7DOSr Beginning with M Shoot Anything Saturday
Out walking with Tasku this morning I was surprised but delighted to see several Holly Blues on this plant. Surprised because mostly they are on the move and rarely settle. Then I realised they were laying eggs (I have one photo to put up where that is obvious). On returning home I looked in my book and realised that the plant must be a type of ivy as the second brood only lay eggs on this particular plant - and the first brood, in April, only lay on holly. Fussy insects! I will have to go back to see if can spot any eggs and again in a few days to look for the caterpillars.
I'd only taken my camera as I wanted to try out my new macro lens so that was an extra bit of luck. 😊

“The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater—a moment when anything can happen, anything be believed in.”
― Olivia Howard Dunbar
Taken at Croome last week. Croome Court was the ancestral home of the Earls of Coventry. It was sold in 1948 and became first a boys' school and then a centre for the Hare Krishna movement. It was purchased by the National Trust in 1996 and since then many restoration projects have been carried out; it's always a good place to visit for a walk in the extensive parkland and see the varied exhibitions that take place in the house itself.
This arch would have been in use in the days of the Earls of Coventry as visiting carriages would enter here, it is no longer used as the main entrance but still stands as a reminder of grander times.
The Smile on Saturday theme this week is Anything with A.

Thank-You
I get a little anxious whenever I don't upload a photo on time but I'm still a little bit busy during the week and since I moved to the centre of the city I'm not that inspired when it comes to taking pictures. I'll try to upload a picture per day as I used to do over the next week :D
Some may be surprised to see pelicans in Colorado but we have them (not many and rare to see), sometimes they even spend the entire winter here on lakes and reservoirs. They are interesting to watch swimming and scooping up fish, frogs, salamanders and just about anything that they can toss back and swallow using their wide, flat, bills and big orange pouches.
I have not personally know etva,
I do not know anything about her
except what emerges from his images ....
yet, by visiting his photostream
I have taken a great sadness....
Lately he had taken to support my works
and now it seems so strange his absence.
I met etva elaborating its image under
"winter trees" as the Source Image for the Kreative People
and I wanted to greet her with a new processing
the same image
Thank you Beth
Today's theme for the Smile on Saturday group is "Anything beginning with A".
This is an Artwork by Monet. It is at The Courtauld Gallery in the Strand, London.
Thanks for visiting.

Two captains on solid ground.

1955-1957 Opel Kapitän Limousine 4 Türen.
From November 1953 onwards the Opel Kapitän received a entire new ponton shaped body. For model year 1955 the body was slightly renewed.
The Kapitän was on top of the Opel range, and based on General Motors designs. The Kapitän wasn't sporty at all, but on the other hand very luxurious.
The iconic Båstnäs junk yard is extraordinary. As far as I know there's no second place like this in Europe right now.
Båstnäs is not an ordinary scrap yard, it's a real Grave Yard. It consists of about 800 Cars from about 1940s till the early 1970s. In the heydays there were even 2000 cars but a lot of them have been cleared years ago. Happily volunteers try to preserve the place as it is right now. That means that visitors are asked not to damage the cars and not to take anything away.
That makes this unique place not a scrap yard but a monumental Grave Yard, a hommage to automotive achievements, a nostalgic place to worship classic design & technics.
I took some 800 pictures. Now and then I'll fill my Båstnäs album with new posts. Slowly it will grow to give you a full impression of this unique collection.

If you looked at my previous photo and have a keen eye, you may see that one of the Observation Towers was incorporated into the construction of this modern home. This is located on Topsail Island, NC.

Instead of snow and frost as should be expected at this time of the year, the thermometer has been showing mild temperatures these last days between 10 and 12 degrees centigrade, above zero to be clear, even at night not much lower.

How can you do anything more?
From the series 'Los desastres de la guerra' ('The Disasters of War')
1812 - 1815
From the exhibition "The Disasters of War. Goya and the Present" in the Albertina
"Since the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine in February of this year, the photographer Mykhaylo Palinchak (*1985) has been documenting his homeland’s destruction and the attendant impacts on those who live there. His pictures of apartment complex ruins, the dead and survivors, people on the run, and those who have remained provide an impactful impression of this war’s immediate consequences.
The ALBERTINA Museum is showing 40 recent war photographs by Palinchak, whose work has dealt repeatedly with incisive political developments in Ukraine, in juxtaposition with Goya’s Los Desastres de la Guerra. Just like Palinchak's photography, Goya’s early 19th-century depictions of war from the collection of the ALBERTINA document the universal brutality of wartime events and the suffering of the civilian populace.
The exhibition is on view from 24 May until 21 August 2022."

The Armadillos at our local wildlife park are my favourite animals. They are little creatures wit a huge personality. I hope this little fella makes you smile today, but I can guarantee it would make you smile if you saw it in real life and could observe it's antics! Happy Smile on Saturday everyone!
I didn't post anything landscape related since maybe weeks?! It's so very cold outside , i find it hard to force myself to go out..... :)
For Macro Mondays - Anything Goes.
I haven't used my guitar for a shot for a while so decided to do a macro of part of the bridge for this weeks challenge.
Happy Macro Monday!!
My Macro Monday image for the theme "Evolution".
We used to use pens (or pencils for that matter) all the time didn't we, for lists, making notes, keeping appointments in a diary, writing letters etc. Now though, if you're like me, that usage has evolved to almost exclusively doing things electronically on a computer or a mobile device.
So this image, of a ballpoint pen, sitting on my Macbook keyboard is to represent that evolution. One result for me is how bad my handwriting has become, on the rare occasion that I do have to write anything of any length, I marvel at how bad it looks.
Going for an extremely shallow depth of field in this image, so my 100mm macro lens at maximum aperture of f/2.8 with three extension tubes on as well.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
Another very impressive cruise ship docked at Invergordon. This one carries anything around 2,000 passengers and they would have had a lovely day in the Highlands of Scotland. It is getting close to the end of the season and I probably will not see too many more cruise ships. I was delighted once again to be able to take my mother out to see the ship it was a lovely warm day.

The Swiss alps in a late September light...
...which shone so intensely that afternoon. The colors of the landscape are already wearing the guise of autumn. The view was as clear as an October morning. Standing there and marveling at this spectacle of light can hardly be compared to anything else. Many thanks dear friends for all the beautiful words on Part 1. I hope you like the second part as well. My first Fuji camera was here in action.This picture is already a few years old and I still chose it because the atmosphere was really unique for me that day and also because my oldest Son advised me to choose this one. I had another one to choose from showing the morning light over the mountains and lake, but for us this one is the right for now. (Maybe I'll post the other one at a later date.)
For both of us, this mountain lake is one of the most beautiful places in our country and we would like to visit it many more times, as long as I have the strength to do so. By the way, this is the high-altitude hike that leads around the lake high up. The mountains in the background are over 3600m high and the lake is at about 1500m over sea level. Here you see a rock face of more than 2000m height. It is sometimes not so safe to hike at this height and so close to the abyss, but it is incredibly beautiful, especially on a day like this when the mountain tops are covered with fresh snow. Thank you for reading my story to the picture and all time you give my little work. It means so much to me and every single word is so appreciated my dear friends.
...yes, I'm coming home to my beloved mountains. It's a part of me and I can't live without theme. I love nature so much. It's something deep in my heart.
Humble and uplifting at the same time, hardly anything in nature inspires as much awe as the sight of mountains.
Climb the mountains and feel the good energy. Peace in nature will flow into you like the sunshine that nourishes the trees. The wind will refresh you, the storm will fill you with power, and all your cares will fall away from you, like autumn leaves.
Hiking is the most perfect way to get around if you want to discover real life. It's the way to freedom.
Dire Straits-Why Worry
The leader but never wants to miss out on anything.
I'm going to miss these mini cats but I still have them for another couple of weeks.
I love cats more than anything – whether they're small and playful like a house cat or majestic and powerful like a tiger. Every cat has its own grace, its own special charisma, and that mysterious blend of elegance and freedom. Whether purring on my lap or roaming wildly through nature – cats fascinate me in every shape and size. To me, they're not just animals, but little miracles full of beauty and soul.
You can only imagine how nervous I was the whole time taking this picture, especially while it was very windy, worrying that Mary would fall - gladly that didn't happen :)

I'm really sorry for not posting anything for a long time and not commenting to your beautiful photos! There's been a lot happening and so much to do so I haven't had the time, but now I think I once again can spend more time here - yay!
