Question for you east coasters: how do you know when a pond is frozen enough that it’s safe to walk on? I would be constantly afraid of falling through the ice. I guess at the public garden you at least know it’s shallow enough that if you fell thru you wouldn’t die, just ruin your day. But I’ve seen pics of people out walking on some of the natural deep ponds recently. How do you know it’s safe? I’ve read too many stories of people falling thru and coming up under the frozen ice not able to get to the air... I didn’t grow up around natural ice and it just seems way too scary. Anyway, this is an iPhone X shot from the public garden today.

You probably wonder what is that horse with stripes and paint markings ?! Well, let me answer that question. It's a cute cross between a paint horse and a zebra. Hence why it does have those cute ears and strange tail. We are so glad she take the markings from her mama and the stripes from her dad. So happy to be able to call this cutie ours, she'll grow up a little more but not so much cause we all know, zebras aren't that tall !

 

You might have another question about the collar the mare have on her neck, well, this pretty here is cribbing on fences that means she'll literally destroy them with her teeth ! This collar will avoid her to do, don't worry it's without danger for her, it have a little furred part on the top and under her jaw as well. It will prevent us as well to change the fences every weeks.. We'll see how it goes !

So I have a lot of extra Lego Squad-related pics that either didn't turn out how I wanted, just weren't the ones I chose to post, or have older versions of figs in them.

 

Because of this I've been thinking of opening a second account just for those so they don't have to clutter up this account.

 

What do you guys think? would you want to see some extra stuff, or are you sick of the Squad? Let me know down below!

All my life I have been fascinated with fantasy literature and movies. From DandD through to Magic the Gathering, I have always had a love for the fantastical and magical. I guess I find the made up worlds of imaginations preferable to our own reality. But sometimes, the worlds of the mind cross over into the world of the real ( how can it not, most worlds are based, in part on what their authors see around them).

I had a discussion today with a follower and he raised the question in my mind of what is MY style. I guess my influences are the magical tales of deep green forests far far away and misty woods inhabited by all sorts of strange and wonderful beings.

This iamge reminds me of the scene in LOTR where the Ents gather to discuss how to deal with Saruman and his Goblin armies laying waste to their forests for their own fires and war machines. I hope you like it.

Humanity is extinct. Bands of nomadic robots roam the wastelands of Earth, astride their dinosaur steeds. Dinosaurs have returned, because they are awesome, don't question it.

"Their common name refers to a distinctive silver mark on the hindwing." Can't see it here, unfortunately.. Proboscis in the sand?

the loaded question to which no sane man will answer.

Les deux points de vue pourraient coïncider à condition que la société en question soit organisée de manière à offrir des possibilités optimales pour que l’individu puisse atteindre le bonheur. Cependant, cela n’est pas le cas dans la plupart des sociétés que nous connaissons, y compris la nôtre. Bien qu’elles diffèrent dans la façon de promouvoir les objectifs du fonctionnement régulier de la société et le développement personnel, il existe toujours une contradiction entre les objectifs du fonctionnement régulier de la société et le développement complet de l’individu. De ce fait, il est impératif de différencier avec finesse les deux concepts de santé. Le premier est gouverné par les nécessités sociales, le second par les valeurs et normes concernant le but de l’existence individuelle.

Malheureusement, cette différentiation est souvent négligée. La plupart des psychiatres ont tellement bien intégré l’organisation de leur propre société que, pour eux, la personne qui n’est pas bien adaptée est stigmatisée comme de moindre valeur. D’un autre côté, la personne bien adaptée est suppose de plus grande valeur, en termes d’échelle de valeurs humaines. Si nous distinguons les deux concepts de normal et de névrose, nous arrivons à la conclusion suivante : la personne normale, c’est à dire adaptée est souvent en moins bonne santé que le névrosé réputé de moindre valeur humainement parlant. Il n’est souvent bien adapté que dans le sens où il est prêt à abandonner son Moi dans le but de devenir plus ou moins la personne qu’il croit devoir devenir. Toute individualité et spontanéité franches sont perdues. À l’opposé, le névrosé est celui qui n’est pas prêt à abandonner le combat pour avoir le droit d’être lui-même. Ses tentatives pour sauver son Moi personnel ne rencontrent pas le succès escompté et, au lieu d’exprimer son Moi de façon productive, c’est au travers de symptômes névrotiques et en se retirant dans une vie de fantaisie qu’il cherche le salut. Cependant, du point de vue des valeurs humaines, il est moins impotent que le genre de personne normale qui a totalement perdu son individualité. Évidemment, il existe des personnes qui ne sont pas névrosée et qui pour autant n’ont pas renoncé à leur individualité au cours du processus d’adaptation. Mais le stigmate attaché à la personne névrosée semble infondé et justifié uniquement si nous pesons névrose en terme d’efficacité sociale. Aussi, pour l’ensemble d’une société « névrosé » ne peut s’appliquer dans ce dernier sens, puisqu’une société ne peut s’appliquer dans ce dernier sens, puisqu’une société ne peut pas exister si ses membres ne fonctionnent pas socialement. D’un point de vue des valeurs humaines, cependant, une société pourrait être qualifiée de névrosée puisque ses membres sont handicapés dans le développement de leur personnalité. Puisque le terme « névrosé » est si souvent utilisé pour désigner une absence de fonctionnement social, nous préférerions ne pas parler d’une société en la qualifiant de névrosée, mais plutôt en la présentant comme hostile au bonheur humain et à l’auto-réalisation.

La peur de la liberté – Erich Fromm

Early marriage is a tradition of our very defensive religious society. It's like a curse to that girl who actually not ready to get married both mentally and physically .

So questions throws to the society How long they have to carry the burden of the early marriage

The world seen through my eyes, was the 'challenge'.

It posed serious questions. How do I see the world?

Despite everything… I still see the world in a positive light (LOL, old, photographer’s joke?), really, I see so much beauty, in Nature, in people, in manmade objects.

And THAT is what I try to capture, each and every day.

here are certainties and fixed values… every day there is a sunrise, every day there is a sunset.

The seasons follow nicely with their different moods and colours. Aah, there it is: THE WORD: COLOURS.

Yes I see the world in technicolour, tie that in with emotion, sometimes humour and we’re all there: my world.

ART by CHANCE…

This was taken from the car as we came back from France, the sun was going down fast above Flanders' fields, it was beautiful, I chanced it...

I do not often use the word art , but this?

I think it is special, the church just sharp, so typically Flanders. It's rapidly becoming a personal favourite!

 

...At 70 miles/hour, there's bound to be something in your shot, or when the fraction in time and space is just perfect, yes, you guessed it, a bump or a pothole, grrr... only another type of frustration? Hihi...

by asking the wrong questions, you get the wrong answers

 

Book / Magic Art Photography / Facebook / Instagram

should i do a 365 thing, guys?

 

i've kindof been thinking about it lately, but i have some reservations. i already have well over 365 pictures of myself, so i'm not sure what i'd need more for, so i'm just thinking about it, and i'd like your opinions, if you have any.

 

i'm not sure i'd have the time to keep up with it, but i'm looking for something to challenge myself with this year. i know taking self-portraits isn't that hard for me, so i'm wondering if there's a way i could make it more interesting.

 

i could do 365 pictures of not-myself, but i'm sure a lot of these will be done in my house when i get home from school/work late at night, so taking pictures of objects around my house might get old. plus, there's usually more options for pictures with people in them.

 

or i could do 365 not-photoshopped pictures, but i <3 photoshop lots and i don't feel like it's that much of a crutch for me (though i assume lots of people might think otherwise). plus the whole bragging about "sooc" is kindof lame, ngl.

 

i could also try to write a small something to go along with each picture.

so i don't know.

 

also, where would i post them? on this flickr, i imagine, but then where would i post pictures that were not-365 related?

 

i know it's generally better to post as little as possible each day and not bombard flickr, but that's difficult enough for me as it is. i could make another flickr for a 365, i guess.

 

so, yeah, what do you guys think (assuming anyone cares)? any ideas to how i could liven up a 365 project? how do you guys approach it, if you do at all? what are your reasons for doing it? do you think it's kindof a boring/generic thing to do? if i were to do one, do you think i should post it here, or make a new, 365-exclusive flickr/tumblr/something else? i would like to know your thoughts on anything, if you wouldn't mind telling me. :]

 

(for the record this picture is a few weeks old, not the beginning of a 365.)

Instead of uploading all the photos I took to make this question, I'll show the finished composite.

 

The letters are from around my campus. I proposed two weeks ago (sorry, it's been a while since I've been on Flickr), and Ginger did say "yes." :)

This shot was made with my 5D. It's interesting to see the differences between it in the film shot below.

the question is who it really belongs to - to the birds or the human owner? .-)

First off, big thank you on another 50 followers! I'll save the mush for 200 followers, 'cuz right now I'm gonna do a Q & A!

 

You know the drill, ask me anything questions that follow community guidelines! :P

 

I've never done one of these before, so I hope you guys will get something interesting out of this. And don't be shy, I'm bored with plenty of time on my hands. :|

  

Ask away!

As a B&B host (not an Air BnB Superhost! no thanks) I get asked many questions: where to go, what to see, what's the weather going to do today, etc? Fortunately, having an interest in photography has helped me in that, as I regularly recce the area to check roads, where deer are, highland coos, etc, and taste the local whisky so that I know!

 

Sometimes I'm powerless to help. When people (French) travel from the south of France to the Scottish Highlands and then decide it's too far to go 25 miles to explore the end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. Or they only bring white trainers and no walking boots with them as if expecting to only walk on city pavements and not across unspoilt and rugged Mother Nature. I despair sometimes with the lack of 'nous' or planning. Of course they also expect to get up late and then set off for a day trip of all of Skye....and haven't even thought to book a ferry in peak season.

 

Some, a few, arrive better prepared, some with teenage kids more interested in staying in the room and playing Call of Duty on the Playstation. To them, I might say, why not go far off the beaten trail out to Glendrian?

 

Your kids can get some lungfulls of pure, fresh highland air, some exercise and some education (why do people come here with big plastic bottles of Highland Spring water bottled from some drain near the Ochil Hills near Glasgow? How could it be more pure than what we have come out of the mountains around here? At least I'm reasonably confident our water hasn't already passed through several other human beings, and only filtered after flowing through the whole sewage system and chemically recycled).

 

Glendrian is an abandoned crofting township in the centre of the Ardnamurchan peninsula centred on grid reference NM480687. It is a Scheduled Monument, Historic Scotland describing it as “of national importance because of its potential to contribute to our understanding of post-medieval settlement and economy. Although only abandoned in the 1940s the settlement incorporates information for the earlier expansion and contraction of the community who lived here. The buildings are varied in date and style and contain evidence for the complex history of settlement on the site.”

 

Glendrian’s lands occupy the eastern half of the low land within the circle of hills formed by the main ring dykes of the Ardnamurchan Tertiary Volcanic Complex. Even in winter, when the vegetation has died back, the buildings are difficult to see.

 

But take your teenagers out there and ask them to imagine it was their home, completely isolated and cut off in the low land where there is total silence within the circle of hills formed by the main ring dykes of the Ardnamurchan Tertiary Volcanic Complex. There's no road to it. No electricity. The running water is in the form of a burn along the bottom of the shallow valley. No shops. And apart from feeding and tending to the animals kids still had to go to school in Kilchoan, six miles over the hills. And they didn't have modern water and windproof clothing to cloth them as they walked to school in winter darkness, and rain, hail and snow. And shock-horror: tell your teenagers they had no phone signal or wifi either!

 

People lived in Glendrian until the 1940's until the convenience of motorised transport links, shops and electricity lured them to living in towns and villages. 80 years on, if they were still alive would they move back, valuing the quality of life in Glendrian: no noise, no traffic, no crowds, no crime, no rape, no knife crime - a peaceful way of life? That's what 'civilisation' should be. Indeed the movement of people to live in towns and cities has heralded the end of civilisation! A visit to Glendrian can teach modern youth, and city and town folk a lot! I scuttled off home before the rain arrived.

Polygonia interrogationis

In everything we do we are challenged with the question of: Is this right? Is this good? Will this be accepted? And in all of those questions, it is easy to be tricked into thinking that the answer is what we are seeking. But I believe what the artist's soul looks for is not an answer to AM I GOOD ENOUGH, but instead a way to break the question entirely.

If I try to answer the fundamental question of "Am I good enough?", inevitably the answer is irrelevant. That the question is asked at all proves that we seek validation to what we create. In an attempt to break myself from that validation, to stop the person inside of me who would silence my more adventurous spirit, I will be creating new works. The question will not be if it is good enough, but instead, is it enough - for me.

This is the caterpillar of the Question Mark butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis). There is a tiny mark on the underside of the butterfly's wing that gives it the unusual name. I photographed this spiky creature at the Butterfly Haven in Pingree, Idaho.

Would ya like to know what kinda conversation goes

On while they're loafin' around that Hall?

They're tryin' out Bevo, tryin' out cubebs,

Tryin' out Tailor Mades like cigarette fiends!

And braggin' all about

How they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen.
