For Macro Mondays - Hole

I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.

Happy Macro Monday!

As promised I have a few infra red shots from Barnbougle (taken with my converted compact camera). These have been converted to black and white and the the sky has been colour toned using the blue stream of the tone curve.

Here a group of golfers are on the 18A Green at Barnbougle's Lost Farm links course. Lost Farm is a course designed by former US Masters winner Ben Crenshaw. It has 20 holes, and is the younger sister to The Dunes links course at Bridport.

We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!

Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.

Uses ultra-compressed fluid good for roughly 60 seconds of expulsion per canister.

There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.

Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!

Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.

There is no plan. The struggle for space is just the same as on a forest floor. New, bolder high-rise supplants older creations.

SMALL and compact little bird, love watching them, they feed from the ground in pairs or a group, but one is always on a stem as a lookout, and they take it in turns, Resident all year round, see at Northforland, Margate, Kent.

I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.

This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.

It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.

This is time for reflection.

Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?

Did I do too many panoramas lately?

Did I do too many infrareds?

Should I take more color shots?

Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!

Reflection shot in Steveston taken with my Fuji point & shoot again in the weekend.

This morning I was trying to take a picture of Sydney when I saw Jessie observing herself in Jane's compact mirror. So I snapped this picture of her(and me).
