粋 Iki (The Fantastic In The Familiar)
View allAll Photos Tagged Familiar,
Off the water and back to the woods to soak up some of the remaining color which is holding fairly well, especially given the strong winds we've had the last few days. I went out specifically to take a bunch of photos to upload into my "new friend," with the single and not unrealistic (I thought) hope of being able to find them...which I did, but not until after numerous wrong guesses as to where I thought they seemingly should be...like "Pictures."
By the way, I appreciate your support and tips re: my new desk top (not a laptop as some seem to have guessed), and it progresses slowly. I really don't use a computer for much other than my photos so I haven't even begun to tap the capabilities of this one...and am uncertain as to whether I will even try or not. What I would like to find is the 90% of my photos which did not appear with the others when I transferred them from the flash drive to the new computer. 10% are in fancy new folders...the rest unpleasantly invisible. Everything sees very hit and miss...mostly miss for now causing me to simply walk away from the computer and find other occupations. My learning curve and patience have both suffered with old age.

I had always loved seeing a photo of this tree in many of my contacts photostreams. I had never known where it was until James and I were wondering around Steptoe one night. I was so happy when I saw it even though I knew I couldn't do it justice. So here is my first attempt, and I am looking forward to photographing this tree next spring.
I recently bought this for the garden and learned they can grow into shrubs here in the tropics. Hopefully this one will thrive and make lots of flowers.

I love to cooperate in making pictures. The togetherness and the synergy.
With you Eli, it was a true pleasure. So easy to get ideas, to find the place, the mood ...all.
The fact the picture doesnt tell who is who, fits what we did This is us :)
Eli's beautiful version here ♥

The Familiar chat (Oenanthe familiaris), is a small passerine bird of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is a common resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara in rocky and mountainous habitat and around human habitation. This cheeky little bird came to join us for morning tea and happily accepted small offerings of food.
Happy Halloween and or Blessed Samhain.

* A familiar subject for me, its another image of the Humber Bridge taken from the South Bank of the River. The city of hull is on the North bank and can just be seen on the right of the image
I love to photograph the Humber Bridge which is two miles outside of Hull. Built in 1981 it is an architectural masterpiece With a centre span of 4,626 ft and a total length of 7,283 ft or 1.3 miles the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 17 years, until Japan's Akashi Kaikyō Bridge opened on 5 April 1998. Each tower consists of a pair of hollow vertical concrete columns, each 510 ft tall and tapering from20 ft square at the base to 14.8 ft at the top. The bridge is designed to tolerate constant motion and bends more than 10 ft in winds of 80 mph . The towers, although both vertical, are 1.4 inches farther apart at the top than the bottom due to the curvature of the earth.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

First time trying out my new camera in daylight sees me at Smardale this morning. Unfortunately the light wasn't quite as good for the cement so I'll have to tickle about with that one but the gypsum was nice at least. 66115 passes the small gallery of familiar faces at Smardale with the 6E97 Newbiggin-Tees gypsum.
I look at this and smile, in that ever bit of fellside and top, every bit of woodland you can see I've wandered or traversed ... still I seek out perhaps the odd carbuncle perhaps where I haven't been .. but struggle :))
With all the excitement of the new spring birds arriving, it is easy to take the familiar faces for granted. I truly enjoy watching the Cardinal couple in our backyard. Although I have not put a feeder out this spring, they still come to nibble on my suet that I had left over and they bathe in the bird bath under the budding Lilac tree. They whiz through the yard with such expertise. When they fly in, they fly low and barely skim the hedge. My husband wondered if they stay low because of their bright color. It may make them less visible to predators and give them quick access to cover if they need it. I just get ready to duck out of the way when they come.

Yes its a familiar scene, however, the seasons and the lighting are always changing - the light early yesterday morning was lovely and so is this scene. This is a stitched pano of 5 images, then enhanced, then touched in Photoshop - when I finished playing it was 1.8GB - thankfully the JPEG is smaller
