sixty six

Lois was the last one I had to shoot for the day. And since she had nothing on after, and because I didn’t have a time limit to work within after her shoot, we decided to have more fun with the makeup we put together.

 

Lessons we’ve learnt today:

1)Red food dye stains your skin pretty bad, not to mention contact lenses.

2)Ground coffee makes an excellent alternative to soil. It made my hands smell good too.

3)We tend to scare ourselves with our overactive imaginations, especially when trying out different shots with the makeup she had on.

4)I remember now why I always say I love working with theatre actors the most, they give you almost anything you ask for flawlessly.

5)Lois and I are like cool bananas and awesome sauce put together, we had a whole heap of fun.

 

Dear Rajashree, Sheena and Lois, you girls are fantastic and I’m so glad you are willing to go through this craziness for me. Thanks to you guys I’ve gotten enough material to work on with the shoots over the weekend, though it was done seemingly rushed.

 

This isn’t part of the series but Lois and I loved it so much we had to share.

Wiki was helpful this morning in illustrating what an authentic cat looks like. And then she did her meercat imitation as a bonus. Accept no substitutes.

(my 272nd photo to make it into Explore)

In this work of art, Kees Verkade has nicely depicted the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson. The power of the pushing father speaks from his stooped posture and big step. The small child barely holds the handlebars of the bicycle with the big wheels. The traces of the sculpturing by Verkade are still clearly visible in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character of the work.

It is a fragile and vulnerable image, with a history of disappearance and destruction.

--------------------

Kees Verkade heeft in dit kunstwerk de dynamiek en wankele beweeglijkheid van een fietsles goed verbeeld. De kracht van de duwende vader spreekt uit zijn voorovergebogen houding en grote stap. Het kleine kind houdt het stuur van de fiets met de grote wielen maar nauwelijks in bedwang. In het gegoten brons zijn de sporen van de boetserende Verkade nog duidelijk te zien, wat bijdraagt aan het dynamische karakter van het werk.

Het is een fragiel en kwetsbaar beeld, dat een geschiedenis van verdwijning en vernieling kent.

Habitat

 

Son muy adaptables y viven en los bordes de los bosques húmedos, secos o de galería, en barrancos con árboles, bosques secundarios viejos, plantaciones de café, banano, áreas semiabiertas, setos o jardines.

 

Distribución

 

Es una especie residente a lo largo de las bajuras y elevaciones intermedias de la vertiente del Pacífico; asciende hasta los 1500 m. en la parte norte y hasta los 2150 m. en el sur. Es común excepto por la parte seca del noroeste donde es local, y se restringe al bosque de galería. Es común en el lado del Caribe, desde el área de Cartago hasta los alrededores de Turrialba, y de poco común a rara en elevaciones medias y bajas en la ladera norte de la Cordillera Volcánica Central. Se encuentra ausente en la mayor parte de la bajura del Caribe, aunque es relativamente común en las áreas más secas al sur del Lago de Nicaragua.

 

Distribución fuera de Costa Rica

 

Se encuentra desde el noreste de México hasta el noroeste de Perú y el norte de Argentina.

Windsurfing for beginners in Portland Harbour, Dorset UK

the girls had their first lesson in horse riding (pony) and they had so much fun.

We didn't have a cone or ball so we used shapes we had.

Lesson's Motmot seen at Villa San Ignacio, near San José, Costa Rica, in January 2022.

For their seventh lesson, the girls took a stab at the music scene by releasing their debut albums. But that's not all that went off, as a confrontation between Dotti, Kaitlyn, Nikki and Maddie turned violet.

 

Devin, Maddie and Pinkie we're chart toppers, being in the top three. While Nikki and Sy'Rai fell into the bottom two. Being true to her word, Sabrina eliminated Sy'Rai, but only after declaring Devin the winner of the challenge.

Lessons I learned from the brief time I spent with Buster.

 

*Buster has been adopted by a loving family.

In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Katherine tells the story of a girl desperately searching for ladybugs who only finds them when she finally relaxes, takes a nap and awakes covered by the beautiful little insects. A great life lesson, I always thought.

 

Today, an unseasonably warm day brought hundreds of ladybugs crawling on my house and flying in the woods. Such a lovely seen....just a lovely reminder of a wonderful lesson.

This project is semi-annoying as it means that I have to actually go and seek out people to take pictures of. Which means passenger areas, and annoying uniform changes.

 

Luckily, I had other options. This is taken from the funnel/ roof of deck 16, looking down on the sports deck.

 

Giant chess sets have a special place in my heart, after many hours spent playing in Gran Canaria. This wasn't a proper game I don't think, but it looked a little like a father-son lesson in tactics.

 

Today, I traced the air start system. It was actually surprisingly fun. Probably because it didn't involve crawling. We were in Ketchikan today but I was so tired that I didn't even bother attempting to go ashore.

The kids in a mixed classroom learn to write on some wooden boards, as it more economic than by using paper. Once they have finished the lesson, they wash the board. Those tool can be seen in antiques shops at high prices!

I've been in India for 2 weeks so far, hence the lack of new photos. Here is one I took the other day in a park in Mumbai. The boy was a street kid till the charity i'm working with picked him up and found him a home and a family!

The second lesson was to adjust the levels on an image (I didn't know how to do this!!) and to add text, changing the opacity and type of layer. Kim Klassen also asked us to work on a light image and a dark image. Here's my lighter one, complete with a rainbow from the other night! (And also with textures from Distressed Jewell/Cheryl Tarrant and Kim Klassen.)

Late one night a friend decided they wanted to know how I transform my pictures into custom art creations, like the ones posted in my mental leakage set. The idea was to watch me work through one from start to finish and learn enough to create their own. (it happens every few months, I gave up trying to talk people out of it a long time ago....)

 

I took a deep mental breath and started playing around while trying to talk them through what I was doing. Where we ran into problems (as almost always happens) was when I could tell them what I was doing, but not why. When I am free-flow playing I tend to go from step to step on instinct and curiosity. I will keep building layers, turning them on/off, rearranging the stacking order, changing opacity, etc etc as my mind wanders. I just go with the flow, rarely do I ever start with an idea and end with that product, it always evolves and changes as I go along.

 

This time they hung in til the end with me (instead of giving up from overload part way through), and want to do it again. They decided to get a copy of photoshop and play around a bit for a while, then once they understand more of the basics come back for more. That's fine, I'm game whenever they're ready.... I'll use the time as a lesson in patience for me. Lord knows I could use more patience... :)
