Ferox and I took Stolas and Vox to Evergarden for some Cross Country practice. Olympics fever is really kicking in. We've been riding almost every night either Show Jumping, Cross Country or Dressage.
We fly out for Paris next week! Can't wait for the Olympics!

I did joke at the time of avoiding the oil drum bin in the background but decided it should stay as being an oil drum fits in with cars and racing.
But I was taken with this angle giving a circular plate shape of the beautiful Jag.
Location is paddock garage area at Goodwood racing circuit near Chichester.
I may be wrong, but I think I witnessed members of a big name team (Masayoshi Kashiwagi) performing super-nice short turns right before my eyes. Their yellow and blue uniform really stand out. Not sure if Kashiwagi himself was among them today though. Yes, I did my share (slaloming) after them, knock on wood! ;-) No, the skier in this photo is a young competitor/demonstrator, not me. I must say this photo doesn't do justice to his techniques.
All you need at the end of a hard day is one good friend to make you smile ♥
This is how I found Charlie when I came home today... practicing to become… a clown?! :)
A couple of young bucks practicing with eachother in the forest beneath the 1st Flatiron this morning.
looking incredibly sexy wearing YoUnique's item for the Thirsty Event, which opens up on the 15th. Make sure you put this on your list to check out. Those gorgeous wrapped Cleopatra shoes will be available as well. There is a great hud with 10 different color changes and 2 types of sleeves you can choose from ~ as you see am wearing the plain and not the "Strip Me" ones. Kiara will fit most bodies but please try on a demo if not sure as you can see on my Maitreya it looks fantastic! Remember the event does not start till May 15th and will run until June 5th. Enjoy

DPi's on track during the afternoon practice session. Didn't help as the 7 only managed a 5th place and the 6 never made it. Great looking livery though.

"Aim just a bit higher Lillywind!" Bree called out as she lobbed yet another snowball toward the aspiring beater. "Best if you hit it straight on!"
Adjacent to the mural mile floodwall during the annual Paint Louis sanctioned graffiti event, this individual appears to be practicing or testing some paint on this building. Thanks for looking.

Working with off camera lighting. It is not easy but lucky for me I have a voice activated light stand (my husband) to move the lights around. :o)

Toby is tolerable with hats, but Riley is a mixed bag. Yesterday (when I was just practicing and not shooting at all) he was excellent.
Today - in front of my iPhone on its tripod (so - minimal setup - see stream for cute little iPhone tripod I use) and he was... unimpressed.
However, since I was using the kitchen lights and NOT the flash - I could take as many pictures (via remote) as I wanted.
Ha!
This was the best in the box (with only TWO that had both dogs with hats and me not in the picture).
(and yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color. This is actually where I shoot all my "studio" photographs - hence the usage of backdrops)

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer practices Space Station repairs in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA.
The giant pool is over 12 metres deep and features a full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station. It is used to train astronauts in the very precise and difficult task of making repairs or installing new equipment in the vacuum of space.
To simulate microgravity underwater, astronauts are weighted down to minimise the buoyant force that would otherwise have them bopping back up to the surface. They must also work very slowly to compensate for the drag caused by water.
It’s about as fun as falling in water fully dressed and pulling out your laptop to start working. But someone has got to do it.
Extravehicular activity or EVA training is standard across the astronaut experience, beginning at the candidate level and continuing before and after a spaceflight.
Additionally, astronauts take on a slew of other hands on activities and simulations. Matthias is in Bordeaux, France, today for the latest parabolic flight campaign. From medical training to orbital mechanics and computer engineering, astronauts have a busy schedule.
Becoming an astronaut involves a cutthroat selection process for an exciting job. But it’s not without its risks. Human spaceflight today has evolved into a standard and safe job, thanks to the sacrifice of courageous individuals over the years. Without their contributions, humans would not be the space faring species we have become today.
In celebration the beginning of the space era, the UN has designated 12 April as International Day of Human Spaceflight, more popularly known as Yuri’s Night. Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human to fly to space on 12 April 1961, a historic event in human history.
Events are held across the globe in celebration of Yuri’s Night. Find one near you and join the world’s largest space party celebrating human achievement beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
And if you happen to meet an astronaut, show them some love. They don’t always have it easy.

Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.
This is Joshua practicing his glass blowing at a shop in Cabo San Lucas. We visited as part of an organized city tour and some people got to try out blowing a bubble of molten glass. The bubble at the end of the metal rod quickly cooled and then was broken, producing very thin glass shards that were discarded.
