Mysterious things happen at night on the Nature Trail fence posts – here is a St Patricks day photo.

Many years ago in Norse Mythology, during the first signs of spring, the Sun, Sister of the moon, Shone from the south, With her hand Over the rim of heaven sent a signal for the long ships to begin the seafaring season – Yesterday, in TGO the Vikings sent TGO a message to begin the RVfaring season. Thus, I have explained our solor eclipse.

Need I say more?

A single Queen Ann’s Lace – Background darkened & flower lightened – otherwise as shot with Nikon D70 – Tamron 28-300 (110) 1/40 sec, f8, iso 200

It is fun finding my old photos – they show me doing stuff (street photography) – before my involvement in the TGO photo Club:

What are you doing on my Island?

An AI view, from the Nature Trail, of TGO’s controled fire wise burn yesterday. – 22 animals I think?

AND NOW A THOUGHT OF MINE:

Being a photographer offers at least 5 elements of happiness – that is why I recommend photography to all seniors! 1. It helps us study the beauty of the art in what our eyes see (nature, people, & architecture). 2. Post processing gives unlimited opportunity to learn & apply the rules of art that we did not build into our photo when we snapped it. 3. Photography helps us socialize because we have a tangible product we use to trigger discussions with others (not just in person but digitally around the world via all those satellites rocketed up from Kennedy Space Center) 4. The physical demands of a photo shoot can be tailored to match our physical capabilities throughout life – even from a wheel chair if that happens. 5. Finally, if we ever verge on boredom, whip out the digital device and engage for an hour with the nature, people, & architecture of past times – boredom is gone!
