Last October we drove to the Hope Valley in California to see the fall colors in the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the way we passed by a walnut tree farm near Lockeford, where we noticed a lot of dust in the trees. We stopped, it was a good photo opportunity! It turned out that the walnuts just were getting harvested. One machine drove along the nicely arranged trees to shake them one by one to make the nuts fall to the ground, another machine arranged the fallen nuts and debris in the middle between tree rows, and a third machine scooped it up. All that activity created a lot of dust, to the delight of us three photographers.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

There is a scattering of walnut trees in the fields around my house. I would guess they all come from this old tree and the squirrels that bury the walnuts it drops to the ground.

Brad Pitt & Richard Gere resting on the wall (at 8 p.m.) after a very hot day ☼. It's still very hot here.
Wishing you a cooler week, dear friends.
Such a colourful little bird, we never see many through the winter in the garden, I think they move into the towns and cities, but come spring they arrive in their small flocks, I actually counted 12 on one of my feeders yesterday :))
And two have have started building a nest in my Rowan tree, but it's very high up, I can just see it through a pair of binoculars.
It is said that Goldfinches weave their nests so tightly that they will often hold water.
Did you know the collective noun for a group of goldfinches is a 'charm', whereas a group of crows is known as a 'murder', and a group of owls as a 'Parliament'. All quite fitting to our stereotypical views of these birds!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, your comments or criticism is very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a wonderful weekend my flickr friends.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE IT 😊🐣🐇
I walked down to the bottom of what we call the 'secret garden' this morning to take a few photos. The bench is a favourite place of mine to sit and breathe it all in. There are numerous trees in this part of the garden including the very large walnut tree which you see and many fig trees. The fig trees are currently producing a glut of figs so there's no shortage of those. There is a small river to the left which, when we arrived here in May, had a plentiful supply of brown trout but very sadly, earlier in the month we noticed that dead fish were floating to the surface or being carried by the water downstream. Every evening we would watch from our terrace a really large heron swoop in for its "quick n easy" supper. There's always winners and losers in the natural world, eh? We've since discovered there was a small chemical spill further upriver which caused the demise of the fish. There are (or were) lots of crayfish in the river too and one day we found them around the house and in the swimming pool as they were attempting to flee the problem. What a trek it must have been for them to get out of the river and clamber up towards the house and pool. Sadly, none of them survived. Ending on a positive note, the river is now clean and the local authorities are preparing to restock it with brown trout.
Sunset is one of the most precious moments of the day - this is one of those little truths one can always count on. I love sunsets, although I more often capture the shy beauty of a sunrise. Sunsets pluck sad notes deep in my soul - their transient beauty is fading away into darkness. Arguably the night is endowed with a different kind of beauty, and I love it as well, but I cannot escape that feeling of sadness for something that is passing away.
... So? The result of all this is that the delicate, fleeting beauty of a sunset makes it all the more precious. This bracketing from the last Summer is perhaps the last of the small series dedicated to this beautiful sunset - my last tribute to that magic moment. I offer it to you all, hoping that it can stir good feelings and emotions.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. Raw files has been processed with Darktable.
After being startled, the baby raccoons made their way up the huge walnut tree. Two were ahead of this little one and one behind. Still working on their climbing skills.

This was my very first sighting of a White Squirrel all Summer!
Every time I came here looking for them, they eluded me in the thick foliage and thick growth on the forest floor
I was so happy to see one again after so long!

At one time this was the village pub, it was closed years ago and has been empty ever since. I guess at first planning permission to convert into a house was refused. Then it was rumoured that it would become a community pub, guess they couldn't raise the funds.
Den wohl letzten schönen Spätsommertag habe ich für eine Wanderung genutzt. Das Licht und die Farben waren rund um den Haftelhof denn auch genauso schön, wie ich es mir gewünscht habe und von vor Jahren erinnerte. www.facebook.com/sulamay.fotografie
Today was a wonderful latesummerday and my free day, so I walked around the pretty Haftelhof www.haftelhof.org/index.php/der-ort

I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, desaturated the image by 90%, and added some sepia. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

As beautiful as this tree looks, especially when the sun makes the yellow fall leaves glow, it can be such a menace in the city. We have several growing in our neighbourhood. During the fall, I am acutely aware they are there when the big walnuts drop from the tree almost hitting my head. We try to walk around them as much as we can because I swear the black squirrels see us coming and get ready to throw the next nut at us. They still resent the fact that I successfully discouraged them from getting into our backyard bird feeders. If we are not careful on sidewalks, there are hidden nuts under the fallen leaves and we have almost twisted an ankle when our foot rolls over the wet nut. One of our grandchildren has a severe allergy to walnuts if he eats them. By the time he started his allergic reaction at home and he then was whisked away to the hospital by ambulance, this 4 year old had three Epi pen injections to try to control the symptoms. Now he is in a school that has a Walnut tree in his play yard. He came home with a serious reaction to just touching the nut one day. Maybe we should think of better places to plant these lovely trees. For the theme: Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Hi my friends, I have (more or less) succeeded in processing a new bracketing from the last Summer. It is part of a small series I have rather hurriedly (and breathlessly) taken at sunset by pure chance - it involved running with all my equipment up a trail in the woods to reach the Laral pastures, where the woods leave room to sweet rolling fields and the sky opens wide upon you.
I have tried to get the best from this bracketing, but I have mixed feelings about it. From a technical point of view it has a lot of drawbacks - maybe because of my slightly hypoxic brain at the time of shooting. But I loved the moment so, after having edited and re-edited, and re-edited again from scratch the whole scene, I have decided to give it a chance.
I cannot tell in any intelliglble way the emotional side of that fleeting moment (just the afterglow of a marvelous sunset), but I felt that the universe was embracing me. I was a leaf in the stream of creation* - a whisper in the breath of the universe.

Since I wanted to render much better those delicate streaks of clouds, I used a little trick involving a very contrasted bw version of the scene ;-)
