After trying out the flying lessons, the adult geese then gave grooming lessons! It was all very hilarious to watch. The young ones watched and did as their parents.

Sometimes, we Learn our greatest lessons;
Through our most difficult and painful emotional challenges.
I know things can get scary at times;
But you have to stay strong and positive.

Try and think of them as opportunities to Learn and grow.

And Creative.
So next time Life throws rocks at you.
Remember it's your choice;
To build a bridge or a wall.
So tell me; Wall or a Bridge? :)
1. How to properly shut off the engine by revving it in neutral
2. How to set an anchor
3. How to set two anchors
4. How to sail at night
5. How to fix a transmission
6. How to fix the head (aka have Kevin on board)
7. How to avoid hitting the dock on departure
8. How to not panic when the engine dies mid motor in the total dark when insurance does not cover damage to the boat and there is no service number to call as Sunsail expressly prohibits sailing at night. We almost learned how to pick up a mooring ball under sail. But Kevin got the engine back in gear so that lesson will have to come on another trip.
She isn't being hurt in any way (just for you information) the instructor said she was holding a bit too much (in a different part of the lesson) but if her hands were forward there would be loose reins, she is turning at the canter (and isn't forcing the mares head to her chest because you can tell the right hand/arm isn't at her hip too)
First drawing lesson on drawing from observation . Students were asked to draw a pair of scissors from memory, and then draw one from observation (looking at a real pair of scissors, not a photo). This is from the 2nd week of a beginning art class in high school.
"I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
I ready somewhere that one the of the first lessons of portrait photography was finding a good angle. I don't think I did too well here, but I seemed to capture three at the same time in the lift at work.
Not my usual style of pic, I know, but I'm a bit busy at the moment so just snapped this with my iPhone 4S today.

Lots of students who finished our beginners course went on to take improver windsurfing lessons with us at the Poole Windsurfing School during July. Here is some of the action!
The thought occurred to me this morning, that trying to take a picture
of lighting is sort of like trying to take a picture of fireworks.
It's a really tricky situation to photograph and you have to learn
from experience (which is hard to come by) or read up on what someone
has done before. Here's what happened to me this morning.
The storm has already passed and it's 15 minutes before sunrise. The
sky is growing brighter and the storm growing more distant with each
passing minute. I'm trying to make the exposure last as long as
possible (30 seconds on my camera) so that I have the greatest chance
of catching a lightning strike. So, I'm closing down the aperture to
keep the shutter speed at 30 seconds. It hit me that -- just like
fireworks -- the smaller the aperture, the "skinnier" the light trails
(fireworks or lightning) look. In addition, you are "gathering" so
much light with such a long exposure that the sky can compete with the
brightness of the lightning strike.
Sure enough, you can see it in this picture. At center-right, above
the tree line where the deep blue meets the light area, you can barely
see the lightning bolt. It was quite dramatic in real life but it
barely shows in a picture. This one -- shot at F10 -- is barely
noticeable. The one at F13 (not shown) is even worse. The one I shot
at F22 (and I know I got it) isn't visible even at full resolution
viewing it full screen.
Lesson: When there's a lot of light in the sky, stick to the middle
apertures (I always use F8 unless I have a specific reason to use
something else) and you'll just have to get lucky on the shutter
being open at the right time to catch the lightning strike.
The big lesson is that it's a whole lot easier to get a lightning shot
when it's dark and you can leave the shutter open longer. Be
careful. Being out in a lightning storm is inherently risky.

A lesson practicing emergency dismounts (basically falling off your horse in an emergency, always good to practice sometimes,) Also everyone is wearing some sort of Halloween thing, although most of it got taken off.
