This is Pearl's latest trick. Jumping up in the window.
The cats are going to be just thrilled........NOT!
The other morning I was completely thrown off guard when she first did it (at least the 1st time she's done it in front of me!). LOL.....I guess she figures if the cats can be up there so can she!
So much for thinking anything we put up off the floor onto the windowsill would be safe (i.e. cat food dishes), like in the old days with Raven!
This dog can climb and jump...she's very nimble and sure footed....possibly part mountain goat!
Tootsie has never liked to learn tricks, she would always do them kind of reluctantly... She's very smart and knows exactly what you want from her, she just wants to do as she pleases. No matter how yummy a treat on the other end may be...
But, for once, maybe because it was Valentine's day, she indulged me and kept the biscuit on her head for a bit :). Although you can tell by her expression that she is not super thrilled... This was a freshly baked cookie on her head, that she devoured right after the shot!

Traveling Wilburys
The song was used over the end credits of the final episode of the British sitcom One Foot in the Grave and the American comedy Parks and Recreation.
A version sung by actor/singer Dennis Waterman was used as the theme tune for the pilot of the BBC production New Tricks
This photo is dedicated to my grandparents, who gave me an awesome camera for Christmas, and my mom, who has helped me with my post processing skills and is teaching me all her tricks.
This beautiful peacock lives in the Bronx Zoo in New York, where I visited with my other grandparents. When I saw the peacock I kept following it around taking pictures. I took tons of pictures but only got a few good ones that were in focus. I really like the composition of this picture and think it's one of my best. I'm hoping it gets onto Explore!!
Pearl and I have been working on a new trick called "Ta Daaa!" I'm sure, with practice, Pearl won't even need me to hold her little paw. If you try this with your small dog be sure to do it only over a low bed or something soft in case they fall. Pearl's got really good balance and she sits right up and has never toppled over.
Thanks so much to all my sweet flickr friends who are sending healing vibes for my eye. I go to the ophthalmologist again tomorrow to see what improvement has been made.
I've been slowly but surely working on matting and framing. I'll have 24 large format archival prints matted and framed in my upcoming show in August. It's been a lot of fun seeing my photographs "come to life" and on the wall.
Happy Summer Solstice everyone (:

so i got this lovely in the adapter in the post for my dslr. always loved the depth of field the 80mm P6 provides after shooting several rolls on my Kiev 60 TTL. So naturally when i discovered i can use it on my eos i just had to snap it up! Looks as though i may need to invest in a wider lens though more dollars :(

LINK to video - James Bolam Denies the Rumors After Rodney Bewes’ Death - www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rXbf6dRYag
James Bolam - James Christopher Bolam (born 16 June 1935) is an English actor. He is best known for his roles as Terry Collier in The Likely Lads and its sequel Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, Jack Ford in When the Boat Comes In, Roy Figgis in Only When I Laugh, Trevor Chaplin in The Beiderbecke Trilogy, Arthur Gilder in Born and Bred, Jack Halford in New Tricks and the title character of Grandpa in the CBeebies programme Grandpa in My Pocket. He also played the serial killer Harold Shipman in the ITV drama Shipman and portrayed Harold Wilson in the BBC documentary The Plot Against Harold Wilson. For When the Boat Comes In, Bolam was twice nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor in 1977 and 1978 and in 1995 he was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor for Glengarry Glen Ross at The Donmar Warehouse.
1960s & 1970s - Bolam's first professional engagement was at the Royal Court Theatre as an understudy to Ronnie Barker in Chekhov's "Platonov". He first appeared on screens in the early 1960s, initially in television shows such as Z-Cars and the Northern social realist films A Kind of Loving and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (both 1962), in the latter film as the best friend of the title character (played by Tom Courtenay). It was The Likely Lads, with Bolam as Terry Collier and Rodney Bewes as Bob Ferris, which made Bolam a star during its 1964 to 1966 run and he adapted the scripts for a BBC Radio version soon afterwards. He appeared with John Thaw in the Granada serial, Inheritance in 1967. Before the sequel, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, began its run, Bolam appeared in films such as Half a Sixpence (1967), Otley (1969), and O Lucky Man! (1973). The revived series, chronicling the further adventures of Bob and Terry, lasted for two series broadcast in 1973 and 1974 and a 45-minute 1974 Christmas Eve special. In 1975, Bolam appeared alongside the original cast in a further BBC Radio series adapted from the 1973 TV series and in 1976 there was a reunion in a feature film spin-off from the series, simply entitled The Likely Lads. Bolam's co-star Rodney Bewes stated in 2005 that the two actors had not spoken since the film had been made, a period of over thirty years. The rift, according to Bewes, developed through his indiscreetly telling a journalist that when Bolam's wife revealed she was pregnant, Bolam was so startled that the car he was driving mounted a pavement and almost crashed into a lamp post. Bolam denied there was a rift between the two men when Bewes died in November 2017, claiming that they "didn't talk for 40 years because of their busy schedules rather than resentment". In 1976, Bolam returned to straight drama; he played Jack Ford in the BBC Television series When the Boat Comes In, which ran until 1981.

The saying is that you can’t teach old dogs new tricks. This means that’s it’s hard for someone who has been doing something one way for a long time to do it in a new way.
The same goes for graffiti. We’ve been doing this for over 25 years right now and it’s hard to let go of some old habits.
This doesn’t mean you have to follow all new trends but certainly, if you are open to some new influences, it can help to improve your work. We want to keep a good letterstructure but painted in a different way we did before, let’s say a 2.0 version.
The weather forecast was not good (heavy rainshowers) so we painted this one in a semi closed tunnel. The background was completely spraypainted. This way we could do some effects with the background color into our pieces. It worked very well. We tried some new things which sure will come in handy for some of our future pieces…. So stay tuned

What better place to share a little photo news??
This weekend I am taking my first photo class / workshop. :)
The Rocky Mountain School of Photography caught my eye years ago...seems like an excellent program. They are based in Montana but do workshops throughout the country on weekends.
They're in Binghamton, NY this weekend (only 3 hours away), so after work today I'll drive up and try to learn something. :)
Of course, my only hesitation in sharing this news is that you'll expect some big improvements. haha. Um, don't. :)
Flickr is still my favorite photography school though - I'm so fond of all the teachers. :)
So after finding ZpanishZcorpio I figured I really had to figure out how to work my Self Timer. This attempt was NOT successful!
My little cherub Lily! Cheeky and so sweet. I learnt a new skill from my good flicky friend Dennis. How to smooth cherub skin! Lily had some eczema on her cheeks so this was the perfect piccy to practice on. I love learning new things ;o) thanks Dennis.
Flood has suggested that the hereios of the We're Here! group should show something that they have learned in 2012. Well, we all know the proverb "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" so I can't say that I've learned much in 2012 - more likely forgotten stuff I once knew - but I've forgotten what it was :(
However, over Christmas my elder son has taken the hard drive from my old PC computer and retrieved the documents that I'd created in "MS Works" and which I couldn't read on my iMac.
My daughter has set up a short-cut on my iPhone which means that I can go straight to Flickr via Safari (note the icon above)
And my younger son has set up my iMac so that it opens with Google as the home page with a link to my Flickr home page on the tool-bar at the top of the screen.
So all three of my children, in the space of five days, have increased my ability to play on my 'phone and computer, so I think it's fair to add this photo to the Learning group today as Flood suggested :)
Stuck for an idea for your daily 365 shot? Try the hereios of the We're Here! group for inspiration :)
Parsnip attempts something new and exciting - pulling herself up and over the top of the open laundry closet door..
Rusty can tell you it's been a busy, exciting week. First there was the toque handoff. Then Rusty learned a great new trick and, most exciting of all, a big package arrived from far away.
The toque handoff went without incident ... no police, no charges, no hard feelings but no ransome either. When it was all over Rusty was heard to mumble "Too much stress, no treats". I don't think she'll want anything more to do with the criminal lifestyle.
Rusty learned her new trick in about 3 minutes. From day one, when she first moved in, she's been a terrible photo subject. Most often she comes running (ok, walking fast) toward me whenever I point the camera at her. And no matter what I do she will not look up at me or the camera. As she's deaf no amount of finger snapping or "kitty, kitty" has ever effected her anywhere-but-at-the-camera gaze.
With the challenge of posting one decent photo of her each Sunday necessity became the mother of a shameless use of cat treats. In less time than it takes to remove my lens cap Rusty'd made the connection between looking-at-camera and treat.
I used to pour over her images to find one that would do. Now I pour over her images with the new burden of which-of-the-many do I choose?
And now the parcel in our mailbox. Our flickr friend, Kelli (http://www.flickr.com/photos/alice_browndog) made a Franny Pillow for Rusty. It came with the instructions: "Just put it where ever, and Rusty will find it".
Well, the pillow was a big, generous surprise and Kelli you are a cat expert. Rusty found her soft red/starred gift and she claimed it as soon as she saw it.
While Rusty and I are lucky and we don't have to worry about feeling the cold ... Kelli your gift was totally HEART warming. "Thanks" doesn't cover it.

Stephen Foster plays a customer in his own Chiswick High Road bookshop in episode 10.8 of BBC1's New Tricks, first broadcast on Tuesday September 17 2013.
Chiswick is one of New Tricks' favourite locations and has also featured in countless other TV and film productions. Silent Witness was around shooting last week with another big film crew on location in W4 on the day of this broadcast.
The first scene inside Fosters' Bookshop featured Stephen Foster as the customer, Dorian Lough as 'owner' Stuart McKelvie and Dennis Waterman & Nicholas Lyndhurst as UCOS investigators Gerry Standing and Dan Griffin. A second scene outside the shop featured Dorian, Nicholas and Denis Lawson as Steve McAndrew.
With other scenes - again - filmed inside Chiswick's Moran Hotel. The episode also featured the farewell after 10 years of Amanda Redman as Det Supt Sandra Pullman.

2nd March 2008 - Kitty has decided he likes the new trick of leaping onto my leg at around knee height... then crawling up to my shoulder, whilst I'm brushing my teeth or washing my face in the bathroom. He has a peer about, but loves looking at his own reflection, seeing all the movement... he's an odd one.
I'm ripped to pieces from teeny tiny claws. Love it though.
