I have not found a Poppy patch this summer so it was nice to find some at last.
Quite often there are Poppies and wild flowers in these small areas beside cereal fields, the Poppies in particular add a splash of colour beside the Barley crop.
The view from Blackstone Edge near Littleborough as the weather finally begins to clear. The sense of wildness of the countryside, somewhat tempered by the numbers of wind turbines visible in this part of the South Pennines.
Mallard duckling, there are only four of the new babies now !!

Beucha church - Bergkirche Beucha.
The hill on which the church stands was continuously excavated from the 15th century onwards, with the consequence that the church now stands on the edge of a near vertical slope.
EDGE OF TOMORROW
Dedicated to my Husband
We know we have
Lived on the edges
We know that this
Day might have to come
But don’t leave me yet
Not when there is still
Light in the day not yet gone
Don’t waste a moment
Don’t ever give time away
Not when you still
Have things left to say
You know I will always come here
Where the land sings like a song
Better than the silence
Of the dead halls of home
The light here shines
As if pure love is the air
Which nourishes your soul
And lessens the despair
I will reach through the barrier
And I will tear down the veil
On the edges of tomorrow
I will find you again
Seek the words in the wind
And capture the truth
Place them together
For all those that feel the same

So I am back after a difficult time, where the cold I thought I had because I got soaked in the rain, actually turned out to be Covid. I think I had been incubating this for a while before. Two days after me, my partner became very ill with it as well. We think we caught it at the same time, when we were out shopping. To jump forward a few weeks as we do not need to go over the experience of having Covid, many know to their cost what this is like, even if you have had the vaccinations, which we had, but suffice it to say here, my partner became very ill indeed, and because of my country’s depleted health system, and the age of my partner, I was starting to think I might have to make some difficult choices.
But thankfully, somehow, with me on twenty-four hour watch for three days and my partner’s resilience, and I think we can say here, that our love for each other, and the wish to remain with each other for as long as we can, helped my partner pull through. We are still recovering, but getting better each day.
I am talking about this because this work, and the work that follows it, is directly influenced by what we have both been through. The work that I have produced already on Flickr is what I experience, what you see on my Flickr page is the result of events in my life. It is a personal exploration, but it is one where others find a similar truth, a recognition, and the fact that I share these works with you means that I am telling others that I understand about the often emotional events in your life.
But this piece, I have dedicated to my husband, and to the God who gave us a little more time.
This image was taken at Glynde Church, East Sussex, UK, before we fell ill, at the beginning of October. This place, as many of you know, is one of my most favourite places to be on earth. It connects me with the divine. And I shall be returning to it as soon as I can.
When I was working on these new pieces, I listened to the music of U2. They are a personal favourite of mine, as I grew up with their music. Bono’s lyrics are poetic. Beautiful. He has always been an inspiration to me.
So with this work, I am pairing it with their track ‘Kite’, as this is what I was listening to when I was writing my poetry and concentrating on my image. This version is live, and sublime.
And if you would like to see more of my work, please have a look at my website:

Razor-sharp Focus on the Edge of the blue Glass. Seen in the BMW World, Munich, Germany. The Bokeh is a real Leitz SUMMILUX 1.4/75 Bokeh, shot at F=1.4.
Tried out Photoshop's new Enhanced Resolution filter. This is a really tight crop of a photo taken under not so good conditions -- heavy timber, snow on ground, lots of shadows and direct sun, and it is a heavily cropped image from a crop camera (Canon 80D and 18-135 lens)
Thank you for your previous comments. I hadn't planned to post anything, but felt inspired by Macro Monday's "Edge" theme today. Surely still feel edgy!
This is a long section of 'wallboard cap molding' from which one can hang framed art without punching extra holes in wood or wallboard.
The right side is 19.05mm in height. I bounced an SB800 speedlight against a semi-reflective warm surface. Balanced the molding on two glass salt and pepper shakers, hence a few bokeh balls.

Thanks for your comments. I read them all gratefully.
Would this look edgier in B&W?
With a view of the Derwent Valley in the distance. This was before Mr Sun briefly popped his head out. And brief it was too.

"OverThe Edge" is Europe's highest swing, placed on the Lookout deck of Tower A'dam.
A lone visitor pauses at the edge of the canyon. The waterfall is impressive, but the sense of scale is what caught my attention.
Curbar Edge is a gritstone moorland escarpment above the village of Curbar, in Derbyshire, England and close to the villages of Baslow, Calver, and Froggatt. It is located within the Peak District National Park at an altitude of 958 ft (292 m)

Taken on a long walk with a lot of climbing involved on Tuesday. I did not go up or down the ravine because the path went higher up.

A beautiful bird of the forests, this is quite a loud bird that is easily heard and maybe seen, but very hard to photograph since they hide in the canopy. The bird is endemic to South and Central India and always found on the slopes of forest hills. It does fly up and down the slopes in search of food though. It is a photographers favorite and a very hard one to get as such - especially in our region.
These are social birds always seen in flocks - usually of 4-6 or more. They keep flying from tree to tree in search of insects on the tree trunks. The birds were out in the open on the edge of a forest and flying from tree to tree. There was a tree stump that the birds stopped briefly and then took off - managed a few flight shots much to my delight!
Many thanks in advance for your feedback, faves and likes - very much appreciated.
