that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…
One more from April. One of the eaglets watching and learning how to fly with confidence.
Thanks all for your wonderful comments sent my way from yesterday's post and words. After writing about the eagles in the morning, sharing it on Flickr, we headed out to the eagle's nest. To my surprise and delight, for the first time this year, the Mom and Dad Eagle (Lucy and Ricky) were feeding a newly hatched eaglet or two.
Happy Happy New Year.

Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.
White Stork chicks stretching their wings in readiness for leaving the nest...much toppling about going on! This one in particular seemed ahead of his or her siblings.
Info again:
Here in Sussex at The Knepp Estate are the first known breeding pair of White Storks in the UK since 1416. There seem to be three chicks in the nest and it was wonderful to see them stretching their wings and waiting impatiently for the female to arrive back with their food. So, very exciting days for all of those involved in this reintroduction! The White Stork Project are leading the way and here is what they say about their project:
"These large birds, symbolic of rebirth, are native to the British Isles and evidence suggests that they were once widely distributed. Whilst it is unclear why this spectacular and sociable bird failed to survive in Britain, it is likely that a combination of habitat loss, over-hunting and targeted persecution all contributed to their decline. A contributory factor may be that it was persecuted in the English Civil War for being associated with rebellion. The white stork is a migratory bird species, and there have been many sightings in the UK over recent years, but conservationists identified that the species would need a helping hand to re-establish a breeding population in Britain.
The White Stork Project is led by a pioneering partnership of private landowners and nature conservation organisations, who are working together to restore a population of at least 50 breeding pairs in southern England by 2030 through a phased release programme over the next five years."
I'm going insane here!
If anyone knows of a good tutorial on shadows on wall etc please don't hesitate :)))
Miss Lily has seen many snowmen on flickr and wondered about them so we started by reading this book. Miss Lily thinks the snowman here looks a lot like Aunt Owwee's man They both like bright hats.

For MacroMondays theme "Heritage"
Both my parents work with education, my mother is a teacher and my father is a professor at the university, so even though I didn't choose their profession, I've inherited their curiosity about new things.
Didn't know how to make an image about learning, so this pen (and the decoration, which is on the other end of the pen) gets to represent learning. I think making notes or writing essays is part of studying.
Happy MM!
A few (uh huh) thousand feet above the ground, window seat, just behind the wing.
Happy Blue Monday, y'all! :)
Solely inspired by my cousin's Nostalgia.
Okay I know it's not as puuurdy but I was only on the plane for an hour! I couldn't have expected a sunset in broad daylight. :P

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center

Kruger National Park
Ten days ago I posted an image of a female Hyena teaching her sibling how to play with a stick. It didn't take the youngster long to find out what to do with it.
Have you ever driven past a really nice location and then hours later, you get home and you realize you dont remember where you saw that fantastic spot? Thats what happened with this park. I found it last winter and ever since have wondered where the heck it was. Over the weekend, I was out and about and suddenly
found myself at this park..........again.
I walked around and enjoyed the scenery and snapped a few photos and when I got back to my car, I locked in the location on my GPS.

“People will not always understand you.
Dare to be different.
People will not always believe in you.
Prepare to work harder.
People will not always do right by you.
Let them go.
People will not always love like you.
Keep loving harder.
Nobody’s opinion of you will matter when you know who you are.
Love Thy Self enough to walk in your own light.. down your own path.. and accept that sometimes we grow apart from people.
Sometimes we lose a lot of the people around us because they were only placed in our lives to help teach us something about ourselves.
Be open to learning.
Be welcoming to change.
Find yourself.
Be yourself.
Love yourself.”

A great moment of life is seeing wild animals in their own natural habitat. Cannot beat it, and very addictive.
Just back from 'Tour de Bear' in the Canadian Rockies, Western Canada. Very tired, but some absolutely beautiful wildlife moments and worth every minute we put in. And there were a lot of minutes too, with us spending hour after hour, and day after day looking for wildlife.
Also, met a number of great photographers around our trip. All out in the golden hours searching for these charismatic animals.
Two siblings black bears, one black and one brown in colour. We named these bears Lilly and Marshall
Chip Oakenbrow decides it is time to teach the younger boys of his Lenfel village the art of hunting. As luck would have it, Chip and his young companions happen upon a black bear just exiting its cave. This is the perfect opportunity for Chip to show his apprentices how hunting is done in Lenfald.
Well, this is my first CCCXI entry. I built this small dio for the "A Child's Life" category. I experimented with a new technique for the trunk of a tree. Anyways, have a great day! :)
