Polzeath, Cornwall

This is a flower that I photographed in my sister's garden a few days ago.

 

Lighting stuff: I used a single YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left, and close to the the flower. My camera setting were such that the ambient light was quite dark in the background so that I would have contrast, and focus attention on my subject.

 

Other pictures I've taken of these flowers are in my Birds of Paradise album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157631967781801/

 

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

Some decent heavy weather passing thru here at the moment ... but when I saw the cloud thinning temporarily along the escarpment driving home I took the chance and dropped into Primbee Pier...

Blythe a Day. February 2026. Day 3.

Leucospermum

Full Resolution

Say what you will about real Oregonians not using umbrellas, the only reason more of us were not using them on this day was because none of the rest of us thought to bring one. This was an especially wet day spent trudging, sliding and clambering around southern Washington in search of waterfalls.

 

Towards the end of our trek we decided to hit up Curly Creek Falls, just as the icing on the cake. And it was. Matt was kind enough to remain still long enough for me to get this parting shot before we went wading, slipping, crawling back along the riverbank towards home.

So impressed by this rams horns

A pretty cool vine found growing into a broken window in a building at the Sandstone Quarries on Quarry Road in Amherst Township, Ohio. This place in very special to me as I grew up on Quarry Road about a mile north of these quarries. These quarries put Amherst on the map making it "The Sandstone Center of the World."

 

What do the Yale University Library, the University of Michigan campus chapel and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto have in common? The buildings were all built with

Amherst sandstone.

 

Have a few minutes...view this awesome YouTube video on the history of the sandstone quarries.

The fall asters may be starting to fade but they are not losing their charm!

Ahhhhhhhh. That late afternoon light. :-) Happy Fence Friday everyone. After over 3 months of traveling, it's so good to be home.

Taking a quick nap.

Not had one of those for ages! Do they even still exist??

Anyway, it's not just earwigs that love broom seed pods to hide in! This 7-spot ladybird was quite snug in this one!

In the rainforest gully are these beautiful fern croziers in the dappled light. Best viewed large.Maori name is Koru which I had forgotten until reminded by Lance!

American Robin (Turdus migratorius) Community Garden, and Thomson Brook, Kelowna, BC.

 

Am pretty sure this is the one I named Dog Robin last month. I prefer his nickname, though, which is based on his head plumage....

 

Frequent visitors here know that I love friendly robins. After a slow season in 2019 we have an abundance of 'em this year. I love looking for idiosyncrasies both in appearance and behaviour. This set features three Robbies that love to be photographed (okay, they don't mind it)....

 

There are Skulker Robins, too, and I'll feature them later....

Curly horns on this handsome ram

This wet Highlander was admiring the lilac clouds while having a good scratch on the fence post

I just love these sheep - they are such characters and with not many birds around at the moment they have been getting full exposure
