The flaming bright orange flowers danced

gracefully to the tune of the breeze

as the bright sun smiled on them

making them more spectacular.

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)

Winchester city centre. The joy of a river through a built up area is wonderful. Surrounded by houses but at the edge of a park the River Itchen chalk stream still runs pure.

Happy birthday, dear Luana!

These Lilies were in the Baptist Church gardens, they have helpers to keep them tidy.

A little Bright Color, on a Cold Cloudy,always makes my day.

After giving me that cheeky girl look, Lucy gave me the biggest smile, bright eyes and all !!

A bright late afternoon sun is the back drop for this White Pelican.

A few more ice abstracts from New Year's Eve .... it's grey, windy and wet now, so I'm looking back a week or two to brighter days.

This one, as well, was taken from our own garden a couple years ago. This is a bright red zinnia. This one, as well, turned out fairly well for being red! Hope you all enjoy!

As you can see this Snowy Egret was FULL of energy and ready to take on the World ! Seen at Malibu Lagoon. Hit "L" for an even closer look at Snowy's eye !

Although this is the rose garden at Point Defiance Park, many times they will place some lilies at the center--rather as a showcase! I just love lilies--and these day lilies are brighter than sunshine! Hope they help to brighten your day! Enjoy! :)

I used a patterned picture on my tablet as background for this shot. The only problem I had was that my tablet was a little small.

Back rested and bright eyed and bushy tailed I am starting with one of my favorite views of Haarlem which is the backside approach to the Nieuwe Kerk the scene always appears to me as a picture waiting to be captured and a fitting end to my reworks of Haarlem.

Originally there stood a cramped and falling down gothic St. Anne's chapel which the Nieuwe Kerk replaced in 1649 by Jacob van Campen’s Gothic austere design as Haarlem’s first stone built protestant church but keeping the locally designed Renaissance tower by Lieven de Key by request of the city .

This style of protestant church was designed to focus the congregants attention on the pulpit instead of the ornamentation and the outside was to represent the temple keep in Jerusalem.

The Nieuwe Kerk also served a more practical reason as well, in the winter the Grote Kerk is freezing and there is not an easy way to heat it comfortably to make it bearable for the attendees so during the colder months of the year the congregation moves into a much smaller warmer space of the New Church.

I took this on Sept 13th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/10 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like these maple leaves, which are quickly gaining the rich gold, orange and red tones of the season.

Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
