There are lessons to be learned from watching wildlife.
Perseverance, alertness and the battle for life marks nearly every individual creature.
Temporary defeats normally lead to upcoming successes.

First attempt at colour developing - bit disappointing. Negs are very thin - increase development slightly from the recommended 3:15. Also uniformly covered in tiny white spots. It's not dust. Various sources suggest this can happen with hard water, but I don't think ours is.
He has swim lessons with a day care friend, and after lessons they get to eat snacks and play for a while. Fun tradition. Today was the last swim lesson for the year.
"I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trail
From dancing cliff edge shattered sills, to slander shackled jails...
...And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try...
~Phil Ochs
Hugs to the people that make me laugh!
Named after French naturalist Rene Lesson, this colorful motmot is found from S. Mexico to Panama. Seen at Gamboa. Panama.
What says summer fun more to a kid than violin lessons? Aww...I wanted to go to math camp this year!
The Ham took this. If I'd been thinking I'd have just set the camera timer (which I haven't figured out how to set yet) and had all three of us jump.
I told her to sit while taking this (the d50 she can handle, but the d300 is a bit on the heavy side). After this jump she started getting into it and wanted to stand up, i took the camera. She took only one shot and nailed it first try at 2.8 even.

the sun sprinkled in my eye
just as it sparkled on the wheatgrass
blowing in my front yard.
the squirrels argue
maypole-ing around
the ponderosa pine.
I wonder
where does their drama lie?
round and round
trying to catch each other's tails
the sun shimmers on them too
but they are too busy to notice.
after the distant learning lesson on photosynthesis, slaine thought she'd look at a leaf very close up.
.....btb, i think i'm writing a children's book in my head!
anybody have a good idea for how she had the misfortune to become flat??
would like to officially introduce you to slaine slim :)

Stitched shot taken in the kids area of GoMA. Pedro had relinquished his dSLR to Rachel and was explaining the finer points of camera grip, while Ana took an opportunity to capture the moment.
Taken during the GoMA Flickr Meet, 3rd March 2007.
I needed to post something pretty and bright this evening to cheer me up. My old pc crashed big time today, along with a ton of recent shots. I hadn't backed up for over two weeks!
Yeah, yeah, I know! :-(
Please cross your fingers for me in the hope that those geeky guys coming tomorrow can retrieve them!
Life is like dancing
You decide if you want to live it by dancing alone, with one partner or several, as long as you dance nice, happy and with respect for the other dancers.
It has been ten years since our first dance, and I am so happy and enthusiastic about more decades of dances
Do you want to keep taking dancing lessons with me?
Happy anniversary, my love
La vida es como bailar
Tú decides si quieres vivirla al bailar solo, con un compañero o varios, mientras bailes bien, feliz y respetes a los demás.
En cuanto a mí, han sido diez años desde nuestro primer baile, y estoy tan feliz y entusiasta acerca de más décadas de bailes.
¿quieres seguir tomando clases de baile conmigo?
Feliz aniversario, mi cielo
"And on this journey may the good Lord guide us
And may the goddess dance beside us
When you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you've found me
You take my rainy days and make 'em go away
When you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you've found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away"

“How are you doing this?” screams the guy on the roof, “tell me, tell me!”
Some of you artsier folk out there are really into negative space. Being not quite so artsy I never know what to do with negative space. Actually, truth be told, I had so much negative space in this shot, well, it really turned out to be quite negative. Solution? Since I am a detail kind of guy who gets actually quite lost in the detail and never appreciates the bigger picture – you know the saying about the forest and the trees, well my world actually consists of tiny little twigs, great for starting a fire. So I decided to get rid of the negative …. space. Translation of all this: this is really quite heavily cropped to bring into focus what I thought was the important aspect of this image – the actual levitation lesson.
This is also my tribute to hummingbird shots since I don’t get that many up here. This picture was taken in the dead north.
Costa Rica Continued....
On December 19th my wife and daughters did some ziplining and rapelling at a place in Cartago Province called Explornatura and me and my son went on a hike at the same place to see what wildlife we could find. Unfortunately it had been raining all morning and although it stopped for a while when we first arrived the rain started up again while we were hiking. Luckily we were prepared with rain gear but not many animals showed themselves. These animals were seen before and after the rain.
My wife and daughters had a great time on the zip lines and saw a sloth and they highly recommend this place:
A Lesson's motmot (Momotus lessonii) was seen at the Aracari & Birding Deck near Kinkara Luxury Retreat at Santa Elena in southern Costa Rica.

Apparently, if you boil a hydrangea blossom in a water/laundry detergent solution for about 5 minutes, and very carefully rub the blossom with a soft paintbrush, the pigmented flesh rubs off, and you're left with a little blossom skeleton. Well, maybe 10 blossoms later, or 20, you may have one that you haven't torn. :) But, i'm patient, otherwise known as Stubborn!
The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence.

When a Bird is alive... it eats Ants,
When the Bird is Dead... Ants eat the Bird!
Time & Circumstances can change at any time...!
Don't devalue or Hurt anyone in life.
You may be powerful today.. But Remember,
Time is more powerfull than you!!!
one tree makes a million match sticks...
but when time comes..
only one match stick is needed... to burn million of trees!!
So be Good and do Good...
Now and again I do shoot normal pictures at normal times of the day, without ambushing passersby or waving flashlights around. This is one of them.
It's an early morning view of the Logarska Dolina valley. The buildings to the far left are the Lenar Tourist Farm, which I've recommended before and will do again. The main bed in the apartment we stayed in looks straight out onto these mountains, and - though it was six in the morning - having seen them in this light I couldn't go back to sleep.
This frame is a daylight version of this night view shot last summer. Only, whilst the summer shot had flowers in the meadows, the trees are only just coming into leaf here.
I've pushed pixels around a little - lifting the foreground shadow, and pulling down the sky. Even so, I wonder if this is really a shot for late afternoon - the postcards I see of the place are all shot then, with the light coming in from the right, bringing some more contrast and warmth over the lower slopes and valley floor. Nonetheless, even if the valley floor lacks a little punch in this light, I do like the bright, morning glow on the crags of rock.
I listened recently to an interview with Kenneth Parker, talking about the difference in light between morning and evening time. He describes the lack of dust and haze, and the fresh feel of early morning light compared to sunset. I'm not sure I shot it perfectly, but being out in the crisp morning watching the light play across this scene crystalised his words. Lesson learned - I need to head out early more often!
Hope everyone is having a great week; catching up now.
