This playground vehicle was so colorful I had to take the photo.

What a wonderful time I had on Friday!
I had the opportunity to visit this awesome field day.
I watched the STIHL TimberAces
They for sure knew what to do with an ax!
Then there was the
National Excavator Championships
Also very impressive!
Digging against the clock
Digging…
Digging…
Digging…
Give way and start digging
Measure!
Hugh machinery!
Some water works!
It was a very hot day and I was dog tired when I arrived home after a two hours drive back!
Cicadas : Inspire me Monday
Cicadas are busy in all their glory.
Making their shrill noises day and night!
They do not sit and wait for me to take a photo!
They keep on moving on and also fly away if you get to near them!
Story: Cicadas
The hot days and balmy nights of summer wouldn’t be the same without the chirruping of cicadas. It’s the males that make all that noise – they are often visible on lamp posts and tree trunks. But they have actually spent most of their lives in the dark, deep underground.

OBJECT
While doing my photography course I used a variety of
OBJECTS
Here are some of them.

Bottle of wine given to each grade 7 student in Primary School.
Our domestic help did this traditional beading.
She covered a glass milk bottle(think half a pint bottle)
She made one for each of my sisters and me.
Wooden cruncher from Zimbabwe.
Just another lovely object.

the sky!
When the cold wind are calling And the sky is clear and bright, Misty mountains sing and beckon, Lead me out into the light… I will ride, I will fly, Chase the wind and touch the sky, I will fly, Chase the wind and touch the sky…

Nothing but the truth : The one you feed will win!
This is true

Which Wolf Are You Feeding?
There’s a Native American tale about an old man who was telling his grandson a story about two
wolves. The old man said, “There’s a fight between two wolves. One is an evil wolf, filled with
anger, resentment, greed, sadness, rage, envy, pride, ego, vanity, and superiority. The other is a
good wolf, filled with peace, light, kindness, generosity, love, compassion, humility, benevolence,
grace, hope, compassion, and faith.”
“Which of the wolves will win the fight, grandfather?” asked the boy.
The old man paused, considering the boy, then said, “Whichever one you feed.”ChangeThis | 112.05
If you focus your attention on negative things like comparing yourself to others, wondering why
you don’t have the success you think you deserve, and envying the success of others, then
you’re feeding the evil wolf and that wolf will win the fight. If, however, you focus your attention
on positive things like helping others, bringing value to others through your business, making
the world a better place, improving your productivity so you can do more, expanding your
expertise so you can make a bigger difference, and taking care of yourself and the ones you
love, then you’re feeding the good wolf, and that wolf will win.
Feed the good wolf.
Comparing yourself to other people is always a losing game
… Where you stand relative to other people isn’t nearly as
important as where you stand relative to where you could be
standing if you realized your full potential.
Simply the best… Daily prompt
When and where do you do your best thinking? In the bathroom? While running? Just before bed, or first thing in the morning? On the bus? Why do you think that is?
Best thinking is when I take Trompie for his walk early in the morning
Also when I can’t fall asleep at night I’ll keep on thinking about what or what not to do!
Then also when I wake up early in the morning I can’t go back to sleep because my brain is working over time.
Reason?
I have a very creative brain when it comes to the push. Bad side of this thinking is that I usually have so many bright ideas, at the end I do not know what to use or what I really need to take as …SIMPLY THE BEST!
Just a spot of sunshine!
