A young juvenile Tri-colored Heron practices the proper moves and lines up the next target on Horsepen Bayou. Still in the juvenile plumage with the rust and gray colors making for a nice appearance in this state. He/she will eventually look a bit more like the adult that I posted recently.

To travel is to leave home,
is to leave friends
is trying to fly
fly knowing other branches
walking roads
is trying to change.
To travel is to dress like a madman
that is to say "I don't care"
is wanting to return.
Return valuing the little
savoring a drink,
is wanting to start.
To travel is to feel like a poet,
is to write a letter,
is wanting to hug.
Hug when reaching a door
yearning for calm
is to let yourself be kissed.
To travel is to become mundane
is meeting other people
is to start over.
Start by reaching out,
learning from the strong,
is to feel loneliness.
To travel is to leave home,
is dressing crazy
saying everything and nothing with a postcard,
Is sleeping in another bed
feel that time is short,
to travel is to return.

I am learning Portuguese recently. I have found Portuguese is really an excellent and wonderful language!
This is totally inspired on this wonderful shot of Chuppy!
Even Lassie has found that book and wanted me to teach her something about photography!
“Lassie, look thru the hole in the camera!”
“What camera?...”
“Lassie! There’s a CAT!”
“OMG!!! Gimme the cat!”
You can see, she has those ears and eyes when it’s about cats!
The best way to wake up Lassie: say the magic word CAT!
Tomorrow I’ll show you her shot!
in the end even dogs can do photography! Proved!
Happy Beginning of the weekend!
PS
About the title: photography is like flying for me, because I can take everything and feel free like flying!

"Learning to Fly"
This last month my wife and I just bought a home. It has been a very exciting time for us but also very challenging. I have learned so many things that I never had to do before; buy paint for a whole house, use joint compound to fix walls, change light fixtures, etc. I am very surprised at home much I have done and with very little help.
I am more aware of my need for God to be my compass in life. He has provided for all my needs and been faithful even though I haven't been in most things. Trusting God is like birds leaving the nest.
I have been pushed out into the world.. its time to learn to fly.

One from summer when I taught him how to row on the River Clyde, West Scotland.
Escena de la dura vida salvaje en el Ngorongoro. La situación de su compañera quedaría grabada para siempre en la memoria de las atentas observadoras. Lamentablemente no pude fotografiar la escena de la caza de la cebra de Burchell por la leona. lo que sí pudo hacer otro compañero más atento y a quien envidiaré eternamente.... Yo solo pude atrapar los momentos finales y el posterior festín de la leona.
A veces me reencuentro conmigo mismo y solo basta una imagen que me lo recuerde.
Caminé tantas veces por estos espacios abiertos, donde solo la brisa marina y mis pasos solían dar curso a mis pensamientos.
Ahora cuando miro me doy cuenta de cuanto me faltaba entonces y cuánto me falta ahora, logré tantas cosas que soñaba, sin embargo deje otras realizadas en el camino.
Observando a este padre, con su hijo en el muro de esta tan transitada vía, contemplando como la vida transcurre tranquila y sin prisas en medio de una tarde de Octubre, me siento con ganas nuevamente de tomar por asalto el mundo y mirar como este niño con ojos grandes las pasiones del futuro.
Sometimes I come back to myself and a picture it is enough to remind it.
I walked so many times by these open spaces, where only the sea breeze and my steps used to follow up my thoughts.
Now when I look I realize how much I was missing then and how much I need now, I got so many things I dreamed, however let others made along the way.
Watching this father with his son on the wall of this very busy road, watching as life goes quiet and unhurried in the middle of an October afternoon, I feel like again to take by assault the world and look like this child passions with big eyes the future

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

This is an "Afterglow"- it's the light even after the sunset, but it mostly appears at the other side of sunset
This learning was shared by Allan Barredo
Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast how
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Mixture set to maximum percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
(Garbled word) - on
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three-eight-echo ready for departure
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff, winds over ten knots
Three-ieght-echo
Easy on the brakes, take it easy, its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and it
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
No, I don't play, but am learning . . . slowly. Moving my fingers independently is more difficult since my broken wrist last year, so this is like physiotherapy for my hand, but more enjoyable! It also said that learning to play a musical instrument is good exercise for the aging brain, but the jury is still out on that one! This is a classical guitar with the strings slightly lowered.
I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning.

Have a great sunday!
Fijne zondag!
Morgen start weer een nieuwe fotocursus... Benieuwd wat er zal gebeuren!
Learning To Fly
Tom Petty
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Myself and my mate Ian have been waiting for fog for some time now at Chipping Norton. Missed it yesterday because it wasn't forecast, but nabbed it this morning! YAY!!! This is a 7 shot Panoramic.More shots to come from this morning later. Hope you like "Learning To Fly". Mike
