Hello All!
I vividly remember this particular day of trying to capture the Black Swallowtail that was zooming around in a meadow. You can just imagine me running around, trying not to fall in the lumpy terrain! (It was great fun)!
My goal with this slide was to try and mesh impressionism and vividness together using Topaz Studio. I hope you like the results. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a pleasant day!

A pincushion Protea, a Leucospermum cultivar, growing in a friend's garden.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the faves and kind comments very much.
This is a first for me. The Carolina Mantid grows to 2.5 inches which is half the size of the Chinese Praying Mantis we see more often. I found this guy and had to hit the dirt for this shot. Dixon Meadow Preserve - Dixon Meadow House, Lafayette Hill, PA.
A pretty shrub I captured while walking at Warilla South Coast New South Wales. A flickr friend called Pat has told me this is a Lace cap Hydrangea, thank you Pat
A flower of the common houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum), a popular garden succulent after the rain. Houseleeks also called Thunder plants, Roof plants or Roof foil (amongst many others) which originated from early beliefs that they could protect houses from lightning strikes. Whether this is true or not, houseleeks are evergreen, readily self-propagated, with attractive reddish-purple flower spikes. The science name “Sempervivum” translates from Latin ‘forever living’ and refers to its longevity, whereas the epithet “tectorum” means ‘of house roofs’ refers to the original use of the plant. Houseleeks remain popular on green roofs of outbuildings today. Taken in the garden. Bath, BANES; Somerset, England, UK
This was a very nice day to take such a photo - it was misty and sunny at the same time. Having driven my son to school I managed to squeeze a few minutes to take shots from different places and get to work (a few minutes late but what's a few minutes compared to eternity) ;-)
Thanks in advance for any signs of appreciation.
Have a good day my friends!
I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, if they call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
'Cause every night, I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

a fox hunting
The fox was far from me, more than 100m and I was behind a fence.
He was in search of food, maybe rabbits as there is a lot of them here

Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus). This wood pigeon was trying to keep cool by oscillating his throat. However, he just looked a bit deranged to me!

A nod to the great British ban Anathema with the title of this one.
I think it is a weather station that marks the location of a sand bank.

Nach - L'aventure youtu.be/3CvEo2aPvHI
Si j'avais un bateau,
Je partirais loin d'ici,
Je partirais loin de là,
Je mettrais les voiles.
J'irais comme l'oiseau
Parcourir la vie,
Découvrir ma voie,
Décrocher mon étoile.
Qu'importe si je me perds
Quand le ciel s'étend en moi.
J'avance,
Bercée par l'univers
Plus rien ne me retient.
J'avance et j'oublie
Je pars,
Je pars à l'aventure...
Je laisse tout derrière moi,
Je pars
Soyez-en sûrs,
Cette fois même si
Ici tout me retient,
Même si dehors
Tout me fait peur,
Je pars
A l'aventure
Si j'en avais la force,
Je crierais haut et fort
Au sommet des montagnes
Tout ce que j'ai au fond.
Si j'en avais le cran,
J'échangerais mon sort
Contre l'air qui soigne,
Je quitterais ma maison.
Qu'importe si je me traîne,
Si le voyage est long...
J'avance.
Si le manque me peine,
Si je perds la raison,
J'avance et j'oublie
Je pars,
Je pars à l'aventure
Je laisse tout derrière moi,
Je pars
Soyez-en sûrs,
Cette fois même si
Ici tout me retient,
Même si dehors
Tout me fait peur,
Je pars
A l'aventure
Pars
Pars
Pars
Pars
Je pars, soyez-en sûrs et cette fois je pars...
Nach - L'aventure
Depuis la jetée est du chenal du port de Gravelines, Petit-Port-Philippe
I went to Shannon Falls the other day hoping to get some wonderful waterfall shots. Unfortunately, the sun was blazing and in most places, the water was, well, overexposed. The actual waterfall falls from a height of 335m or just over 1,000 ft. Then it continues on downward and into the roaring creek. I scrambled down the rocks to try to get a shady spot along the creek, which were very small areas, and realized I'll have to go there again on a cloudy day. This was the most I could get, and even here, you can see that there is too much direct sunlight. And I think I'll have to wear hip waders or something so I can shoot from the water, instead of off to one side.
I haven't been on Flickr for a few days, so will try to catch up with your images from today.
Happy Weekend!
“...A tarde cai e eu camboneeio um mate
junto ao braseiro do fogo de chão;
o pai-de-fogo, puro cerne de branquilho,
quiemando aos poucos na paz de um galpão...”

Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
