My first color of the year. One more month of yuck and life begins to renew. Bring it on!
I was not happy with this image and stepped away from working on it. I came back to it when I remembered an old trick that was taught to me when I was serving my photography apprenticeship. I flipped the image upside down and it was immediate that what bothered me was the sharp leave spikes on the right side. They were getting way too much eye contact, so I mushed them up and that did the trick. Hope you enjoy the flowers!

Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.
"A beautiful closeup of delicate orchid blossoms and a kaleidoscope of background colors. Great depth and soft light."

An "on location" wrist shot of this vintage handwound Chinese military wrist watch: "Jixing" brand, made by the Jilin Watch Factory (吉林手表厂). In the left background the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry terminal and in the distance the skyline of Hong Kong Island.
The "Jixing" (吉星) brand means roughly "Lucky Star". The 軍用 on the dial means "military use". These watches were issued during the China-Vietnam conflict in 1979 - and also in the "second phase" of this conflict in 1984.
Apart from the different case color this watch is same as the other Jixing watch shown here. And, even if these "Jixing" are certified military watches, one usually expects a more "tactical" look from such timepieces.

Three Alaska railroad GP's prepare to load out the rest of the ARMS barge on a typical Whittier day. Cold, wet, and foggy pretty much sums up this all season port with the original military era housing standing in the background. One of the neat things about the Whittier switch stands is that they all are some how lit at the same time in this shot and no its not photoshopped. After loading is complete these three Gp's will depart under the cover of darkness for Anchorage.
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.

Amtrak’s eastbound Southwest Chief is rounds a curve between Cosnino and West Darling at Milepost 331 near Flagstaff, Arizona, on April 20, 1990. The San Francisco Peaks dominate the background on this scenic portion of the Santa Fe main line through Arizona.
This was taken a couple of months ago on a trip to some local woodland to try out a new lens I'd just bought (see tags). There was still some lovely colour in the trees and I found this old tree standing on the edge of a field directly in front of a hill that was full of trees that were splashed with those glorious late autumn oranges.
A rather elegant flower that I spotted in a local park last fall. Have a great weekend, everyone!

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!!

I only managed a rear view of this heavy cruiser of the skies. The background is the reflection of the intense blue sky in our village lake. Always a little surprised to actually focus on a dragonfly with the 800mm lens.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

'we really need more Female Acoustic Poses!
Used the 'remove background' option and concocted something I like better. Fun project for these Covid days.
View from our rental apartment just outside of Portree. You can see Portree and the Old Man of Storr in the background. When the tide would come in, the body of land in the water is a full island.
