Outside the Bristol City Council offices at Collage Green, Bristol, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th April 2025.

   

About this photograph.

 

If you are wondering about the meaning of the title Making Sure, the reason is simple.

 

This guy was at a protest staged in Bristol, against the Scottish Supreme Courts ruling that a woman is defined as a female at birth. As you can see from his placard, that he is a father of a transgender.

 

I spotted him with this placard, and moved around to get a better angle, started taking a few photos of him, while he was actually looking ahead, and listening to a speaker.

 

Then through the viewfinder, I noticed he turned his head round and looked at his placard, it was not exactly facing forwards, it was only a few degrees turned around, he looked like he was making sure that his placard should be facing directly forwards, and clearly readable from anyone in the front.

 

At this moment I took the photo, he twisted the placard slightly, to make sure it is exactly forwards facing.

 

The photo was converted into black and white while in Adobe Lightroom, and then cropped in Adobe Photoshop.

Spent the past week taking the grader into the hills driving high on top of the ranges, making tracks.

Tom and I met my mom and sisters in Michigan's famous "Christmas Town" (Frankenmuth) for the holidays last weekend.

 

This (and more) was featured in a blog post! I'd love it if you took a look at the whole set.

I visited the Padaung (or long neck tribe) nearby Loikaw, Myanmar. I bought a scarf from this woman after watching her weave.

Must admit spring into summer makes me feel like a child in a sweet shop! So many flowers to chose from. This poppy still had the sepal cover attached which is always fun I find.

Thanks for stopping

... where to go from here.

This large cement tank is our water supply at our beach shack. There was a green mark on the cement where someone had cleaned their paint brush when we bought the place. I thought that I would cover the mark with a mosaic. What a big job that turned out to be, but it is now completed. The grandkids did the rock and shell section for the sand and if you look carefully just to the right of the two pipes there is a tiny glass bottle with a message in it that has "washed up on the beach". The mosaic was done with tiles, glass, beads and a couple of ceramic fish!!

A year ago, I was in Calgary, Canada, producing a six hour miniseries, a new, invigorated and expansive version of Little House on the Prairie. I am still working on it in post production and the first two hours will air on ABC on March 26.

 

During the six months of prep and production I documented the "Making of the Movie" and posted daily images on Fotolog. I have culled through the six hundred or so images I posted during those six months and will be posting my favorites (some of them not previously posted) in the coming several weeks

The cliffs at Bempton are a great spot to see Razorbills close up. Spending a little while watching them and their interaction with the other seabirds is like having a private window on another world.

1564AD, Watnedalth Tam, Near Borrowdale, Lake District, England. Shepherds use graphite sticks to mark their sheep.

 

A few years before this an enormous deposit of graphite has been discovered near the Seathwaite hamlet. This particular deposit of graphite is extremely pure and solid. It is found to be easy to saw into sticks and at first is covered in string and animal skin.

 

From this discovery pencils as we now know are developed and the pencil industry is born in nearby Keswick. This was and remains the only deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.

This image marks a milestone as it is my 300th image in Explore.

My daughter Martynka during pottery workshops in the little skansen called "The Trail of the Disappearing Professions". She made her own little bowl from clay (with a little help of an instructor, of course) :)

 

The Trail of the Disappearing Professions is located in the homestead of Urszula and Bogusław Gorczyńscy in Kudowa-Zdrój-Czermna. It is a private open-air museum. It was established in 2001, as it was triggered by transferring the wooden mill from the Potok village located 500 km from Kudowa Zdrój. In the potter's workshops the visitors can observe, how the vessels are formed. The interested person can also make their own objects. In bread house the visitors can discover the traditional methods of baking bread and see how the real bread oven looks like. In the cottage of handmade works are presented old household items, so the visitors can observe items of every-day-use. The tourists also have a chance to enter a mill from 1902 and visit small zoo with different kinds of animals. The Route of Vanishing Professions is a unique place with charm that can be explore for hours still discovering new things.

Moja córcia Martynka na warsztatach garncarskich w małym skansenie o nazwie "Szlak Ginących Zawodów". Zrobiła tam własną miseczkę z gliny (oczywiście z pomocą instruktora) :)

 

Szlak Ginących Zawodów to gospodarstwo Urszuli i Bogusława Gorczyńskich w Kudowie-Zdroju-Czermnej, będące prywatnym skansenem. Powstało w 2001 r., a impulsem było sprowadzenie drewnianego wiatraka ze wsi Potok oddalonej o 500 km. Z skansenie można zapoznać się z takimi ginącymi zawodami, jak garncarstwo, kowalstwo, tkactwo i piekarstwo, a w ramach zwiedzania – spożyć wiejski chleb wypiekany na miejscu. Każdy zwiedzający może też wziąć udział w warsztatach garncarskich. Wizyta w pracowni garncarskiej jest niezapomnianym przeżyciem dla osób miłujących się w sztuce plastycznej. Rozpoczyna ją prezentacja ciekawostek o garncarstwie a następnie odbywa się pokaz tworzenia na kole garncarskim. Każdy bez względu na wiek i zdolności ma możliwość wykonania własnoręcznego dzieła na pamiątkę wizyty na “Szlaku Ginących Zawodów”. Program uzupełnia mini-zoo – niewątpliwa atrakcja dla dzieci. Oferta obejmuje także biesiady i spotkania integracyjne.
