With more modern cameras and computers, since 2013, I now do most all of my photographic and videographic work in Hi-Definition HD - 1080p (pixels). Many of my followers, however, do not have a Hi Speed Internet connections and the images may be pixilated – see also Wikipedia example. Or, rasterised (blurry). There are a few ways of overcoming the problem.

• Once the video slideshow is started, at the bottom right of any YouTube video click on the gear icon and change the quality of the image from HD 1080p (pixels), down to, say 144p, then try increasing it slowly.
• 2. Go to a library, internet cafe or other locaction which has a Wi-Fi site.
• Both the governments of Alberta and British Columbia have made commitments to place Hi Speed Internet through-out their respective provinces; as is the case in most other North American jurisdictions.
  

You may notice that some of my photographic studies and slideshows are quite dim. I prefer taking photographs at dawn, dusk or at night without artificial light; or when it is wet. Hopefully, you will also see something that you have never seen before.

This is the 5^th in a series of my photographic slideshows for 2015 taken in and around Lynn Valley, Lower Lynn and North and West Vancouver, on Vancouver, Canada's North Shore:

An Old Man's Wisdom:  Getting old is number one on my bucket list.

A bucket list is a list of everything that you want to be, do, have, and experience in life.

“Every man dies – Not every man really lives.” ~ William Ross

1. Inspired by Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram's “The Truth about Eating FullyRaw” video (16:02 minutes) ... [https://youtu.be/pSk4S1Nd__A] ... FullyRaw is the creation of Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram, a pioneer in the local, organic food co-operative movement. The founder of the largest raw, organic produce co-operative in the U.S., she has been 100% raw for over nine years. An exemplification of all that she wishes to create, she is a leading visionary in the raw movement, especially in Houston, TX. She attended both Vanderbilt University and Rice University, and she graduated from Rice University on the top 5% of her class in 2009 with a triple major in Kinesiology specializing in Health Science, Raw Foods, and Fasting. Since then, she has been involved highly in the movement of Organic Horticulture, Permaculture, and Co-operative Communities.

4. A predecessor program by the YMCA program to “GOAL Trial Promotional Video (2:40 minutes) Group-based Physical Activity for Older Adults Trial (GOAL) ... The YMCA of Greater Vancouver, in partnership with the UBC School of Kinesiology and the Canadian Institute of Health Research, is conducting a study on older adult adherence to exercise. ... Regular physical activity is associated with a diverse range of positive physical and mental health outcomes, with the effects being particularly pronounced among older adults over the age of 65. Despite these health benefits, involvement in physical activity has been found to decline over the course of adulthood. ... With estimates suggesting that approximately 50 percent of older adults drop out or abandon physical activity programs within six months of enrolment, there is a tremendous need for sustainable interventions to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In particular, people are more likely to keep their involvement in physical activity programs if they are provided with the opportunity to exercise with others in social or group-based settings as opposed to undertaking physical activity on their own. Who can participate? Men and women over the age of 65.” About the YMCA of Greater Vancouver - The YMCA is a powerful association of men, women and children of all ages and abilities joined together by a shared commitment: to strengthen community. We accomplish this goal by helping vulnerable children and families, promoting healthy living and reducing isolation. In 2014 alone, the YMCA helped more than 115,000 children, youth, adults, families and seniors become stronger through life-enhancing programs and services. The YMCA of Greater Vancouver has been serving the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Sunshine Coast for 129 years and currently offers programs at 185 locations.

Many of my photographs are taken at dawn, dusk and/or at night without a flash or other artificial light source. This is the reason they may appear darker than many other photographer's work. Also, increasingly I take closeups (some photographers call them Macro photography, a type of close-up photography ) in order to bring you more detail. I do this in order to show you things you might not see in the usual snapshot. There are, usually, unedited, higher contrasts in the shades of my work. Sometimes, I also do telephoto work.
A note of caution with Begonias: If you decide to grow Begonias outside, they prefer a place that is bright; but never in direct sunlight. Both the blooms and leaves can get easily sun-burnt very easily. Like pansies, roses, and other domesticated species they require a lot of daily maintenance, deadheading (flowers), the pruning of dead flower heads to remove dead leaves and matured flowers. This is to open the plant to the light and so that other fresh flowers will grow in to replace them.
Online Images of Begonias

Following is from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia

"Begoniaceae. The genus contains more than 1,600 different plant species. The Begonias are native to moist subtropical and tropical climates. Some species are commonly grown indoors as ornamental houseplants in cooler climates. In cooler climates some species are cultivated outside in summertime for their bright colourful flowers, which have sepals but no petals. Description
With more than 1,600 species, Begonia is the sixth-largest angiosperm genus.[1] The species are terrestrial (sometimes epiphytic) herbs or undershrubs, and occur in subtropical and tropical moist climates, in South and Central America, Africa, and southern Asia. Terrestrial species in the wild are commonly upright-stemmed, rhizomatous, or tuberous. The plants are monoecious, with unisexual male and female flowers occurring separately on the same plant; the male contains numerous stamens, and the female has a large inferior ovary and two to four branched or twisted stigmas. In most species, the fruit is a winged capsule containing numerous minute seeds, although baccate fruits are also known. The leaves, which are often large and variously marked or variegated, are usually asymmetric (unequal-sided).

Taxonomy

The genus name Begonia, coined by Charles Plumier, a French patron of botany, and adopted by Linnaeus in 1753, honors Michel Bégon, a former governor of the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti).

On my personal blog/website: Passion Flowers at Dusk

You will notice that some of the photographs in this photo study are quite dim. It was getting dark and I was hoping to catch some of the night pollinators: ants, bats, moths etc. and I did not want bright light to scare them away.

With more modern cameras and computers, since 2013, I now do most all of my photographic and videographic work in Hi-Definition HD - 1080p. Many of my followers, however, do not have a Hi Speed Internet connections and the images may be pixilated – see also Wikipedia example. Or, rasterised (blurry).

• Both the governments of Alberta and British Columbia have made commitments to place Hi Speed Internet throught-out their respective provinces; as is the case in most other North American jurisdictions.

The History of the Passion Flower

The Passion Flower is found throughout many areas of the Southeastern United States where it often grows in large masses in ditches and open fields where it is sometimes referred to as a common roadside weed. Passiflora incarnata derived the early common name of Maypop from the way it just seems to 'pop' out of the ground in May.
Maypops were eventually renamed as the Passion Flower by missionaries in the early 1500s.
The missionaries believed (or professed) that several parts of the plant, including the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the crucifixion of Christ.

Passion Flower - Image Results

Regardless of what you choose to call the Passiflora incarnata vine, these 3 inch diameter flowers are very unique and beautiful. They begin blooming in July and continue until frost. The vines can easily grow up to 15 feet in a season. In cultivation, they are grown on a fence or trellis, or simply allow it to scramble harmlessly over your other shrubs and trees.

Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as maypop, purple passionflower, true passionflower, wild apricot, and wild passion vine, is a fast-growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems. A member of the passionflower genus Passiflora, the maypop has large, intricate flowers with prominent styles and stamens. One of the hardiest species of passionflower, it is a common wildflower in the southern United States. The Cherokee in the Tennessee area called it ocoee; the Ocoee River and valley are named after this plant, which is the Tennessee State Wildflower. This, and other passionflowers are the exclusive larval host plants for the Gulf Fritillary and non-exclusive for the Variegated Fritillary butterflies.

In cooking, the fruit of this variety is sometimes used for jam and jellies or as a substitute for its commercially grown South American relative Passiflora edulis – the fruit is of comparable size and juice yield, hence chilled maypop juice is a delicious treat in hot summer weather. The fruit can be eaten out of hand and historically it was a favorite of colonial settlers of the South and Native Americans alike. Today it is a very common plant growing in gardens in the American Southeast and parts of the Mid-Atlantic for this purpose as well as its showy violet flowers, [http://triblive.com/lifestyles/jessicawalliser/7910056-74/vines-fruits-hardy#axzz3UodI5qsV] and still is a favorite of Cajuns, as evidenced by their name for the plant: liane de grenade, or "pomegranate vine".

An Old Man's Wisdom: "Don't sign up to be stalked on the Internet, by paparazzi, 'fan' magzines, tabloids newspapers and Internet trolls. It must be love."

PS: I received the following in an email from one of my sister-in-laws, and I thank Ev, and pass it on for you to Enjoy!

This is very beautiful.  I am honored to have received it and send it to you. 

At birth, we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side.  However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.

As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.  Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.  Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats.

The train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.  Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is - we do not know at which station we ourselves will step down.  So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.  It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty, we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life.  Reap success and give lots of love.  More importantly, thank God for the journey. 

Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

 Rhododendron - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (from Ancient Greek ῥόδον rhódon "rose" and δένδρον déndron "tree")[3][4] is a genus of 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family (Ericaceae), either evergreen or deciduous, and found mainly in Asia, although it is also widespread throughout the Southern Highlands of the Appalachian Mountains of North America. It is the national flower of Nepal. Most species have showy flowers. Azaleas make up two subgenera of Rhododendron. They are distinguished from "true" rhododendrons by having only five anthers [Stamen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] per flower Anthers - Image Results.

Bol Kites

As some of you may know last June, 2014, 1^st Annual Victoria Kite Festival at Clover Point, The 2^nd Annual festival was on May 29 – 31 - 2015. One of the events at the festival was the children’s bol kite races. See link for a short video of the prior year's Bol Kite Races [http://youtu.be/2PusAZkjuOo]. For the 2015 event kite maker, Mario De Lucca worked on making a set of these bol kites for the Club to use at its various festivals. He requested help by anyone willing to share in the making of them, or by donating some material. Each bol has 48 panels and takes approximately 3.5 yards of material of any colour.
I took this video in 2012 on my older, slower and less 'dense' 480p Sony Video Camera.
