Was it really 3 years ago that I used Paul's "When I'm 64" ditty?
Hard to believe how quickly time passes...and moreso with each passing year.
In this up close and personal selfie, I had to make a cropping decision as to the top of my head or the cat and made the most appealing choice, Star clearly thinking: "Yond Walden has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous." Maybe true a few years ago...but surely no longer...;-)
[Thank you in advance for your wishes. They are all sincerely appreciated. Looking larger even more frightening...]
Lake Roxen, ice is beginning to break up. No wind this morning and misty conditions. The sound of the ice moving, twisting and turning was truly amazing...
Photo a bit processed to enhance the harsh conditions.
Part of Angel Peak Recreational Area in NW New Mexico, USA -- just a tiny portion of this state's badlands.
Beauty lives and thrives in the 800,000 acres of harsh, rugged desert wilderness found at Joshua Tree National Park.
It's been a rough couple of days for wildlife with snow, freezing rain, high winds and cold temps. As much as I love winter I feel so bad for wildlife while they hang on and try to survive another day. I make sure they have plenty of food and fresh water but that is about all I can do.
This image shows how life is harsh for both predator and prey. This male lion was feeding at a kill site in the Masai Mara national reserve on my 2019 trip. There was a large pride present with lions of all ages at the scene. We hung around for some time to watch breakfast being consumed before we headed back to camp to have our own.
Note the flies present on the lion. Everything plays its role in our ecosystems and should be valued as a result.

Designed for grip and comfort. Nice triangular barrel with raised dots for grip. I was surprised on ‘developing’ the macro just how grainy and rough was the wood giving these delightful pencils a harsh look. As you can see, we get through lots of them!

I don't see how the corner of my desk makes for a soft pillow but Jane likes it so what do I know.
Maybe if my head weighed less than a pound and was covered in fur I wouldn't have any issues either.

This little guy was singing his heart out on his little perch looking very pleased with himself !! In particularly harsh winters, Wren populations can deplete significantly by up to as much as 25%. Despite this startling statistic, this is often countered by the large broods created throughout the breeding season. I hope this little guy is one of the lucky ones their fantastic little birds and only weigh as much as a 2p coin .

Blöd wär nur, wenn ich jetzt die Augen schlösse. Und dann öffne und plötzlich wärst Du gar nicht da.

Just a moment. And I keep my eyes open ;-)
I was inspired by the song by Dota / All you, all major

Nur ein Augenblick. Und ich lasse die Augen auf ;-)
Inspiriert hat mich der Song von Dota / Alles Du, alles Dur

Zähneklappern, Zähneknirschen, und dazu die barschen, wirschen
Mienen, Blicke, Kommentare. Das muss das harte, wahre Leben sein,
Jedem sein Los, seine Last, seinen Trost, ich wär fast
Verzweifelt ob der Müh der langen Straßen. Was soll ich hier?
Seh keine weiten Wege, seh nur Fluchtpunkte auf dem Weg zu Dir.
–– Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,
Alles Du, alles Dur, alles nur, ein Kitzellachen, fühl mich wohl,
Das sind Momente, wie Geschenke, wie Getränke mit Limettensaft und Alkohol.
Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal, unbezahlbare Stunden, mal die bunten Bilder an deine Wand, Tage wie Sekunden und Du mein Prinz und Findelkind im Wunderland.
–– Und Patati und Patata, soviel Palaver und ich harder und ich harre und ich starre.
Abracadabra, bin ich da! In deinen vier Wänden ein bergendes Zelt,
Mit dem Fenster zum Himmel, und der Türe zur Welt.
–– Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,
Bin ich frei, bin ich Kind und wir sind unterwegs,
Die Welt steht offen zu entdecken,
Also könn wir uns genausogut noch heute hier verstecken.
Und dann in deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,
Alles Du, alles Dur, blöd wär nur, wenn ich jetzt die Augen schlösse und dann öffne und plötzlich wärst Du gar nicht da.

Chattering teeth, gnashing of teeth, and in addition the harsh, twisting
Expressions, looks, comments. That must be the hard, real life
Everyone his lot, his burden, his consolation, I was almost
Desperate at the effort of the long streets. What am I supposed to do here?
Don't see long ways, just see vanishing points on the way to you.
–– And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,
All you, all major, all just a tickling laugh, feel good,
These are moments like gifts, like drinks with lime juice and alcohol.
And then in your arm, all good, everything else doesn't matter, priceless hours, times the colorful pictures on your wall, days like seconds and you my prince and foundling in Wonderland.
–– And Patati and Patata, so much palaver and I harder and I wait and I stare.
Abracadabra, I'm there! A sheltering tent in your four walls,
With the window to the sky and the door to the world.
–– And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,
I'm free, I'm a child and we're on the go,
The world is open to discover
So we might as well be hiding here today.
And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,
All you, all major, would only be stupid if I now close my eyes and then open and suddenly you would not be there.

Fooling around with a new app, iColorama. Hundreds of effects - lots of fun to play with.
To be clear; this was a photo. iColorama allows you to paint effects over a photo.
Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Tuition
Taken on a three-day workshop that I ran last week in Dorset.
Arriving on the beach at Durdle Door in the middle of the afternoon during harsh light and pure blue skies have you stand and look around at what you can capture that might be even remotely interesting and unusual.
Then I spotted this lovely small cave-like indentation in the white chalky cliffs known as Bat's Head. What were the challenges in shooting from this viewpoint I hear you ask? lol.
Well, for starters, there's not much room in there and setting up a tripod is almost impossible. You certainly need a small travel tripod to even have a chance of setting it up. I had a huge tripod with me so I decided to shoot this scene handheld and furthermore I only needed to capture the scene once despite harsh contrast and a crazy depth of field issue. Saying that my Canon EOS R coped impeccably with the stabilisation of the image, the great depth of field leaving everything sharp to look at, from the rim of the cave to Durdle Door itself as well as the dynamic range coping with the varying degree of light.
The more I use the Canon EOS R, the more impressed I am with it.

Did another processing on this picture/view. The first one's a little bit on the harsher side of hdr. Happy Friday!
We stopped at Tjuvkil outside Kungälv to see if there were some big waves. There were no giant waves but my back-up plan to take some long exposure pictures were totally out of the question when it blew so much that the tripod had probably blown away.
