I almost didn't take a photo of this barn, because it wasn't old and weathered, but I loved the fact that the owners had added something attractive to their farm and not one of the "ugly" metal quansets.
On 12 September 2015, I drove further than I've ever driven before in one day - a total of 410 km (254 miles). This particular farm scene was taken along one of the backroads on the way to Bowden, Alberta.
I met my daughter at 9:00 am and we headed northwards, with our main destination being the Bowden Sunflower Maze. She was feeling well enough after her recent hospital stay, to get out for a day trip. The quickest route from Calgary is a distance of 96 km (60 miles), but I needed to avoid the main, busy route. Also, the backroads are more pleasant to drive - less traffic and, if one is lucky, the occasional old barn. There was one barn in particular that I had seen last year, that I really wanted to show my daughter and this took us a little out of our way.
We drove through the town of Olds, stopping briefly to take a couple of photos of the bright orange grain elevator. Going north, we drove the roads to the west of the main Highway 2, and on our return trip we drove the roads to the east of Highway 2. I think this trip really convinced my daughter, more strongly than ever, that sadly she has a mother with almost zero sense of direction!
This was the first time I had ever been to Bowden and the Sunflower Maze. For years, I had wished we had a field of Sunflowers somewhere within reach, as I had seen so many gorgeous photos taken by other people in various parts of the world. I certainly didn't get photos like those, but I was happy to get any shots at all. Apparently, that weekend was going to be the last chance to really see the flowers, so we were only just in time. This maze at Eagle Creek Farm is apparently the only Sunflower Maze in Canada. There is also an adjoining Corn Maze, but neither of us wanted to walk through that one, thanks to remembering the horror movie, "Children of the Corn"! The farm also has U-pick vegetables and flowers.
Thanks, Rachel, for spending the day with me - and for all your directions getting us there and back to the city! Lucky we went when we did, as it rained the next few days.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden.
"The Prince" is a David Austin old world rose from 1990 which produces the most exotic of all roses with masses of petals compacted into each bloom quartered and quilled of rich deep crimson in colour then turning to the deepest purple. When it reaches this point a rich fragrance exudes the blooms wafting and travelling through the air. This is the most beautiful rose the colours a mixture of blackberry colours to match the fragrance of deep rose and berries.
The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the stars which are 10mm in diameter. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

Seen from Ridgecrest Boulevard on Mount Tamalpais, the Sun sets over the Pacific Ocean. Smoke from several large forest fires further inland makes the sky and the layer of fog above the ocean look gray, and tints the sun an unusual deep red.

Drenched in a hue of deep red, this bloom exudes elegance and passion. Its velvety petals wrap around a delicate core, symbolizing the protective embrace of love. The contrasting green foliage showcases nature's canvas, where love, vitality, and serenity coexist in harmonious balance.

These poppies fascinate me more every day. I picked these at 6:30 this morning just after the pod casings split and fell to the ground.
It's important to sear the stems with a flame to seal them just after cutting them. That makes them last longer; however, they don't last very long even if you do that. So I quickly took some pictures.
Early in the morning the colors of the flowers are extremely saturated and only small amounts of pollen have sprinkled onto the petals.
The plants themselves are a bit awkward and unruly ... and large ... sporting an unusual blue-green hue that seems a little out of place in a sea of spring greens. Some of the plants are over four feet tall when in flower.
I'd like to try them again in the future just for the joy of anticipating the new incredibly beautiful color combinations that appear each morning. Plus, they're fun to photograph. But next time, they shall have a bed of their own because when they compete with other hardy annuals for garden space ... these poppies tend to win.

The previous upload was 'a bit of sass'......can't do that with a rose; a flower of stature, beauty, and class...always.
I played around and experimented with this cuz it was at an unusual angle..
It's for you flickr friends...a gift for the weekend; enjoy this time wherever you live......Pat

I've never used Rollei RPX25 before, so I decided to give it a go, looking for something with very high resolution properties and minimal grain.
This frame was shot using a VERY dark red Kodak filter on my Retina III (big) C, probably at about f11, give or take 4 seconds. I can see evidence of the "extended red sensitivity" the Rollei RPX family of films is known for, but it isn't quite "true IR". But it certainly has excellent sharpness and clarity which, in fact, exceeds the ability of this particular lens (Schneider 50mm f2.0 standard issue with the later Retina models)

I found it very difficult to get a good photo of a deep red rose. I must have taken about 100 pictures of this rose without being happy about the outcome. It will fade away before I am ready.

I took this picture during a trek in a awesome place called "The Tsingy Rouge". It is a stone formation of red laterite formed by erosion of the Irodo River in the region of Diana in northern Madagascar.
It is situated in the North of Madagascar, approximately 60 km south of Antsiranana near the town of Sadjoavato.
