I only live 5 mins away from the heather moors of the South Pennines and, as it snowed yesterday, I thought I would try to grab a few shots of some Red Grouse today. I always think they look awesome in the snow.

Tune-Listen

Unfortunately only open in Summer

Sometimes dawn is too early even for plants

For "Looking close... on Friday!" the theme: "Bokeh Only".

I had fun playing with this theme... trying to make a photo of my little elephant made of blue and white beads standing on shiny green paper, both in bokeh.

This is the result, not completely satisfied though.

I wish I had had a Helios lens for this challenge (really love that bokeh, it gives), but I haven't... I guess that's life, isn't it?......dealing with what you got and still be happy and keep having dreams ;-))

Have a lovely start of your weekend and a very happy Friday ^_^

Enjoy the weekend and live for the moments you can't put into words.

Located only 135 km from Venice, this resort extends along the left bank of Lake Santa Caterina at around 900 metres above sea level.

Surrounded by forests and some of the most beautiful mountain massifs in the Dolomites – it is the only urban centre from which the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are visible.

SAPA Poses:

The Capelinhos lighthouse was inaugurated in 1903 and ceased to operate in 1957, when it was partially destroyed by the eruption of the Capelinhos Volcano, that started at sea, about 1200m from the lighthouse, but later moved closer, to just about 500m.

The building was hit by rocks (some with 300kg) and submerged in ash and cinders. Early in the 21st century an underground museum was built (Centro de Interpretação do Vulcão dos Capelinhos) and some works were undertaken to improve the stability of the building, creating conditions for it to be visited. Around it everything was destroyed by the eruption and people in the surrounding villages had to be evacuated.

The area you see to the right of the image is the result of the eruption. It didn’t exist in 1957. The eruption created an islet that kept growing during the 13months of volcanic activity and that finally connected through an isthmus to the Faial island.

Enya_Only Time

Who can say where the road goes?

Where the day flows? Only time

And who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose? Only time

Who can say why your heart sighs

As your love flies? Only time

And who can say why your heart cries

When your love lies? Only time

Who can say when the roads meet?

That love might be in your heart?

And who can say when the day sleeps

If the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose? Only time

And who can say where the road goes?

Where the day flows? Only time

Only in photography, water always goes downhill and finds a level.

Went for a walk looking for poppies yesterday. This field last year was full of them, but there are only a few stragglers there at the moment (they are usually at peak mid June). Slightly over exposed this shot, so ran with it and washed it out more!

HSS!
