Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my world daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is: not a real one. As you can see, my picture isn’t a picture of a real egg or a real bird. Everything you see in this picture is not a real one for sure. Even the laws of gravity aren’t real in this picture… Despite it being all fake, I really had a great time taking this picture !! So I hope you will like it for real !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
I will try to catch up on answering all your awesome comments as soon as possible !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts.
A few years ago my oldest grandson and I were down at the lake and I pointed out two Spoonbills to him, my grandson said, quite correctly, "No Grannie, they are Royal Spoonbills" :-))
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
There is very famous over photographed tree in New Zealand, this is not it. We had heard of this tree and while away for the weekend went on the hunt and found it.

Road Trip - Day #11
Shot for Utata's Iron Photographer project:
1. A simple box
2. something which does not belong in that box
3. black and white
Not even a mouse. (OK, maybe there was this one cat who was watching a little - in between naps.) ;-)
Not a very exciting bird but I love the colours in this image. Taken in Thule Bay on Stewart Island near the end of a long walk (well, long for me carrying my big lens). Such lovely colour saturation in New Zealand sometimes.

Two days ago I was out shooting pictures and I found a pond covered in brown scum. I snapped about 20 photos thinking it would look really artistic. There were trees framing the pond. Beautiful yet disgusting.
They came out “rubbish”, so I am posting two photos of sailboats in a local marina.
This one comes to Virginia all the way from the State of Washington on the West Coast.

Jojo Effect - Not With Me
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoFfDuNmZOg
I walk in the room
and the men stop to talk and to breathe
Women start to pinch them
and rail against me seriously
But it's not my fault,
I do nothing forbidden at all
But they stand in line,
try to snatch a glance
Oh no,
I'm not that kind of girl,
not with me!
They love how I lean
my head on my hands and sip my drink
How I throw my head back,
run my fingers through my hair
But I don't do it on purpose,
I behave decently
They throw themselves down
to my feet want to kiss them
Oh no,
what a waste of time,
not with me!
I drink too much gin
but don't pay a cent for it, no!
I secretly struggle against it
but then accept it
I don't want to fleece someone,
but allow them their pleasure
But if they expect something
for it they blunder
Oh no,
take a hike,
not with me!

...but a place to live...

A somewhat harsh juxtaposition to the royal beauty, lush- and lightness of my previous photos from the palace and the castle garden in my Charlottenburg Palace series. But believe it or not, this 1970s or '80s brutalism-style apartment house (and similar houses) can be found directly next to the castle grounds.
In the 1970s/'80s, what one might call a huge aberration in urban planning was about to take place: old, still of good substance, buildings from the early 20th century and the late 1900s were supposed to be taken down and replaced by tenement blocks.
This happened in many parts of West Berlin, and it had nothing to do with the reconstruction programme of the 1950s and '60s where simple building complexes were raised to make up for the destruction of WWII.
In the 1970s and '80s, the apartments in these old pre-war houses were often of a lower standard, unrenovated, many with stove heating from huge tiled stoves, and some still with outside toilets on the half landing, shared with the other tenants. Don't get me wrong, in my childhood, I lived in all three types of buildings, then modern 1970s residential complexes in the outskirts of West Berlin, a 1960s reconstruction programme house, and a pre-war house with huge tiled stoves (but luckily with our own bathroom/toilet), and all of it was perfectly OK. But the plans of the 1970s/'80s were about destroying huge areas of grown building substance in the middle of the city, and they would have changed the typical "face" of Berlin forever (as can be seen in those areas where the abovementioned plans were realised).
Luckily, people were not taking it, and resistance against those plans formed, culminating in a squatting movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This saved many of these old, grown areas in many parts of the city.
To those of you who actually made it to this point: thank you for reading ;) Now for the technical part: My photo is a bracketing HDR made of three images merged in HDR Efex, and further slid in Color Efex Pro and LR. The LX100 Mark II's dynamic range is a noticeable step up from the Mark I and the raised Megapixel count also offers a welcome boost in detail and crispness.
And now, I also managed to read out the shutter count of my pre-owned new-old LX100II (I first practiced getting into the camera's service mode on my LX100I). It only had 155 releases, so it is indeed "as good as new", and on the two photo walks I've used it since purchasing it in April I've already added about 600 shutter releases. Such a great little camera :)
HSS, everyone, and have a great new week spring/autumn week ahead!
Not in Katoomba though :) - it is in Prince Henry Heights near Toowoomba, QLD, Australia.
Balloon is an "artistic" feature inserted, butterfly is real :)
3 shots merged for this pano.
The eagle eyed of you may notice that I have already uploaded a photo of this Fiat. The last one was the rear view and included a bar which gave away the tourist location. This time I have hopefully avoided all signs of the tourist world in this photo taken in the UNESCO heritage listed city of Noto.
Not by any means but what it is, is MY home patch. We went along to go to our static caravan last weekend at the east coast so this is the North Sea. The sun sets inland obviously but i captured some warmth touching the groyne posts from the right so not casting my shadow. Jonathan myselves and our dogs rarely bump into anyone in October or November and I find the sea so relaxing. This was shot handheld with my little Fuji x100v to those who would knock this area, which many do then I would tell you it is one of the most relaxing places on earth....
Just yellow, not mellow. Captured on a trip to the East Coast in April 2017, with a Tamron 90mm/F2.8 macro lens.
Literally not in Japan, one of the best picture I have taken in January, maybe the best picture for this year

You’re Going Down
Song by Sick Puppies
Lyrics
Define your meaning of war
To me, it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more
Because I'm hyped up, out of control
If it's a fight, I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know
It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
Define your meaning of fun
Is it fuckin', druggin' or guns?
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one
Let's take a trip down memory lane (do you remember me?)
The words circlin' in my brain (look what you did to me)
You can treat this like another, all the same
But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain
It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
This is hardly worth fighting for
But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore
When my fist hits your face and your face hits the floor
It'll be a long time comin'
Bet you got the message now
'Cause I was never goin'
Yeah, you're the one that's going down
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is going down
One of us is going down
Down
Down
NS 1069 leads an eastbound manifest through Pittsburgh City’s famous “Trench” on the Pittsburgh Line. Unfortunately this train ran a week too early, and the trees were not ripe for fall foliage.
A Small White [Pieris rapae] on a Dock leaf. Not poular with gardeners but they have their own beauty!
The common name, Forget Me Not, comes from a German legend about a knight who died trying to get the flowers for his lover and called out with his last breath, “Forget me not!”. The Greek name, Myosotis, means mouse's ear because the oval, furry leaves resemble a mouse's ear.

Just like me :) Peyto Lake, a must see...it was a hike to get up here in the heat but worth it. Judging by my mail i thought it was time I poked my head up. This summer has been quite adventuresome to say the least. Most of the places i explored had no cell service, just the way i like it. Met some really interesting people along the way, Brits being high on the list as the nicest people....needless to say never a dull moment. This is exactly how i saw this lake. If you don't believe me there are plenty of images on google to look at. Couldn't be a more perfect day. The Alberta Rockies stir my soul and make me come undone like no other place on earth. Have a great weekend!!
Mid winter and I'm in shorts and tee shirt at the beach. Nice for taking photos but not sure it's a great sign in the scheme of things. Yes I did go for a paddle.
Always fun to shoot the neighbors' docks on either side of ours. I couldn't stay out long, however, as it has been terribly cold!
Don't Forget to check out the New Justice Top, Salvadori Shoes and go grab your March Powder Pack! There's still time left <3 Check out the full outfit and info HERE!

An early snow storm and cold spell surprised everyone and everything. These Dames Mantle leaves were still very much alive...but not for long.
Thank you for visiting my photostream and taking the time to view some of the images. Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated.
