Although I did a tiny bit of "tweaking" in PS, I was really quite surprised to see all the different coloured bokeh I was able to get with this series of spring blossoms.

Sunlight squeezes through the bell tower on an old rural church. Rays radiate through the opening. A gravel road shoots across the the scene, electric poles follow. A few clouds linger in the sky.

A thriving group of Common Bonnets (Mycena galericulata) covered a thick fallen tree branch all over. This is a widespread species of fungi belonging to a big Mycena family. The genus name “Mycena” originates from the ancient Greek work” mykes” meaning “fungus”. The scientific epithet “galericulata” comes from the Latin word ‘galer’ which is be translated as ‘helmet’ or ‘hat’. If you compare its small cap with the length of the stem it sits on – it is indeed an elegant ‘fungus with a small hat’. Their appearance also reflected in other names like the ‘helmeted high-stool’, the ‘togue mycena’, and the ‘rosy-gill fairy helmet’. A rosy colour refers to the tint of the gills these fungi could develop when aged. Beechwood fungi. Lansdown near Bath, BANES, Somerset, England UK.

This abandoned place was an old community school. The road is used by locals and tourists, it's an undiscovered beauty route to travel through. Nowadays there is a discussion who would be responsible, however I look forward to be restore and give an worthy use.
This is one portion of one tree of many at the Rockport Rookery. The Great blue herons are all facing the setting sun except the one that just returned with some nest builind materials. There was lots of mating rituals, gift, and nest material presentation going on in the colony.
Can you see him there, in the middle? Its a dog... :¬)
This is a very poor community (or Favela, in Portuguese) called Santa Marta, on the mount Dona Marta. For many years it was devastated by the violence caused by the organized crime, specially because of the drug traffic. I could never imagine myself entering there, but, since November 2008, its permanently occupied by the police and, since this date, the inhabitants are free of the violence. Them, I could walk all the place without problem (well, almost...), but, in general, was everything very well, even I'm being with a bit of fear...
In LARGE you will certainly find him.

"Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up."
........Robert Frost
This fence is part of an historical community garden, which in turn is part of a larger heritage precinct in the little town of Penola, South Australia which lies in the heart of the famous wine area of Coonawarra.
I doubt it serves a lot of practical purpose now - except for looking gorgeous and being a prop for photographers. Its a wonderful tribute to the community who maintain and preserve these historical treasures. HFF
Living in a seaside town, there isn't a huge "community", other than that at the church, so I resorted to my Teddy B community.

Something unusual - the finials on this metal fence each had a crocheted cover. I am guessing a community art project but lovely to see
Schoolchildren's art on display in the Tateishi Nakamise shopping arcade. Local shops and the shopping street association give prizes for kids' art, and some of the winners were on display when I visited.
To me, this photo shows the strong connection between local shopping streets and the community. They are one and the same, essentially. Gut one, you're going to end up gutting the other. This arcade is over sixty years old, and arguably needs to be rebuilt. Rebuilt--not replaced by something that will primarily serve the interests of entities outside the community, who have no vested interest in it, and see it only as a locus for extracting profit.
