I've really got into my divided skirts and culottes of late. I'm sure it's the cold weather that's influencing me. I prefer my culottes and divided skirts to be ankle length.
Just as I think skirts look better filled out with petticoats, I always wear pantaloons under my culottes and divided skirts instead of tights.

Only ever seem to see these things when the weather cools down around winter time.
Focus stacked using Zerene.
Photos of nature or the garden, taken from December 2020 through to early March, 2021, just through the window on when out on walks.
Also when I went to the races at Sandown in early December - first meeting since Ascot in Feb 2020, when we thought that perhaps normality was on the way

************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, and this Flickr set)
): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project six years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past six years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
Almost all kids like snow day here. First they don't have to go to school. Second, they can play snow. This was taken in the neighborhood.
My focus was off a bit, I used a vintage lens which is manual focus. It's difficult to use a manual focus lens to take action photos.

Have a wonderful day everyone
Chillier than usual temps kept me from using my equipment meant to give me several feet in additional height for this shot. (See OCS photo from same location) So I had to settle with a ground level wedgie of this 212 (Atlanta to Croxton) with a CSX AC4400 on the point.
It was only a few degrees above freezing today, but the sun was shining so we walked around the neighbourhood. There are a lot of crocusses out, and a few smaller spring flowers. They are good to see since there is so little other colour.

Today is cold,windy and rainy again, time for warm naps,hugs and soft blankets. Mom is making cookies....By the way yesteday I had my rabies vaccine ,I don"t feel the puncture ,and I feel very good today. Kissies ,Happy Sunday.
I haven't succumbed to any of the cold and flu conditions sweeping around all winter and I really believe a big part of this is due to my humidifier. As grateful as I am for central heating, it makes me feel SO parched and I was waking up every morning with my eyes and throat as dry as the desert. Then I remembered my Hello Kitty humidifier! A pleasant, helpful steam shoots out of her ears.
365 - Day 4
Soothing sight needed as we were confined indoors by rain. We haven't seen rain for months so have forgotten how to cope!. It did try to sleet but thankfully thought better of it. The south sides now have pockmarks of land showing through - the north sides are still pristine white.
MrMV is very unwell. His whole ear is swollen and red, but the doctor doesn't work until 5.30 pm tomorrow . :-(
We had about a foot of snow overnight - and the temperature thingy is now sporting a lovely top hat!

OK! I know I've turned into a wimp since moving to Florida, but it's cold today in Florida (High 40's low 50's to start the day). In Wisconsin this would have been a heat wave. It did however, allow me opportunity to wear one of my winter skirts and a slip along with my Leggs Sheer Energy Active Support Pantyhose.
I'm not one for posting a lot of food photos but these turned out so tasty that I thought I would share. (And yes, they do taste as good as they look.)

Steam "n" Snow.
Spring steam gala brought bitterly cold weather and frequent snow showers on the Saturday.
Here we see visiting loco from Langollen railway parked up just outside Kidderminster simmering away in a heavy snow shower.
