Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Foo Fighters - There is Nothing Left to Lose (1999)
The two drug dealers who appear at the beginning of this video clip of Foo Fighters, trying to camouflage drugs on the plane, are Jack Black and Kyle Gass, two musicians who make up the rock group Tenacious D. This song will never be the best song of the rock history, even if the lyrics say so. Nor will they be remembered as one of the best rock bands. But something if they have both: they are two very funny guys. And his music videos and concerts, more. A good group. And "Tribute" a fun video clip.

American Beauty (final scene). Director: Sam Mendes
A film to think and reflect on. A highly recommended film.
Y entonces fluye a través de mi como la lluvia. Y no siento otra cosa que gratitud por cada instante de mi estúpida e insignicante vida.
No tienen ni idea de lo que le hablo, seguro. Pero no se preocupen... algún día la tendrán.

"Life fits in a 'click', in the blink of an eye, in any flake of oatmeal. It is about distinguishing what is worth from what is not"
...Squeeze every second of your life. Learn to fly, even if only as a simple plastic bag blown by the wind blowing in the streets. Otherwise, you will have flown through life... without having understood your own life.
PS: There is one thing I don't like about this photo... the use of pesticides. I prefer organic, ecological and sustainable crops. Pesticides kill insects. If the insects die, the birds have no food. And every day that passes, there are fewer birds... simply because there are no insects. The only species that is a plague on Earth... is humans.
PS: And as explained in ecology and ecosystems or the same words of the best ecologist, oceanographer and limnologist, Ramón Margalef... no plague can survive. Sooner or later... all the plagues, they finish and they are extinguished.

World Citizen - I Won't Be Disappointed (Long Version)
David Sylvian / Ryuichi Sakamoto - World Citizen (2003)
¿Que pasó aquí? La mariposa ha perdido sus alas. el aire es demasiado denso para respirar y hay algo en el agua potable.
Sale el sol y estás solo. Tu sentido de propósito se deshace. El tráfico vuelve al laberinto de la 101 y las noticias del cielo, se ven mejor por hoy, en todos los sentidos, pero no para ti, ciudadano del mundo. No es seguro.
Todos los pájaros amarillos están durmiendo porque el aire no es apto para respirar. No es seguro.
Happy summer.

Liu Fang Yuan, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the largest Chinese gardens
outside China. Designed to create, preserve, and promote the rich and complex traditions of Chinese
culture, this authentic garden is a special place for visitors to feel inspired by the elegant harmony
of nature and poetry. Thanks to visionary landscape architects and artisans from China and the
United States, inspired historians, expert gardeners, and generous benefactors, Liu Fang Yuan
reflects today an exceptional combination of learning and beauty.
A Chinese garden is often compared to a work of art: It is like a scroll painting composed of carefully arranged scenes. As you stroll through the pathways and pavilions of Liu Fang Yuan, new vistas are revealed as if a scroll were being slowly unrolled. In the garden, as in a painting, several key elements play an important part in creating balance, meaning, and beauty in the composition.

Exposure, is there a right one? I often utilize my histograms and the theory of ETTR. (Expose To The Right) However, that does not always render the most ideal image, even when manipulated in post. This shot was slightly underexposed and shot in RAW. The result better reveals the suns rays than the one with the right histogram. Perhaps it is best to keep on learning,

While I was working from home, a baby pigeon was flying for the first time and landed in front of my window. I’m not that fond of pigeons to be honest, but witnessing this fragile creature discovering the big wide world for the first time really made my day ☺️
Next weekend I am taking a macro photography workshop through the RA photo club. I'm hoping to make better use of my expensive Sigma 105mm lens by actually learning how to use it properly! It's been mostly languishing in my bag since last summer.
Continuing to learn something new whether I think I'll use it or not. Study engages my mind during these cringeworthy days.
While some photographers offer luminosity masks to purchase, the steps are easy enough to learn by watching youtube videos.
For this simple dewy, foggy belly shot in August, I used luminosity seven masks and curves to tweak highlights, watching the histogram carefully.
Many thanks for looking!
Why do we publish our work on Flickr? Isn't it because we like it, even are proud of it? Just a thought....
Featured Favorite:
With new each image I will mention one of my very favorite Flicker photographers. These are not in any order except for chronologically - how could one possibly rank such different artists?

Learning to fish
I enjoy watching young birds such as these juvenile Black-crowned Night-herons learning necessary life skills. In this case the one on the left needs to improve its rock hopping before it can perfect its fishing skills.

Juvenile female Peregrine falcon ring no BL-73 from Chichester Cathedral. To think this beauty has only been taking to the air for less than a week, hardly seems possible does it looking at her.
AAW - Theme/Books, March 8-15: My granddaughter learning to read. It is exciting to see her enjoying books. I made this a b/w and increased contrast and clarity.
On our way home from Bath we stopped to visit an Osprey nest. Two juveniles in the nest with mom 150ft away. Mom calling, presumably urging them to fly. Finally this young female moved towards the edge of the nest and took flight! Mom right behind her. She flew ~ 100 ft around the nest then back for a rest. Incredible:)
As you can see the juveniles have orange-red eyes which will change to yellow when they reach adulthood. They have white down like feathers fringing the edge of their wing feathers (primes etc). So glad Kipp was with me to settle the monopod.
------I have taken a major set back in recovering from a surgery I had last October. I am now on medical leave from work. I cannot pick up a camera and typing flares my symptoms. So catching up with your lovely work is unlikely. From here on, perhaps a few words. Will get back to Flickr slowly. I miss you all so much! And I especially miss my camera.
Be well, Flickr friends!
Today’s bear picture is of a youngster (probably a year or two old) sitting and watching in search of what it is doing wrong…with a spattering of pity party mingled in.
The ranger assigned there to keep stupid people from doing stupid things said that the larger, thriving bears adapt several ways of catching the salmon where the scrawny ones concentrate all their time and effort on only one way to fish.
Some people could learn a lot from watching the bears!
