edited these 3 photos last night and uploading them this beautiful morning 7:00.
haven't yet started my classical music for reading routine but I might just do it rn.
These photos are all close-ups of tiny scenes I've found through the this amazing Nikon macro lens (enter the album below for more) around the house.
2 are the hard dried shells of domestic butternut and 1 is 'piljevina', as in the leftovers from cutting up the woods for winter and one rare green leaves as the November was already deeply entered our reality
Les 18 et 19 mai derniers, le Comité des Fêtes de la Ville de Lyon propose une plongée dans l’époque médiévale de la vieille ville. Cap sur les années 1269 à 1271, là où l’indépendance lyonnaise s’est jouée.

Since I had the light box out from my raspberries, I revisited an old favorite, some oranges. My girlie went back to school today and I already miss her but am glad we are returning to a more regular scheduled time.
Thick ice after a decent winter begins to thaw and break apart. Spring has slowed it's approach some warm days with melt but nights are have been well below freezing lately.

So this is my daughters 8 month old golden retriever. To be honest I think she looks more like a confused lioness, but I digress lol. I wanted to test my new camera with my new lens the FE 28-70.I actually made a little mistake when I bought my camera. I’ve never shot a full frame before and bought the wrong lens meant for an apsc size camera. So unfortunately I had to own up to my wife on that one and sell it to buy the right lens(not a very happy wife). I was desperate to try it and I was extremely lucky to find a willing model for the price of a couple of chews😂 anyway I hope you will agree she turned out stunning;-).
In the recent weeks/months I've been unsuccessfully wrestling to keep a presence in the Flickr community.
If on one side I have less and less time for myself, on the other I have been struggling with my own photography: I imagine I am going through what afflicted many other photographers before me: Having started many years ago with film, I was at one time seduced by digital and later disappointed by the said medium. Yet, aiming at the best from both worlds, I returned to medium format film; somehow I cannot bring myself to scan those minute 35mm negatives.
Additionally, I decided to try colour photography, from which I have long shunned, owing to my partial colour blindness to red.
This picture is one study I have recently made on sharpness in photography: sharp or not so sharp, that is the question. My eyes tell me that sharpness adds a lot to a photograph, my heart that it adds too much.
The above are two different edits of the same digital photograph made with a Leica M10 Monochrome and the Summilux 1.4/50 Asph. Lens. While the left version was edited to enhance contrast and sharpness, the right one was edited to soften both.
Your comments and views on this matter will be highly appreciated, thank you.

P.S.
Although I will reply to each comment, I would like to thank here all who took much of their time to share with me their thoughts on this subject.
A friend and colleague photographer here on Flicker once said that medium format film is my "at home", and I think he is quite right.
Although I have taken a lot of 35mm photos in the very early 90s, from 92 onwards I used mostly medium format film. As the gear got a bit too heavy for my liking I moved to the 35mm format but was never entirely happy with the results. Getting a good scan with a "normal" scanner is pretty difficult.
I tried my hand at digital photography and was initially fascinated by the sharp resolution and the vivid colours, but with time the images started to feel too aggressive, and recently I tried my hand again at medium format film.
This test was to prove myself that I could get a "film-like" soft resolution, soft contrast image from a very sharp, very contrasted file. Curiously, this does not satisfy me for, what is the point in having ultra-sharp gear if you prefer softer images.
And so, my heart brought me back home to medium format film photography. I'll occasionally do some digital photography too, but for as long as I can, medium format will be my main line.
And maybe time will bring me back again to digital, one never knows....
Thank you all again, for your great input

1230 erbaut, ist die Ruine Schwalbennest die jüngste der vier Burgen in unserer kleinen Stadt. Eigentlich ist ihr Name "Schadeck", aber da sie an einem steilen Berghang förmlich zu kleben scheint, oberhalb einer Felswand hoch über dem Neckar, da nennt man sie hier eben gerne "Schwalbennest".

Built in 1230, the Schwalbennest ruin is the youngest of the four castles in our small town. Its actual name is "Schadeck", but since it seems to be clinging to a steep mountainside, above a rock face high above the Neckar, people here like to call it "Schwalbennest" (= "swallow's nest").
