My first attempts at domes. - I already have plans to add a couple more colours, and have a couple of locations in mind. The only thing I'm short on is time at the moment.
Learning Route on Natural Resources Management and Climate Change Adaptation best practices covered several districts in Kenya. The event was organized by Procasur with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
The objective was to scale up through peer to peer learning the Kenyan best multi stakeholders’ strategies, tools and practices to fight environmental degradation and to adapt to climate change with the aim of improving the livelihoods of people living in affected territories.

It’s amazing how we can grow into our jobs much the same way we grow throughout our lives. Sometimes, either one is not easy. As time clicks forward, I find both to get easier.
Take my job, for example. When I first started delivering furniture a bit over six years ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. My previous truck driving job was tough, mostly because I was new, but it was mostly dock-to-dock, with most (but not all) offering big chunks of real estate to maneuver in. In my present-day rig, things can get hairy, and really crazy, on any given day.
We have a stop on Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut that serves as a fair reminder to me of what it means to grow. There is a narrow driveway, with a brick building on one side, and a metal fence on the other. Both are enemies of a safety bonus if you should hit one with a tractor-trailer while backing up into a spot where you shouldn’t be. Still, it must be done because everyone who has anything to do with your paycheck needs you to be. I’ve been to this place ten times by my best estimates.
The first time I showed up there, I wanted to cry. “You want the trailer where? Why? How?” I was terrified. In the end, I managed to block four lanes of traffic with honking horns and put my box-of-furniture where it needed to be. I sweated profusely.
The second time I visited I thought, “I can do this. I did it once before, and I know it’s a possible proposition.” It was scary but I knew it could be done, and so it was. It didn’t take as long, and didn’t contain as much sweat.
On my third visit, I showed up, swung across the road with four ways a blazing, and parked the darn thing without thinking twice. A polite grandmother beeped her horn and gave me the thumbs up. There was no sweat involved.
This week, on my tenth time around the block, I rolled my eyes and thought, “Piece of cake.” Then finally, something different happened. As I was backing up, I became captivated by the duplex across the street. After that, I grew an instant attachment to the black metal fence I didn’t want to hit, and the way it meshed with the house across the street. I wondered, out loud, just how many times that building had watched me do this maneuver. Most of all, I wanted to record that moment of time. What else is new?
All this happened while I was safely out of the road. I wanted to be a good employee, so I unloaded twenty-five pieces of furniture before I made my next move. When it was time to go, I inched my combination forward and set the brakes. I opened my door, leaned out against the fence, and took this picture. I left quickly, wondering if it was any good.
A day later, I got to check out my work. I don’t believe it is the best thing I have ever shot. I do enjoy the angle I shot it from. It adds in air of interestingness to the scene.
I like to look at everything I captured in the frame. With old houses, I always like to look closely at the windows, in the off chance that I caught a ghost looking back at me. I did not see any, but I did see that there was a heart in the middle window on the left. (You may have to press “L” on your keyboard to see it clearly.)
Why would it be there, and what does it mean? Maybe the house loves seeing me visit, or likes how I can put a truck into a spot without destroying anything it has to look at all day and night. I’ve even considered that it’s a direct reflection of the love I have for the universe. It treats me well most of the time, how could I not adore it?
A big part of growth is learning. One of the things I’m most proud of learning, is how to look at things differently. My Nikon has helped me to do that. (Learning how to back a truck into close corners without incident has come in handy too.) Seeing things from new angles applies to other aspects outside of photography; I’ve learned a lot about people too. They have told me personal stories through pleasant conversations, and they have taught me things about the city or town I happen to be standing in at the moment. It’s also helped me to think about things from a fresh perspective. That in turn keeps me happy because I like to think. Who knew that learning could be so much fun? It was not enjoyable during my school days. Someone should have told me I was going there to grow, instead of calling it learning. It might have also helped if someone tucked a camera into my backpack.

Continuing what has become a theme of this week, seeing lots of young birds out of their nests, it was lovely to see the baby great spotted woodpecker working out how to use the feeder.

In the last week before christmas we did some cooperative learning with origami. This one is a Bascettastar. Every student (about 13-14 years old) folded two or three moduls and I connected them... Now the class has two bascettastars hanging in their classroom ^.^
that's our son Yagiz playing it safe for the moment in the middle. The boy falling next to him was a joy to watch, I don't think he spent more than a few seconds upright the whole time and laughing the whole time. much better on black

Forks of the Road is small park on the northeast side of Natchez that marks the spot of what was once the second largest slave market in the United States. An interpretative exhibit tells the story of the slave trade.
Slavery, which has been practiced in almost every country of the world, is one of the greatest blights in the history of mankind and one of the most misunderstood. Although the majority of slaves were Africans and the majority of slave owners were whites of European descent, it was far more complex than a simple black and white situation. There were also white slaves wtih fair skin, blue eyes and sandy hair. Slave owners included whites, American Indians, and also thousands of free blacks. The politically correct (albeit historically inaccurate) concept of slavery puts all the guilt on one race and makes all members of the other race victims.
As new economic realities, as well as conscience, brought a gradual phasing out of slavery in the northern states, most of the northern slaves were not freed but were "sold down the river" to southern plantations. Actually far more free blacks lived in the South than in the North. Some northern states were so racist that they did not allow blacks within their borders whether slave or free.
To those who have an interest in learning more about this tragic chapter in American history, I highly recommend a book which I saw on the shelves of a bookstore in Natchez, " Myths of American Slavery". www.amazon.com/American-Slavery-Walter-Donald-Kennedy/dp/...
