The theme for Smile on Saturday is"look up to the sky".I have many images as it is my favorite past time but this made me smile.For our wedding anniversary in 2010 I gifted John flying lessons. I had forgotten what a joy it was for him as he took his freedom flight' As I stood on the ground looking up to the sky, , the plane accelerated, beginning to disappear from view. I recall feeling that same joy for him. I hope this makes you smile
The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.

However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.
Information about the Launceston Art Society:
These young adult bears had found a porcupine and the one on the right payed the price. Sometimes life's lessons are learned the hard way. On a positive note I have some face shots of the one on the right and it's eyes were unharmed.
Had to post an alternative version of my "Daddy Lessons" picture as I really liked the colours (and felt like it deserved a close-up shot).

It was a very dark afternoon at Guango. The skies opened several times as we wandered the grounds by ourselves. The Ecuador we visited this time was very different from pre-Covid Ecuador - we very often were the only visitors to many amazing and in the past crowded birding hot spots. Tourism was destroyed in 2020 and has not recovered - it was the fourth largest sector of the national economy (number one is oil). We heard the same story everywhere - zero income for three years. No assistance. Folks in South America generally don’t save money either, as the hard lesson of currency devaluation has been learned: money saved will become worthless. Truly hard times for nearly everyone, and it ain’t over. It was good to be a tourist and do our part for the recovery.
"Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path, sometimes they're the ones that take you to the best places. "
Happy Fence Friday!

At the entrance to Thiksey Monastery's main prayer hall, a young monk interprets the Bhavachakra, or Wheel of Life, for a companion. This complex diagram serves as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the six realms of existence and the three poisons—ignorance, anger, and attachment—that drive the cycle of rebirth. The entire wheel is depicted in the clutches of Yama, the Lord of Death, a stark reminder of the impermanence of all things.
All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

1) have tripod set up already; 2) double-check the aperture (of course it was on 22 instead of 2.8) because things look brighter in-camera; 3) just enjoy watching the lights dance.
glad i did lots of #3!
