Sometimes I say, how in the world did I get so old with so many wrinkles. Then I think, I've earned every one of them.

Public speaking is the #1 fear of Americans, even higher than death. Public speaking ranks as a top fear amongst most people. It's usually right behind "getting eaten by a shark" or "falling off a skyscraper". But, actually, it is an art which can be cultivated by learning necessary skills.

In 2019 the Government plans to run a new spending review – setting out how much money it will give each department. In doing so, it will shape the future of public services and investment. It will have to declare whether it is still attempting to shrink the deficit or departing from the course of austerity. It will also have a chance to explain its vision of the UK after Brexit.
A new report from the IfG argues that past spending reviews have failed in important respects. Future ones should be run differently in order to improve people’s lives and achieve the Government’s goals.
The report was introduced by Martin Wheatley, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.
The event was chaired by Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government.
To discuss the findings:
James Bowler, Director General, Public Spending, HM Treasury
Simon Parker, Director of Strategy, London Borough of Redbridge

How much more work can I do today?.. a very nice and bright day while watching people enjoying the sun and children running around the water fountain...?
How cute are these Christmas stockings and isn't Barbara Carlon, the layout designer, creative?
Christmas stockings layout created by Barbara Carlon (in Sprout), using fabric designs by several designers (sourced through Spoonflower), including my 'Maneki neko lucky cats, 4 directional on lucky 8s'; and misstiina's 'Christmas candy cane stripes red' and 'Pinstripes red'.
I think this looks so wonderful: I really love the combination.
And isn't it terrific that Sprout and Spoonflower combined can enable this kind of creativity?
Catch Barbara at her personal blog Zibergirl.com and her new place of employment: Sewist.com, the new sewing social network. Thanks very much Barbara for letting me share your creativity, really appreciate that!

Another macro image from the pop-up book by Ron Van Der Meer, "How Many". These stars in the paper sculpture come forward and up out of the book with many layers and translucent film to support some of them. The artist/author planned the work so that it looks great from forwards and from backwards! See the other images in the same set "Color Magic" for more pages of this book.
"Girls, we do, whatever it will take
Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
So it's better to be fake, can't risk blue ... sinning love again rain."

This one looks great big. I just love it when the insects and dust are captured in the sunlight like this. It creates such a magical look.
"Contre Jour" has quickly become my favourite style for shooting couples.

This is, basically, a throwaway photograph. The subject matter is uninteresting and there's certainly nothing intriguing about how I took the shot. However, there are two very interesting aspects surrounding this photograph that speaks to something I've mentioned before in how Dona and I take pictures.
On this trip, Dona and I were purposed to find the tombstone of a famous bluegrass musician, Charlie Poole. His grave is in Rockingham County, a place Dona and I go to repeatedly looking for subjects to photograph. I looked up directions to the cemetery online and we set off.
When we got to Eden (Spray) and were following the electronic directions, we came to the end of the line only to discover that the cemetery was nowhere in sight. In our experiences, electronic maps are not as accurate as you would expect them to be. Frustrated, we started traveling the surrounding roads in hopes of coming across the cemetery. After several minutes, I was all for giving up and returning home. Dona, though, is not one to give up once she starts something. So, on we drove looking for the missing cemetery.
I've mentioned before on Flickr how the most interesting and meaningful photos Dona and I have ever taken were found when we became lost. There have also been times when we have searched for subjects we knew of but had no clear idea how to find. Then, all of a sudden, we would awkwardly stumble across our destination. We refer to this as being guided by unseen hands. It happens so frequently, more often than not, we purposefully get lost just to see where we'll end up and what we'll find. It almost always turns out to be we find subject matter we never knew existed.
On this trip, we decided to backtrack our route in hopes of finding a turnoff we might have missed the first time. We found a place to turn around, a church parking lot. Dona was in the process of turning the car around when in her rear view mirror she spied the sign in the photograph above. Immediately, she brought it to my attention. She parked the car and we walked across the road to explore the Old Spray Cemetery.
It appeared to be abandoned. The grave stones were broken and covered with weeds. I had to be careful where I stepped because the area was covered in brambles that tore at my pants.
I took my pictures and we left. Incidentally, we did go down the right street that led us to the cemetery where Charlie Poole was buried. But, that is not the story that I want to tell.
I belong to a Facebook group of people who lived in Spray at some point in their life. In the mid-sixties, the towns of Spray, Draper and Leaksville were combined into the city of Eden, North Carolina in Rockingham County. This group is comprised of older residents and past residents that post photos and memories of growing up in Spray.
I was curious about the Old Spray Cemetery. I had never heard of it before and had never read any comments about it in the group. So, I posted this photograph and asked if anyone knew the history of the place. Yes, people had heard of it. Some people had family buried there. But, over the years, the cemetery had been forgotten. Being a small, Southern community, honoring the dead and the resting place of the dead is an important thing. Immediately, comments were posted about how shameful the cemetery looked. Questions were asked whose responsibility the cemetery was. Someone contacted the City of Eden. They did not own the cemetery. No one claimed ownership. Over the next two or three weeks, the members of the Spray group started a campaign seeking volunteers to go into the cemetery to clean it up. Arrangements were made with the church across the street to allow parking for the volunteers. A date of November 10th is the date for the cleanup. A member of the group took the old sign down, painted it and replaced the letters. The new sign is back in place.
All of this came about as a result of Dona and I getting lost trying to find another grave in another cemetery. Judging from the comments I read on the group page, family members were reconnected to memories of passed family members buried here. And, I hope, the efforts of cleanup will be such that this little resting place of loved ones who have passed over will be restored as best as can be to a maintained cemetery.
It's funny how those who have passed on can remain with us in our memories and our hearts. I have an aunt that died in infancy and is buried in Danville, Virginia. No marker is on her grave. Over the years, I cannot determine if any family members ever visited her grave after moving to North Carolina shortly after Dorothy's death. Yet, for me, I often think of that small child in her forgotten grave in another state. Does she wonder why her family forgot her? I researched online and found the plot information to locate her grave in the cemetery where she is buried. I don't drive. It's been over two years since I got the info to locate her grave so I could stand where she rests and let her know not everyone forgot about her.
Some people think my interest in photographing cemeteries is disrespectful. Some people tell me the past and the people who inhabit it have no bearing on the present. I believe time is a continuum. Much like a river that travels from this place to that, it effects whatever it touches. What went before determines the present just as the present determines the future. I cannot and will not forget my Aunt Dorothy as it appears my family has. Dorothy may not have been around long. But, her death impacted my grandparents' lives more than anyone but them will ever know. No. I do not believe the dead should ever be forgotten.
How's that for shallow depth of field. I like this pic for a couple of reasons.
One, it is a very good example of what a shallow depth of field looks like. And two, it is easy to see that depth of field is planar, as the focus area appears to warp around the round rock.

Rainy morning waste collection day in my neighbourhood. I took this for our 2 year-old grandson who is in love with trucks and who we can't visit due to pandemic restrictions.
This truck is picking up green bin (organics) waste which the city will compost and use in the parks and distribute to gardeners. The truck is operated by a single individual. It has right-hand drive and no driver's seat. It is driven from a standing position (much like the Apollo moon landers were). The driver pulls up to a household, hops out to engage the green bin in the lifter which raises and dumps the contents. He then repositions the bin on the sidewalk, climbs back into the cab, drives to the next household and repeats. I wonder how many times a day he does this. Even with the mechanical lifter, it's a very physical job. Even so, the driver took a moment to wave and give a thumbs up. Unlike many office jobs, this is not a job that can be done from home at a computer screen. Hats off to all the essential workers.
Note: You can see in the foreground that our hydrangea bush has entered its beautiful end-of-summer yellow stage.
Yippe for Friday, everyone!
This is the first shot taken on my gawjus Manfrotto tripod, I pulled in near this field on my way home with it. No soon had I got it erect when POW! A man appeared asking me what I was doing....ummmm taking a photo?? I then nervously went into depths to explain it was a 3 bracketed shot, I was hoping to get a good HDR. I don't know why I told him this, I'm sure from the look he gave me it made no sense.
Anyhow after he had told me about people walking their dogs and spoiling nearby crops and not being respectful, I decided NOW was the time to do a silly shot, knowing that he'd gone away happy that I was trustworthy.
A 10 second timer dash, if you don't mind, in which I sustained a slight elbow injury, gawd knows how. And its not the best shot, but Im so happy with my new tripod that I decided to upload it even though it shows my horrid Hobbit feet off nicely.
... to see the day rising at this place.
Wie ich es liebe...
... den Tag an diesem Ort erwachen zu sehen.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow to take better pics in the daylight of these cuties I got in the mail today!

Do you know to make some a lego cape. I show you how to make it. Making a cloth similar to Lego fabric.
I am no expert, but this is what I know. Critiques of this are very welcome!
What is panning? It is a technique that is used to capture moving objects. One popular object to pan are cars, but you can also apply this technique to other moving objects like bikers, joggers, dogs etc. A good shot of a object in motion has the two following characteristics: (1) the object is sharp and (2) the rest is blurry. (1) and (2) give the picture a sense of motion.
The picture is a good pan of a blue Mazda6. How do I know it is a good pan? First, the car is sharp. If you look at this picture in original size you will see that the car is very sharp; you can even see that the driver has a small earring (at least he has good car taste). Second, the background is pretty blurry. Look at the trees behind the car - all one nice blur. Third, look at the wheels. Since the wheels move differently than the car, they are in motion. If you blow up the picture again you will notice that the middle of the wheel is almost still. In fact, you can almost see the small Mazda logo that is there.
For another example of a good pan look below at this pan of a Ford Tempo (one of my best pans had to be this old car!).

The fallen lime leaves and wet rocks provided a wonderful contrast of colour and textures - this was a great spot, if somewhat slippery! I didn't have a tripod with me so this was hand-held at 1/8th of a second - I think I just about got away with it!
