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.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
HSS!

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!
This new bloom on my Gazania flower was closing up its petals for the day and while I was unable to capture that wonderful center full of designed patterns, I did get some great back light from the setting sun.....straight from the camera!
Happy Sunshine Sunday Flickr Friends....

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting. My external hard drive was damaged in my luggage and that is where all my photos are. I have someone that is going to look at it on Monday and retrieve everything for me. Will do my best to catch up as much as I can.
Have a great weekend.
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.
We have several Bougainvillea plants and I love to take their pictures. Hope you frickr friends do not get bore with them yet.

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.
What you can do:
You can criticise silence,
You can ignore silence.
What you cannot do:
You cannot sit even one fleeting minute
In silence.
Yet one day
It is you and you alone
Who will marry silence
And become inseparably one
With silence-sky.

Thank you.
In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

I start to wonder why I'm here not there,
Yes, I know that everyone gets scared. They're trying to come back, all my senses push - untie the weight bags, that some never thought I could.
So many wonderful things have happened to me over the past few days. I have been given what might turn out to be an amazing opportunity in my career all from one phone call last night. I am so excited about life and whats to come, today more than ever I felt like I am really living. Seriously I could cry right now I am so happy. People are so kind.
Feck, I just looked at the time and I am late for a meal with my friends... eep! More description later! :P
IM BACK!
SPEAKING of wonderful things - ph my LORD. I was at the meal with three of my friends, Gina, Nicki and Sam - and half way through I actually crapped myself because my bag was gone. I rushed and left early and started to re-trace my steps. NOTHING. I went into three restaurants and asked if anyone had handed in a black bag. Nothing. By chance I stopped at a bar called Monk and asked the bar man. Nothing. Then a guy sat on his own at the bar said that he'd found it and hung it up outside a nearby shop!! He took me to the shop and I hugged him so hard he is like my santa!!!! I will be so thankful to that man forever!!
YAY!
