Given that it is nearly spring, the Kangaroos were getting a bit animated with these two boxing and kicking at each other on the side of the hill. Eventually they moved down the other side, out of sight, but the boxing match lasted several minutes.

My zoom lens was not quite long enough to get any closer.

In Japan, it is customary to present quality products in a quality packaging.

In the case (pun intended!) of this ink stick (Sumi in Japanese), the wooden box has probably been carefully trimmed flush with a wood plane in the expert hands of a craftsman, who made sure that the lid fits perfectly on the box with a satisfying "swoosh" sound...

I thought I had a black and white edit of this shot but I didn't... (I guess I liked it better at the time in colour as you can see all the blood splatter from Danny's mouth in glorious technicolour) so here it is... a new edit in glorious monochrome

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...

i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

Dorian Darch vs Imantas Davidaitis

Whenever I saw Welshman Dorian Darch fight, it was always a blood bath. I think he was one of the guys who cut easily. Here blood streams from a cut as he punches his opponent.

I digress a bit here but I recall the story of a boxing referee who claimed he got HIV from blood spatter in the ring. Easy to understand how that might be true when you see stuff like this. Nowadays, boxers are tested regularly to try to protect from this and I recall a boxer being denied the right to fight by the British Boxing Board of Control because of blood results, Even as a ringside photographer, so further away than the ref, I have had blood spatter go on my face and my camera. Not nice either which way!

This is pro boxing. In white-collar boxing, they don't blood test regularly like pro boxing does so there are even more dangers than just being poorly regulated. Tend to be less blood though at those fights. Just as well.

One Round Exposure

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December). Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, with many people choosing to shop for deals on Boxing Day. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations

Le Boxing Day est un jour férié célébré après le jour de Noël, qui a lieu le deuxième jour de la période de Noël (le 26 décembre). Le Boxing Day était autrefois un jour pour donner des cadeaux aux personnes moins fortunees, mais il a évolué pour devenir une partie des festivités de Noël, de nombreuses personnes choisissant de faire des achats à prix réduits le lendemain de Noël. Il est né au Royaume-Uni et est célébré dans plusieurs pays du Commonwealth

Boxing Hares by Hamish Mackie.

There isn't a description of this piece on the Hares of Hampshire website so I had a look on Hamish Mackie's site where it is titled Hares Monumental:

Hares Monumental is a sculpture bursting with life and energy. Three times life size, it is designed to be silhouetted side on. It makes a stunning focal point as it really holds its ground from a distance.

122 pictures in 2022 (63) magnificent

There is a new art trail in Southampton and Winchester this summer. For ten weeks Hares of Hampshire will bring thirty-two large hares and forty-two leverets to the streets, parks, galleries and shops of the two cities.

All money raised by donations and by the auction of the hares at the end of the summer will go to the Murray Parish Trust.

Boxing Hares stands 11.5 feet high and is on display outside John Hansard Gallery for the duration of the art trail.

Pro boxing in Wales

My first visit to the Boxing Gloves on the Northern Edge of Kinder, Its an area that I've just dismissed over the years, always going some place else.

The evening light was forecasted, but as time ticked on it didn't seem like it was going to produce any light, then all of a sudden it broke through the clouds and gave some strong sidelight for 30 minutes.

I decided upon this composition because the rocks and the middle distance are lit up with that lovely glow.

I might share some others, but for now, I'm just enjoying being active again.

Ok, my first attempts are all unsharp in the poor light but I'll have another go soon now I have a better measure of things. This is Ben at Ultimate Boxing in Congleton.

I used a Grey Smudge in PicMonkey. The white lines across the frame are actually the out-of focus ropes of the boxing ring I was shooting through.

St Peters, Kineton

Technically not the best but what a pleasure to witness and capture, 2 mountain hares pairing up and boxing, clumps of fur drifting onto the heather moorland during the action... I can't help looking at this image and kicking myself for clipping the long ears off but it was all so sudden and fast paced...

The Boxing Gloves on Kinder North Edge. I took about 6 shots in portrait mode and bracketed each shot then used HDR Panorama function in Lightroom to stitch it all back together. It was one of those evenings that lifts the spirits. What a great place to be and so good that i can get into this landscape in 20 minutes from home. Love it

At last a period of cold, well actually freezing, and dry weather so an opportunity for a local walk to check on the wildlife.
