Nigella is one of my favorite flowers...the complex structure of the blooms and leaves fires up my desire to capture them in their best light
Goldfinches.... having a munch...nothing quite like a seed head or two....
How it was done...
Single RAW image...Crucially...Centre weighted average metering... In a poor light situation, where the only good light was on the two Goldfinches.... taking a light reading FROM the Goldfinches themselves makes then stand out just nicely... :)
It's always useful to have two or three different metering set up's in Custom settings on the camera ...changing metering modes quickly is vital.... they were only static for twelve frames then gone...!

Taken for this weeks Crazy Tuesday theme: My favourite drink.
Call me boring, but water is my favourite beverage of all...followed by juice. I hardly ever drink alchohol but when I do it is sure to be something fruity and fun (something like a Strawberry Daiquiri or something slushy and refreshing).
Thank you for your visit and Happy Crazy Tuesday to you!

"Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate
I'd feel some joy, but before I've shown my thanks
It became too late
And now all the way I want to find the time
To stop to say
I want to thank you Lord for giving us each new day.
Singing it so sweetly like no one else can do
Always trying something new
And I thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey."
-George Harrison's tribute to Smokey Robinson (1976).

It is becoming a tradition for me to have a flower at weekend or something close. Here it is for this week;-) Could be a bit too pinkish for some... But hey!
Enjoy your free time!!
Take me somewhere I can breathe
I've got so much to see
This is where I want to be
In a place I can call mine
His facial expression is a fact. The face is grotesquely disfigured. What does it mean? Why is it here, fixed to a gatepost of the Stables at Waddesdon Manor (Buckinghamshire)? All I can say is that Manor and Stables go back to the 1870s/80s and that this marble sculpture is of Italian origin, probably 18th century (and it has not yet been treated with fungicide as most of the other statues have been). The architecture here is generally playful, life-affirming perhaps - and now this! Is it a reminder of our fear, when examining the ground we think we are standing on, that there might be none? Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at approx. F5.6.

Thanks for your visits and have a good week.
thanks to Kim Klassen for the texture.
This is an ice macro in case you live in one of those climates that doesn't get to see this stuff first hand. I love how sparkley it gets in the sun.
Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
As daydreams slide to color from shadow
Picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
And I love you
Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple everytime
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple everytime
Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
Where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
And I love you
Just lying smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learnt to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple every time
