As I walked out one evening

As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.
When I'm not at Grassi Lakes, you can find me on Twitter
Had to go back for another visit as who knows whether Colin will make it back this year. He is getting on for a Cuckoo.
As you can probably tell I love these birds.
Thank you to all that take the time to comment and/or fav it is much appreciated.
As I watch the sky suddenly the cry for help of mercy that the rock makes me before the imminent force of the sea churning in aggressive waves swallowing everything in its path ... there I was looking at the sky and looking at the anguish of the poor rock.
Mientras observo el cielo, de repente el grito de socorro,, de auxilio de clemencia que la roca me hace ante la inminente fuerza del mar agitándose en agresivas olas, tragándose todo a su paso ... allí estaba yo mirando al cielo y mirando la angustia de la pobre roca.
as title says, i am still with inani...:)
i feel like posting all the pictures from there.haha
thank you for viewing/commenting/faving it.
As you drive through small towns, you might see a neglected, abandoned old home like this one. Maybe you wonder who once lived there and what became of them. How many children played in the yard and did they return to visit “the folks”? Is there a favorite dog buried under the tree? Then you get back on the highway and the old place is forgotten. Again.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated

As I was walking down the sidewalk, I couldn't believe how red this day lily was and felt compelled to take its picture. I promise you, I didn't saturate the colours.
Thank you for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

As you can see, this multi-tenant birdhouse appears to need a bit of renovation work. I can understand how the wood could deteriorate due to age, but I am wondering how the metal railings could have gotten bent this way. The house is mounted at the top of a pole in a local park and is probably 12-15 feet off the ground.

As the light of the setting sun turned the grass around the heathland pool golden, the toads continued to make their amorous calls - which I'm certain would have continued well into the night. Spawning only just under-way, they had much to occupy their time ... ;-)
The Pitstone Windmill as dusk falls with the mysterious and ancient Ivinghoe Beacon. This is where the historic Ridgeway Path, starts its journey.
The windmill has stood here since 1627 and it closed in 1894 after it was badly damaged in a storm. It was restored by a group of enthusiast`s and is now full operational and open to the public.
The Ridgeway path follows the high ground across the Chilterns for 87miles and ends at Avebury [ famous for its standing stones ] in Wiltshire. The path has been in use since the Neolithic period by early man as it was safer to travel across the hills than down in the valleys because of the impenetrable forests and danger of attack by wild animals. It has been used from medieval times right up to the 50s by travelling tradesmen [ journeymen ] and travelling sales men [peddlers] carrying their goods to the various markets in the many villages that it passes through. Its a haven for wildlife including butterflies as well as the flowers that grow on the rich chalk grassland and it was originally part of a deep lagoon off the coast of west Africa before the tutonic plates shifted millions of years ago.
There are many megalithic features on the Ridgeway including Bronze age Long Barrows { Graves } Iron age Hill Forts and Standing Stones.
An amazing place, I have walked sections of it. I hope to walk it in its entirety next year as long as my legs, and me can hold out that long!!!
Do hope you will like my pic and give us a quick Fave if you do! Its what your index fingers for....... mostly!!!!
Have a good week ahead!
Pat.

As the weather turns warmer, the troop decided to do a seafood grill out on the water. Perhaps not surprising, I decided to tease Adi with my freshly caught lobsters. Andie, on the other hand, was well impressed by Pengu's wet slippery thing in his hands.
Pengy decided here to be the chef o'day - watching over the paella on the grill.

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Panorama of Kirkjufell and surrounding mountains on Snaefellsnes peninsula during the late Spring eveing hours.
As the fog rolls through the morning - the Bison don't seem to be bothered as they munch on the grasses. Despite recent defensive attacks on people in the park they live a peaceful and slow-moving life on the fields.

AS always, thank you for your visits and kind comments dear friends. Have a peaceful weekend 🌺
Taken from the dock at Tofino, BC. On the gorgeous BC west coast.
As seen on a walk in Perthshire in July 1977 on holiday. The best I could get out of a slide I took all that time ago.
As the Vulture flew off folks so do the Hawk, but as I watched him go, all he did was feel safe enough to make a small circle and return to the same perch, just lucky I did not move and hung in there.
Thank you all.

Minimalist photography
is a form of photography that is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity. It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process. Minimalist photographers usually focus solely on one particular subject, rather than an abundance of color, patterns and information. ( wikipedia )
I love learning new stuff in photography, and some techniques requires allot of time to learn and understand..... witch I have a hard time to do . This is minimal as can be ( I think)
As the waves crash against the rocks behind her, she plays on, letting the salty mist from the sea splash against her windswept hair. The music of her violin blends with the sound of the sea, creating a breathtaking symphony of nature.
