Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!

Saturday soccer practice in Newhall Community Park in Concord, California. Mt Diablo is in the background.
Interesting aside: The red team is all wearing masks. The white team is all (or almost all) maskless. It reflects the very mixed responses to Covid in our society.
Diárioooooooo!!!!
Estou tãooo feliz com o violino. Ele é maaaaais bonito que o cello. Mas o maaaais importante é que foi presente do Solle. É como se ele tivesse me dado uma partezinha dele pra que eu cuidasse. Eu vou cuidar disso aqui como se fosse um bebê! Vou andar pra todo o lado com ele, e cuidar dele, e dormir com ele. Bem... se eu dormisse eu bem que poderia dormir com ele. É... eu não consigo dormir direito. Eu só consigo tirar cochilos curtos cheios de sonhos e pesadelos. Só durmo de verdade quando o Solle está por perto, mas se eu durmo ele não dorme. Todas as vezes que fui pro quarto dele dormir ele não dormiu. Ficou acordado a noite toda. Eu sei disso porque uma dessas noites eu fiquei acordada sem que ele soubesse e vi que ele nem cochilou. Parecia preocupado. Ele sempre parece preocupado.... E ele nunca sorri... Queria que ele risse e fosse feliz. Talvez se eu aprender a tocar o violino direitinho ele fique contente. Quem sabe eu não ganho um abraço também?! Hihihihihi! *///////* Então preciso treinar, treinar e treinar bastante!
Tchau, Diário!

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.
some website about crows and ravens, which I shall not name here, has taken many of my shots and posted a link to my whole crow set without any permission. I have emailed them to take them off ASAP, but so far no answer and the images are still posted.
Since my privacy settings prohibit any downloading or printing, I am somewhat puzzled how they got them in the first place. Does anybody know?
I don't like wildlife shots with a huge name printed right on the image, but I can understan why.
These two Fallow bucks couldn't resist a quick clash of antlers - but it wasn't anything serious and didn't last long.

I saw some snapshots of Kanye West x Adidas fashion show, and I really love their tone of colors. So I decided to use it for reference. I need to practice more on different kinds of skin tones.
This morning it was with a Baroque instrument. No adjusters or chin rest, gut strings and a shorter bow. Steep learning curve. It made me feel tired just to watch. Unfortunately this violin is not a 1695 Stradavari, otherwise we'd sell it and both retire.
Since retiring it has been wonderful to indulge myself with yoga practice. It is my routine to attend at least twice a week.
Our instructor has a perfect soothing voice.
This is the view from my mat at class.

******************************************************************************
The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. They are extremely agile high in the treetops. (They are often confused with the flamingo.)
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?! :)
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!"
