11:52 Something I Love
There are so many things I love, first and foremost are my husband and my pooches, family and special friends . . . I love the beach, the sea, the sky, the ocean, spaghetti (love spaghetti), fashion, fast cars, travel and shoes . . . I could go on and on but I guess what I am saying is that I love life.
For this weeks theme of 'Something I Love' I have decided to focus on one of the many things I love about my husband and that is his continual thoughtfulness.
I love collecting feathers whenever I am out and about and over the last few weeks while out walking our pooches he has been collecting them for me too . . . all different shapes and sizes and colour variations. I will often come home from work and he will have left them on my keyboard or on my dresser, somewhere he knows where I will discover them which I always do, and with great delight! My most recent favourite is a beautiful collection of owl feathers (or at least I think that's what they are).
I said to him one day, next I want you to find me a red feather, I was joking of course but the very next day he returned home from his walk with these gorgeous, large red, feathers.
I couldn't believe it! What are the odds? . . . probably a little higher than usual as the previous day there had been the Pride March in St.Kilda and no doubt these had been part of someone's outfit but still I never expected him to return home with red feathers especially ones as beautiful and elegant as these. They are a vibrant red with streaks of black and at the base they are a beautiful iridescent green throughout too. Just amazing.
Next I said I want you to find yellow ones and the very next day on my way home from work what did I find . . . a beautiul large yellow feather . . . probably more remnants from Pride but yellow nonetheless!
Sometimes you just have to ask the universe and your husband and together they deliver!

from streets. Landsort is an island in the southernmost part of the archipelago of Stockholm, with it´s cannons from WWII and the cold war. And as most of the cannons in Sweden they are pointing eastwards...The lighthouse here was built 1640, can be seen 25 nautical miles out in the baltic sea and has the character Fl(1+4) WGR 60s.

I was at the Baker Welands a few years ago when I took this image. At the time, I was trying to avoid the lightning strikes while carrying a metal tripod. I was reminded of the line from MacBeth "Something Wicked This Way Comes." :)

I try to pick my titles from lyrics out of songs that I liked or had stuck in my head at the time of the photo. So that's what that is.
I spent more time on this picture than I have with any other picture I've made before. I spent three hours on it Tuesday night. After all my work got deleted, I spent a few more hours this morning trying to recreate it. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Goathland station - todays walk was roughly a figure of eight from the car park at Goathland.
Another shot from the Saltash side of the Tamar River when the local swans decided to join us for a photo session!
Instead of going to the same places near the house every weekend we are going to attempt to travel farther away from the house every other weekend to see something new. This one has been on my to do list for years!!!
this way comes.

I had watched a tutorial earlier this week about the camera and different settings, something I think one is supposed to do when you first buy a camera, but why on earth do that?!
There were quite a few things that I learnt ( including how to double take, which I have yet to try) about the camera including the “C” function which I had never used before, I have used the “M” button except for when I hand it to someone else and then put it into point and shoot mode.
This is a result of the “c” function, the light source is the phones torch, I was surprised just how clear the shot was but then of course the iso is up through the roof.
It’s a cyclamen but and stem but then I suspect that you knew that anyway.
Thanks for stopping
Something a little different--a crop of what I think is a Common Green Darner. I am struck by the jeweled beauty of insects, and that so many folks are too repulsed by them to notice!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THEM
Right at this peculiar point in time, it might be useful to consider our humanity and what distinguishes us from the things we make.
Both the tools we create to assist us and the tools with which we express ourselves are integrated into our lives and yet …………. they’re not us.
We don’t confuse ourselves with a cordless drill or laptop, we don’t identify as a subway train or wheelbarrow – at least not while anyone’s looking!
The things we make reflect, echo, reveal, convey our humanity, but our humanity is commonly experienced as something integral to our being, something soulful that resides ‘in’ us.
I’m not going to attempt to define humanity, because there’s no single description or experience that holds true for all people all the time.
However, sorting out this subject in our own head and having a notion what each of us individually values about our humanity, might be useful before we start encountering artificial humans for the first time.
It may prove very practical to consider what identifies us from them.
Felt like some black and white floral photography; not entirely sure why but hey who am I to argue when the mood hits and there's no need to chase inspiration.
Nothing too exciting to report today; a fairly quiet day getting things done around the house. The weather flipped from warming up to cooling down today so anything I wanted to get done outdoors is now on hold while the snow falls again... hopefully it doesn't stick!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Literally and metaphorically, we are daily fishing for something in our lives and routines !
Happy fishing :)
