Those moments that make you feel at peace. The stillness, the ducks slowly making their way across the pond.
This is why we get up early in the morning. I sometimes make up excuses to stay in bed and then regret it later.
Set your alarm, grab your gear and get out there shooting.

The hallmark of the Neuer Annenfriedhof cemetery in Dresden are the arcades in the neoclassical entrance area, which were built by 1878 and are modelled on Italian Camposanto architecture.
Hallmark Farm - Warrior, Alabama. Photographed through the passenger-side window of a moving car. Having no leaves on the tree in front of the barn was nice. Happy Fence Friday.
Green screen picture, that really isn't even necessary anymore. Mostly Photoshop with some light touches of AI, (the fireplace , books, plants.) Sorry for the low-res. I couldn't find a decent backdrop in HD. Doesn't look like much but took a long time. Sometimes it goes like that. ☻
The Headquarters of Hallmark Cards. Sunsets are my favorite part of the day. This capture has a little bit of everything that I love about photography. Sunsets, architecture, reflections, and water. The Liberty Memorial in the background is an added bonus.

A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Brands and logos". The silver hallmark is form of branding that is very old; this one dates from the early twentieth century.
Bert bought it for me at a local newspaper store.
It says: "hello, a small message" on the outside and "for you" on the inside.
Seit den 1960er-Jahren ist das Kleeblatt auch Kennzeichen besonders sportlicher Serienfahrzeuge von Alfa Romeo.
Since the 1960s, the clover leaf has also been a hallmark of particularly sporty production vehicles from Alfa Romeo.
I'm not one for these Hallmark moments--those perfectly polished slices of life that make us laugh, cry, and roll our eyes all at the same time. This is the best I got. Happy Valentines Day everyone.

Keepsake Ornament
Comic Book Heroes
Superman
Handcrafted
2008
From the box back:
"The last survivor of the doomed Planet Krypton, Superman burst from the pages of Action Comics nearly seventy years ago. Rocketed to safety from his exploding home world, young Kal-El landed on Earth, where he was found and taken in by a Kansas farm couple.
Lovingly nurtured by his adoptive family, the unusual boy soon realized he possessed extraordinary powers - powers he would use to protect and defend mankind.
Now, as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter, he's a simple citizen of Metropolis - but when danger threatens, this hero bravely rises up to save the people of the world as... SUPERMAN.
Each of the ornaments in this new series will feature a different Comic Book Hero literally bursting from the pages of a miniature comic - with a story you can actually read!
Robert Chad Hallmark Keepsake Artist
First in the Series. Look for 1 on this ornament."

This sterling silver hairbrush made in Birmingham in 1903 is just one piece out of a very substantial dressing table set that includes hairbrushes, mirrors, a looking glass, a tray, a comb, clothes brushes, perfume bottles, a glove hook, a perfume bottle opener, a boot hook, a shoe horn, a manicure set, powder pots, a needle case, an appointment book, a miniature Bible, a hair tidy, a hatpin container, an appointment book and even a letter opener, all of which belonged to one of my Great, Great Aunts. All of them feature elegant and ornate repoussé work of a very high standard. Each item depicts a beautiful Art Nouveau maiden in profile with long flowing tresses that twist and curl about her as she stands amid some sunflowers, plucking blooms. This style of design is typical of the curvilinear floral and female motifs so popular during the Art Nouveau period, epitomised by artists like Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt. As a child, I called the Art Nouveau lady on these pieces, Clytie, after the Greek mythological legend of Clytie the sea nymph who fell in love with Apollo and was transformed into a sunflower.
The theme for the 11th of December “Looking Close… on Friday” is “brush”. I thought this silver backed hairbrush made by the Birmingham silversmiths Levi and Salaman in 1903 was an elegant choice. I hope that you will agree. The hairbrush features a pad of boar bristles which were stiff enough to brush the thick and long hair grown by Edwardian women to form the ornate and stylish ‘transformations’ (hairstyles) of the first decade of the Twentieth Century.
This hairbrush is hallmarked with the initials “L.&S.” which are the initials for the silversmiths Levi and Salaman. Founded in 1870 by Phineas Harris Levi in partnership with Joseph Wolff Salaman the two men established a silversmiths firm. They later became proprietors of the Potosi Silver Company in 1878. The firm became Levi and Salaman in the early Twentieth Century and became Levi and Salaman Ltd. in 1910. In 1921 the firm was amalgamated into Barker Brothers Silversmiths Limited.
It was a busy day of rail replacement buses passing through Staines upon Thames today (27/02/2021) with 20 departures an hour heading for Hounslow, Windsor & Eton, Weybridge and Ascot.
There were 17 operators out and about which between them managed to put on a show of 37 buses to keep me busy! And it was lovely and sunny too!!
