As we walked the trail in Cooper Mountain Nature Park, images of the eclipsing sun scalloped our path.
Overhead tree leaves created hundreds of pin hole cameras with each projecting the eclipsing sun.
This is a small restaurant called ''ZeytinAltı'' in Bodrum..You can have a wonderful breakfast here,an example of which you're going to see some other time..'Gözleme'' is a kind of pastry with either herbs...or white cheese or minced meat or mashed potatoes in it.Goes very well with tea:)
Native women make the best gözleme..Here is a small hut where it is made.You can follow all the preparation from the outside:) And also take photos but she was so fast that I wasted lots of shots!
Pictober 2021 day twenty-six - to plant
Planted by the wind, nourished by the light.
A couple weeks ago I walked over to Durand Eastman Park for my morning reading and prayers. I put the Argus C3 in the daypack. The sun was filtering through the trees most delightfully. I took several photographs around me from where I was sitting as the light changed, and one more straight up.

All my English Flickr Friends and of my age - 49 next month, (I have no secrets lol), will remember Pinky and Perky.
They were two annoying little pigs who had their own TV show and sang Chipmunk style.
Remember Andy Pandy and Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men (and of course Little WeeeeeeeD). Those shows were the staple diet for most English kids back in the 60's.
Think I will stop the trip down TV memory lane LOL!!
These two PINK Rhododendrons reminded me of Pinky and Perky, don't ask why, we all know my mind works in strange ways. Could have been because I took this photo after I had been lying under the Willow Tree!
I always love the effects of light, dappled light and shadow and I have all three here.
I think I have been punished for going out to dinner on Wednesday night. When we dropped our friends off, I didn't know it at the time, but I got bit by an insect under my eye.
Thursday morning my eye was swollen. Thursday night it was VERY swollen and yesterday, I thought I was going to have to drag myself off to hospital.
Having no immune system sucks big time as I can't fight even an insect bite. Felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck. Think of the worst flu you have ever had and multiply it by 10.
Think I am over the worst now, its just past 2.30am Saturday morning here in Oz and at least I can see out of the eye again.
So, guess who has to play catch up AGAIN with all you lovely Flickr'ers!!!
A Showy Lady's Slipper orchid that is budding and blooming...such natural beauties these wild flowers are!

“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually.”- Claude Monet
Dappled light and sunshine give Tamdhu Station an extra dimension.
The obsolete Knockando railway station (the line was removed after closing in 1968) was renamed as Tamdhu by the distillery in 1977 when they converted the station building into the distillery visitor centre. Although the distillery is a little way of the trail it is worth a detour to visit the location, or take a walk along this glorious stretch of the Speyside Way that now follows the railway path.

f8 because I had no depth of field concerns - I intended to underexpose the back ground and therefore didn't need it defocused.
What are your favourite / funniest predictive text swaps?
Every time I write 'hope' it changes to 'hippie' (naturally!)
- Hippie for more perfect days in the woods, building canopies & making fire, just like we did last summer..
- Hippie for relaxation & creativity..
- Hippie for great health..
I didn't really make it clear in my last post, but I am now completely free from breast cancer. I had caught it super early and surgery was the cure for me just a month after diagnosis. I decided to mix holistic treatment, (yoga, mindfulness & the use of essential oils) with conventional adjuvent treatment in the form of advised chemotherapy & radiotherapy to minimise my chances of a reoccurance.
Sometimes it's hard to know if you're making the right decision, especially if you're generally pulled towards a more natural approach to healing, but cancer is harsh and I'm young, and killing it with fire (so to speak!) felt the right thing to do.
It's a very personal choice and one which you, after analysing your own personal survival statistics shouldn't be coaxed into by others.
Here is another self -portrait with assisted focus by my lovely man, Simon as the smoke was pretty strong.
Avalanche Peak Track, New Zealand. One of the two routes up Avalanche Peak, this challenging trail is best taken going up! At this point one emerges from the dense forest to this awesome view. Wholesale erosion of the terrain, generating massive amounts of sediment to clog the downstream drainages, eventually the Waimakariri River in this case. New Zealand is on a tectonic plate boundary, and these mountains are rising rapidly and breaking down a little more slowly. Dappled light lends a sense of depth.
This is the first shot, of a small series taken in the woods.
No flash ........... natural dappled light!
Another peaceful inviting path in the Historic Gardens in Annapolis Royal. Nova Scotia. It was a hot sunny day and I had about 4 hours to wander through the gardens while my husband was off at a neaby airport driving a slalom course with his car buddies...it was so nice not having to hurry, but it was so sunny that the shadows were very harsh at times..I sure wish I lived closer to check it out in various weathers.
Day 41/356
I had to rise at the crack of eight o’clock today which frayed even more my tenuous grasp on reality. I floated through my morning, existing as in a parallel universe until finally a well meaning friend said ‘go climb a tree.’
In the tree I existed with ease. After I had to come down from the tree I carried on as in a parallel universe. Looking back, the only time I was in focus today was in the tree.
St Patrick's Church and Armoy Round Tower, County Antrim. At only 10.8 meters/35.4 feet it is one of the shortest round towers on the island of Ireland.
The Boss was standing in the kitchen on the other side of the screen door from me and I had a flashback to an image I had seen about a half century ago of a young lady behind a screen window. The sun had covered the wall with bright patches of dappled light, some of which caught her and her red shirt. The overall effect was reminiscent of the look in paintings form a century ago. - JW

Common Bullfinch / pyrrhula pyrrhula. Derbyshire. 20/06/18.
'STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE'.
As a diversion from orchid images ... (of which there are many waiting in the wings!), I thought I would share this understated beauty who I chanced across yesterday evening. She was perched in dappled light and looking up quizzically at her mate as if to say, 'Where to now?'
As monogamous birds, the male and female are never too far from each other except during the incubation period.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
At a clearing next to an area of woodland a fox cub came out and posed perfectly as the sun of late afternoon cast dappled light through the canopy.
