Today I meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same time. We have just had some lunch and now we are wanting to watch the feeding of the Pelicans here at back doors of the Charis Seafood shop. this all happen around 1.30pm except for Mondays.
The Pelicans start arriving hour or so before and wait around for their fed of fish. The fish carcass are tossed into the air, most get one fish and move off but some wait around for some more!.
Getting into it: time for the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Three packs of stinky, gooey concoctions of herbs and whatnot are applied to different areas of my two legs. They are left on for four hours. After they have been taken off, the pain in each area has increased dramatically. Understandably, I asked them not to do that again.

The Marg boys do a crafty sashay to get their work done quick in Camphora so they can get on home on this short turning day.

There is a quote which says: "You're born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes".. This fish made a BIG mistake by swimming in front of a Heron!

grandezza, nonché dalla consapevolezza che essa sarà inutile
nell'immediato futuro.

At the outlet of Lake Wanaka and the start of the Clutha River ..May 1, 2016 Central Otago in the South Island of New Zealand.
Wanaka, a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It's the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are near the park. Just outside the town is the outdoor maze and sculpture gallery of Puzzling World.

This is a Sandhill Crane that I saw at Circle B ranch in Lakeland, Florida. They flew in and landed right in front of me and started vocalizing as I approached. I got the idea that they would prefer me to leave.
You wouldn't believe how loud they are. I was about 8-12 feet away and I got as I could with 300mm. They weren't really moving away, just side to side constantly turning away from me.
I also had to keep my eyes open and not fall in the water while I am looking through my viewfinder chasing and dancing around these birds, trying to get a photo. Ha!

Getting a chance to capture the special moments of a Bride getting Ready for the Wedding are indeed a privilege.
Firstly because, this is the time when the Bride shares last moment Jokes & stories with her friends & Bridesmaids. Also, because this is a time of Transformation. The before & after pictures of the Bride at every stage - Before/After the makeup, Before/After the Jewelery, Before/After the Maang tikka (Hair ornament touching the forehead) and so on....
The *ooohhs* & *wooowws* by the ladies in the Green room surely help the Bride get super confident to face the 'Audience'.. :D

This is my response to the "get pushed "challenge by leadingedgephotography- who has such a great variety of photo techniques in her stream. She asked me to do a concept shot based on these lyrics:
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
Well I never do concept shots- I am much more concrete, and even though what I came up with has certainly been done before by many other people, this push made me think. And that's good.
It's dark - the sun had been down for a while and the rain clouds were coming in. Still, a beautiful evening in Algonquin Provincial park.
It took about an hour but I got so that I could get within about forty feet of the western meadow larks today. Left click for more detail.

He looked at me as if saying to me, "Get your camera ready, I'm about to start my act" :)
Praise the Lord for a chance to visit HK again after 5 years, even if it was just for 3 days. :)
You tell me I am getting old
I tell you, that's not so.
The "house" I live in is worn out...
And that, of course, I know.
It's been in use a long, long while,
It's weathered many a gale;
I'm really not surprised you think
It's getting somewhat frail.
The color's changing on the roof,
The windows getting somewhat dim,
The walls a bit transparent
And looking rather thin.
The foundation's not so steady,
As once it used to be;
My "house" is getting shaky,
But my "house" isn't me.
My few short years can't make me old.
I feel I'm in my youth;
Eternity lies just ahead,
A life of joy and truth.
I'm going to live forever, there.
Life will go on---it's grand.
You tell me I'm getting old?
You just don't understand.
The dweller in my little "house"
Is young and bright and gay-
Just starting on a life to last
Throughout Eternal Day!
You only see the outside,
Which is all that most folks see.
You tell me I am getting old?
You've mixed my "house" with me!

...taken by the old military barracks...
Izmit, Turkey...
So many get carried away
looking at the outside
seeing an image but
not getting the picture
Everyone likes being noticed
wants be good looking
and attractive and admired
beauty is but skin deep
and all skin age
and all ageing mature deeply
for all ages behold beauty
in the eye of the beholder
ageing with someone,
with a look in their eyes
seeing the message of being
attached and drawn
looking past the effects
of time and gravity
Loving you, not for
how you make him/her feel
but for how he/she feels about you
and the reward will be
because of that
you make each other feel good
It is not give to take
or take then give
it is give and take

A flock of 15 Rosyfaced Lovebirds were having a very noisy get-together on our neighbour's roof. By the time I had finished fiddling with lens, camera, exposure blabla, only 9 were left. But still....I felt pretty chuffed to have managed this snapshot at least.
Edit: Added to Wing Wednesday three years later....
Never found a group like this again. Still chuffed. ;-)
Happy Wing Wednesday!
My talented and lovely Get Pushed!! partner Sue aka green-dinosaur challenged me to create an image entitled "Light Play". Had plenty ideas of sun shining through leaves etc. but a) the sun is on holidays somewhere else and b) I've done something similar already, so I decided to try something new.
As threatened before, I decided to play with light and tried my luck at light painting.
What did I learn?
1. It is fun!
2. It is not as easy as you might think!
3. Keeps one fit - running from camera to the spot and back and trying again and again and again...!
4. I still tend to use too much light!

One interesting manner of ants is their braveness!
When you get close to their territory, no matter how big you are, they attack you and try to defend their kind.
This kid is getting older all the time, especially since he's quickly fitting into his older brothers' clothes. Playing around with a 70D & 85mm f/1.8 for www.CanonRumors.com enjoying them both so far.
