Taken at the Roger Waters British Summer Time concert, while attempting to find refreshments during the beautiful sunset.
Been learning some new processing techniques from Adam Williams (who incidentally is a genius on PS and great guy to boot) which I've put into practice on this Image taken at Turimetta beach on the Northern Beaches of Sydney Australia.
Hope you like it

This Juvenile Osprey went back and forth from this tree to it's nest, testing out it's new found ability to fly. Look out for those talons!
osprey chick practicing for flight he or she got some real height here practice is non the landing talons spread :-)
the chick doing the hopping and flapping is the dominant chick, shortly after the other chick took its turn flapping and hopping around. I hope I am there for the real flight.
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.

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!
...even when they are only partially there themselves.
I don't have the time to really write tonight, I have to run here in a moment to go teach a class and if I don't post this now it will be really late by the time I get the chance to post again.
I will say that my assignment I will be giving the class tonight will be to choose a location close to home, somewhere within say, a five minute walk, somewhere they could easily go to every day, and then go to that place as many times as they can this week and to make photos. The idea being that on the second, third, fourth or fifth trip to a spot you look at it differently. It is an exercising in learning how to see. This bridge is my spot. I go there again and again, reminding myself that every time I go to look at it with fresh eyes no matter how familiar it may seem... it is never really the same bridge. This practice has served me well over the years, hopefully it helps my students too.
P.S. Saw a short video on-line today about Abelardo Morell. Do your inner photographer a favor and look him up. He has been a favorite of mine for many years now but his more recent tent camera work is so intriguing.

The fawns are learning to graze. Still reliant on momma's milk, though. Yearling buck behind this fawn. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
