With all of the nightscaping that I have been doing lately, my stream is looking a little dark, so I have decided to start posting some of my favorite day shots to help brighten it up.
Here's an early evening photo taken in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs Colorado. As I was waiting for the sun to go down, I watched the shadows stretch across the park and sunlight started to illuminate the top of the Tower of Babel formation and thought I would snap a few. :)

At the PhotoPills Camp I've had the opportunity to see a presentation by Eric Paré and Kim Henry on their light-painting work.
Later in the day (night...) I've seen it for real. And photographed it!
Although I had high expectations, I must say that reality surpassed them by far!
It was a wonderful night that will be kept in my memory (and photos!). Many thanks to Eric and Kim!

Light-painting: Eric Paré

All I have or should
want to be but never could
It's coming at, it's coming at, it's coming at my heart
To spoil my soul with fire
All my eyes can see is
born out of your imagery
It's coming at, it's coming at, it's coming at my heart
To scorch the earth with fire
Tell me who you really love
Tell me who you really love

Nemophila, a popular flower that blooms in spring.
Every spring, I go to take photos in a large national park, famous for this flower, but it has been closed this year.
That's why this year I shot a Nemophila on a small flowerbed in a nearby park.

I combined these images with Photoshop. There are 37 eastern warblers and of those who have distinct differences between male and female I am endeavoring to combine them into one image. I have about 5 or 6 more pair sets to complete which will require more field work in subsequent springs. A fun project which I hope will prove useful to many.
The theme for MM is hand tool. My tiny scissors are just right for daisy cutting!
Thanks for views, favs and comments, much appreciated 👍💕

Lately I found my mind wandering as we wind ourselves into the new year of 2023. I decided to do a more thoughtful pose to work with some PS tools I've neglected for far too long to get the hang of them. Maybe, hah. Working in extreme closeup made me appreciate the work put into the eyebrows and eyes by Landgraff (his Unholy eyes are really cool), the brows alone are nicely detailed down to the tiniest hair and added scar. I'm wearing Cubic Cherry's spectacles to add to the haughty look.

After the discussion in the group Saturday Self-Challenge I decided to photograph mine for the theme Old but still useful.
It's so old that all the paint has come off the handle. I must have bought this some time in the second half of the 1960s.
Some bubbles are pretty, but others are created to be useful!

Taken at the Great Central Railway in Loughborough, found this old, though still useful shed - I liked the way the light fell on the doors.
Sticky and useful, inkcaps were used as a source of ink for important documents to guard against forgeries.
They cause serious problems when consumed with alcohol hence the common name Tipplers Bane.

For 120 pictures in 2020 #113 "Useful", this is a set of 4 mini-whisks I use mainly for beating scrambled eggs (I am the only one in the house who eats them, so only two at a time). But they are also great for mixing in any small bowl or container.

An useful way of up cycling an old tyre!
Spotted in the woods on my walk last week, this home made swing was designed and made by two 11 year old girls. And no, I didn't take up their offer of trying it out!
we've done useful things, I've renewed the contract on my mobile phone, updated firmware on my camera and ... just messed about with a photo. :)
Another angle on the famous artificial mound. I thought the tree would make for a useful foreground and act as a balance. I am afraid my titles are not getting any better but at least they are self explanatory! We are hoping to walk part of the Ridgeway trail over the Bank Holiday weekend so fingers crossed for some good weather!

‘Self-help’ and ‘autonomy’ are useful skills to teach children, though admittedly, I often fail at ensuring these skills are promoted in a loving and supportive way. On more occasions than I care to admit, I often find myself flippantly saying, “just do it already!” or in a state of frustration, opt to undergo tasks in my own seemingly more-efficient way. It would be easy for children to mis-infer that ‘autonomy’ is the golden rule in standards of living – when it isn’t.
It certainly runs a risk of undermining the equally-important issue of ‘inter-dependency’. We are, after all, gregarious beings, with an identity firmly fixed in the context of community…
‘Place2Be’ is launching the UK’s first Children’s Mental Health Week; a charity that provides emotional and therapeutic services to children, in schools across the country. Please make sure to visit their website and be made aware of the very prevalence of child mental health...
In one of its pages, it reads, “...one of the most important life-skills we teach our children is knowing when to ask for help.”
In reality, children, in one way or another, are always asking for help; the task for us, as carers, is to listen.
I took this shot at the end of my afternoon on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal it show Blossoms Tea Rooms and the 1st lock that take boats down into the marina & basin.I took the shot and never checked it just walked on back to the car and home .when i saw it on the computer i was very disappointed with my effort ,the exposure was rubbish ,the sky showed a little detail and the foreground was almost blacked out but i liked the composition so played around with it in PS Elements 14 but could not get it as i wanted it .A few months back i had down loaded The Nic Collection ,Googles free editing software add on's so i gave them a try not having used them before and i must say they are very good ,it let me just give the last little tweak that the shot needed ......you could say "well get it right 1st time and you don't need to use these tools " but we don't do we ....not all the time anyway.......Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal,Stourport-On-Severn To Kidderminster leg,North Worcestershire ,England
At first glance maybe an unusual spider? lol! This is a "bear claw," one of two that I use to retrieve a large, stuffed turkey from the oven twice a year. Yes, Thanksgiving and Christmas. ( I think it would make a great weapon, too if I encountered a burglar in my home)! Super sharp! Happy Crazy Tuesday everyone!

A useful tip for boiling Shrimp, put your frozen Shrimp in a pot cover with cold water and when the water starts to boil pull them off the fire,

Portulaca oleracea is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a popular ingredient in herbal remedies
Corn leaves.
Apparently corn leaves can be dried and a herbal tea made from them. Other uses include flavouring beer, grinding into flour to make porridge, bread and cornmeal pancakes.
Found these flowers in my street by the edge of sidewalk and just stood there watching the busy bumblebees flying around, doing their thing... I thought, why can't us, people, be as them... useful, hardworking and just nice and cute at the same time, not grumpy and stressed out... Let the nature be our inspiration once again!
