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.

For "Looking close... on Friday!" - theme : "Flora on White Background".

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.

Quite liked the dark background and the reflection of the tail.

This is what happens when I try to take a shortcut home to make it in time for dinner and end up choosing the least safe route. Sammy and I almost became dinner ourselves!

Adult Red Knot in breeding plumage - New Jersey, USA

As I’ve mentioned before, I spent a lot of time in 2020 exploring new places in New Jersey to find birds. During the peak of spring shorebird migration, I’ve made few trips all the way down to Delaware Bay to find Red Knots in their full alternate plumage. I can’t wait to come back there again this season

Never stop exploring!!!

Thank you all for kind comments!

a fleeting moment at the retiro park—where a pigeon takes flight, carving its path against the moody sky. the feathers stretch wide, catching the light, each edge outlined in quiet strength. the blurred waters and distant monument dissolve into whispers of the background, letting the bird own the frame. here, in black and white, is motion frozen and yet alive. it’s a pause before the air carries it further, leaving only a memory in its wake.

These photo's are all off an old back up hard drive, none of these photo's have been processed before. At the time of taking I took many shots, trying different settings, I posted some and others have just stayed dormant on my back up hard drive..

I had this image in my head for over a week, just could not find the blue ribbon to perfectly match this and hold this a the perfect gift for you.

Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe.

The cornflower is considered a beneficial weed and its edible flower can be used for culinary decoration, for example to add colour to salads.

Cornflowers have been used and prized historically for their blue pigment.

Cornflowers are often used as an ingredient in some tea blends and herbal teas and is famous in the Lady Grey blend of Twinings.

I find this a happy and summery image. Bringing ‘joie de vivre’. A personal fave again.

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

I had some reasonable shots of a Kingfisher but they had a pretty uninspiring grey background due to a dull overcast day. So for the very first time I decided to find out how to change the background of the shot, this is the result not perfect by any means but more pleasing to the eye than grey. There is also a slight vignette, it's obviously not a natural background and I would always say if I had done this. Any thoughts ?
