I’d love to write something beautiful and meaningful to complement this image and though this photo speaks volumes and shares an encouraging story with me, I’m not really able to write any words to do it justice. So I will try to let this image speak for itself.
I had been struggling a lot with a physical health condition which I had a procedure for and ended up having some unexpected health problems after the procedure. All of this was interrelated with the effects of trauma I’ve experienced and activated and intensified the overwhelming, disturbing, deeply troubling effects of trauma. It was incredibly challenging due to the physical and emotional symptoms and I managed to spend a few minutes outside just under 2 weeks after the procedure. I was so surprised and encouraged to see this refreshing sight on the porch steps. I could relate to the darkness hanging so strongly overhead and within—I’d been experiencing a lot of this. And the heart I saw in the light was a beautiful reminder of God’s love for me, that He sees me, and is with me in these incredibly intense and difficult moments that feel like too much for me to survive.

Once or twice a year, I bring out my oldest equipment to ensure everything still works. There's no reason for it not to work, but taking a pic or two is the best way to find out. So, I headed to the backyard today with my Fuji X-Pro1 camera (2011), Pentax SMC 50mm manual lens (1970s), and a Fotodiox lens adapter. From the result, I'm thinking I should take this gear out more often.
Ende Oktober ist für viele Hotels die Saison zu Ende. Wir waren für einige Tage im Ort Amoudara untergebracht. Er liegt ca. 6 km westlich von Heraklion. Hier zu sehen ein Teil des Hotelstrandes. Der Wind war leider sehr kräftig, aber an geschützten Örtchen, mit Lektüre in der Hand war es in der Sonne sehr angenehm.
End of season on Crete (Greece)
The end of October is the end of the season for many hotels. We stayed in Amoudara for a few days. It is located about 6 km west of Heraklion. Here you can see part of the hotel beach. The wind was unfortunately very strong, but in sheltered places, with a book in hand, it was very pleasant in the sun.
A single white crocus growing from the dark earth, lit up by the sun, the shadow of its stamen can be seen through petals. Buttercup leaves are in focus in the opposite corner of the image.
Getting down low in the dew of the morning really gets the bokeh popping! This was shot wide open at f0.95. There’s a bit of chromatic aberration but that’s expected when shooting almost directly towards the sun. If I stopped down to f1.2 or f1.4 it almost disappeared entirely - but I also lost the smoothness of the bokeh as it started to take the shape of the aperture opening.
This is the most basic version of the Kodak Tourist. It has a fixed focus Kodet f12.2 lens and a Kodon shutter (2 blade) with a fixed shutter speed of 1/50th of a second.

I’ve had a terrible ailment that I would not wish upon my worst enemy… finally getting over the worst pain of it today. I laid out on our trampoline in the backyard this morning and captured this beauty! In Arizona October showers bring in November flowers and other spontaneous growth. We basically have two springs.
This ain’t the Cooke Kinic… but it’s another favorite of mine, the Jupiter 37a 135mm f3.5. I just forget to change in camera and I swap lenses all the time…
Anyhow, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I find it difficult to discern size when all is submerged but their eyes and snout tip. Of note however is the smaller ones swim away.
This was brought to my attention by one of frighteningly large proportions. Upon my arrival it promptly ended it’s leisurely sunning activities and lunged into the water. However, instead of quickly swimming away like I had previously been accustomed those barely visible eyes and snout tip started to float slowly towards me.
The one in this photograph was simply large…
A rather severe 8:5 crop from a ~427,9MP 360° IR panorama, yet still 62,4MP, with the classic 720nm development, white foliage and blue sky.
I just realized that a lot of my photos depict some kind of fence.. 📷
If you like, you can find a monochrome version of a wider crop of the same panorama here:

Or a picture of the same line of tree, but on the visible spectrum and under rather different conditions here:
