When a few flowers died in each of two bunches of flowers I was given, I merged them together and think the colours go well.
Day 17 post-op yesterday and I took a walk down the road, with Ray and 2 crutches for company (although I can now manage fine with 1 indoors) my target being to the local church and back. It was slow, the traffic a bit noisy to somebody unaccustomed to walking out but there is a handy seat near the church.
Once home, Ray checked the distance and found I had walked just over half a mile - well pleased!
……But not as rough as it can get in winter months in Coverack! This was an Easterly wind that was whipping a bit of a swell- on the other side of the Lizard it was flat!…….. Hope Friday is going well, stay locked down and cosy to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

Getting a bit obsessive with the Nigella which is starting to pod up now. Its seed pods are huge with a promise of the beauty to come next year. I'll need to get them started much earlier than I did this year. To be honest what with the rotten weather and sowing the seeds late I haven't played fair with them. I may just deliver a final insult and finish them off in a salad later. Not nice really.
I use both the flowers & leaves as they're nice and peppery in a salad and will go wonderfully with Queen Olives. Oh yes, indeed they do.
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.
A bit of a touristy shot maybe but I was moved by the beauty and setting of this old ruin.
This abbey was established in 1132 by devout monks seeking a simpler existence. The atmospheric ruins that remain are a window into a way of life which shaped the medieval world.
The abbey operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries.
One-of-a-kind, it is now recognised as a World Heritage Site.

A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
……A bit of bright sunshine to brighten us up! I thought we needed it. Happy Thursday everyone, Alan:-)

I live about 15 minutes drive from the nearest beach and as sunset approaches I often wish I'd jumped in the car and driven there, but its usually too late when I realise. Yesterday had been overcast all day, but in the late afternoon it cleared a bit, so I went down to the beach in time for once.
Just a bit too slow to capture an actual resident of this pretty mews in Kensington.
"The word "mews" comes from the French word muer, meaning "to moult," originating from the Royal Mews at Charing Cross where royal hawks were housed during their feather-shedding season. When the hawks moved, the site was converted into stables for horses and carriages, but the name "mews" stuck, eventually describing similar stable-and-coach-house buildings built behind grand London homes. "

A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
A bit of an obvious one for "Soap", and there are some similar entries for this week's theme.
What makes this one a little different is that I've waited for the sun to come out and shine through the bar of soap to make the logo glow with yellow light, and this type of lighting also has the effect of softening the detail - "soft soap" perhaps?
Shot with a Helios 44M lens at f/8 on about 2cm of extension tubes.
In post processing, I've "turned everything up to 11" to enhance the effect, cropped down to the logo and I've cloned out a few tiny blemishes.

As I write this Hong Kong is experiencing a bit of turmoil. The photos of protestors I see are quite striking and a reminder that when one's freedom is taken away, trouble is not far behind. But for me, this is Hong Kong. The city is filled with spirited people who are not afraid to stand up and be heard. While Communist China will ultimately win, perhaps positive changes can be made tho' I'm cynical to believe freedom will win.
That said, Hong Kong is a vibrant and vigorous city that rivals New York City with it tall and massive skyscrapers. It is easy to feel dwarfed walking along the streets. You might even feel as if you're in a deep hole as natural light seems so far in the distance. If you reach your hand toward the sky, perhaps you'll touch the light tho' you never seem to touch the light.
I've spent a relatively short amount of time in Hong Kong as the city is always a stopover as I travel to/from Bali. Sometime I'd like to spend an extended period of time in Hong Kong to touch the soul of the city. I want to know all of its curves, quirks, tastes and sounds. Up to now I've experienced the top tourist things to do and this isn't quite so satisfying for me. It's almost as if I've only seen the superficial while I know there is a heart and soul to the city.
As you can view in the video presentation in this blog post, I can only recommend the Star Ferry Harbour Tour, the Tram and Tramoramic Golden Ticket Tour and Temple Street Night Market.

A bit different with the processing on this one...mostly due to the extreme shadows and highlights. I decided to do something different and embrace the chaos. I quite like the result, but prefer a nice overcast day for woodland and water...Turkish clear blue sky and blazing summer sun are not exactly the ideal conditions. Take what you get
I had a bit of a disappointing start to the day, despite good conditions predicted there was no mist to be seen around Corfe Castle where I was first thing this morning.
Luckily tonights sunset was absolutely beautiful at my local beach. On the ledge there is also another photographer enjoying the conditions.
I think I am getting into a bit of a rut. I need to think of somewhere different to go.
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way, especially in these dark winter days.
