I admit I have never been sufficiently aware of my surroundings, but after I started to take photos and share them here on flickr a couple of years ago, this has changed somewhat. Whether I have my camera with me or not I nowadays often think in pictures and look for subjects or motifs around me. But I'm still a beginner in this context.
My partner recently installed this ball as a Christmas decoration in our flat. It is a crochet ball that is stiffened up like a globe and it is handcrafted by a lady who is over 90 years old. A small chain of led lights was placed inside it. My better half took a photo with her phone and I saw that her photo got a hint of blue, even though the ball is crocheted with white thread. I got my camera, dimmed the living room lighting and took 6 pictures with a 100mm lens and automatic WB. For each image I decreased the level of exposure and this led to a more and more deep blue color in the image. This picture was the last photo I took and it almost seems as if a blue globe is hovering above the smooth surface. If it hadn't been for my partner it would never have occurred to me to take this photo, I think, but I hope I still can get better at seeing the beauty that surrounds us.

I admit I love this kind of pose. Tidda doesn't hold still for long, though, so I had to throw myself into the sand and be very quick to get this shot.
Chocolate Donuts OK I admit it, I am addicted to them, so there now ya know! Found in North Carolina.
I reedited this shot with topaz impression, I love the movement of the flowers and I have to admit I Love tulips
Ok, I admit it. I loved the first Heaven. And then I changed windlight and then, Oh dear. I took more pictures and fell in love with this one! Now I don't know which I like. Let me know your choice of you can.

I must admit to a bit of a fixation over all things clock-related. Large grandfather clocks, petite watches, doesn't matter. This is an old pocket watch with its insides on display. How beautiful those mechanisms are! And how sad that we aren't using these gorgeous timepieces in our every day lives any longer.

I admit to adding the apostrophe to the name of this establishment, without it the name is meaningless; yes, I know I'm a pedant, but I grew up in a time when language meant something. Anyhow, Caesars Palace is one of the most prestigious casino hotels in the world and one of Las Vegas' largest and best known landmarks, according to Wikipedia.
I admit to having some anxiety about the US elections. There’s a lot at stake, and many people have lost confidence in the process.
I admit I got on the MRL bandwagon too with the end nearing as the BNSF takes back the railroad. I just got back from a 6 day trip with mix results.
The prize job for the trip was this Laurel to Bozeman turn local. The local featured one of the last remaining SD45's in service on the MRL. On Monday the 9th, the unit would go to the shop in Livingston for 92 days inspection. With a 16:00 call time at Laurel, the chase was on this beautiful Friday evening as many chased the job across the 2nd Sub towards Bozeman and the setting sun. Here the job passes the small town at Reed Point.
I admit it - I am hooked on burrowing owls. They are so adorable and readily provide endless opportunities for fun images. This youngster is standing in front of a palm tree and has a curious look about it, no doubt trying to figure out what its next move is. This one also has the darker eyes - there were both types in this brood.
Thanks so much for your views and comments - they are greatly appreciated!

I must admit I would far rather take a good, natural portrait shot rather than a landscape. Make no mistake I love the outdoors and walking with Darcy and other, less furry, friends. But I always think it's the other types of shots which can be more challenging, and rewarding.
It's been brought to my attention that Flickr have put together some galleries, including the 'Top Photos from the UK in 2019', www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries. I'm very flattered to be included in the gallery of a Top-15 with some of my less furry friends. These were apparently selected with an engagement algorithm and then curation from Flickr staff. So the number of 'comments' obviously contributed to them being picked.
Now, I know I'm not very good at acknowledging all comments, so now would seem an apt time to apologise to those who regularly comment and to apologise for being such a shit at acknowledging and replying to them. But I really do appreciate them all. Thank you. Flickr has been life changing for me by giving me some really good friends.
And while we are about it, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Ok i admit - i had to bribe the squirrels to cooperate for the photo shoot but they were very willing models once they saw what was in it for them.
I missed one shot - because it startled us - as we were feeding one of the squirrels a hawk dropped down out of the sky and tried unsuccessfully to pinch my model - fortunately the squirrel was paying attention and dashed out of reach in the nick of time. What a life!
Must admit, I took a break from Flickr for a couple of days.
But anyways, this is the Wheel of Brisbane. Taken early in the morning, so that the lights were still on, which I think adds a bit more interest to the otherwise dark scene.
Thanks so much for all your faves and comments guys, really appreciate them! Have a great day!
I gotta admit it..
I've done it .. mainly to escape studying hehe ... but it was only a reason to discover how immersive a book can be ..
so it was just a beginning that led to the discovery of the amazing world of imagination .. it's fantasy world ,yet, full of feelings :D
So, for everyone who ever escaped inside a book .. keep reading and dreaming :-)
Here I am doing it again as daddy takes a picture of me xD
have to admit it is beautiful -grins-
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mm-mm-mm-di-di-di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I admit there are all kinds of collectors out there. Some people collect stamps, or shells, or baseball cards or artwork, but this is a new one on me. You can’t see the extent of it but there must be fifteen or more telephone poles stacked in this yard. As collections go ... well I can’t see where one pole is any different from another. And...how does one collect telephone poles anyway? It’s not like you can just pick them up off the side of the road.
I think the most difficult part of this hobby would be finding the poles. I’ve never seen a telephone pole just lying along the road, have you? “Hey Earl, is that a telephone pole off the Interstate 202 ramp? Jump on out of the truck and check. Oh a log? Darn that’s 17 false alarms today! How about that one that is really leaning. Give it a push Earl and see if it falls!”
What a nightmare! Then you have to bungee them on top of your car. “Hey Earl call up 6 or 7 guys to help hoist this pole on top of the car. What do you mean they are ALL busy?”
For those of you who were asking, this is the front of the house with the 1980’s Oldsmobile in the yard. This house is located off a rural road in Richmond County, Virginia.
I must admit that this has been a complicated picture for me, perhaps a challenge, because the original photo is really bland and insipid, without any contrast, low color and not too nice scenery. Only the Cathedral stands out from the rest. Absolutely white sky and a light mist, turned this photography into one of these that we usually leave it in the file without any pretensions.
But I like challenges and I decided to try to bring to light all that the image contains but it does not show at first.
This Colegiata- Basilica manresana, was built between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries but has had several additions and reconstructions and turned it into a mixture of styles.
Manresa is in a great plain, so this iconic building is visible from many kilometers. It is the backside, but I think it is enough to get an idea of its grandeur and elegance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debo reconocer que esta ha sido una foto complicada para mi, quizá un desafío, pues la foto original es realmente anodina e insulsa, sin contraste alguno, poco color y un paisaje no excesivamente bonito. Solo la Seo (catedral) destaca del resto. El cielo absolutamente blanco y una ligera neblina terminaban por convertir la fotografía en una de estas que acostumbramos a dejarla en el archivo sin más pretensiones.
Pero me gustan los retos y decidí intentar sacar a la luz todo lo que la imagen contiene pero que no muestra en un principio.
Esta Colegiata- Basílica manresana, fue construida entre los siglos XII y XIII pero tuvo diversos añadidos y reconstrucciones que la convirtieron en una mezcla de estilos.
Manresa está en una gran llanura, por lo que esta iconica construcción es visible desde muchos kilómetros. Es la parte trasera, pero creo que es suficiente para tener una idea de su grandiosidad y elegancia.
Okay, I admit. I'm in love ... with this Latex Chained Dress from Fanarry's Latex Shop! Cool, sexy and so so shiny. The dress is modifiable, so change the colour and sheen to your liking. Also includes a bodylight for the perfect shine. Available on the MP here:

I must admit that I'm starting to get a bit worried lately that some of these AI faces are starting to look a bit like Second Life, which I dislike very much.
The above face uses 3 different parts of some DDG text-to-image renditions I did. The trees are a photo of mine, and I've used a fractal texture.
I admit that there are quite a lot of quirky things to find in my garden although some are very well hidden. The eyes peeking out from amongst the violas belong to a meerkat figurine which in the last few weeks has been overgrown by leaves and flowers. He can still see something, so everything should be okay.:)
Ok, I admit, I am a bit addicted to this dreamy Winter landscape. Back to the dreamscape, where cool hues and light create a fantasy view on the marsh. A while back, I relegated this shot to the dust bin. However, over time, I seem to favor this shot as much if not more than the original Dreamscape. What are your thoughts on this version compared to the earlier Dreamscape?
The eighth photo from the "Watercolor" series.
★ Hair: Tram - I1126b hair / HUD-A
★ Head: LeLutka – Nova, part of the Evolution Line. I have to admit I tried the demo at least three times on different days, but at the end I got it. I will have to play with it more and more, maybe I will fall in love with this brand new head at the end.
★ Body: Maitreya - Lara
★ Skin: Glam Affair – Anoki 009 D, new group gift BOM only. I usually wear 011 but decided to try 009 with Nova.
★ Lingerie: Moon Elixir – Doll Face, I got it last Friday for FLF. Love it!
★ Pose: FOXCITY – Lost 03.

I admit, I am in the dumps when it comes to photography. All December long, I have been stuck at home (forced "vacation"), but try as I might, I just can't get inspired. Day after day, I keep finding excuses not to go out. It's COVID, it's the weather, it's “I have shot everything worth shooting within an hour’s drive!”.
I forced myself today to go find something new (within an hour’s drive), and this is the best I could come up with. Yeah, not great -- but at least it is new, to me.
I staggered down the rocks toward the water’s edge, wincing and grimacing along the way, my right knee having gone bad on me 7 weeks ago, and me, the stupid old me, having overpacked (as usual - two cameras, three brick-like lenses and a tripod).
Life is a beach, a rocky one!
I wish the sea was more furious — I wish it knocked me back against the rocks and left me bleeding (like that time a rogue wave threw me at Kauai’s jagged shore and almost swept me away, a sacrifice to the Pacific). Instead...
The Atlantic splashed gently over Cape Ann's face, while a storm raged within me.
[A blend of four 30 second exposures, so technically equivalent to a 2 minute exposure.]
I will admit that I have a tendency toward SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) this time of year. One of the reasons that I live where I do is that there are only a few days a year when I am stuck in the house with gloomy weather outside. Usually I can escape from my mountain perch at 7,000 feet to the warmer climes of south Canyonlands or if there is a temperature inversion in the canyons and valleys, I can stay put and enjoy the relative warmth or head to Canyon Rims. When the opposite occurs in summer, the temps at home can be as much as 20 degrees cooler than the Moab valley and other desert haunts.

Must admit to having forgotten to post the two remaining shots from Bosham harbour, i`ll post the last in a few days.
Wet knee photography works in this image as the tide flooded past my tripod, a longish open shutter of 15 seconds at ISO 50 and the little stopper worked well to capture the debris floating past.
Must admit I was hoping for a more colourful sunset but sometimes you have to just take what you are given! At least there was some colour in the sky.

Bruges, such a beautiful city. I admit I rarely went to it, although it's not that far from my home. The reason is, I'm not such a big fan of medieval architecture, I prefer modernism. How could I be so wrong. I managed to make some incredible long exposure shots, definitely will go again.
Admit it.
You're not like the others, and that's not just okay, it's fucking beautiful.

I must admit it was sheer bliss to take a photo standing up and give my knees a rest lol....
Garlic mustard, also known as 'Jack-by-the-hedge', likes shady places, such as the edges of woods and hedgerows. It can grow to over a metre tall and has small white flowers that appear from April. It is a biennial plant, so takes two years to complete its lifecycle. It grows young leaves in its first season, which it keeps over winter, and then flowers in the spring of its second year.
I'll admit it, I'm not great with titles. Sometimes they just feel right and sometimes I feel like I'm stretching. This one feels more like a stretch, but it was the first word that came to mind.
Anyway, this was taken in my front yard the other day. It was cloudy, so that really softened the white and drew out the blues.
Happy Monday!

I gotta admit my "lens test" from yesterday's post of the little furry thing referred to as a pocket gopher did bring to mind last Spring's fling with the Long-tailed Weasel family. This was from the day after our discovery. It was just the best - the kits were frolicking, dad was off hunting gophers, and I think that's mom in the background upside down. They did work on gopher control - the dad took out an entire family of newborns and the poor parent that morning, brought them all back to the burrow for his family, one by one while i watched in amazement. I and a number of other photogs from all around SoCal enjoyed their high-energy antics for the next couple of months.

Westbound helpers out of Livingston are done shoving this Laurel to Pasco freight train up the 1.8% grade over Bozeman Pass. The helpers will now ride to Bozeman before cutting off after meeting 1 at West End. The train will slip into the 3000 foot tunnel here at the top of the 5500 foot pass. Decent snow fall the past 24 hours has whiten up the higher elevation thru here.

I have to admit after looking at so many wonderful photos from this location, this was much harder than it appears. It was cold and windy and it takes quite a bit of help from the ocean and the sun to get the right picture. A tip of the hat to those who've managed to capture those stunning images you find in other photostreams.
Thanks for the fave's and comments. You can see the rest of the pics of our trip to Iceland clicking here.
"If you're walking in the woods, you're probably going to get more annoyed by a loud, screeching bird call than a soft, complex birdsong. But dark-eyed juncos are just the opposite. These birds will find and fight their soft-singing peers.
Now, lest we think of dark-eyed juncos as simply the philistines of the animal kingdom who go about brawling with any bird that inject a little creativity into its birdsong - which, I'll admit, is a most entertaining thought - there's a more straightforward logic at play here. As with most things, it's all about mating and reproduction.
Males juncos will let out a loud, boisterous call when they're asserting their territory, but they'll favor a softer, more melodic song when they're trying to attract a mate. Researchers at Indiana University found that, when they played these two different songs for some male juncos, the birds completely ignored the loud song but actively searched for whoever was making the softer call.
In the wild, any male junco that goes hunting for the fellow junco behind that song is basically looking for a fight. It appears the birds are far more interested in maintaining their access to potential mates than they are protecting their territorial claims. They may not be philistines, then, but it does appear the juncos care far more about sex than land...which I suppose, as these things go, it's a fairly sensible decision."

I admit that I was slightly overwhelmed by all the possilities that came with this weeks theme "Reflection in a Spoon" of the Smile on Saturday group and couldn't really decide what to do. This photo is the result of an idea I literally woke up with this morning. :) I placed the spoon on a tiny vintage music box (which plays the Pink Panther theme) to get a reflection of the cute kittens.
HSoS !
I will admit this kind of tourist honeypot is not the sort of place I enjoy photographically speaking. There just isn't much opportunity to make it your own and, of course, you have to avoid getting in the way of the other visitors. However, you don't go all the way to the Outer Hebrides without seeing the remarkable standing stones at Callanish. And, in all fairness, the visiting experience is much better than at Stonehenge, simply because the location is so much more remote. If you can avoid getting any other people, fences, parked cars or buildings in the background (no small task I can tell you) the view is undeniably photogenic. I would have preferred a stormy sky to add some drama and mood to the scene. But it wasn't to be.
