I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Please note that long lists of group invites will be vapourised.

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and the theme at the fabulous *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ Group, is white background.

So what is yellow, full of vitamins, goes great with gin & tonic and looks awesome on white background ? Lemon of course !!

I had this picture on my mind for quite some time now so when I heard the white background theme I was ready !

Well at least in my head, because capturing the picture that I actually like is surprisingly very time consuming (am I too obsessive ??? Am I a photography monster ?? I think we have something here.)… We all (yes, my family’s input is mandatory during the photo shoots !!) almost lost our minds with this one… Luckily we had gin & tonic for my husband and I and video games for my sons to calm down… So cheers my friends and I hope you like the result !

See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Ô neige, toi la douce endormeuse des bruits

Si douce ,toi la sœur pensive du silence ,

Ô toi l'immaculée en manteau d'indolence

Qui gardes ta pâleur même à travers les nuits ;

Douce ! tu les éteins et tu les atténues

Les tumultes épars , les contours ,les rumeurs [.......]

With the Metra parking lot empty in the background and a light snowfall in the air, WSOR T001 heads west through town a little before midnight ahead of the second to last outbound Metra train from Chicago. This is the end of the line these days for commuter service on the former Milwaukee Road "J Line" from Rondout to Janesville.

The red signal above the second car in the train marks the new end of signaled territory. CTC and a new siding at Libertyville are part of the upgrades completed so far on the 17 miles Metra operates west of Rondout.

Que le soleil est beau quand tout frais il se lève ,

Comme une explosion nous lançant son bonjour !

_Bienheureux celui-là qui glorieux qu'un rêve!

Je me souviens!... J 'ai vu tout,fleur,source,sillon,

Se pâmer sous son œil comme un cœur qui palpite....

_ Courons vers l'horizon ,il est tard, courons vite ,

Pour attraper au moins un oblique rayon !

BAUDELAIRE !

My thanks on line tutor Matt Kloskowski for the lesson on creating one's own textures.

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.

old bridge down by the mud (mud river) i have taken a lot of pictures from this bridge and now they have blocked it even for walking on. it is wildly warped and probably shouldn't be walked on.

Composite: The background of this photo is an infrared image I took with my Canon Rebel XT using a Canon EFS 17-85 lens. The pose is based on a publicity photo of Lon Chaney for a now lost movie "London After Midnight." The face is mine manipulated in Photoshop. It made a journey through many filters to appear as it is now. I entered a square format version of this in a Halloween contest by BenQ.
