I captured this image of a rose at Rose Cottage in the Lake District of the UK several years ago while visiting there. Somehow this rose surviving into winter against the odds, illustrates the courage and valor of the Ukrainian people as they struggle against the odds with Putin the terrible and cruel tyrant who has attacked their country. I have been brought to tears more than once in the past few days as I follow the news, hoping against all hope that they will prevail and drive the aggressor from their homeland.
"I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds."

It's too bad that I couldn't upload the heavenly scent of these tulips and hyacinths which were part of an indoor floral display. Meanwhile, I thought you might enjoying looking at the display. HSS!
Edited with an effect and colour manipulation in Topaz Studio.
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!
The Ruby-topaz Hummingbird is a much coveted gem of circum-Amazonian savanna habitats from Colombia east through Venezuela, the Guianas, south through Brazil and west to eastern Bolivia. It is a very small hummingbird, but with a brilliant ruby crown and nape, iridescent gold throat and breast and bright orange tail and is luckily, quite common throughout its range. It forages for the nectar of flowering shrubs from the understory to tree tops in open country but also in cultivated areas and gardens. Picture taken at Sítio Pau Preto, Potengi, CE.
Wishing all a peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

“If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
I couldn't resist this beautiful spring sky over the ploughed field, so full of anticipation and promise. I hope you like it too. Thank you so much for all your support - as always.
Processed using Topaz Glow 'into the light' at 60%. No actual 'texture' used, just Topaz and a bit of dodging and burning in PicMonkey. So lucky to have a little bit of farming country nearby !

With my extra time off I decided to have a little fun.
I'm I picked up some water when I was at the store. A water line broke and we're on a boil water notice until further notice. Such fun..:)

Growing through pine needles and Blue Jay peanut shell litter, my woodland Lenten Rose never disappoints in the early spring. It disregards neglect and bad weather to raise my spirits with hope.

#MacroMonday
#Sound
For "Sound" it had to be my violin. If I don't play it (and I know I should, but, oh dear, the overcoming!), I can at least honour it with a bit of Flickr sunshine from time to time. Maybe I should work on my "scratch resitance" (sound-wise), it might help me to get over the first caterwauling hours of exercise after so many years of not practicing ;-)
This, you've guessed it, is a small part of the F hole, about 2 cm / 0,78 inches wide. I decided to go for a slightly more "obscure", kind of vague low key look with a very shallow DOF, because when it comes to music, sound in general, it often is not very clear at all why we like a song, a specific sound, or why we positively hate it. Sound, music moves us, either way.
I have a busy day today, so I can only stop by here today occasionally, I hope to catch up with you later! HMM, Everyone, and have a nice and safe week ahead!
Für das Thema "Sound" musste es meine Geige sein. Wenn ich sie schon nicht spiele (ich sollte, ich weiß, aber die Überwindung!), kann ich ihr wenigstens von Zeit zu Zeit ein wenig Flickr-Sonnenschein gönnen. Vielleicht sollte ich an meiner (klanglichen) Kratzfestigkeit arbeiten, um, nach so langer Zeit des Nichtspielens, die ersten Stunden des Katzenjammers zu überstehen, bis es wieder rund klingt ;-)
Dies ist, Ihr habt es schon erraten, ein Teil des F-Lochs. Ich habe hier bewusst auf geringe Schärfentiefe gesetzt, um den Charakter von Musik, von Klang generell zu verbildlichen. Wir können ja oft gar nicht definieren, warum wir ein Musikstück mögen oder einen bestimmten Klang geradzu hassen. Musik, Klang bewegt, so oder so.
Ich habe heute viel zu tun und kann hier nur gelegentlich reinschauen. Ich hoffe, heute Abend wieder mehr Zeit für Euch und auch den MM zu haben. Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf!
