Flower from the paper strips I have collected.

A spectral Christmas Eve walk at Ivinghoe Beacon.
Despite knowing this walk so well, there were a couple of moments when I lost my bearings in this blanket of fog.
A lot of the farmers around here introduced 3 metre conservation strips around their fields a number of years ago. The idea is to encourage the return of the many endangered species of farmland birds that declined following the introduction of intensive farming techniques. Certainly it seems to have worked with good populations of Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Yellowhammers and Corn Buntings at this location. Not that I saw any in this pea souper!

I knew I was looking through my macro lens at a very pretty butterfly, but when I got around to processing I could hardly believe the spectacular colour patterns on the underside of its wings.
That tiny strip of out-of-focus material at the bottom bothers me; I wish I could have avoided it somehow, or at least the small portion that rises up at the centre. It's a small thing, yes, but I'm a perfectionist. And I understand that there is no such thing as perfection. We live with our contradictions. I enjoy the challenge of trying to come away with the photo I envision - exactly, no compromises. It happens so rarely...
Lying flat in the muck near a side branch of the river, I couldn't do much to change the angle of view because I didn't want to scare the butterfly away. I love the look of this little critter anyway. And I enjoyed the process - trying to put it all together in the field - as much as creating the final result. Probably more.
I did put more effort into photographing butterflies this past summer than I have for several years, and have to say I have a greater appreciation for photographers who create excellent, flawless images of them. It takes hard work and dedication. Somehow I was reminded of my first published photos, in photo magazines back in the 1970s. I think my first three submissions were accepted. I thought I was hot stuff. Then I received about ten rejections in a row, and came back down to earth. With this photo, I came to earth - literally and figuratively. More butterflies to follow as I round out the current insect series before moving on to something else.

This beautiful dragonfly has a bright red top side and a dull light green bottom side. Apparently, these two tone style dragonflies are all lumped under stripped.

Not a blog post - just something my rather tired self enjoyed making, using two things I was really thrilled about putting together. Only to then end up following my whims into highlighting the silhouette only. And you know what? Sometimes, that's alright. Leave something for the imagination.
Body: CZ - Slim - a sincere thank you to Cloud Zifer for his incredible generosity, while I was out there exercising some serious idiocy. It's been an interesting journey leaning into this body in contrast to other possible combinations for this particular body type. And you know what? I enjoy it a lot, and wish there were more content out there for it. For something that is just like this - a simple moment. Which brings me to how thrilled I was that the pants were coming with this fit as well.
Pants: Thirst - Kane Jeans @ Equal10. To be entirely honest, a pair of jeans is a pair of jeans most of the time - there isn't much they can do differently. Steady, simple, just...there, you know? The majority won't inspire ideas or do anything other than...obviously, be a pair of jeans. And if you're like me, then many will inspire some kind of neurotic inspection around how well the cuffs fit around my favorite shoes, and how awkward it can look. So having something that IS different, that simply inspires different ideas and demands a different use, something that simply channels a different set of moods, tickles the part of me that's chronically chasing visuals.
Now if only I COULD wake up fully so I can resume normal transmission, that would be great.
Here's an outtake from today's SP. It shows the traffic I had to walk in to to complete my SP. I'm not exactly sure why both of today's shots came out jagged-looking. At 100% in CS2, they look fine. I think it has something to do with decreasing the size while working with it in RAW. Anyone got a hint?
UPDATE: I went back and reworked it using the larger resolution size in RAW and replaced it. I think it's cleaner now.

It may have lost many of its blossoms, but this canola stalk was standing tall, well above most others in the field.

With wind warnings and the first snowsquall watch of the season posted for tonight, I imagine the last few trees we found yesterday morning that were still holding on to their leaves, will be stripped by the storm before morning.

there were lovely wind-driven waves on the water, making the willow reflections' dance all the more alluring ....
Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet at Tate Modern, London
"Carlos Cruz-Diez’s immersive installation Chromointerferent Environment fills the room. A sequence of moving parallel lines colour the gallery floor and ceiling. The projection is constantly in motion, changing the appearance of the objects and people in the room. This creates a disorientating effect. Visitors are invited to interact with the cubes and balloons positioned around the room, engaging directly with the dizzying optical patterns."
