Given to my wife by CTA upon her retirement from teaching high school (...God Bless her) over 40 years. I would have lasted maybe a week. Submittal for the Macro Monday's 3/29/21 theme of "Award"

Another work by Josef Rikus. Originally this reclinig sculpture from 1969 was called "Meditation in Stone". The public, however, preferred the name "The Sleeping Teacher" as it is placed at the entrance of a school. Incidentally, I went to this school three times: my first year in 1967, then again in 1971/72 and as a teacher in 2007/2008.

Named for the oven-shaped nests that these handsome birds make on the ground, the Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) is an interesting character. Indeed, in the warbler world, it would likely be the life of any party. The other warblers would be asking it to show off that peculiar way it moves about...walking like a human instead of hopping like a bird. "You're so weird," they'd exclaim in their chirpish voices (but they'd be secretly delighted).
Why all the walking?--likely because they spend most of their time on the ground! Ovenbirds also have unmistakable calls. These are vocalizations that increase in intensity and have been written as "teacher-teacher-TEAcher-TEAcher-TEACHER!"

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

This cake was created for a couple of teachers who were celebrating their birthdays. It's an 8" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Decorations were done in fondant. The large apple is fondant covered styrofoam.
A friend's mum is retiring from being a school teacher and she asked me to make a cake to celebrate.
Accessories are made from modelling paste (apple & pencil) and gumpaste (ruler).

“Teachers told me when I was younger, I would go nowhere in life, staring out a window all day long. They were so wrong.” - Jim Zwizda.
This time last year, we were heavily into planning a long road trip west. We spent a lot of time determining what and who to visit, knowing there were places and people we would have to skip over. Trying to find a happy balance meant a few shots I had to take out the front and side windows of the car instead of stopping to take out the tripod. This is one of those images from the car.
Today is a rainy day, so I am catching up on these road trip images and I can finally make a tabletop book of our trip. I like to keep a few in an album on Flickr because I can bring my IPad to places to show people on occasion when they ask questions about places we have been. Even when I sometimes do supply work at school, I have shown a few images from Flickr through my phone. Bear with me as I upload a couple in the next few days to complete my album on Alberta. I want to catch up before our next road trip. :). Please do not feel obligated to commenting on all of the them. I do appreciate all the comments from past posts. Life can get busy now that the seasons are changing. Enjoy it!

Three middle school teachers jump into ice cold water during the Penguin Plunge held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olmypics and is sponsered by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000!
