Millie has mastered the "absolutely cheesed off" look whenever I point a camera at her. For a Greyhound, she is very expressive.
I've been experimenting using the APS-C crop mode on the Pentax K1 Mk11. Full frame is 36 megapixels and crop mode about 15. My first digital SLR was 5 megapixels and I was quite satisfied with that at the time. This is a crop of a crop and I think the quality holds up pretty well.
It's really hard for me to try to explain how hard it is to motivate myself to do any photography these days whilst I continue to recover from my knee injury. Recovery has been seriously interrupted by lockdowns and closures of gyms...indeed, I've not even been able to see a physio for over 6 months. With all of that my fitness has suffered considerably and so even short excursions can sometimes feel like I'm hitting the wall at mile 22 of a marathon. Therefore, the thought of making the effort to climb a hill for photography when the conditions are less than ideal...well, it doesn't appeal.
When on the hill, a different fear now presents itself. Fear of another injury. I used to head out without a care in the world really. Sure, I might slip and fall, but I always felt that I was the master of my own destiny, even in those circumstances...but now it is different. My body just failed when I injured my knee, with very little in the way of warning, just a little knee pain like I've had for years anyway. The actual step I took when my tendon snapped was so incredibly innocuous, it's the type of step I've taken thousands, if not millions, of times before...it was just like going down the stairs at home...but in that moment, my tendon chose when I was alone, on a hill, in inclement weather and without a mobile signal, to snap...not at home, going down the stairs. And now, although the injured knee presents no pain, my other one does, so the fear is that that will someday go too, as so often seems to happen with people who rupture one tendon, eventually the other one ruptures too. Add to that a lack of strength in the injured knee, some balancing issues and a tendency to give way without warning...that all adds up to a heck of a lot of nervousness when going off the beaten track.
The day I took this photo was no different in many ways. I was solo. The weather was inclement. There was no-one really around. I did have some extra protection in the form of a satellite transceiver that enables me to send an SOS and I did tell my wife where I was this time. But with boggy conditions underfoot, it still meant my mind wasn't wholly invested in photography until I'd set up my tripod and decided to wait, in the cloud and drizzle, for things to happen. And so I waited...and waited...and waited. About 2 hours later I felt the subtle change in temperature on my neck as the sun tried to break through the misty conditions. Poised with my finger on the shutter just hoping for the mistiness to clear a little to reveal the landscape, the conditions brightened to the left of the scene you see here until not only were the two tress visible, but also the landscape beyond...and low and behold, a rainbow. What resulted was a stitch pano consisting of 7 vertical frames and 160 megapixels of Lake District loveliness. This scene lasted for all of 30 seconds...and then it was gone.
I don't tend to big-up my photography, especially these days. I tend to work behind the scenes, especially for anything from Snowdonia, where I spend most of my time, refining my project and building, what I hope will be, a quality book. However, when I go elsewhere, it is sometimes nice to share what I captured, and I think even I like this one enough to shout about it.
Wood anemone in the Amper floodplains. Is also known as white Easter flower. I wish all flickr friends happy Easter.
Focus stack of twenty individual images. I decided to blur the background, because this gives a more pleasant image impression.

"Give and Take"
I give you flowers,
you're my scent,
I give you colours,
you're my compliments,
I give you beauty,
you're Heaven sent.
poetry by Sean.
" We all have to give & take sometimes travelling through the rocky road of life & love, eventually a beautiful balance can be achieved."
Nature provides floral beauty in all it's forms, it gives us untold pleasure.
We take from nature, we love nature, we love all that nature has to give, floral delights, a beautiful scented extravaganza of movement and vibrant colour, oh' what a beautiful place our little Earth is 🌍
We are extremely lucky to be alive today.
The way the whole world is battling climate change is truly remarkable .... but so vital to us and our future! 👍👍👍
Love & Peace everyone!

The flower in this image is a Daisy named: Senetti, the forks are from my local Asda store, from a set of iridescent cutlery, and the background also came from Asda's, so did the daisy plant, the only thing not from good old Asda's was the free glorious springtime sunshine. ☀☀☀☀ 😁😁😁😁.
Thank you ever so much for viewing, commenting or favouring my photography, it's really appreciated!
Cheers! 🍻
you give yourself a little pep-talk. you can hear the engines rumbling underneath you and up through the concrete. that smell of gasoline and the sweat that rolls down your forehead. the flag goes up, and you tear out onto the track, screeching tires all around you. the number 9 car is right on your tail, drafting, while the UPS car is trying to put you into the wall.
and then you realize all of a sudden that it's the last lap and you need to push for first. turns out the person in first is your little brother. turns out he won't let you forget that he beat you.
man, go-carts really does bring out the kid in you. (:
great day today, beach, go-carts, home, hopefully some sleep. i hope everyone's day was as a good as mine.
goodnight and God bless.
Happy Thanksgiving! There is much to be grateful for in our lives just remember to give to those who may be less fortunate than yourselves. Tomorrow starts the season of giving, hooray!

Taken at Santee Lakes on a cool December day with great clouds after the over night rains. This was taken with my converted infrared camera.
l I used channel swapping in this image to give the sky a blue cast. Here is a link to a tutorial on playing with infrared images. www.lifepixel.com/photo-tutorials/infrared-photoshop-videos
Other infrared images that I've posted on Flickr can be seen in my creatively named Infrared album.
This gives a good idea of how far I had walked. It was a much better day now so I was looking forward to the walk back to the car. The village of Avoch really stretches out and you can see Ormand Hill which I have been up before.

Two coastal brown bears wait just below Brooks Falls for some salmon to swim by on their way to their spawning grounds. The salmon are swimming up river, so will come past the bears from their rear. One of them decides to manipulate its tongue for a bit, which when placed in human terms would mean the bear is sticking its tongue out for the camera. Of course I don't ascribe any meaning to this but it does make it a bit humorous! The closest bear is employing a technique of sticking it's entire head underwater to see the salmon. That's why there is water dripping off its head.
