Spring thaw finally!

I believe that the Flickr community is for sharing and it is not my intention that this photo comes with no information. The reason that none is shown is that I have edited it in Photoshop and have not learned how to save or export the photo with what is equivalent to the EXIF file that is saved in LrC. None of the Adobe info websites or instructional videos that I have viewed seemed to have helped. If there is a way to do that, kindly let me know. Much appreciated.

getting back to the garden (again ;-)

Another favourite photograph taken by a visiting friend, a wonderful photographer, in winter 2018, and processed by me this week.

The image posted below in the first comment box is also from the series of images taken by my friend during winter 2018.

Sorry about the previous confusing intro!!! :-( Tho I wish I could perform the magic editing imagined... it's beyond me.

Last winter (2019) there was an abundance of wild food and it was also a very mild winter.. so no birds needed feeding here. This year there is real winter... and to my amazement, after 20 months away, the silvereyes returned.. and remembered me. Well... they remembered peanut butter ;-) On their first day back some even nibbled it from my fingers. Now they come to meet me. The brave ones land on my hand to eat, the clever ones find the peanut butter jar in my other hand :-) On the first day one jumped repeatedly on my head but not at all since. Another landed on my lens barrel, looked me straight in the eye, and told me to get on to more important things :-)

here's to patience, trust and peanut butter

happy free from fences friday ;-)

A pair of Ring Necked Ducks are on the move during a March snowfall.

I normally would shoot these BIF shots at a higher shutter speed, but these went from relatviely static subjects to fast moving ones very quickly and with the overcast low-light conditions I was shooting with, I was only at 1/500 and didn't have time to adjust. I honestly found the blur in the wings helped in conveying the element of movement though in the image.

Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!

There are times to be in motion

flowing with life's dance,

and there are times to be absolutely still

and silent.

Still flowing in life's dance but to a different tempo.

My partner and I had another chance meeting with a couple of young men who came over to fuss our dogs.

I love these random interactions.

As we talked, another man started skating on the central paved area which looks something like a modern day amphitheatre.

I asked the men if this was the same man who sometimes dances on his skateboard here (who I'd really like to photograph), and they knew in an instant who I was talking about.

'Ah no, that'll be crazy Chris.'

They then shouted over to the skater who introduced himself as Jimski A very amiable character who agreed to me photographing him as he breezed effortlessly around the circle.

A different view the complicated tree from a few days ago. I was taken by the implied motion of the tree as if it was gliding across the woodland floor. Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.

Saw this duck flying over the water, hit by the morning sun. Got sharp focus on that eye, but the shutter speed was slow for the wing motion (ducks flap fast, due to those small wings relative to their weight). Still, kinda liked the effect!

Swallowtails are notoriously challenging to shoot because they're in almost constant fluttering motion. But their four wing parts actually move separately, with the forward wings moving the most. So it you focus on the back wings it's possible to capture both their gorgeous color and the lovely flow of their forward wings. This is an Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes asterius).

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Motion. A happy couple driving their special-ordered Viva Magentamobile. What do you think they are saying? HMMM!

Watch your step when you walk to me

Careful where your heart treads

Suddenly you'll be in too deep

You'll be caught up in my web

You will think of me constantly

It'll drive you insane

Like the tattoo you can't remove

Like the blood in your veins
