Some more photos from my walk around the neighbourhood.

The plumber came today and Peter and his friends put up some vilaboard to cover the wires and pipes. We are now ready for the new kitchen to be installed tomorrow barring any more hiccups.

I like to see some shallow d.o.f. from a phone camera.

After the coolest April temperatures in years, Spring is now here to stay!

Flowering cherry seen in Vienna's "Hirschstetten Flower Garden", where our City Gardeners receive part of their training, and where flower combinations for the city's flower-beds are tried out in practice.

Captured with an Auto-Takumar 35mm f:2.3, a fast wide-angle lens known amongst insiders for its great bokeh potential. Here, though the image has been cropped to a square format, the bokeh still has its attractive swirl.

Another from the meetup. This is Rachel's adorable little boy.

I know it's Wednesday, and there's no bokeh, but this is the one I wanted to upload today, so HBW anyway.

Thank you for all the comments on my b&w conversion! I use lilyblue actions/presets to do them with just minor adjustments to tailor them to the particular photo. I cannot recommend them enough!

yeah first shot to make Explore in 2008!!! ;-B thanx so much my flickr friends!

Taken through the windscreen of our boat -- who needs a filter when you have a dirty windshield ;)

Nature gives us so many subjects to enjoy...

But not for much longer. A new fern leaf is slowly unraveling in the green house at RHS Wisley.

I'm getting a lot of use out of my Sumac tree this year. My eyes are bug-eyed from all of the Macro I've been doing lately. Still more Fall shots to come, not enough time to process them all.
