So, those of you who know me, know that I often wander off in the woods and hills for hours on end camera in hand. Unfortunately on this occasion I made every mistake imaginable, wrong kit, kit missing, wrong settings and rushing to catch the light.
At first glance, you may think I’m crazy. The image looks decent enough right? Look closer and I’ll list everything that went wrong with this excursion.
1 - Wrong lens. I have been working with one focal length lately as an exercise to improve composition. This scene would have been so much better on a wide angle, but I only had a 40mm Macro lens with me.
2 – No tripod. I decided to pack light one camera, one lens, no tripod. I normally take a full bags worth of kit on a hike
3 – I shot in Jpg instead of Raw. The previous night I had decided to check the shutter count on my Nikon D7200. For some reason this only works 9only ways I have found to do this) is to upload a jpg to an online service that can then tell you. Foolishly I forgot to change back to Raw before I went out the next day!
4 - Rushing the shot. As it was getting on in the afternoon, the sun was dropping really quickly. I was already on my way out of the woods when i spotted the scene. With the combination of falling light and wrong lens, I rushed to get an image as quickly as I could
While there’s nothing wrong with shooting in jpg format. It really doesn’t leave a lot of editing doors open for a final image. Especially when shooting directly into the sun in a scene like this one. So, I decided to publish this as to always remind me to check and double check everything in the future.
I'e decided I will be writing a blog post to go into more detail about my "faux pas" later this week
"Know One"
Now it's clear they live without me
I'm not sure the stars align
They just fear that it's not easy
The stage is empty all the time
The world feels different when you're crazy
Make it work and sing the lines
And their ego fascinates me
We all pray to stay alive
I don't wanna fix it
I don't wanna fix it
I will never turn back time, no
I can't change the way they look at me, look at me
I won't show you what you'll never see, never see
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
Waste the life I dedicated
On the five I turn the page
I'm not so confident to argue
I won't miss you every day
I don't wanna fix it
I don't wanna fix it
I will never turn back time, no
I can't change the way they look at me, look at me
I won't show you what you'll never see, never see
In my eyes, in my eyes
It takes one to know one, right?
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
I will never lie awake again
Dreaming I'm alone
I won't let the voices in my head
Drown the pain I've grown
I can't change the way they look at me, look at me
I won't show you what you'll never see, never see
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
I can't change the way they look at me, look at me
I won't show you what you'll never see, never see
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die
In my eyes, in my eyes
They just let your heroes die

I know it's difficult... ;P
He's been curled up...mostly completely under all the covers, since 7am.
I was folding laundry all morning, and doing chores, and he just stayed there.
I don't think he's very fond of cold, wet weather. He was sitting by the floor
heat vents this morning, when I invited him up on the couch - he likes :)
All I feel is emptiness here...
searching for what you want me to say...
I'm terrified of their eyes when they stare...
this loneliness won't go away...
I've realized nothing I do feels right...
lost in my head and out of sight...
dreaming of the day when I leave...
and what the world has left for me ... Nobody knows who I am...
I've got intentions of gold..
with my plans...
Lights flash and we'll run for the fences
Let them say what they want, we won't hear it
Loose lips sink ships all the damn time
Not this time
You know the saying......
"Work with what you've got"
Well here in Hartlepool I have no Glencoe mountains. No Harris beaches.
But what I do have is the well captured Steetley pier.
Trying to find something a little different after all these years, is becoming increasingly difficult
But hey, I love a challenge
So off we set last night back down to our usual haunt.
I'd expected it to be busy, due the warm weather, which usually brings out people in their hoards.
Not the greatest of evenings
Doesn't it annoy when those who come decide to leave their bags full of rubbish.
Idiot folk setting light to things, so the local Fire Service need to attend
Then two foul mouthed youths decided it was fun to walk not past but onto the posts I was stood photographing
Sadly a sign of the times we live in now
But hey, I spotted this reflection under the pier which appeared to show a little more of the underside and due to the low tide, it's the section furthest into the sea
Yes, I know, they look the same every year, but what can I say, I love grapes ! :) About the grapes in this photo I mainly like the colour, a rather unusual shade of blue for grapes. There is also a wasp in this photo but I only saw the insect on my computer screen when I enlarged the picture.
You will see some more photos of grapes on my photostream in the next weeks but I will try to restrain myself.:)

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows..
Leonard Cohen
Yeah, we know. We're a little late this year ;)

I know most of you seem to prefer the coloured version when I post both, but the B&W is for my 365 project, which I have decided to do entirely in B&W (apart from one blue one...) - it is a challenge to get the conversion looking just so!! I am enjoying myself with this project! 365project.org/peterscherub2/365

I know it hurts
It's hard to breathe sometimes
These nights are long
You've lost the will to fight
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
Is anybody out there?
Tell me it'll all be alright
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you
I will carry you
I know you can't remember how to shine
Your heart's a bird without the wings to fly
Is anybody out there?
Can you take this weight of mine?
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you

You know the words "once upon a time"
Make you listen, there's a reason
When you dream there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're a harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice
: Single voice
Above the noise
And like a common thread
Hmm, you're pulling me
When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
You are the music in me
It's like I knew you before we met
Can't explain it
There's no name for it
I sang you words I've never said
And it was easy
Because you see the real me
As I am you understand
And that's more than I've ever known
To hear your voice
Hear your voice
Above the noise
And I know that I'm alone
Oh, you're singing to me
Ooh, yeah
When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Together we're gonna sing, yeah
We got the power to say what we feel
Troy: Connected and real
Can't keep it all inside, oh yeah
Troy: Ooh, yeah
It's brought us here because
You are the music in me

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
All I know is that this is the husk of a tropical nut. I had the privilege of visiting a wide range of tropical forests earlier in life and this was a nut I found beneath a tree during one of those visits. It must be about 30 years old and you can still hear the nut rattling around inside. Please comment with any ideas if you recognise what husk it might be. It's about 60mm (2-1/2 inch) in its maximum dimension. Strange how one hangs on to these small mementos! Maybe I should plant or open it!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
I assume this is a rooftop restaurant, but I don't know. I just liked the lights reflecting on the water tanks.. Maybe my NYC friends might know the name of it. Photo taken at 28th and 6th.
I know not another 1 but its a blackcap.Taken years but finally a male out of the shrubs.
The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK.

Thanks to everyone that takes the time and makes the effort to comment and fave my pics its very much appreciated

I know this is corny but I love Christmas. It is such a magical time of the year. I know some would disagree with me. Their argument, it is crowded, commercialized and people are cranky. Perhaps.....but, everything is in perspective. Let me explain....yes, I have been alone and sad on Christmas. I have felt times where buy buy buy commercials have frustrated me. Moments where if I got hit by one more person and their rushing cart, that I might lose it. Trust me, I too have been there. But I started to realize, I could either focus on the bad, or the good. Instead of wallowing in self pity because I am alone on Christmas, I can instead go to the local church parish or nursing home and see if anyone needs anything. Someone else is surely lonely too and needs a tender word or a small gift to cheer them. When we see past our own circle around us we tend to see things a little differently. You can truly have your own "Christmas Carol" experience if you only soften your heart. Allow the real magic of Christmas to envelope you this year, see where it takes you. It will be an adventure you won't soon forget.

There are people who speak ill of the fog of Milan. I don't know that of the other countries, but this in Milan is a great fog, nice, affectionate, friendly. Allow everything like a caress. And then it seems to me that the fog invites to intimacy, optimism, confidence.
This is a movie about a woman and a fish
This is a movie about the dramatic relationship between woman and fish.
Woman stands between life and death
Woman thinks
horse thinks
sheep think
cow thinks
dog thinks
fish don't think
Pisces silent, expressionless
Fish don't think, because fish knows everything
fish knows everything

"Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?"
(Stop this train - John Mayer)
As you know it’s rare for me to post a black and white photo as I usually find myself thinking that the colour version is so much prettier. Then there’s the other reason- can’t possibly post that B&W version as there’s so many of the you post far superior monochrome images. But sometimes it’s just worth trying at least I suppose, so this is a B&W image of the bluebells that I posted a few weeks ago. I did find it quite interesting though that the blue turned white.

“Why do we fall?
Why must we flow?”,
I asked.
She said,
in her lilting chortle’s stead
“I know. Yeah, I know.”
PS: If four of your minutes need killing, here is an account of the unusual hike to this waterfall.
I know in some countries flowers are blooming already, but here is the same old and beautiful winter.
Waiting forward for spring, but in the meanwhile a photo of today's walking. Night temperature in this weekend will be -22°C, but days are sunny and beautiful.
I know this man
Who is dear to my heart
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart
This man taught me everything
That I needed to know
But I never really listened
Until he had to go
He gave me love
And touched my life
It's all over now
He no longer has to fight
He tried to teach me
Right for wrong
The day he left
I wasn't that strong
He is gone now
It is hard to believe
This man is my dad
Who I will never see
But I will see him again
This I know
The day will come
When it's time for me to go
So, I'll hold him dear
And close to my heart
Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart.
I know this is not the best shot because of the comp. I was on a backstreet in Woodstock ON and saw this and shot it quickly. Cool huh?

I know! It’s that time a year again when the bonnets are out in force, as a flower I regard them as a weed, but as a subject for a photo or 50 I love them. There are a couple growing up through a garden bench, this is one of them, expect a few more photos in due course. Thanks for stopping
I know that the cracks in this asphalt appeared before the plants poked their green stems up to the sunlight. However, I do appreciate how small plants will appear through concrete sidewalks and asphalt. The roots of the plant will take advantage of existing microscopic cracks. New cell growth takes place at the tips of plant roots. As the root system grows and develops, these tips act as feelers, seeking out the path of least resistance for expansion.
Did you know that Pine Siskins can survive in very cold temperatures? The metabolic rates of this species are typically 40% higher than a "normal" songbird. When temperatures plunge as low as -70 degrees C or -94 degrees F, they can accelerate that rate up to five times normal for several hours! (CornellLab)
