When we were young, Faustino was a panel beater. At around 18 years old we intended to change the world. …It did not exactly happen that way. He closed his shop and started climbing mountains. All mountains he could climb, and there was no mountain he could not.
Today he builds his world among trees, animals, and fairy tales. He does not possess land or houses, but he created 7 schools for more than a thousand children in Nepal. He tells fairy tales to children, combining magic from both reality and dreams.
Today Faustino is a mountain. His fairy tale is as long as his trip, endlessly looking for freedom, freedom for him as well as for the others. I can hear him saying that the former cannot exist without the latter.
Pulled into the rest area off I-84 in Idaho, near the Idaho Utah state line. This lone Raven was in the empty parking spot next to my truck, so I grabbed my a6000 because it had my 24-240 lens already on it, and it's the longest lens I have. Anyway, took a few pictures while it was on the ground, then got out of my truck and of course he flew off, I took some pictures in flight, but nothing very good. Fortunately he landed on top of a nearby tree and was quite content to let me take pictures from the ground. I wasn't ready when he flew off, I was too close and all the way zoomed out, so by the time I got him in the frame, well nothing good at that distance.
Four minutes before the sun disappeared below the horizon behind me, the light was dropping quickly. Owen Conservation Park, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, January 8, 2025, 4:37 PM.
When I spotted some glorious crepuscular rays beaming through the evening sky I didn't need a seconds thought in going out to shoot them and with countless fields full of of hay bales around at the moment I decided to pop along to no mans lane and capture a composition to include everything...
Managed to capture the Piebald Pigeon in Flight as it took off when a car drove by.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.

Serendipity is when you unexpectedly stumble across something good. And that is what happened yesterday when I was out walking on the moors with a friend and a Short-eared Owl popped up in front of us. Short-eared Owls usually breed on the Peak District Moors so I often see them in summer but they are pretty thin on the ground in winter. Most Short-eared Owls leave the higher ground to spend the winter in lowlands, especially around estuarine saltmarshes. Though the BTO Bird Atlas says that birds in the Uists, Orkneys and the Pennines appear to winter close to their breeding grounds, yet I rarely see them in winter. There was a bit of snow on the ground yesterday but not enough to hamper its hunting. We watched it for about five minutes, and it did appear to catch and eat something, then it slowly headed south and out of sight. I did manage some closer shots but I quite liked this one showing the winter moorland habitat.

When an elephant moves in close to your boat, there is not much for you to focus on... This elephants trunk just broke the surface of the water, to take a breath, when I took this...
"When we look back into our lives we see that our life is but a collection, a collage of these moments which take the shape of images, images which lower our spirits, images which inspire, images which help us remember the people that have come along our way, touched us and silently left, images that go on to become memories and leave a lasting impression as long as we are here, as long as we are here to be.'

Sill busy too busy to go shoot. This is from my transfer project. I think from May of 1997, taken at Des Moines Water Works Park.

Took a 4+ hour drive down to Death Valley just to get to Bad Waters. Super pumped about all the awesome shots I got!
Photos from the Mysteriums Masked Mansion Mardi Gras Parade 2017. Lighting was not ideal for these sadly as it was in a sky box but first attempt at a group event with lots of avatars around.
When the world starts to toss and turn, just hang on!
This little gal is hanging on for her life as the grasses around her heave and sway on this very windy day!
I thought I'd put this cutie up to conteract the gruesomeness of the previous photo. Is it working? Have you forgotten all about the poor wasp and the evil spider?
Happy New Year's Day everyone!
My first photo of 2018 was just about to be of a huge and bright rainbow over the nice view where I live, but it sadly disappeared when I ran out with my camera : / So I'll upload this one from two years ago instead - also from where I live. We tried to photograph the fireworks far away (there are almost none where we live), and suddenly realized that the northern lights were there.
Last night we celebrated at my sister's place, with a fantastic view over the towns of Sandnes and Stavanger. It was amazing watching the huge amounts of fireworks in all directions. But of course it rained too much to bring the camera : /
My album of New Year images here.

I sat in my car and looked at the little gift shop. This was the first time in all the years that I have been coming here, that I have seen it open. Of course, I usually stop here in the middle of the night, so it's no wonder. I thought, I really don't need to buy anything, and I almost pulled out of the lot... and then that old familiar tug at my heart saying, "go in... there might be something wonderful in there!" So, I listened to my heart. When I walked through the door, directly in front of me, one of the first thing I noticed, was photographs, beautiful matted photographs. They reeled me in because I always need to see what other people see... do they see things the way that I do.... what do they see that I am missing? The beautiful photos seemed familiar to me... like I had seen them before. I looked at the signature. I knew that name! I smiled. This person that I "knew" from my Flickr pages, had her photos for sale, in my favorite place! How fabulous! When I left the little gift shop... I pulled out my phone and left a quick comment on her Flickr page. To my surprise, I quickly had a response to my comment telling me that she lived right around the corner and asking how could she get in touch with me? Being technologically challenged, I couldn't figure out a way to Flickr mail her my phone number, so I just threw it out there on her page and within minutes we were in contact and a few minutes later we had plans! Dinner and a night sky shoot... in my very favorite place! What could possibly be better?!!
For my birthday weekend... I followed my heart to a place that I love, to do what I love to do. And there... the Universe gave me a wonderful birthday gift... a new friend, with whom I spent a perfect evening.... eating pizza, shooting the sunset, talking about things we love, shooting the night sky and making new plans. And I know we will do it again!! Thank you, Universe!! Thank you Joan for a really fun night! ♥
Oh....and one last fun thought.... remember synchronicities?... those fun little unexplainable coincidences? Earlier this day I walked along the edge of a beach, not the water edge, but near wooded edge... and I happened to notice a little path through the woods... I wondered where it led. Later, I found that.... it leads to Joan's house! We are all connected in ways... sometimes by words on a Flickr page.... sometimes by paths in places you've never been. How cool is that....? : )
Follow your heart.... ♥
My new and very talented friend, Joan ... go say hi!

Two Drokpa girls playing at the window with the cle. In a remote village like Dah-Hanu, kids don't have really much of choice relating to toys. Dah - Hanu are very small villages of Drokpa people in Ladakh region of north India located not far from the Indo- Pakistan border.
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Last year, at the beginning of May we have taken a drive to Beaverhills Natural Area. The road was calling us for the sun was shining, the skies were amazing and the world awakened from winter slumber. Such a pleasure to visit again, even if it is only in pictures ;D

A young man looks up to the engine driver of wd 90733, perhaps asking how he may one day be an engine driver.
Watercolor on !/4 sheet Arches watercolor paper. I started this painting FOREVER ago and just couldn't finish it. It's that I don't like alizarin crimson.
When I get down in the dumps I grab Fank and give him a big hug. That always cheers me up. He wags not just his tail but his whole body. I just hope I can be the kind of person he thinks I am.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS !!
