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.
30 minutes of walking around in the woods, we found a small clean spot where i could take a few shots. We all got the cold after that haha.
Anyways, have a great day people of Flickr! :)
this female Osprey would occasionally fly out of the nest and land near by, where the male brought in this bass 4 times not letting the youngsters eat and then would fly out carrying the fish untouched...I'm guessing he was trying to get them to follow him...must be 'a lesson'!?

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.
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"

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!

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:

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!
My mother, who passed away last Sunday at the age of 90, and my father, who died in 2006, at a carnival ball in 1962
My father lost both feet in the Second World War when he was 17. After the war, he finished school and started studying law. He managed all this by getting around in a lever-operated wheelchair. One day, as he was struggling up the steep Schweizerberg in his home town of Memmingen, a young girl approached him and asked if she could help him. That's how my father met my mother.
But this young girl also found out that it was likewise possible for double transtibial amputees to walk with the help of prostheses. However, the way there was somewhat lengthy and arduous, since, for example, post amputations on both sides were also necessary. So my mother had to do a lot of convincing and also overcome resistance from her future in-laws, who saw only torment in such measures.
But torment or not - the result of these measures proved them both right, my mother for her persuasion and my father for letting himself be persuaded. There is a photo from that time in which my father can be seen proudly riding a bicycle, and another in which he is standing proudly on a ladder. But the most important thing is - and now we come to the photo I am showing you here: when the owner of the Memmingen dance school heard about these achievements, he said that someone who could walk could also learn to dance, and he offered to give the young man dancing lessons free of charge. That's how my father learned to dance.
Years later, in the early 1970s, when I was listening to the song "Don't Bogart That Joint" from the film Easy Rider on the stereo in our living room, my father heard a standard dance rhythm he was familiar with, grabbed my mother and started pushing her around the floor to this reefer song. The memory of this scene is so funny and beautiful that it makes me shed warm, comforting tears.

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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
Dad, I thought just landing on this thing was good enough!
Son, we haven't even started-gonna be a long day!
It is my responsibility to teach her that
• physical beauty does not define you.
• the house we live in nor the cars we drive say anything about us
• our actions and how we treat others says the most about who we are
• never let anyone tell you how to feel
• no one can make you feel unworthy unless you let them
• this is the only earth we have, and we need to be nice to it. even if it means walking out of jcpenney with boy Jockey undies and socks in hand because you don't want the plastic bag.
• you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
• one person can make a difference.
• some people believe in God and some people may not necessarily believe in God, but have a belief in a higher power, some don’t believe in any higher being and that is ok. it is up to you to decide which you choose to believe in.
• you don’t always have to forgive, but sometimes you just have to let go.
• hate is like giving someone free rent in your heart.
• no one is perfect, even the best of people make mistakes.
• not all friendships last forever
• bad things happen to good people, there is no reason why.
• sometimes abortion is not a choice, but a heartbreaking necessity.
• never ever judge someone’s actions until you have been in their shoes, because it is easy to judge if you have never been there.
• not everyone has to believe what you believe, that is what makes this world interesting
• when to use who vs. whom
• make “throw like a girl” a positive statement.
and this is just a few random thoughts... more later
