This was meant to be just a recce as I favour a good sunset (ok we don't seem to get those atm) but the walk from where you park the car is longer then I expected especially when I've been suffering from a bit of a Lyme flare up this week. However for me poppies are enough of a motivation to shake off any aches and pains!!

The light and shadows I think were enough for me to come away with a couple of shots that weren't completely flat but I do favour that golden light

I hope to return before they go over! And summer where are you?

Lyrics:

I'm a little bit off today, something down inside me's different

Woke up a little off today, I can tell that something's wrong

I'm a little thrown off today, there's something going on inside me

I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off today

(I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off)

See, I'm a little bit off today, I cannot put my finger on it

Got up a little off today, just to play that same old song

I don't really wanna try today, I see nothing in my reflection

I'm a little bit dry today, feel like I could die today

Feel like I could die today

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little pissed off today and there ain't nothing you can do about it

I'm a little put off today and I could not tell you why

Got a really short fuse today, everyone around me's fucking crazy

I'm a little ticked off today, a little pissed off today

(I'm a little bit off today)

I told a little white lie today, I smiled and told someone I loved them

I had to say goodbye today to someone that I love

I couldn't even cry today, I think my heart is finally broken

Didn't need a reason why today, I don't need a reason why today

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I got a little too high today, got lost inside a sea of madness

Crashed a little bit hard today, crashed a little too hard today

Everybody sing

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little bit off today

Something down inside me feels so different

Just a little bit off today

You can all fuck off today

I'm in bits

after finding out quickly I had single shot set and not getting focus...It's almost like I have to learn this all over again,

Hope everyone is well.

Bit of a bust outing. Too dark, not much going on, no lights - until I turned around and saw this creepy lil number on the hill behind me.

A female mountain bluebird gives me an inquisitive look. Possible she was seeing a reflection in the lens or thinking that long lens hood would make a great nest site.

This young lady seemed to like my car quite a bit too, checking out various parts: side mirrors, grill, hood, tail pipe, wheel wells, roof, and probably other parts I didn't notice her looking over.

A bit of sunshine now and then allowed me to capture this pretty Rose in contrejour, this morning. The late season Rose isn't as big and beautiful as the Spring Rose, of course but it still adds colour and joy to the garden and its perfume always is as enjoyable :) /

Un peu de soleil par ci, par la, m'a permis de photographier cette jolie Rose a contre-jour ce matin. La Rose d'arriere saison n'est pas aussi grosse, ni aussi belle que la Rose de Printemps, bien sur mais elle continue a ajouter de la couleur et de la joie au jardin et son parfum reste magnifique :)

A little more than a bit of snow because there were 5 Snowy Egrets in this one area when I approached. They were all very cooperative and none of them went skulking off into the distance. Just be advised that my sensor is not dirty and that the spots you see in the scene are either bubbles or debris floating on the water. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

My recent limestone train photography excursion had me reminiscing about the Franklin Industrial Minerals in Tennessee. While the line still remains interesting, todays EMD power is significantly less cool than the GEs that made up the entire roster now over a decade ago (Oh....Im getting old...) I believe the three B23-7s are still on the property but used far less. The locomotives at that time were also still wore their original red and grey colors, imo a bit nicer than the current blue logos. Here the 4023 and 3138 are preparing their outbound train at the plant in Crab Orchard.

A bit of a break from my recent travel photos as I darted up to the Midlands area and happened across Train 34 the log train running at a nice time in the Andover/Nala area. Units TR06 + TR13 can be seen gently easing their load of containers and logs through the curvaceous and nicely refreshed Midlands area of Tasmania.

Bit of flash experimentation with one of my favourite trinkets.

Just Sitting Here why do you ask? Prissy being a bit sheepish because she isn't supposed to be on the printer, just being a cat, shot in North Carolina.

Enjoying a bit of sunshine.

Homage to my favorite manga series.

This display presenting picture frame materials at the local crafts store caught my eye on Wednesday, 06 February 2019. That day the theme at We’re Here! was Mosaic!

3 shots from morning of Sept 30th when we had a bit of sunshine.

.

A bit late in the day, but happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

It's macro time, some screwdriver bits....

Hi all and now for a bit of colour,had a good response from the mono conversion of this image from people also wanting to see the original colour.

This believe it or not was last week in cornwall ! could easily been a desert island :-)

please tell me what you think and cheers my friends for taking the time to view

lots to sort out in this photo taken from Brighton Palace Pier, my first attempt to use Photoshop for panorama

A Lee Valley annual delight , the Bittern , but a little different .

A bit of brightness on a grey and windy day.

I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?

Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

There were a couple of groups of people on Waterloo bridge the night before last trying to get this shot with mobile phones who asked me to send a photograph of the view - so here it is

(bit dark for iPhones)

A bit like London buses; you wait ages for one, then two come along together!

Here we see a Spitfire Mk 1a leading a Mk Vc onto the Duxford grass. The Mk 1 type had been in service since 1937 and the Mk V which was essentially a Mk 1 with a more powerful engine, introduced late in 1940.

In this picture, we can see the difference between the 'a' wing on the leading Spitfire, which could carry 8 machine guns and the 'c' wing on the Mk V which could carry either 4 cannon, or 2 cannon and 4 machine guns. This one is configured for the latter.

Note also how the markings changed during the course of the war; the Mk 1 has the Dark Earth with Dark Green topsides camouflage pattern, whilst the Mk V shows the later scheme introduced after 1941 which replaced Dark Earth with Ocean Grey, which was found to be more effective. The Mk V also carries a couple of 'friend or foe' visual identification aids; a pale band around the fuselage immediately in front of the tail plane, and yellow wing leading edges, so the plane could be identified when seen head on.

Freshly ground coffee in a filter, waiting to be brewed.

The beans I used are a lighter roast and much less oily than what I normally buy, but still quite aromatic. Still, the end result was enjoyable, if not as bold as what I'm used to.

Masovia, Poland

Bit of a blow out this morning.

Turned up, got this shot quite quickly. Then the heavens opened and it became clear very quickly that I was totally unprepared for it. Wet camera, wet lenses, wet filters and wet me.

To top the morning off as I was walking back to the car I dropped my camera on concrete. Surprisingly its mostly fine. A little dent/chip of paint lost. Certainly could have been much worse.

But anyway, at least I got one shot.

Bit of play in the studio and then with photoshop.

Mist clears off Loughrigg tarn

Another bit of flash photography due to our recent inclement weather, I caught this Great Tit in such a position that it looks as if its hiding behind its wing...now you see me, now you don't! ;)
