Hi Five! Congrats on your awesome work! Hope the yardwork on such a hot and humid day wasn’t too tough. Great job!
After many years of searching, I finally caught Peter Rabbit in my garden, with the annual sorting of Easter eggs, starting with pink & blue.
The world needs more love and more kindness. We’d like to see your take on the theme ‘Share’ for this week’s Flickr Friday challenge. Add the tag #Share and #FlickrFriday to your photo and submit it to the group by Thursday afternoon. We’ll publish a gallery of our favorites and put them on the Flickr Blog.

The #FlickrFriday #Arches challenge
Although apparently part obscured by a bank formed by a bend in its river, this bridge is actually redundant. It appears that the path of the river it used to cross was altered to create a mill race, a fast flowing artificial stream, fed by an existing river, which would turn a mill wheel. There is a bricked up arch beneath the path out of shot to the right and a trench behind it which appears to be the old mill race bed. The bridge now crosses nothing, its arch almost filled in.
The photo was taken using a 10 stop neutral density filter and a polariser to accentuate the blue sky and to smooth out reflections in the river, allowing a 30 second exposure during daylight. A second out of focus shot was taken because I used this week's homework as an excuse to experiment with The Orton Effect, a concept created by Michael Orton. The idea is to create a dreamlike atmosphere, achieved by combining a sharp photo with an unfocused one of the same scene.
In the 1980s Orton had to combine and mask slides and transparencies. These days Photoshop's layers lend themselves to this effect when applied with an elliptical marquee tool with a 450px feather in this case, and layer mask used together to select the required area of sharp focus, the feathering used to avoid an abrupt change from focus to blur. The unfocused layer was also separately substantially dehazed to accentuate the effect.
Not much sun around on the Morecambe Promenade this evening, but there was a sunburst of a sunset painted on.a sealed-up kiosk. The mural, one of many by Bespoke Atelier (2017) was recently repaired by Deco Publique, and the text changed, after a graffiti attack. The cormorants in the background on either side of the building are also public art - they are metal sculptures by Brian Fell as part of the TERN Project.
When nothing worries you and happiness lifts you up high above the clouds. That is the right feeling to say that we are light as a feather.
Take your shot today or in the coming days and submit it to the group for a chance to be featured on FlickrBlog next Friday.

The amazing star pyramid, built in 1863 as a monument to those who suffered religious and social intolerance in Scotland.
This week for Flickr Friday we're on the look out for #Imperfection. Take a photo of something imperfect and showcase that little flaw, quirk, or difference that gives something character. Be sure to tag your photo #Imperfection and submit it to the Flickr Friday group pool. We're looking forward to seeing your interesting shots and unique perspective!

Catch that piece of hose or I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Worse, human will get it before me.

One of my teachers did two tours of Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot. During a mission he was shot in the foot with the bullet shown above. He received the Purple Heart award for being wounded during combat.
Thank you, Chad, for your service and your courage.
The #FlickrFriday #NewBeginning challenge
Green shoots, which in about three months will reveal themselves to be bluebells, spring from the leaf litter in ancient woodland.

Cozy - Mr. Sock Monkey looks very cozy with his cup of tea, snuggled under his favourite quilt, even though he is feeling a little under the weather.
These eyes can see through everything!
Not to get super meta, but I purposefully framed this so you could see the camera in my eye. I did this because I always find it interesting how people look at a picture and think "whoa! great picture!" but never really think too much about the person behind the camera. Well, in this image, you can "See Through" this invisible barrier and see who's actually taking the picture -- Me!!
Break the limit of our own body, and do things others could not do. Everyone dreams to be a superman.
Take your best photo for the theme #Superman for this week's #FlickrFriday, and share it in the FlickrFriday group pool. We will feature our favorites in the flickr blog by next Friday.

I'm keeping a diary of sunrises:
About every other day, I shoot the view from my window and collect the pics in a gallery here: Views from my window and the few that made "explore"
