A wall brown butterfly basking on a footpath at the summit of Leckhampton Hill near Cheltenham. This shot was taken about eight years ago with an old Canon Powershot A400 compact camera. I haven't seen a wall brown butterfly at this site for several years now.
For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!
A vintage powder compact that I found while cleaning my house a long time ago. It was the one my mother used when she was young. It's so fashionable that I asked her to give it to me.
There is still powder inside, but of course it's too old to use. But I still treasure it because I like it so much.
The size of this compact is 5 cm, including the part not shown in the photo.
The city walls in Piran, view from one tower to the other :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.
City walls - former defensive fortifications erected around the city. The first fortifications were built in the 7th century. Today you can see fortifications from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Only the 200-meter-long walls with seven gates have survived. The walls are of uneven height because they were built in different periods - this shows how the architecture of defense has changed. This is one of the best viewpoints on the Old Town and the sea.

Mury miejskie w Piranie, widok z jednej wieży na kolejną :)
Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.
Mury miejskie - dawne fortyfikacje obronne wzniesione wokół miasta. Pierwsze umocnienia zbudowano już w VII wieku. To, co można zobaczyć dzisiaj to fortyfikacje z przełomu XV i XVI wieku. Zachowały się jedynie mury o długości 200 metrów z siedmioma bramami. Mury mają nierówną wysokość, bo powstawały w różnych okresach – widać dzięki temu jak zmieniała się architektura obronna. To jeden z najlepszych punktów widokowych na położoną na cyplu starówkę.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated.
Globe Thistle Bud - Bouton floral Boule Azurée

Ένα από τα σημαντικότερα γεφύρια της περιοχής του Ασπροποτάμου, είναι αυτό του Μίχου λίγο έξω από την Ανθούσα Τρικάλων. Είναι δίτοξο με άνοιγμα μεγάλου τόξου 12,50μ και μικρότερου τόξου 3,70μ. Δεν υπάρχουν αναφορές για το πότε κτίστηκε ούτε φέρει κτητορική επιγραφή. Βρίσκεται λίγα μέτρα κάτω από το επίπεδο του δρόμου που οδηγεί στους Καλαρρύτες, λίγο πριν το μοναστήρι της Παναγίας Γαλακτοτροφούσας στα αριστερά.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
To create the impression of time travel I have not used a zoom blur (impossible with the Panasonic DMC-TZ40). This picture is the result of processing multiple exposures (none of which in themselves are blurred images). I hope we can imagine what it was like at Cape Bruny back in 1836.
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.

Made it back! Hello my friends : )
Little story behind this one...
One morning (while on holiday in the Greek island of Crete) I decided to wake very early in hopes of capturing some interesting morning shots.
After shooting a few pre-dawn beach photos, I walked towards an interesting rock-pier, but had to cross some hotel grounds to access it.
When walking past this pool, I glanced back and saw this mirrored reflection of the hotel in the water!
I desperately wanted to capture the moment (but didn't want to spend more than a minute here as I was trying to hurry and reach the rock-pier before sunrise) so I simply laid my camera down upon the edge of the pool and took 2 shots... and this was one of them : )
I was so surprised that this quick shot turned out at all, as it was taken during pre-dawn light and I didn't have time to make fine adjustments before moving on.
The blues you see in the sky (directly over the hotel) quickly changed (by the minute!) after this shot. The glow from the coming sunrise quickly affected it as I walked on towards the pier.
The blueness of the pool water also caught my attention... I think the reflection is very special near the pool ladder & lamp lights : )
This area was beautiful... so of course the title ( Vacation Blues ) has two meanings ; )
This is SOOC (straight out of camera), no cropping or color adjustments either.
That doesn't make it any more special, I simply tried to leave it the way I remembered it that early morning... very soft predawn blues with subtle hints in the sky of the coming glow : )
I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I was in such a hurry to carry on and make it to the next location.
(note: Taken with my Sony HX90V compact)
Thanks guys for taking a moment to have a look
...thought it was time to add more 'blues' to my photostream!
Hope you find something interesting or enjoyable here : )
Truly appreciate your support... wishing you a wonderful day ahead my friends!!!
p.s. Glad to be back!
I will slowly try to catch up with everyone during the coming days...

CRUSH
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. R_8963
the soft light of the scene highlights the details of its plumage and accentuates the contrast between the delicacy of the little raptor and the silent majesty of the surrounding forest.
la luce morbida della scena mette in evidenza i dettagli del piumaggio e dà risalto al contrasto tra la delicatezza del piccolo rapace e la maestosità silenziosa del bosco che lo circonda.
