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!

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.

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.

A number of you have questioned how Star is doing with the extended bleak weather which has been plaguing the area. I reckon this photo pretty much provides the answer, as a glowering cat sits glaring out the window, dejected and despondent at the continuing wintry mix, chagrined at her inability to spend any time outside at all, limited only to a few brief minutes on the deck. Her seasonal clock is clearly working quite well, as her mournful whining at the door would attest, but provided the opportunity of an exit, she immediately slaps at the sudden chill with her paw, sniffs the air, gazes about briefly and returns, albeit sullenly, to the comfort of the indoors. Clearly, an advanced case of cabin fever has taken hold...and is destined to continue for awhile with up to 12 inches of new snow forecast over the next two days and temps remaining 10-15 degrees below seasonal norms. A winter to remember. However, on a positive note, the weatherman has optimistically called for the arrival of spring-like conditions in a few weeks...which you will note would coincide with the start of May. Better late than never. In the meantime, one member of the household remains doubtful, wistful, and petulant...as does Star.
This is doctored up. I used gradient tool picking up on the pink color and an oval selection. Just an experiment with PS.
