Deviation Actions
Hey! Lets make this the year that we actually speak our minds about the positive changes we DO want to see in the world.
2014 sure gave us plenty of ideas about what we DON'T want to see happening in this world of ours, but I don't think many of us have devoted time to thinking about what changes would actually help our communities... If we don't try putting ideas out where people in charge can see and hear them, they sure as heck are not going to change...
It's kind of like a cafeteria line in elementary schools... If you don't want them to keep serving the "Chuck Wagon Special" (leftover mystery meat with pasta, covered up with tomato sauce) then somebody has to say that making Quiche could use up the leftovers too, and taste a lot better. Just a thought... but I think we have to ask for what we want more than complaining about what we get.

Another Year Rolled By
Hi... I haven't been posting or commenting much lately, but I do check in from time to time and I do keep an eye on everybody's work... even when you don't hear from me. :) Life has been keeping me busy in general. I've been taking Asian Brush-Painting lessons and learning a little Rosemaling in addition to the photography, and I'm hoping to learn a lot more about digital video editing in this next year. Hope this next year is better for everyone and that your holidays have been happy. :hug:
Hummingbird Colors
Three pictures of the hummingbird who currently guards my back yard. He is a fierce little warrior, and takes his title as Chief of the Yard very seriously.

Surreal post-Sandy photos in the LA Times
The LA times collected a remarkable set of post-Sandy photos from various sources. Very eerie, especially if you have been to any of the places in the photos. http://framework.latimes.com/2012/10/29/hurricane-sandy/
So far most of my friends seem to be OK... I hope the cleanup brings out the best in people, and that the rebuilding will be rapid, and that people will pull together and put aside political divisions in the interest of renewing the vitality of these devastated communities.
Say it isn't so! Tall ship HMS Bounty (update)
Among the other bits of misery, devastation and havoc that Hurricane Sandy has been wreaking... evidently the beautiful tall ship replica, the HMS Bounty had to be abandoned off North Carolina. The latest from the Bounty's website said that 14 of the 16 people on board were rescued, one was recovered from the water, unresponsive, and the captain is still missing http://www.tallshipbounty.org/index.php
Here is a news story about the gal who did not survive. http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_21890439/search-hms-bounty-captain-continues-friends-mourn-death They are continuing the search for the captain, and keeping their hopes up.
