Learning about Birds is one of the best ways to satisfy a 6-8 month old’s curiosity and to develop broad knowledge in him about the surrounding world: developachild.net/learning-about-birds/
The Thomas Learning Space was established through a $50,000 gift made possible by School of Business graduate Diane L. (Thomas) Beatty. In addition to her commitment to the university, Beatty also serves on the Business Alliance Board for the School of Business and will join the Board of Trustees for the Emporia State Foundation this fall.
The rock on the right I found two years ago. It sat around for a long while and finally I came up with a scheme to integrate some cast glass. That scheme required getting a mated rock, of roughly the same form. I thought if I went back to the same location, I might find similar shards. (these are fragments of basalt pillars that break up over time, giving off chips and fragments of various form and shape) The problem was I did not quite remember where I found the first rock.
On my most recent trip, I decided to head back to the spot I thought most likely for the original find. I am learning about this rock. Basalt is formed when magma/lava from beneath the earth rises in columns and then is allowed to cool slowly. In the cooling process the rock forms crystalline structures. This structure determines the patterns of how the stone will fracture and break apart over the eons, as time and the elements slowly degrade the rock. There seem to be an vast variety of forms that result, no two quarries of basalt being exactly alike. So I'm starting to see patters in the way the rock breaks from place to place.
When I got the location I thought I might find the needed matching rock, I did not see any fragments of rock in this shape. But I was now paying acute attention to the shape of the fragments I did find. And I discovered that the way the rock fragments can be vastly different in just 50 meters of distance. I stumbled around for a while scouring the rough terrain and avoiding the snakes ( I saw one rattle snake on this trip, I keep reminding myself that this is snake season and to step carefully; In the winter they go to sleep and it is not really a problem) It was hot, and the car was allready filled with as much rock as I thought it could carry... I was not finding the match. 'I'll look behind this one more stand of rock,' I thought, 'And then I'll head back'. I walked around the corner and looked and there on the ground was a rock that seemed very similar to me. Amazing. I did not have my tape measure with me but I guessed it was pretty close to the original rock, which I had left at home.
When I got home and laid the rocks side by side, this is what I saw (the design involves inverting the form like this) Even more amazing the rocks were roughly the same shape and nearly the same length.
I love this sort of serendipity. It confirms my detective process, for sure, but mostly it makes me feel that the art spirits are guiding me in my quest!

I bought myself a drone! I've been shooting a lot of closeups of birds and flowers for awhile and wanted to start photographing from the opposite perspective -- pulling back and seeing the forrest for the trees. Seeing the big picture from a point of view that a lot of people don't ever get to experience.
My friend Brandon who teaches a drone training course at the tech school in Green Bay stopped over to help me get it set up and gave me a few flying lessons. The drone is compact, smooth, fun, and easy to fly! This is a huge game changer and another great tool in my bag of tricks as a photographer.

Missed the shot but loved the colour!
I have already learned in the first couple of hours of using the 50mm 1.4 that your focus and trigger finger better be dead on or your gonna miss the shot!
