Saturday mornings are nearly always spent wandering around the Purbecks in search of compositions. Out with my brother at Studland and the tide was out so I borrowed his Canon 50mm 1.4f and shot this wide open looking towards Old Harry.

Businesses were closed [or out of business] coming into town on a Sunday. - Downtown Kaunakakai - Island of Molokai - Hawaii

Info: The tourism industry on Molokaʻi is relatively small, compared to the other islands in Hawaiʻi. Only 64,767 tourists visited Molokaʻi in 2015. For years, residents of Molokaʻi have resisted private developers' attempts to dramatically increase tourism. Accommodations are limited; as of 2014, only one hotel was open on the island. Most tourists find lodgings at rental condos and houses. > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molokai

In a world of pink... dressed all in black! I am still a babygirl!

Remember to always stand out, never blend in or conform to set standards or anything else. ALWAYS be yourself!

Shot at Needlewood Lake in Rockville, MD. I love rainy days; the moisture brings out the brilliance of the colors, especially in autumn.

Another fab night out with a huge group of lovely ladies!

This was one of two unseasonal fires on the Ashdown Forest in Winnie the Pooh country yesterday afternoon. I was in my favourite nature reserve when I saw it. I called it in but the fire brigade were already on their way. Nothing like the Saddleworth Moor fire in scale but it still took 65 firefighters to bring it under control. Let's hope it's not a sign of things to come.... It's a bit scarier viewed large...

Wimbledon Ladies Final Day in Covent Garden

I employed several new techniques I came up with on this one so I think of it as more of a prototype. Still it almost gets at what I was trying to do so I'm going to post it.

I always love the anticipation of a lovely evening out, the preparation, the outfit, the selection of which lingerie your partner for the evening may later enjoy, the wonderful feeling of sliding on the fully fashioned nylons you know will be a feast for the eyes and the senses, the choice of your dress length (to tease, to be demure or to demand attention) and the wonderful sound of your spike heels as you leave the house confidently looking forward to what the evening will bring, So here you are a little look back at the start of my Saturday evening out...hope you enjoy the journey too...

… for a little walk. Again, a (rare) close up. No filters, so what you see is what you get x

This little one wants to stay for the winter. Just took this from my porch.

Sadly, later that day the pilot, Greg Connell, crashed and died.

Some alone time to read on the beach on a warmish autumn evening

Another shot from my day out in London at the weekend with Martin Turner, Daniel Borg, Paul Baggaley and Paul Stokes.

We all ended up at Canary Wharf in the afternoon, so couldn't resist taking photos of the tube entrance/exit.

This was one of the last photos I took, with the camera simply placed on the ground.

In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is the point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge. Although the focus is conceptually a point, physically the focus has a spatial extent, called the blur circle. This non-ideal focusing may be caused by aberrations of the imaging optics. In the absence of significant aberrations, the smallest possible blur circle is the Airy disc, which is caused by diffraction from the optical system's aperture. Aberrations tend to get worse as the aperture diameter increases, while the Airy circle is smallest for large apertures.

An image, or image point or region, is in focus if light from object points is converged almost as much as possible in the image, and out of focus if light is not well converged. The border between these is sometimes defined using a circle of confusion criterion.

Captured this image just as the great white egret was coming in to land on the snag. !

I just love this flower!

One VW had crept onto the 142 today, so I had a quick ride. Surprisingly fully blinded (unlike some of the TE’s!) VW1274 is seen running down into Bushey. 19.1.23.

Testing Rollei retro 80s in misty conditions

I usually don't take photos of wildlife, and this one is out of focus. But I thought it was kind of interesting, so I went ahead and posted it.

Icy & Pyry: "WHEEEEEEEEE"

Frosty: "HALP!"

The sled goes really fast on crusted snow! Dont't fall off!

The light-box is the way to go on this one. My favorite part of this shot happens to be the ocean waves in the sky.
