Learning Forest: Drying off

during the night

this creation came from a shoot yesterday .. my son and i were jumping on the bed.. fun!!! and i made the background using a picture of mountains in colorado where my borther lives and a field of poppies i found on the internet!!! :)

my son has not been napping consistently or for very long, so this means changes are necessary in my rules for my 365... i don't want to quit the project..but i am going to loosen my requirements.. since i rarely get use of that free chunk of time in the afternoon..i am just going to have to try my best to take a picture and whether or not i do a lengthy manipulation will have to depend on my son's needs..

:) i'm trying hard not to be disappointed about making huge changes with my stream.. but in a way i think it will help me grow as a photographer to try and come up with interesting shots that don't need much processing... but don't get me wrong..if i find the time to process a photo.. i certainly will! ... since it is one of my greatest joys and forms of expression... just wanted to give a head's up about where my stream might be heading..

:)

also will check in with my friend's streams later tonight.. have to post this and run unfortunately

special thanks to JoesSistah for the radical wings!!!

big love xoxoxoxo

Sydney's first ballet class. This was taken shortly before she left the class. She only made it 10 minutes into the 45 minute class before giving up. I think it was too overwhelming for her being in there with the big kids. It didn't help that Jessie kept giving her instruction...haha. I kept telling Jessie to let the instructor give her guidance, but Jessie being the teacher that she is, kept telling Sydney what to do.

Next week, we will make sure she is in an age appropriate class. :)

flamingos offer lessons in makeup and in impersonating a question mark...

These 2 juvenile Osprey were practicing flying. They didn't leave the nest... just up and down. They will be gone soon though.

I have photos of horses to work from. Thank you Johny.

Have you ever tried to draw a horses head? Easy? Oh yeh... Try drawing the nose for the first time! But I am learning. Wearing out my eraser, and have a long way to go, but I am learning, (I think) These are my first three horses!

whilst taping up my living room windows to start decorating, i decided to use the paper to write some irregular portuguese verbs on so i could get familiar with them. they're not easy as they obviosly defy the rules of the patterns i've become familiar with so i have to learn them parrot fashion. i thought it would be a good way to add practice whilst i'm decorating the front room

Well I started out down a dirty road

Started out all alone

And the sun went down as I crossed the hill

The town lit up the world got still

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings

Comin down is the hardest thing

Well the good old days may not return

And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings

Comin down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down

Break your heart, steal your crown

So I started out for God kno ws where

But I guess Ill know when I get there

Im learning to fly around the clouds

But what goes up must come down

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings

Comin down is the hardest thing

Im learning to fly around the clouds

But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to fly

My ma, 'the poet', who is the litle girl on the left, also wrote this poem:

Learning Time

Old stone wall giant in height

A two year old holds tight to the hand in sight

Swarms of Green with kaleidoscope heads held high

Holding breath what's at the end of the adventure of night.

Peeping and plodding along, around the curving path, not sure what's to be

Oh a mass of Green not a disappointment to see

A gentle hand on it pulls tight, not just a bunch of Green but a smell of delight.

A voice of knowledge now explains nature's way

The bunch preciously held is on its way

Mint in the making for lunch it will be

And a two year old has learnt something else for free.

- Chris Burt

i'm learning to stay with whatever arises; learning to witness my emotional weather. when fear or shame or sadness arises, i stay. i want to judge or distract, yet i eventually stay. and you know what happens when i stay with the difficult? i also stay with the joyful. i stay with the love and the happiness.

and i savor little things, like my backyard wildflowers blooming well into the autumn chill.

And learning how to use Lightroom 5...I am used to old Photoshop CS4 but decided to try Lightroom 5 and I love it! There is however a learning curve and I have experienced some frustration. But it is indeed a great program and I do recommend it.

Hope all is well in the world of Flickr!

They are getting SO big now ... all to fast. Just look at those feathers!

This young, male White-headed Woodpecker was waiting for mom to feed him, calling out to her and following her around the trees until he finally decided to try to slurp up some tasty bugs on his own.
