Fontein op het Plönlein in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

 

Rothenburg ob der Tauber zou als inspiratiebron gediend hebben voor Walt Disney toen hij de tekenfilm Pinokkio maakte. (1940)

Rothenburg an der Tauber served as Walt Disney's source of inspiration for the Zeichentrickfilm Pinocchio. (1940)

this is probably the tiniest rose you've ever seen...the rabbit is only 2,8 cm high : )

 

Ricevere un testimonial da cris è un grande onore! E’ bravissima ed attivissima, se non ci credete andate a visitare il suo stream e curiosando non dimenticatevi di guardare con attenzione le foto della mostra che ha fatto recentemente (un esempio? eccolo) … strepitose sia nella realizzazione che nell’idea!

A testimonial from cris is a big honor for me! She is very skilled and so active, if you don’t believe me please go and visit her stream and do not forget to give a look at her recent personal exhibition (a photography as an example? here) … great both in production and concept!

For today's dog walk I decided to go to the wind farm and get some misty photos of the wind turbines, you can usually see them from quite a distance away but it was so misty that I couldn't even see them when I was stood right next to them. I have two versions of this photo this one and one without the dog took me a while to decide which one to put on here.

Metroline TEH2075 (LK15CSF) on route 16 at Victoria at 27/01/2018

 

Very often at Cricklewood, 'standard' buses stand in for the New Bus for London vehicles on route 16, with the Enviro400 MMCs often being what's chosen

 

TEH2075 is seen departing Victoria on the homebound journey on the route.

 

The Enviro400 MMC was launched in 2014 while the New Bus for London was launched in 2012.

I don't know if you heard, but, Madge, a lovely flickr member and wonderful photographer passed away this past December. I was heartbroken to hear the news. She was always a bright light in the flickr world and her zest for arranging, capturing and sharing the beautiful things in and around her home was always inspiring. She was a master of still life and delightful puns and I will miss her dearly. If you know Madge, I am sure you felt the same and, if you didn't, head on over to her stream now www.flickr.com/photos/mytimeflickrcom/ . it is pure delight.

- what do you do for living ?

 

Within conversations i have with others; this, above all else, is one of the questions

i despise the most. Not that i would be ashamed to answer it, but it's just too much to ask. Regardless it's true purpose, regardless the great amount of contradictions, it involves. i don't like that... and yet, this could be an answer.

to live content with small means

to seek elegance rather than luxury

and refinement rather than fashion

to be wealthy not rich

to listen to stars and birds

babes and sages with open heart

to study hard

to think quietly

act frankly

talk gently

await occasions, hurry never

in a word to let the spiritual unbidden

and unconscious

grow up through the common

this is my symphony

 

- william henry channing

 

I've been yearning for simple. I'm paying extra attention to the beauty in the every day. These flowers sit on my kitchen sink tonight. They're a gift from Ivy. The image is a gift for my Mama.

Mixed feelings when I see pups for sale in the street, good they aren't roaming the streets and will probably find a home. Bad to me is the breeding for profit by breeders, who only care about producing puppies that look fit enough to sell. Bacolod City, Philippines.

Tétouan is famed for its fine craftsmanship and musical delicacy and has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the area of Crafts and Folk Art since 2017. Its cultural heritage is the product of the interaction between different cultural influences throughout centuries. It is mainly characterized by its Andalusian style and way of living but both Berber, Jewish and Colonial Spanish influences are present too.

The streets are fairly wide and straight, and many of the houses belonging to aristocratic families, descendants of those expelled from Al-Andalus by the Spanish Reconquista, possess marble fountains and have groves planted with orange trees. Within the houses and riads the ceilings are often exquisitely carved and painted in Hispano-Moresque designs, such as are found in the Alhambra of Granada, and the tile-work for which Tetuan is known may be seen on floors, pillars and dados. The city has seven gates which were closed at night up until early 20th century. Many Sufi Zawiyas are scattered inside the walled old city.

For my flickr friends , Wishing you a wonderful new week .

用餐時桌上的小品,讓我不自覺拿起相機拍下,願此亮麗可愛花朵帶給您清新美好的一週.

For Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Ritual.' Every morning early Wiki and I walk together down the street and into the field that surrounds where we live. We go at her speed and mostly I follow her and pause when she pauses, notice what see sees and every single day I see something new. We've been doing this for almost two years and there's a large set of photos in 'Walking With Wiki'

 

Today was the first time I laid down in the field to watch her. She thought it was all wrong and worried about me until I was up on my feet again.

 

my 352 nd image to make it into Explore. Many many thanks to everyone.

Dear G, there will be always someone playing for you!

EXCELLENCE IN COLOUR IS BACK!

 

Barbara's wonderful group has been hibernating for a couple of weeks but she's invited me to take it on for a while. It is, in my opinion, the best, high quality colour group in FlickrLand so I'd better not screw it up :-) Excellent images with great use of colour and super composition - that's the aim.

 

The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures. (Frenand Leger)

I had to find something to thank Lynne for the beautiful testimonial she wrote for me. And since it's still Monday Blues, and I love hydrangeas (dead or alive), I thought I'd upload this for her.

Thanks so much Lynne, and anyone who doesn't already follow her stream, be sure and take a look!

It's actually snowing out again today, mixture of hail and snow.......I just know Spring is right around the corner though. Till then, I guess I'll just have my dead hydrangeas to look at.

For those not in the North West of England, we're taking a bit of a pasting from a storm at the moment. I've been relaxing, catching up on some jobs, listening to iTunes & watching a bit of TV. Apart from breakfast and evening meal, I've barely been out of my room.

 

Today, a bit stir crazy, I thought I'd have a wander down to the cafe on the corner. The weather appeared to have improved, the sun even broke through. By the time I'd put my jacket on and posed for a few photos, then got to the front door, the gale had returned and it was hammering it down with rain again! I stood there for a few moments while I decided that a coffee in my room will be fine!

 

February was lovely, March has been awful!

One of several attempts shooting with a jeweller's eye-piece as a lens. I'm sure there were more productive ways of spending an afternoon but I was curious and got interested ... one for Dee.

Nothing, just a fun shot... lol

It was a souvenir mug given by her.

Honestly, I don't like it because i don't like her !!!

Why I'm using it?

Well, I'm on diet and using it means losing my appetite.

I feel so bored and lazy right now.

I recently met, via Flickr, a wonderful woman from Australia that some of you already know. Her name is Bec :-) and yesterday she introduced an exceptional painting by her son, Micah. Micah is a six year old boy with profound autism. Micah's Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece whether you regard the work as that from a boy with autism, from a six year old or simply from a human being.

 

Her post yesterday reminded me of a passage in a book I read recently titled The Reason I Jump by author Naoki Higashida. Naoki has high functioning autism. The book offers insight into a bewildering and perplexing condition. I have been waiting for the right moment to post this and Micah’s delightful work reminded me of Naoki’s exceptional work.

 

The following is an excerpt from his book:

 

Q45: Why do you enjoy going out for walks so much?

 

My guess is that lots of people with autism like walking, and I wonder if you can work out why. “Because walking makes you feel good?” “Because it’s great being out in the open air?” Both these replies are true, of course, but for me the number one reason is that us people with autism love the greenness of nature. Now you might be thinking, “Oh, is that all?” However, our fondness for nature is, I think, a little bit different from everyone else’s. I’m guessing that what touches you in nature is the beauty of the trees and the flowers and things. But to us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re ignored and pushed away by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts.

 

The greenness of nature is the lives of plants and trees. Green is life. And that’s the reason we love to go out for walks.

  

I like it this way.

 

Yes, this is camera shot 100%.

Dream home in the sky! From the St. Albert Botanic Park - great evening with some Flickr friends!

Happy Caturday and Happy New Year !

Sorry for low activity, but I had to go to the sea yesterday. It is so hot in my apartment. I do everything I can to keep the sun and hot air outside, but I have 29 c indoors!!!!!!! :( Outside it is still 30-33 C.

 

I got a good advice from one of my friends on Flickr to have wet clothes on my body, and plastic on the floor .

Oh what I laughed when I read these tips. I saw in front of me a crazy old lady, with wet dresses, dropping water and leaving a wet mark on the floors where ever she walked.

But I took it a bit easier, have damp, non-dripping towels over my feet when sitting at the computer and a similar towel around the shoulders. This keeps me pretty cool.

 

Have a nice Friday!!

I want to dedicate this picture to my wonderful friend, Any

I'm thinking of you. You're in my heart, in my thoughts.

  

 

happy weekend, dear friends!

thank You soo much for Your kindness!

Apologies for another extended absence. Busy, busy.

 

I don't do many portraits, really; just helping out Chloe who was up against a yearbook deadline. Charlie came along to 'assist' and provide comic relief. His hour-long stand-up routine won me a bunch of genuine smiles.

 

Nikkor 135mm F2 DC: This got a little dreamy with the defocus control out of alignment by a few stops. Was that on purpose? Sure okay.

 

Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...

Not done this for a while. trying a dress on in store.

a couple of reasons for this. one, we don't have that many high street stores anymore

two, the ones we do have don't have much I like in them and three all the fuss around wo.en only spaces has taken the shine of a pleasant experience. due to never knowing when someone will kick off.

and bri gs me nicely to thos experience.

I walks into the changing room to be confronted with a massive .. "behave girls it's not what you think" a massive room with cubicles around the outside and big searing area in the centre with a very big mirror.

Well I go and get changed and hear someone else come in.

I take no notice other than to realise she has a friend with her.

anyway I decide I want to flaunt myself infront of the big mirror and so left my cubicle to go an use the mirror. as I look to my right I see a guy sitting down giving his partner advice on her outfit.

so what went through my head was. so much for women only safe spaces and in all truth it didn't matter that he was sat there because we all had our own changing area.

Happiness shared is the flower .

Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!
