I think this one represents the color of the blooms a bit better...I really hard a hard time getting the image to look as vibrant on flickr as it does in camera and on my computer..first ones I posted were really dull on flickr...so hope this looks OK ...I know all screens are different.

Had the hardest time focusing on those tiny tips!

I have this really hard time with B/W photos.Although I like them, I never get to do them... I miss colour!

So this one is almost a B/W photo! But the flower was already white, so that was an easy one for me!

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting. My external hard drive was damaged in my luggage and that is where all my photos are. I have someone that is going to look at it on Monday and retrieve everything for me. Will do my best to catch up as much as I can.

 

Have a great weekend.

just aa quick upload to wishh you all a good weeekend!!!!!

The excellence being the detailed brick arch and Victorian signalling at Par rather than the approaching (and currently disgraced after the mass fleet withdrawal) Hitachi set.

 

Little has changed in the signalling world west of Liskeard (maybe only Penzance losing its semaphores in 1982) since I was travelling behind class 50s in the late seventies and early eighties. Even earlier than that with the Westerns and Warships and Castles & Halls, the ever-present bridges and signals have seen them all come and go.

 

The train has been kept in the background in the scene, as it's the other older things such as the old ground signal paraffin holder and spiky finial atop the up home signal that catch the eye.

 

The service was 1C76 1004 Paddington to Penzance formed of 802004 & 802001 on 5th May 2021.

On and off # 1 on my interestinglist ;-)

Com'e' breve l'incanto

quando il controluce

inizia a porgere la soglia

di un'immagine reale.

 

Prima che di luce abbia la propria,

scollandosi dal fondo,

per l'occhio che la guarda

essa e' nera.

 

Abbacinante assenza

quanto inutile presenza

al sognatore

che non la voleva vera.

 

Chiude gli occhi negligenti

fermando il fotogramma.

Ormai privo dell'enigma.

Biasimevole per ozio.

What you can do:

You can criticise silence,

You can ignore silence.

What you cannot do:

You cannot sit even one fleeting minute

In silence.

Yet one day

It is you and you alone

Who will marry silence

And become inseparably one

With silence-sky.

These weeds have been the bane of my existence for the last few days. But before yanking them all out, I decided to take a closer look at the flowers with my camera. They look better when viewed like this. (and a little post processing)

A number of you have questioned how Star is doing with the extended bleak weather which has been plaguing the area. I reckon this photo pretty much provides the answer, as a glowering cat sits glaring out the window, dejected and despondent at the continuing wintry mix, chagrined at her inability to spend any time outside at all, limited only to a few brief minutes on the deck. Her seasonal clock is clearly working quite well, as her mournful whining at the door would attest, but provided the opportunity of an exit, she immediately slaps at the sudden chill with her paw, sniffs the air, gazes about briefly and returns, albeit sullenly, to the comfort of the indoors. Clearly, an advanced case of cabin fever has taken hold...and is destined to continue for awhile with up to 12 inches of new snow forecast over the next two days and temps remaining 10-15 degrees below seasonal norms. A winter to remember. However, on a positive note, the weatherman has optimistically called for the arrival of spring-like conditions in a few weeks...which you will note would coincide with the start of May. Better late than never. In the meantime, one member of the household remains doubtful, wistful, and petulant...as does Star.
