Tulip bulb shoots are beginning to pop up at the Lyman Conservatory. Almost as quickly as the Fall Chrysanthemum Show comes down, the Spring Bulb show set-up begins. The promise of Spring. :)

Sincere thanks for your views, faves and comments.
Keeping promises usually is not that hard. It starts to get really complicated though when you promise something to somebody special because you know it's the best for that person but might be the opposite for you.
As promised, I am trying a hard surface object. All natural light, without a reflector. Two focus stacking.
This is part of my recent photo project “50 shades of grey". 50 different white objects in different materials, placed on white background, will be attempted. The intention of this project is to force me to pay attention to varying light and shadows, and most of all composition. Let's see how far I can go. This is also a test of my imagination:-)
Thanks for any inputs!

One of the last shots I took in the Lake District nearly 18 months ago. I've got a cottage booked there in 2 weeks time. Can't wait!
I will return near you sometime.
I will return near you sometime...
You and the beloved person are bound together with red ribbon. Even if nobody can see it.
This is a legend of my country ;-)
I promised a birthday card for Adriana, and this silvery evening shot seems perfect. My Lighthouse is by Villagers.
She loves poetry so this is a poem by Pablo Neruda
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
Start of the azalea season in my garden - looking forward to a great one!
Have a colorful weekend, wherever you may be!

Located on the Piazza del Duomo in Bergamo Citta Alta, one can admire the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a remarkable example of Lombard Romanesque. Building work started in 1137 (twelfth century) thanks to a town vote which promised the construction of a splendid church in exchange for the end of the plague epidemic which had afflicted the city. The primitive Romanesque structure (one nave and two aisles, with two major portals, two minor portals and an octagonal cupola) has been reworked over the centuries to the point where it is now very difficult to detect it. The most radical change was the construction of the Colleoni Chapel in the place of the old sacristy, at the same time as the addition, on the northern side, of the new sacristy. The Gothic steeple which dominates the portal is, in turn, an addition made in the fifteenth century. All the portals are the work of Giovanni da Campione. Of these the one next to the Colleoni Chapel (1353) deserves particular attention, as it blends Romanesque features (the round type of arch, the decoration of the portal depicting medieval animals and warriors), with a more exquisitely Gothic flavour. Giovanni da Campione is actually one of the last of the group of so-called "Campionese masters", who lived and worked in the transitional period from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. The equestrian statue of St Alexander by the same artist, which dominates the portal can already be fully classed as Gothic style.
The inside has also been radically changed compared to the original Romanesque structure, by decorations in stucco and marble from the seventeenth century; a wooden choir by Andrea Previtali (1470-1528) and Bernardino Zenale (1450-1526, one of the architects who contributed to the building of Milan Cathedral), following a design by Lorenzo Lotto; a wooden confessional by Andrea Fantoni, an interesting example of baroque art; Flemish tapestries from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the one which depicts the "Crocefissione" (Crucifixion) is particularly spectacular; frescos from the Giottesque school of the 1400s, representing the Stories of the Life of St Eligio and an "Ultima Cena" (Last Supper).

On a cold Winter's morning, these buds are really the light of day. I've always thought these magnolia blossoms are so short lived, but I realize now that the buds shine the whole Winter long...
As this was shot in early May, it is not really a summer shot, even if it may look alike. As I thought I could use some of the DoF-abilities of my little Fuji, the blossom was about 2-3 cm away.
Edited with Nik´s Analog Efex Pro for some vintage look.

Not an engagement ring, but perhaps close. He gave her this as a promise that he'll always be with her.
AWWWWWWWW. (hahahaha, beat you all to it! ;P)

The Promise is a visually stunning sim, depicting a demon-conquered dark fantasy world...think Hieronymus Bosch meets Hellboy. It's located at: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cool%20Bay/169/140/22
