Common Wood Nymph butterfly waiting for some early morning sun to warm things up.

 

Not so common... can be abundant.

Aker Brygge on a cloudy December afternoon

Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.

There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.

  

The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

 

And ofcourse the focus is on the grass.

Happy Bench Monday

Last night it was -30°C = -22°F

 

"The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to."

Very nervous Red-spotted Purple butterfly taking a brief moment of rest on a Maple leaf during a stiff breeze.

 

Mimic of the poisonous Pipevine butterfly. Considered by some as the most beautiful butterfly in the area.

 

Uncommon and infrequently encountered. Shares sub species status with the White Admiral butterfly.

(Deeply cropped image using a truly great lens)

 

Gotta say, I’m not sure ‘Bella’ is the most apt name for that one!

Anthocharis Cardamines.

 

Taken in dull conditions. A single frame handheld with no added light (except in pp). This female is sat on a dandelion seed head.

Vert minor processing, I don't usually take simple shots like this by really likes the light and color.

Taken the same day as the Cherry blossom was spotted as I sat feeling unwell gazing out of my living room window. One short walk from my own front door along a roadside verge yielded up so many opportunities It felt exiting and unbelievable. It really was nothing but a bit of scrubland along the road yet these tiny flowers made it through what was more of a dog toilet tbh...Taken using a Sony A7R2 with a CZ Pancolar vintage lens wide open. The plane of view was extremely sharp but out of the wind I managed sharp focus where I desired it to keep this tiny gift under wraps and keep these forget me nots looking as precious as it felt that day to me...I feel a little better and took two short walks this week.

Thank you for your patience as I continue to catch up with comments :)

Sunset and reflection captured from Barassie Beach in Ayrshire, Scotland.

 

The shifting sandbanks often create these slowly emptying pools as the tide goes out on the beach at Barassie. I captured this handheld at arms length with some much practiced blind aiming.

 

The sun setting over the Isle of Arran is one of the most beautiful benefits of living in this part of the world.

 

Enjoy!

A quick landscape shot from Barassie Beach, Troon, Scotland.

 

An imperfect handheld shot, with some blown out highlights and a shallower depth of field than I would really like. I haven't picked up my camera in months, I am ashamed to admit, not at least with the intention of photographing something specific - and I am far from being a landscape photographer!

 

I can't believe that I now live just 1 mile from this view! A sea view being well outside of my price bracket but just 1 mile is close enough to call this home.

 

The sun was on it's way to setting with some gorgeous crepuscular rays over the Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Arran and the majestic outline of Goatfell. Off to the right was a storm cell and some huge downpour rainbands which I have captured in some other shots to come in the future. It was hard to believe that the two scenes were in the same place - it looked apocalyptic to the right of frame!

 

I put my back out again crouching for this shot but it has been in a bad way since moving day. More physiotherapy required but despite that and the imperfections in my shot, it feels like a lovely view of my new place in this beautiful world of ours. Enjoy.

Handheld, I have now ordered a pocket tripod so I can get these stopped down a little more and longer exposures at lower iso.

Clouds in the sky after a rainy morning. I went to Oak Canyon to get out and smell the fresh air. This set was captured from the same spot on a hill top. I was lucky today. It was a good day.

 

I had seconds to get this shot. Good thing my camera was on and close to the correct settings.

TRESA, I know your a big fan of my STREAM,

for all you do, this one's for YOU.... ;)

View of Panamint Valley from Hunter Mountain and Saline Valley Road.

Will get the tripod out next time.

WHEN SHE GETS MY MONEY SAVED...

I'm GONNA START TOMORROW,

I'm GONNA KICK TOMORROW.....

Did not have the opportunity to capture Mr Rainbow this season. Managed to improve the PPing of these shots to get decent IQ. The shooting condition was very dim and shaded. Shot handheld with 1/8 sec. That's why I am hanging on to my Oly system for dear life - the great image stabilisation and Pro Capture feature.

 

Thank you my friends for popping by.

I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Day

 

Take care and stay safe everyone
