粋 Iki (The Fantastic In The Familiar)
View allAll Photos Tagged Familiar,
Some days we feel somewhere in between, neither here nor there. Wanting to leave familiar grounds, but hesitant of what lies ahead. All storms eventually pass and in time we find the courage we need to move on.

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.

Thank you so much for all the support and be well! 😊
It’s always nice to take a photo of a song sparrow. These birds are everywhere and each one is just a little bit different. A rich, russet-and-gray bird with bold streaks down its white chest, the Song Sparrow is one of the most familiar North American sparrows. Yet every time we see one it is a treat.

Christmas beads and bells supply the bokeh! 3 angles of light. Less than 5cm / 2in.
Thank you for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HMM
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.

Always good to be able to reach that itch in the middle of you back.
It measures 30 mm across.
Happy Macro Monday!
Steve and I had a trip out at the weekend, the first in a while, we headed to Kintail and the Glenelg peninsula. We stopped at this often photographed viewpoint to take a quick couple of snaps and decided it was a good place to have lunch before continuing down to Glenelg and beyond.
“Reflection can transform something familiar.” - Diane L. Dunton
Are other people struggling to find creative compositions and new ideas for photography while being limited to where we can travel? Luckily, the light and calm waters were in my favor when capturing this swan at our local park. I did have time to reflect more on my photography during my first year of retirement. I have also done reflecting on who I am now that I am no longer needed by anyone right now. I can be myself more and take time to reflect on many things. I feel like I have made a comfortable transformation into my new life. Maybe, a little like the Ugly Duckling did. :) Happy Wing Wednesday!
What's this?
The shape of the object is key to guess it... Any idea ? :-)
Size of the object's part photographed = 1.6 cm
