Local Nature Park -- Trawden

HBM!

The festivals were great. I'll post some images later, after I've had time to process them better. We were lucky with the rain.

This is from the grounds of Laguna Gloria museum/art school. It's a really place in west Austin. Lots of weddings are held on the grounds. Not so much in this area, but other sections where it's much prettier.

Beautiful area for walking and taking in nature. Quabbin Reservoir Visitor Center in Belchertown, MA.

Wooden benches at ground level, curved around the green grass of the Thebarton Oval.

I will return to catch this quaint little bench set in the dunes near Cresswell for a sunrise at some point, was just a scouting mission yesterday

This was quite a sight at the local golf course.

My sister said this looked like heaven's waiting room.

Looks like a bench on the planet Jupiter, amazing thing to see

Germany. Hohenheim Gardens. August ... a month with massive infrared light. So i don't hesitate to take "winter" shots in summer. My macro equipment at this day is placed on this bench.

Nikon D40. Lens 18.0-55.0mm f/3.5-5.6. ISO 200. 1/320 sec. f/8. 18mm. Using an infrared filter 720nm. Red/Blue channel swap in post production in order to get the dark blue sky.

If you are interested in an image of the disassembled Nikon D40 for infrared conversion ... here it is --> Nikon D40 Infrared Conversion.

At Highgate Wood

Last weekend, one of the enchanting moments this winter was: minus 20 degrees outside temperature, a fog bench and slowly the sun turns on and after and after the fog bench. Fantastically cold, but crazy light.

Where there are friends, there is also wealth.

Waar vrienden zijn, is tegelijk rijkdom.

for Monday

One of the little shops in Burnet, TX we visited during our stop over.

We had such a delicious lunch too at the Trailblazer Grill. A fun day was had by us all. We almost missed the train going back, but they waited for us!

Happy Bench Monday!

HBM!!

Not sure why the tractor is next to the bench but it made an interesting shot. This is from the Salt Lick Restaurant in....wait for it..Driftwood, Texas. Why's it called Driftwood? I don't know. So, researched it and found nothing. There isn't a lake or any kind of water around Driftwood. Another one of life's little mysteries.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great week.

Good thing we have flickr. Our connection to the outside world..;) For a big bird, Sea Gulls don't like to be in a space where they don't have a 360 view. At least from what I can tell. I was trying to be a little creative here and only focused on the bench.

I'm taking a couple of days off this week. I don't have anything planed, just trying to use up my vacation time before the first of the year.

spring is in the air. As I wander through this beautiful park, in another 12 days it will be jammed packed with visitors from everywhere., So I try to get here b4 that happens, and I was in luck, the weather was perfect (a few Days ago) and just a few families...perfect for photoging:)

Taken near Rossendale.

Happy Bench Monday!

This should be the last snowy bench I photograph for awhile.

Beachy Head, Sussex. HBM!

A new place I just visited the other day

By far the best part of gardening is the chance to sit down and rest, and simply enjoy the garden... whatever the season!!

More playing with my miniature furniture

This section of the canal is between Renton's Bridge and Nicholson's Bridge. On the left you can see Ripon Racecourse and to the right the tops of motor boats moored at the Ripon Motor Boat Club.

Ripon Motor Boat Club was established in 1931, having celebrated its 85th anniversary in 2016 the club is now one of the largest inland waterway boat clubs in the country.

The Ripon Canal is located in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by the canal engineer William Jessop to link the city of Ripon with the navigable section of the River Ure at Oxclose Lock, from where boats could reach York and Hull. First used in 1773 and closed in 1956 consising of 3 locks over its 2.3 miles

In 1961, members of the Ripon Motor Boat Club formed the Ripon Canal Company Ltd, and gradually restored the canal up to Littlethorpe. Subsequently, the Ripon Canal Society spearheaded restoration, which was completed in 1996. It is now managed by the Canal & River Trust
