those fondant pink tulips were small and very beautiful, also they had a silky shine to them... no 'easy' lighting here...
And to find something 'new' each time... yep, a creative headache...
Hope again that this will make you smile and have a wonderful day and thanx for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

I say a few things...
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN (BY LAW!!!) TO USE ANY OF MY image or TEXT on websites, blogs or any other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved
Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
I had problems with the composition - would I centre the stairs, or the girl and her reflections? Perhaps skip the one to the right? Well, at last I decided this version was the best way to go. :-)
Also? Maple-ey goodness. That yellow blobby stuff? Cow's ice cream shack. Hmmmmmmm ice cream.
Sad bokeh friday, even sadder because I'm a very bad flickr friend. Be around this weekend. Swear (and I do. often).
Covid 19 has definitely created many challenges for me this year including having to move all of my college courses online for the year here in California. While this requirement has caused more than a few headaches for me, it has also provided a unique opportunity. Since all of my classes are now online, I am able to continue to teach regardless of where I am…as long as I have my laptop with me and reliable wifi.
So last month, I took my laptop, packed up the car, and headed off to visit my sister and her family in Arkansas. For 2.5 weeks, I shot forests and waterfalls throughout the Ozarks before venturing further down the state to the Ouachita National Forest and finally further south to the swamps of Southern Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. I had a fantastic time shooting in all sorts of weather (lots of rain and thunderstorms) with leaves changing from the Northern part of the state in Bentonville on towards the South by the time I left.
While I shot some of the swamps in the South on my own, I did meet up with Greg Boratyn toward the end of my trip and together we rented a canoe and explored some of the great Cypress forests in and around Louisiana while we were down there. We also took a couple of boat tours and were fascinated to learn how lanes were cut in these swamps during the late 1800’s to allow the steam ships to travel from town to town as some the areas were far too swampy for roads. No alligators on this trip since the temperatures dipped into the low 40’s when I was there. (They do something called “brumation” when it gets cold?)
Finally, a huge thank you to David Thompson who posted the first Autumn In The Bayou shots I had ever seen. I had no idea that cypress trees changed color in the Fall and probably wouldn’t have thought of visiting the great swamps of the Southern US at all until I came across some of his galleries on his website a couple of years ago.

The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.
