A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 18480

Archaeological Park Carnuntum - Austria
Carnuntum was a Roman army camp on the Danube in the Noricum province and after the 1st century the capital of the Pannonia Superior province, with 50,000 people. Its remains are situated in Lower Austria halfway between Vienna and Bratislava on the "Archaeological Park Carnuntum", extending over the area of 10 km² near today's villages Petronell-Carnuntum and Bad Deutsch-Altenburg.

Lyon, Rue St-Jean, house with a statue of St. John the Baptist
Vieux Lyon, at the foot of Fourvière hill, it is one of Europe’s most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods. [Wikipedia] It is very well preserved and full of fascinating details. It is very compact, but large enough to visit again and again, discovering new things every time.
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!
Rothenburg is one of the best preserved medieval villages in Germany and is also probably one the most touristy! I was lucky enough to visit May 04-05 so was on the early shoulder season and had some room to shoot picture without tripping over people. The city has parking outside the old walls for tourists and it is definitely less hassle than trying to drive around in this compact lovely place. This city gate scene was taken walking on my way to the Hotel Zum Breiterle to check in with my D750 and my trusty Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2.
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.

Rudy Duck
From Cornell These are small, compact ducks with stout, scoop-shaped bills, and long, stiff tails they often hold cocked upward. They have slightly peaked heads and fairly short, thick necks.

To everyone that has left a comment or has graced the photo by faving it, thank you, thank you, thank you...
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.

Feliz domingo
First, my apologies for posting so infrequently lately. Everything is fine, I've just been a little busy and haven't had as much time to devote here as I would like to. Hopefully I can get more consistent again soon.
I didn't take many portraits of Scotch after his surgery in large part because I wanted him to just concentrate on getting better and was a bit stressed out from the whole ordeal. After 17 total trips to the vet and surgery facility in 2016, he's off to a great start here in 2017 at least. He's been healthy, going on multiple long walks a day and is generally just a really happy 13 year old. This portrait comes from the same shoot as my previous Scotch post and I was mostly very pleased with all the results. I picked an evening where he was both calm and alert and didn't have to rely on him napping or sleeping like the previous year. With a handful of tiny treats, I was able to move him around where I wanted. He may be deaf but he still knows a few hand symbols we've used since he was a puppy. He'll still go to where I point, will still sit when I hold up a fist and will lie down when I lower that fist.
For this capture, I held a treat by my face and let him stare away for a few shots before I threw it to him. All dogs look differently when they want a treat or food--my Rottweiler would stare at and inch closer to the food while drooling or snatch it when he thought he had an opening and my old miniature pinscher would growl and bark at me (he was a monster)--but Scotch either figured out my weakness when he was young or simply lucked out. What he does when I'm eating my own food or holding a treat is stare me right in the eyes--this is a dog who hates eye contact--and just look at me like this while I eat, never shifting his gaze to the food. it's impossible to ignore and say no to...and I rarely do. It's so effective, in fact, that I'l typically push aside on my plate the last bite and give it to him so he won't look sad when I put my fork down on an empty plate.
This was also the first time I got to test out my new manfrotto tripod and vanguard pistol grip head. The tripod was a christmas gift to myself and finally gave me a lightweight, sturdy and portable option. It also allows me to get the camera extremely low to the ground like my old vanguard Alta Pro 163AT which is what I've used for the majority of the photographs I've posted here. The head is a vanguard GH-300t which has a built in shutter release if I want an extra hand verses holding a wireless remote. Oddly, my old set up was a vanguard tripod with a manfrotto pistol grip but this new setup seems much better to me. Like the previous post, Scotch is up on a chaise in my brother's office with a black foam board behind him to create the background and let me use a quicker shutter speed. While previous portraits have been favorites as I learned to photograph him and figure out how to achieve the look I wanted, I think these last two have been my favorites overall. These shots have more detail and better poses and the remote shutter on the pistol grip worked surprisingly well and sped up the time needed between the focusing, arrangement and setup of each shot.
Again, sorry for the infrequent posts and I hope everyone is having a great weekend :)

This ‘compact-reflex’ SLR camera was manufactured from 1977 onwards by the Japanese company Cosina (named Cosina CSM) for Porst in Nuremberg. Its M42 lens is an outstanding, fast lens that still impresses today with its sharpness and optical performance. CdS light metering and an electromechanical focal-plane shutter were, along with other features, state of the art for their time. It also still works perfectly and is in good condition, having always been well looked after. A flash is also included!
