I was looking for a shot of the pilings jutting out into the river when I spotted this gem. Little did I know it would take me days to edit as my focus was not perfect on the logs in the foregoud. Let this be a lesson to you!!! Make sure you take as many images as you need to obtain perfect focus. This was 5 images and I still missed a spot. Anyway this was my best try at blending the 5 images in a focus and exposure blend. Vlog to follow tomorrow!!
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
I wish I could rule the time
Candy sky and summer
I wish I could rule the Earth
to make a big heart of her
Yes, it's love and compassion
Not war and loneliness
Yes, it's love and compassion
The world and all it's beauty
The wind blows, the storm comes
That will wash me from all evil
With the clouds you can not see
The blue sky that's above us
And the lights that will come to light us
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
(my own translation from Bruno Mad - Dia de Verão/Summer day)

Dominance and hierarchy., otherwise known as the Pecking Order
This young Gannet is getting a lesson in it., and in a few years it'll no doubt be dishing it out lessons of it's own
It's the way of the world and the reason every species in the world has evolved to what it has today

I went to the Resolution Exhibition this past weekend, and got the chance to meet Q. While we were chatting.. he said to me.."We should do a picture together".. and of course, I couldn't refuse. We met up at the new La Vie En Pose Fair round and went looking for something we could do that would be fun. I spotted this great surf board with poses by SSP..and thought it would be great to try out. If you've seen Q's work, you know he's a surfer..and when he took me surfing, and I got to see how good he actually is..I knew I needed this Pro to give me a few surfing lessons *grins*
We took our shots at Lono-Surf Haven, and if you've never been there..you are missing out!! Beautiful sim.. AMAZING waves.. incredible surfing experience... and the perfect backdrop for my lesson on the board!
Check out my partner in crime's incredible shot -
She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

Flying lessons at Princess Juliana International Airport in Sint Maarten. #PlaneWatchingBird #SintMaarten #SaintMartin #FlyingLessons
I have been fortunate to be REALLY busy with work. But it IS long hours, and we have cement floors. This morning I was in back complaining to Davey how my legs hurt, were tired...nag, nag, nag. Bell rings, we have a new customer set the door alarm off, I walk up to see this next customer an it is a one-legged painting contractor. Um yup Lord, Lesson understood. Grateful
These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.
I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.
I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.

In Shakespeare’s eyes, the rose was not merely a flower, but a lesson about life itself. It reminds us that everything perfect already carries within it the promise of its own end. Beauty has meaning only because it fades, like a sunset we cherish all the more as it disappears beyond the horizon. The rose does not strive to last. It simply exists in its fullness, and that is what makes it so noble. Perhaps we should learn from it ? not to fear the end, but to love more deeply before it comes. For in truth, it is not time that destroys beauty … it is forgetting

This image shows the gorgeous detail in the plumage on the upper body and head of the Lesson's motmot.
Motmots like to perch on a limb with good sight lines for spotting bugs or small rodents and lizards moving about. Once spotted, they swoop down to nab their prey in their serrated beak, then head back to one of their nearby, preferred perches. Once perched, they will often bash the insect/rodent/lizard to soften it up. Many bird species engage in this behaviour.
Like many birds with home territories, they are somewhat predictable in their movements. The individual pictured here lived on a property that was converted from a farm to a reasonably large arboretum/garden, and later into an eco lodge.
Every mirror lens has its quirks, and this one’s no exception. The Minolta 500 mm teaches humility — low contrast, odd reflections, and the need to coax detail from the shadows. This yellow-crowned night heron became part of that lesson: a reminder that the best results come from working with the lens’s rhythm, not against it.

At the request of the creators SL,
I made a Demo object and an additional script that allows other users to create their own versions of the landscape elements for the "Auto Season 12 months" from Skifija and this will work with the Time Manager from Skifija.
Now you can make objects "12 months Auto Season" for personal use, gifts and sale!
You can use this script for whatever objects and actions you want, including sounds, animations, etc.
The package includes:
1. DEMO! Skifija 12Months Auto Seasson Grass (Receiver)
2. script:! Skifija 12Months Grass (Receiver) for Creators
3. script:! Skifija 12Monts (command receiver)
4. "! Skifija Time Manager Auto Season 12 Months Landscape v.0.3" - You don't Can Modify and No Transfer this,
Users get it when they buy one of the products "! Skifija 12Months Auto Seasson"
This point assumes that you know Linden's scripting language (LSL).
If you don't understand what this is about, don't use it.

How it works?
The Time manager gives commands on an individual channel for each resident.
The object you created accepts commands using the "!Skifija 12Monts (command receiver)" script
and sends them to the "!Skifija 12Months Grass (Receiver) for Creators" script.
How can I help?
You can contact me with suggestions or questions (if it will be sent for goran Osterham to notecard).
Сondition:
You can transfer this script to the next owner with permission - NO modify, No Transfer or NO modify, No Copy.
Please note that all responsibility for the unscrupulous use of the script lies with you.
Have Fun!

First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

Immature Red-tailed hawk entered territory nest of Bald Eagles
The hawk was able to fly away while I was watching (I enlarged the photos) and after that I didn't see any blood on its body, after the Bald eagle's claws, anything could have happened.
This holiday special edition for my Flickr friends ,Happy Halloween .
If you've followed me for awhile on Flickr, you KNOW the Pronghorn is my all-time favorite North American animal, second only to the African Cheetah. They just happen to have something in common - speed. No speed here, though, evidently just a little lesson in the art of the duel. I gotta wonder how animals communicate - the smaller buck is, in my mind, clearly getting some instruction from the senior - you could pretty much read the big guy's lips. In fact, they physically interacted just moments before, so maybe junior is getting graded before they face off again. What a joy.
You're not wondering why I cut off the big guy -- not often I get caught with too much glass. And if you were wondering about the pronghorn's speed - maybe 55mph in a burst; the cheetah burst as much as 70mph.
"Couronne de lauriers, j'arrive comme César sur le boulevard Barbès. Elle m'masse le dos à Château d'Eau, comme par hasard, t'as pas l'adresse.

Pas d'gros mais de beaux mots, tes potos se sont trompés sur les totaux. Ils font des total, cassent des motos, savent pas que les selfies sont des photos. Ils rappent de la mort aux rats, s'croient à Gomorra, parfumeur sans odorat. En vrai, on est adorables, abordables, on peut être plus sympa qu'Matt Pokora"
