Cervo is a small picturesque village on the Italian Riviera. It is compactly situated on a hillside and slopes down towards the Mediterranean Sea (for those who are concerned about the term "compact" in the context of a village: in mathematics, "compact" means closed and bounded). From the sea to the upper town wall, it is a few dozen metres uphill through narrow alleyways quite steeply, so that "higher semesters" may have to breathe heavily. The colour of the houses is a yellowish-orange ochre.

I have been looking through my albums and found some pictures I wanted to share. :-)

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!

End of the day, even construction equipment needs a rest.

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.

A classic era.

The Red-breasted Nuthatch was a campsite visitor and was busy hiding seeds from a feeder, in the cracks in the bark on some trees. More compact than the larger White-breasted Nuthatch, with a rusty coloured front and black eye stripe, yet still a nimble and agile tree climber.

Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.

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.

Uses ultra-compressed fluid good for roughly 60 seconds of expulsion per canister.

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.

I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.

This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.

It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.

This is time for reflection.

Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?

Did I do too many panoramas lately?

Did I do too many infrareds?

Should I take more color shots?

Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!

Reflection shot in Steveston taken with my Fuji point & shoot again in the weekend.
