Flowers whisper "Beauty!" to the world, even as they fade, wilt, fall. ~Dr. SunWolf
I think this one represents the color of the blooms a bit better...I really hard a hard time getting the image to look as vibrant on flickr as it does in camera and on my computer..first ones I posted were really dull on flickr...so hope this looks OK ...I know all screens are different.
I have this really hard time with B/W photos.Although I like them, I never get to do them... I miss colour!
So this one is almost a B/W photo! But the flower was already white, so that was an easy one for me!
We have several Bougainvillea plants and I love to take their pictures. Hope you frickr friends do not get bore with them yet.
On Explore #235.
The excellence being the detailed brick arch and Victorian signalling at Par rather than the approaching (and currently disgraced after the mass fleet withdrawal) Hitachi set.
Little has changed in the signalling world west of Liskeard (maybe only Penzance losing its semaphores in 1982) since I was travelling behind class 50s in the late seventies and early eighties. Even earlier than that with the Westerns and Warships and Castles & Halls, the ever-present bridges and signals have seen them all come and go.
The train has been kept in the background in the scene, as it's the other older things such as the old ground signal paraffin holder and spiky finial atop the up home signal that catch the eye.
The service was 1C76 1004 Paddington to Penzance formed of 802004 & 802001 on 5th May 2021.
Always a thrilling display, Aerosuperbatics have been doing this for decades. I think their 'Excellence in Wingwalking' slogan is fairly recent, and it does raise the question as to whether any other standard of wingwalking would be survivable. 'Mediocre at wingwalking - but not for long!'
Apparently, anyone can have a go at this for a small fee (you pay them, not the other way round!). If you are interested, let me know and I'll book a slot for you. Don't all rush at once.....
One of the wingwalkers in the picture was interviewed befiore the show and said she got the job by applying to an advertisment. I imagine turning up for the interview was enough to secure the position....
The aircraft are Boeing Stearmans, if anyone is interested - very noisy as they have a similar engine and propeller to the T6. Texan/Harvard.
vain·glo·ry - NOUN: Boastful, unwarranted pride in one's accomplishments or qualities.
Vain, ostentatious display.
In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!!

I left Aaron at 7.30am to go and catch the school bus, it was blizzarding outside really hard and everytime I tried to get out of bed, Aaron tightened his vice-like grip around me. It was torture. i was in school for a total of 1.15hrs, before the snow got so bad I had to go home.
So I got home and we decided to make fajitas and brownies with cranberries in them (thanks Aaron's mom for sending them across!) and then we went hill climbing to my favourite hill! This was probably the most horrifically cold shoot I've ever done. I was freezing. Aaron was freezing, and he was in a big Michelin Man coat, scarf, gloves, hat, everything!!
I fell over like 60 times and Aaron didn't fall once. He captured it on video at one point, so we'll post that on the blog later tonight! You can see how hard it is snowing!
It is so awesome to have him here, I am the happiest person in the world right now. We are going out for food materials tonight, yum!
And a before and after for ClaireBear is now up on our blog! :)
This is doctored up. I used gradient tool picking up on the pink color and an oval selection. Just an experiment with PS.
