L'unico modo per dare FORZA alla propria mente e' non dare nessuna priorità a ALCUNA voglia, lasciare che il pensiero percorra le strade dei sentieri della nostra vita, senza dare peso ai bisogni!
The only way to fortify one's mind is to give no priority to any wishes, and let the thoughts freely flow along the path of our lives, without attaching importance to any need !

A day late, but Happy Caturday! I don’t know what it is about boxes, but Josie and Sebastian like them a lot. You should have been here to watch Sebastian take 10 minutes (at least) to squeeze himself into this one. ;) *Beth’s photo.
Taking a leap of faith with Base Jumper Nicole at the Black Dragon formation in Utah. During my last trip my friend Scott managed to arrange shooting some base jumping fanatics at an area near Moab. I was to shoot from above and Scott was going to be shooting from across the canyon for a side view. I have rarely needed to photograph in shutter priority mode and this was a chance to learn something new about my camera. It was such a rush to stand at the top and photograph the falling jumpers, so much so that I was having trouble holding the camera still without shaking, my nerves were on edge and since this was the first time witnessing somebody jumping off of a 500ft cliff was an adrenaline rush even without having a chute on my back. As she stepped off of the brink I could hear her speaking to god. 🙏
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week my friends!! :)

A sublime sunrise at lake Quitzdorf. And what are the party people doing ? Laying sleeping in their tents. I did reatreat betimes because I didn't want to miss that moment at all. On the photographs, I already posted from that morning You can see, that it was more than worth it.
Sometimes it is nessecary to set priorities, no matter what all the others are doing.
This shot was made, when I was on my way back to bed or better back to sleeping bag.
Ein grandioser Sonnenaufgang am Quitzdorfer See und was macht die Party Gesellschaft ? Liegen in Ihrem Zelt und schlafen. Ich hatte mich bei Zeiten zurück gezogen, denn ich wollte diesem Moment unbedingt erleben. An den Fotos, die ich von diesem Morgen bereits gepostet habe könnt ihr sehen, dass sich das mehr als nur gelohnt hat
Manchmal muss man halt Prioriäten setzen und das unabhängig davon, was all die anderen machen.
Diese Aufnahme entstand, als ich auf dem Weg zurück in Bett war, naja eher zurück in den Schlafsack.

Found some time, after taking down the Holiday Lights and Christmas Decorations, to scoot over to a local wildlife sanctuary; the trip paid off ;-)
Cooper’s Hawk:
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
Once thought averse to towns and cities, Cooper’s Hawks are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat, forests. Cities provide plenty of Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove prey.

Once a great role model like Johnny O has met all the requirements and commitments that prove he has his priorities straight, then it's okay for him to have some Johnny time to do something for himself, and of course for him, it's spending some time on his lifelong hobby of singing, playing guitar and making music!

I had wanted to visit Coney Island for a number of years, but the slight difficulty of getting there meant it was not very high on my priority list until now.
The island is certainly a lot bigger than I thought and it may take more than one visit to properly explore it. It reminds me a little of Pulau Ubin but a more cleaner and easier route to travel around by bicycle.
Some experimentation was done in post processing of this shot so things might look a little different from usual shot of photos.
*Working Towards a Better World
Humankind's greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. - Jonathon Porritt
In reality, we haven't escaped the gravity of life at all. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other life-form. - Janine M. Benyus
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature. - Steven Harper
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
The underlying economic logic of an economy based on unlimited growth remains largely unchallenged in public discourse. - Timothy C. Weiskel
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. - Mohammed
The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself. -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, One Earth, One Mind
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. -Rachel Carson
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. - Albert Schweitzer, quoted in Reverence for Life
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
To draw the monkey's attention, I snap fingers, gesture, whistle...., but the distraction proves too great to ignore.

So we went to the beautiful National Trust site Attingham Park. Clearly the priority was to check out the refreshments first! ;)
Three day lillies in the garden this morning! They bloom and fade in a flash, so ...work will just have to wait.
Shooting warblers as much as I do has the occasional benefit of a decent flight shot. The bird has to be departing at a good angle and the shutter speed has to be quick. I generally shoot aperture priority and vary my ISO to get the shutter speed range I want. I really have a lot more to learn about camera settings, and how to use them. With a dark bird like this I am normally also increasing exposure compensation. This is a bird that would likely lend itself well to using bracketing as getting the exposure right for the blacks of this bird is challenging, at least for me.
During a break of severe weather, BNSF 8064 wastes no time leading a high priority Z-train westbound for Denver as it heads out of Wiggins, Colorado.
I was targeting the duck lady, who had just devoted herself extensively to plumage care, when the autofocus of my camera (faster than me) paid more attention to this pretty kingfisher...
What a smart camera ;-)))

Fleece and lichen.
Did you know... Lichens are the best indicators of air pollution since they can't live in areas with concentration of sulphur dioxide in air. Hence, we can say that Lichens are the best indicators of Air Pollution. If there are no lichens present, the air quality is very poor.

No Group Awards/Banners, thanks
What a lovely bright yellow field of sunflowers! Although the massive, bright blue TransMontana of LTE had priority in the publishing ( flic.kr/p/2q3NiJV ), here is a landscape of some beautiful plants, that I captured around a week earlier. Moreover, as the background highlights them, it's giving more power to the composition, and also makes the landscape more natural.

Sony A7iii (aperture priority AF). Overall, my experimenting with AF has produced mixed results. For quick shots AF is helpful. However, when you have time to compose your shot, manual focusing is infinitely better. Anyway. I had a short talk with this lady. She was eager to leave the footpath and walk on the road in order to get to the bus stop. She finds walking very difficult, in particular managing the kerbs that frequently interrupt the footpath. Why do cars get the privilege of running on a smooth and uninterrupted surface whilst pedestrians have to climb up and down the kerbs? And off she went, on the tarmac braving the cars.

An Elderly Woman Was Standing At The Railing Of A Cruise Ship Gripping Her Hat Tightly So It Wouldn't Blow Away.
A Gentleman Approached Her And Said, "Pardon Me Madam...I Don't Mean To Seem Forward, But Did You Know Your Dress Is Blowing Up In this Strong Wind?"
She Replied, "Yes I Know But I Need Both Hands To Hold Onto This Hat."
The Man Fairly Shouted, "But Madam, You're Not Wearing Any Underwear And Your Privates Are Exposed!"
The Woman Looked Down Then Back Up At The Man And Said, "Sir, Anything You See Down There Is 75 Years Old.
I Just Bought This Hat Yesterday!"

I'm at a loss as to the identification of this blue dragonfly that I photographed at Santee Lakes last month. I used an on camera Nikon SB-700 and camera settings that let the background go a little dark so that I could get some separation from the dragonfly and the background.
Other pictures that I've taken over the years of dragonflies are in my cleverly titled Butterflies & Dragonflies Album.
