
By the end of the 365 days project I'd like to get a more imaginative image of me in a graveyard. I need to find one that's interesting but out of the way and rarely populated. I'm conscious of people thinking I'm a weirdo or having an objection to me photographing graves, let alone photographing myself in a cemetery and using a tripod to do so.
Just when I was thinking I was pretty much alone in the cemetery and free to relax a little and take some self-portraits, this friendly-looking but nerve-inducing guy around my age made his appearance just as I was picking up my bags after taking a couple of self-portraits near this grave. We exchanged smiles, mine quite nervous, worrying that he was a mourner or a caretaker about to tell me off for taking photos. In the end he didn't appear to be either and didn't approach me directly, but he did seem quite curious about me and seemed to be lurking about a bit more than I'd have liked. In the end after I'd wandered a bit more and tried to appear unruffled, I decided that I'd had enough of watching over my shoulder and left the graveyard to head home.
In my typical style, first day of spring and I already managed to get a bad sunburn :-S
Wage: Say, Ket. What are you doings?
Ket: I'm seeingers if this eggers will lstand Its the firsters day of springers and they say you can balance an egger like this.
Wage: I thinkers it was the Chinesers who developed the practicers. The Chinesers are often cite as havingers originated the practices of standing eggers on end during the equinoxers. Just as the equinoxers symbolically restorers balance to the world by signalling its rebirther after a season of darkness, the equinoxers literally balancers the day by dividing it into equal portions of darkness and light. If the symbol of fertility, eggers, could be balanced on end during a day equally divided between day and nighters, this was a signers that all nature was in harmamony.
Ket: I think it sounders like baloney.
Wage: It's a rumorers, and you are the sciences man who should knowers this.
Ket: Your righters. It's time ot scrambler this egger and have our meal.
Happy Spring
Happy Vernal Equinox

I saw a friend post a similar photo on FB today and just had to ask.. apparently there is some speculation to the idea that the earths gravitational pull on the spring and autumn equinox allow this phenomenon to happen, whether it is true or not i know two things..
1. its pretty freaking cool
2. i just spent entirely too much time trying to make an egg stand on end

One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.
On a beautiful first day of spring, Eden and Asa play in the sandbox of Tompkins Square Park's Avenue A playground.
It's still too cold here to go out and play. Spring means that warmer weather is headed our way. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
