Before sunset in the park of New Schleißheim Palace.
Unfortunately the park closes long before sunset.
The New Schleißheim Palace was built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore felt the need for a representative new residence.
Bad luck: Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

closer than expected for such a shy species and it was in this spot just long enough for one shot.

What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! Because of the bounty of abundant (some might say relentless, lol) sunshine this summer, the autumn Anemones are already blooming in August. This beautiful Anemone deserved to be painted.

I thought it was so funny to see this place in Santorini with the table on the outside of the building so high up....a cool optical illusion! Last Caturday was dinner for one and this Caturday is dinner for two!

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
some sad news I have been expecting arrived yesterday ...
my dear Aunt Mal passed after battling cancer for many years ..
she had a good life and lived her entire life in Wales .. . she loved horses and farms .
when she discovered she had cancer she immediately arranged to hike the Pennine Way .. . this National Trail chases along the mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England and offers 268 miles of the finest upland walking in England. A once in a lifetime experience.
her energy and laughter and encouragement will be with me forever .. some special light never dies .. I miss her already ..

Psalm 139:14
King James Version
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Happy Birthday HOPE..!!!
The definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
A tiny percent of rain —and lack of wind—drew me outside to photograph wild daisies of some sort. Borrowed my husband's Nikkor 200mm macro/prime lens and rested it on the trusty monopod. On my knees shot.
I know, based on my husband’s reaction, that this will appear too shallow for many. Don’t worry; I don’t expect you to comment ;-)

I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
The rains continue to fall. It rained on St Swithin's Day and so we expect another 40 days of it. As each drop of rain falls, I feel my fear and worries rise. I am once again picking our son up from the floor following a seizure induced fall. His new specialist epilepsy neurologist is seeing us soon and I am documenting his current condition in his ‘seizure diary’. It does not make good reading.
I fear how I will convey this crucial information. I can talk about epilepsy and autism as well as his other conditions fluently and with confidence. But this meeting will be about our son. When I talk about the pain and torment our son lives through each day, I am always overcome with emotion.
The diary will help, and it will contain thoughts and questions that I will refer to if I need prompts. I am not expecting anything in particular, we have been trying different things over many years now. But his condition is getting worse. In front of our very eyes, we see the changes.
My fears are as plentiful as the endless raindrops falling outside. I just hope this new neurologist listens to my story and commits to continuing to support us through whatever the future holds …
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

I expect this would be called a weed. But the plant produced lots of wind-ready fruit, and it looked elegant, for a weed.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

Here comes the rain to melt the snow. Spring is almost here! :) I liked the way the drops rested on the orange cord. I love me some drop hunting. Hehe ;)
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. - Abraham Lincoln, 1838
I went out to shoot star trails with a clear night and nearly a new moon. My first few test shots I noticed a green cloud to the East and I am thinking that is going to screw up my star trails. Shortly after that the sky was lit up with the Northern Lights and I was shaking with excitement trying to compose myself to get the shots. Needless to say I did not get star trails this night.

And magic happens
The sun was setting
And I saw that my light was disappearing and thought well I just enjoy the hike then, no photos today
HIking up to the top
Squeaking my way, every step makes this crisp sound
And then I saw how the last beams hit the snow and caressed it
I think that is so cool
Not expecting anything
And getting everything
I love balance
And this is my kind of balance
Friday is on you guys, have a good one!
Liquid soap and glycerine left to form a surface film then angled the lens at 45 degrees to try to catch the colors reflected as the sun hit the liquid. Didn't get the result I expected, but happy enough with this. Need to get a macro lens
I guess I didn’t expect my next heritage unit to be another black and white ACe with different lettering but it’s nice getting this shot crossed off the list
