"Learning should be a joy
and full of excitement.
It is life's greatest adventure;
it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of noble and learned men."

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.
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
stretched to the point of no turning back
a flight of fancy on a wind swept field
standing alone my sense reeled
a fatal attraction holding me fast, how
can I escape this irresistable grasp?
can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
ice is forming on the tips of my wings
unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything
no navigator to guide 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 & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo, a vapour 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
gould 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 sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

One of the very rare occasions I will take centre stage in one of my pics ;-) Special thanks to my brother for hanging out in the freezing cold for a few hours and light-painting me with my fave colour... or is it?

This weeks blog post features images and stories about my beloved burrowing owls ... that I miss dearly. While we have burrowing owls as well in western Colorado, they're not full-time residents and are not as social as what I'm used to in Florida... from what I'm told. Check out the blog if you like and feel free to let me know what you think. :-)
This particular young one is not flying yet, but it certainly has learned that it has wings ... as it runs about with them outstretched and beginning to learn how to navigate with them. These owls have a keen curiosity about their life as they grow up. So much so, I believe that you can see it in their eyes! An endless source of entertainment they provide, I can't wait to fly back "home" to spend some time with them.
Thanks for stopping by to view.

Learning a language helps to maintain cognitive function and will allow me to order a cortado correctly.
I'm also getting value from the Council Tax I pay!
And one day maybe I can read Pablo Neruda in the original language.
When we succeed in learning something we feel better, more confident in ourselves and our ability to tackle all sorts of new tasks.
Knowledge is power. ...
One of the most crucial reasons to learn something new is that you gain brain power when you do. You will improve your mental health.
Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, phytonutrients and dietary fiber. which may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. Apples also boost the brain by protecting against memory loss and lowering the occurrence of strokes.
Here's how your brain and body benefit when you crack open a book.
Reading gives muscle to your memory, gives your workout more staying power, keeps your brain young, can melt away stress, boosts your vocabulary, improves empathy, can encourage life goals.

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

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
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
Oggi, perfavore, pensatemi! Io e Massi partiamo! Sarà il mio viaggio più lungo fin'ora (tipo 13 ore di volooo, con scalo...quindi doppia partenza e doppio atterraggio....brrrrrrrrr) e nonostante mi piaccia un sacco stare appiccicata al finestrino dell'aereo per tutto il tempo e io abbia volato un sacco di volte ormai, me la faccio sempre un po' addosso!
Ci si vede dopo l'8 marzo! La Thailandia ci aspetta!
(odiateci, si :-))

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
Orangutans Batang (mother) and Redd (baby), in the Think Tank exhibit at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
I was cutting my lawn this afternoon and noticed a rather large commotion going on in the corner of my yard. Junior was learning to fly with the assistance of at least two adult females and one adult male cardinal. They were very enthusiastic about the process. I turned off the mower and ran inside for my camera - how sweet is that little bird face?!
first time in tour with my a6000.
first photo tour in the woods to be honest.
i have alot to learn
Hope you like it (:
Local Cambodian schoolchildren in the second grade learn to write Khmer letters on blackboard slates during a Khmer language lesson at a government primary school in Battambang province.
Battambang, Cambodia, 2013
Just doing a few jumping shots with Ms. Monnie & Aj ,';0]...
Don't think Ms. Monnie quite got the hang of it as she never really took off!
Aj tried to hold her hand, I thought it was sweet.
Students of Kibera slum, one of the largest in Africa. Many of Kibera's children rarely attend school regularly, and officials complain that the primary school drop-out rate is around 70 per cent.
*It was really nice to find this children there.
There is no development and no hope,
where you can't find school and children.
