Bodleian Library, Oxford University
Since it seemed this would be a once in a lifetime visit to Oxford we decided to splurge on a private walking tour. The best travel money we could have spent. The young university student with Footprints Tours was superb and he worked hard to make sure I visited the best sites for photography. I have so much I am pleased with that it is hard to decide what to edit first.

So I caved and bought a Lensbaby (just a used one very cheap). So here is an image of my Bradford Pear blossoms from my first shoot. I immediately discerned that it had a pretty steep learning curve. I know it's a controversial lens, but I don't care. It was so fun and I can see places where it will fit into my shooting very nicely.
PS ignore the exif...I forgot to change the info on a non-CPU lens.

Wonderful early 20th Century architecture in a nearby town.
I too live in a house with steep gables and I find these homes around West Michigan so appealing.

I don't usually post two from the same shoot in a row, but this made an interesting comparison to two completely different styles of photography and editing (see the le image before). I love working in both genres, so welcome your thoughts.

In the heart of Ambleside, is a quaint stone mill, its weathered walls blending with the cobbled charm of the Lake District village. The mill’s wooden waterwheel, darkened by years of use and mist, no longer turns but it remains a gentle a nod to centuries of industry. The Giggling Goose Cafe is there for the many tourists that visit the village. However, the scene still whispers of a bygone era, where craft and nature worked in harmony.

It was my little brother caleb4ever that picked up on how this angle captured the crazy roof lines from the buildings that sat behind. I simply got down to where he was and shot from the same angle.

The incredible view in Muker Parish. As I sat there, the Who's song came to mind and even though they were a bit ahead of my time, I have always enjoyed their iconic music.

You can almost feel the quiet bond between them. On Mackinac Island, teams like this allow the visitor to experience the pace of an earlier time. Here the horses serve more than merely transportation, they are deeply ingrained in the island’s history and culture.
The welfare of horses on Mackinac Island is a top priority. Strict guidelines have been implemented to ensure that the animals are treated with love and respect. Local laws dictate how many hours a horse can work each day. There are also guidelines on the maximum weight a horse can pull. These rules help prevent overworking and ensure the horses remain healthy.

Nao Santa Maria (Spain) is a replica of the flagship of Christopher Columbus’ exploration fleet.
This view made me wonder what Columbus was thinking as he looked up through the rigging on his first voyage that was supposed to take him on a new passage to the East. So much conflicting history about this man and other adventurers like him. Were they courageous explorers or cruel conquerors? Probably a bit of both and a product of their culture and time period. Would any one of us had been different if we had lived back then?

I love the bright colors and lights at county fairs, but you can keep the rides.
My first ever date was to the county fair. I rode on this same ride...it was called "Tilt a Whirl" back then. As we exited the ride, I threw up on my date's shoes. Needless to say the relationship did not progress...:-)))

These little honeybees were determined to hold tight to the sunflowers, as I had the shot set up outside. I thought about shooing them off, but realized that was symbolic of all the important things that we have been shooing off in nature. An action carried out on a large scale, that if not brought under control will have consequences more profound than we might think.

It is Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan a nearby town. This was actually taken in a previous year since thanks to climate change all they have left are mostly stems this week. It's a shame because the town is gorgeous when they are in full bloom.

Just landed in LHR and trying to keep awake as we await our transfer flight to the North. Been out of touch a bit with packing, arranging house sitting and sending the Bear cat to visit our friends where he will be spoiled even worse than he already is.
It's scenes like these that make the travel bearable. Hoping our mid-winter timing might bring us some small layers of snow.
Will be off and on over the next but eventually will catch up with all of my talented flickr friends.

Once loaded with coal, cloth, and cargo, narrowboats like this shaped the rhythm of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Today, the journey is quieter, but the history remains in the brickwork and waterline. It always fascinates me to watch these boats work their way along, especially when I have seen them move through the locks.

The stone is grained,
Smooth as walnut turned on a lathe,
Or hollowed in clefts and collars where the pebbles
Shake up and down like marbles in a bottle.
Here the chiselling edges of the waves
Scoop long fluted grooves, and here the spray
Pits and pocks the blocks like rain on snow.
Slowly the rock un-knows itself.

Do I ever echo her sentiment! Everyday is a bad hair day. Who transported Michigan to the tropics? Hate it...but September is around the corner so maybe a reprieve soon. Meantime, I just wear my straw cowboy hat...:-)))
