I was so lucky to get this shot , a few days ago I went out onto my balcony and the Sun was just before setting, the light of which was beaming across the plants and that's when I noticed a small patch of moss with those little extremities, where the light was actually now illuminating them, they looked like miniature organic street lamps.

With literally minutes to get it together, I first tried using the Tamron with the Raynox but it was a little too close at 70mm, so I then tried the Nikkor 55-200mm again with the Raynox and brought down the ISO to achieve the glow without blowing out the detail. It was a little tricky as the lens was balanced on the side of the pot to get the angle achieved.

Anyway, I think I got there in the end!

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Chinese Lantern Festival, Philadelphia

Swung by the Chinese Lantern Festival in Philadelphia; it opened on April 21st and will run until June - well worth checking out if in the vicinity. Will post a few more later.

Crazy Tuesday London. Leadenhall Market.

We raise them, we light them and then we cover them.

Such is tradition.

Even though it's such a beautiful sight, these red lanterns, there's always something quite sombre, in my opinion about them. Much like life, it just takes a little light to open up a whole new world.

A cold, frosty, foggy morning. Just the sort of winter weather I like. Warm and cosy indoors. We did walk into town after breakfast - wrapped up for the weather. Keep warm or cool wherever you are on this beautiful planet of ours xxx
