Morning light rolls in over Burano, as shopkeepers pull out displays, awnings go up, and the canal quietly doubles the cheer with perfect reflections. Even the leaning bell tower seems to be attempting a better view.

These were a handmade gift from a friend who gives cooking lessons, DCD Cuisine. Macarons are delicate and finicky French sandwich cookies made entirely of ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar. The possibilities for fillings are endless, but the most difficult feat is achieving the right consistency and presentation of the macaron shells.

 

These were perfect and I have been promised that I can have a lesson to make them.

"The seas of the world are salty, this lake is like a colossal diamond, clear, pure, sparkling, lying like a heaven-lighted gem in a bowl of rich greenery fringed with a lace-work of chromatic rocks that take on the most weird and enchanting shapes."

"I'm an introvert.

I'm not shy, I'm a noticer, I'm an observer.

I'm not stuck up or anti-social, I treasure my solitude.

I'm reserved until I am not."

The Castle was built as a summerhouse in 1754 for Randle Wilbraham I of Rode Hall. It was built to look like part of a castle of a bygone era, and would have enhanced the view of the newly constructed Rode Hall some 3 miles away on the Cheshire side of the hill. Mr. Wilbraham employed local stonemasons John and Ralph Harding. It is said they were paid 1 shilling a day, and one of the members of the family lost a hand while constructing the castle. The Wilbraham family used the summerhouse for picnics and entertaining friends on days out.

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.

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.

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?

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.

 

Please enjoy the team's details in Large.

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.
