........ a bit soft on focus but he wasn't particularly interested in sitting for a portrait. There seem to be quite a few of these beauties about this season; as well as monarchs and a scattering of viceroys.
A bit further up along Stanger Gill from the last shot, this sloping rock caught my eye. Surely it deserves an official name on the map? Couldn't see one though.
By this point, the cloud was starting to lower and the wind was picking up, especially after leaving the shelter of the northern slopes of Rosthwaite Fell.
More from Linlithgow on Friday. Dull and dreich here today which gives me time to get photos filed away. Awaiting delivery of a Canon RF 100-500 lens having partexed my old 500mm for it. The 500 was great but getting a bit too much to carry around.
We can just stay here in this minute

21st April 2021 :
... Bubbles.
As I was busy knitting I decided to work on the Weekly Theme today. It took up the least time ... or it might have done had I thought a bit harder!
At first I filled up a metal bowl with some soapy water and took it out into the garden. Took some different photos and had a look at them. Very unbelievably boring bubbles.
I then threw the water away onto the grass and unlike in my younger days playing Rounders made a complete mess of throwing the water onto the grass. Half of it landed on the table.
But ... hang on bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles and all looking bubbleful. This one being one of my favourites.

Now, those I would have any day of the year. 😆
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Good Saturday morning everyone and wishing all a great and safe weekend.
I have been experimenting with a new Nikon Z-9 but very frustrating menu system and am struggleing a bit setting it up to my liking, but you will see some results very soon, wish me luck, I'll need it.
We had a bit of excitement here in the UK last week. I had a fascinating time trying to capture this, totally alien to me so not great shots all hand held and captured from my home . This is where I would normally capture the sunrise ! I'm sure I haven't done it justice but I tried and tried until I finally surrendered :)
Sometimes a bit of fancy footwork will dazzle those fish into submission. Lance-A-Lot moves gracefully though the shallow water on Horsepen bayou in search of his next meal. Tri-colored Heron doing a bit of foraging on the bayou.

at the Golden Gate Bridge. Every time I have been here this little place has always been so busy. It was a little bit of an eerie feeling to visit late and night and see it deserted.

I don't do nudity as a rule, this was a bit of fun as always with Sergio
God knows we do the craziest things together - we will see a pose and before we know it we are finding comedy in it and that is exactly what we did in this pose.
We laugh until we cry and our humour is contagious when we are together, I have never known a man who I can laugh so much with in all my life!
Adore this man and it is not your typical romantic relationship like most in SL.
There is freedom with us, to be who we are and love one another just as we are - warts and all and to not take life so seriously.
We dance, we laugh, and we just enjoy our limited time with one another!
Looked down. Saw this. Knew it needed to be photographed.

Someday I hope to learn the dials and buttons and menus and settings on the digital camera. But for present Auto is all I manage..... so just playing around.
I think I need a more glamorous model though....
.......anyway, this one has flown the coop.

A different individual to the first one I posted, found lower down the slopes. Biggish crop as he was a bit of distance away, across a bramble patch.
Maybe a bit too subtle and not exactly an original shot, I was a bit surprised yesterday morning to find I had Friars Crag and Strandshag Bay to myself and a lovely bit of pre dawn mist with colour in the sky. Derwent Water, Lake District.
A bit of blue skies popped through on Thursday afternoon, during our winter interlude! Temps were in the upper 50s when I shot this and it back in the low 20s now, and that's were it's going to stay for awhile Another Polar Vortex is here! Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
a bit of a fuller more sweeping view of the terraces at Linderhof Palace in Bavaria... I was about mid level here I believe...very green with all plants life just coming alive in early May...you can see where I took the previous image just about lower middle ...I could have looked at this scene for eons..and never tired of it...but we were off to more beauty and the Bavarian countryside was beckoning to us and heading to explore the WEISS CHURCH or in German known as the" Weiskirche"...not far away..Church in the meadow...
...a bit better on black...

Here is the view I went to capture in Iceland. It is a truly beautiful spot, but it was ruined for me by photographers being I suppose people. I hiked out before dawn the weather report was for sun the weather report in Iceland was never right but then the weather seam so local changeable by that I mean local to around 100 meters or so! Anyways I hiked out to this amazing spot I’d read about seen so many pictures of, I was the first one there I set up started taking a few shots .Just as the light was about to get interesting from nowhere carloads of photographers ruck up at surround me hedged in far enough I’ve got my spot. It’s fair game anyone can come and do this no problem then some start setting up in front of me and probably all the other ones as well! Now call me old fashioned but that’s just rude! We are all there with the same cause. So here is the image with the rude people photoshopped out lol. And please forgive my giving off about photographers! It’s a bit like complaining about traffic we are traffic… One thing it forced me off road which was a good thing to start finding spots that people didn't go to and thats when I realy started to enjoy Iceland!
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS
For inquiring minds that want to know:
I've seen this technique before and wondered how it was created, what software was used. A little research brought me to the linked site (among other sites) and I read the tutorial. I was surprised to find out that it was made with a very creative use of Photoshop. After reading the tutorial a couple of times I realized this was right up there with solving the Rubik's Cube by buying (OK now it's free on the internet) a copy of "How to Solve the Rubik's Cube." Well, I'm always up for a good challenge and so I was hooked!!!!! As it turned out, it was the most complicated thing I've done with PS but somehow rewarding going through the process and the final image got a "cool". I also realized how little I really know about the subtleties and power of PS. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I rotated the image to the diagonal and gave it a little wavy filter. (how could I resist) :)
