I followed a Julieanne Kost tutorial the other day and somehow I must have missed a step because it wasn't supposed to be quite like this. One day I will start again but in the meantime I thought I'd keep this anyway, I quite liked it.
These are 10 images of mine, severely cropped after applying 2 blur filters.
Around this time of year the sun will rise between the bridge arches. However, despite trying for many years I have yet to get the shot I really want, with the sun just cresting the hill behind in the centre of the arch. I thought I’d cracked it this time, the conditions looked ideal prior to sunrise and then right at the critical moment a blob of cloud settled on the horizon 😖. Still there’s always next year and I still managed to get some reasonable shots😎.
I’d been using my EOS R plus Tilt Shift lens for most of the shoot and at the last minute I grabbed this shot by just resting my Olympus camera on the bridge decking in order to get the very low angle.
After having our first warm day of this spring, which short lived, a cold front came in with rain and freezing rain. I hope this yellow daffodils will survive.

I run my desperate trembling hands
Along the floor were you once walked
Fighting tears that come from loss
I brave the rooms where we once talked
You took a part of me I never can reclaim
Your spirit's in my heart
But you know it's not the same
Straining to beat this blur of tears
Swollen eyes beg for my dead friend
Reminiscing with a photograph
Drives home (that) what was won't be again
I will to guarantee my reason will prevail
Pain breeds the need for make believe
To soothe a heart that's fail
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
As surely as day turns into night
I drop down to my knees and plead with the sky
Of course it does no good
But i'll give anything a try
Gazing, thinking, standing on a cliff
That guards the blue-green of the sea
I accept the blueprint of the world, that
All must pass away that's come to be
You meant so much to me
That's why there's all this pain
So much improved from our exchange
It will never be same
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
As surely as day turns into night
Like a wind-up clock left in the rain
Like a candle burns away its light
We all suffer at death's door
We all suffer loss...
As surely day changes into night
The wind blew down my perfect reflection shot expectation

Frente a esos espigados campos barridos por el viento, no pude dejar de evocar la tradicional tonada irlandesa que por tÃtulo lleva el de "El viento que agita la cebada" asà como la pelÃcula de Ken Loach que de ella adoptó el nombre.
-English:
Facing these windswept fields plenty of grain ears, I could not fail to remember that traditional Irish ballad entitled "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" and the Ken Loach's film of the same title.

Lots of people take pics of tulips those dayes. Not me, I decided. But those were so cute! Sorry, I couldn't resist. :^D
,and the bin liner...
For quite awhile now, whenever i have seen 6E26 Knowsley-Wilton household waste train, it has passed through P2 at a rate of knots....
so, to see it come up P1, then stop for a crew change, presented another opportunity...
This image is representational or a reflection of my thoughts on this coincidental event.
Of course we put rubbish in skips, and in bin liners, ( skip being a nickname for the Class 67 loco ),
Slender Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes analis)
In the garden today. I was actually trying (chasing) to get a shot of the first Blue Ringtail I have seen this season, I failed but this one posed nicely for me.
I am way behind today, I have finally succumbed to the cold that has been going through the family. Thankfully it seems I have a minor dose of it.
I will catch up as I can.
I usually setup 2 lights with shoot through umbrellas for our tight little interior shooting area. The lights are triggered with radios, specifically Pocket Wizards. But, let's say you occasionally run into a problem with one, or more, and they don't work, usually a fluke though. Pocket Wizard's are top of the line radio triggers, but even they can fail from time to time. In the above photo the main light on the left didn't fire. Usually, the image would be a "throw away." But, in this case, I kinda' liked the the result and decided to do the edit. It is proof that even one off camera light could yield some interesting results.
The business on the ends are definitely closed and the cooperative in the middle seems to be. Probably victims of COVID. This is not a terrible neighborhood.
After flapping and running along the water for a bit and not getting airborne it gave up and dove under the surface. Must have been embarrassed with a boat load of people watching.
I had high hopes for this Monarch larva to make it to the next stage of metamorphosis, but alas, it ran out of gas I guess and failed to complete the pupa construction. It's a very sad image and I thought hard about posting it, but in the end I guess I wanted to show exactly how challenging, fragile and dear the full life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to butterfly really is. If you need orientation, it's hanging by the butt end. There are still a number of larvae chomping away, and a few have headed up the garage wall to hang in the eves. Honestly, I'll be thrilled if my perfect pupa I posted yesterday makes it.

One of the latest electrification projects in Poland, before the communism finally collapsed, was that of the line between Piła and Krzyż, in fact a fragment of famous Ostbahn line. I suppose further plans would enhance the electrification to Gorzów and finally Kostrzyn at the German border, but let's focus on this very part, that would logically close another electrificated parallel connection East - West.
The concept not only materialized on drawing boards, but first works started, and soon ended as the situation in Poland changed rapidly after 1989 and all that remained were these poles installed for catenary, just outside of Piła in direction of Krzyż. Anyway, they were there for several years, as I don't know whether they're sill there.
It's not the end of the story, as the idea comes every couple of years. Actually there're some design works and it's said that thanks to EU funds the electrification, at least from Piła to Krzyż, would take place in the second half of 2020s.
And the picture: SU45-221 with evening regional passenger train no. 3322 from Kostrzyn to Piła Główna, before reaching the terminus. It passes precisely Powodowo Prefabet junction (the switch is just after the last wagon). May 1, 2003.

Jeden z ostatnich jeszcze komunistycznych projektów elektryfikacyjnych dotyczył odcinka Ostbahny między Piłą i Krzyżem, co sensownie uzupełniałoby zelektryfikowany ciąg Kutno - Toruń - Bydgoszcz - Piła - Krzyż i otwierałoby dalsze możliwości nad kontynuacją do Gorzowa i w końcu Kostrzyna.
Projekt wyszedł nawet z fazy projektowej, bowiem znakiem pierwszych prac elektryfikacyjnych są te słupy, widoczne na fotce. Na zdjęciu co prawda widzimy tylko dwa - ostatnie, ale jest ich dużo więcej w kierunku Piły. Jest, albo było, bowiem zdjęcie z 1 maja 2003 roku, a po tym czasie tematu nie zglębiałem, więc może w końcu słupy zdemontowano.
Temat elektryfikacji tego odcinka jest wciąż żywy, aktualnie trwają kolejne fazy projektowe i mówi się, że drut zawiśnie na tym odcinku Ostbahnu jeszcze w drugiej połowie lat 2020.
Na fotce SU45-221 z pociągiem osobowym 3322 z Kostrzyna do Piły Głównej, tuż przed końcem podróży. Pociąg właśnie minął posterunek bocznicowy szlakowy Powodowo Prefabet (rozjazd ledwie widoczny za ostatnim wagonem).

One wheel of the one lift that gives access to Grands Montets ski resort broke down yesterday.. A bunch of ski tourers (incl. me…) took advantage…
