There was a problem with Flickr Mobile App and this image and others kept appearing under someone else's name and the only way I could solve the issue was to remove it and post it again. I have reported it to the person involved who is a Admin of a well respected group and to the flickr team. I await their reply!

A lovely sunrise this morning but unable to rush out due to cracked ribs after a heavy fall on the ice onto my back last Monday which has all but laid me up.
I still have not been able to get out lately ( at least when conditions are good) . Baseball season will be over soon and I should have more time for photography. I took this shot late last winter. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Peonies at the UC Botanical Garden. Right on schedule for Mother’s Day!
Peonies are important in Chinese herbal medicine. These are blooming in the university's Chinese Medicinal section.

Late afternoon at Hambersham is always a dramatic spot especially in Fall as late afternoon sun highlights the trees and exhaust of a southbound coal train trying to climb Duff Mountain.
Shooting with the Fuji X I can imitate the Nikon photo very closely but chose to do what Fuji X does best: be creative. I started with an in camera processed JPEG image, Softened the highlights & shadows. then ran it through photoshop for a different look: this is the result
While Fuji will never replace Nikon, [but would like Nikon to be more like Fuji X]. It is a viable camera that is easy & fun to use and takes quality photos.
I shot this about an hour earlier than the original, so the light is a bit stronger, and had to compensate by under exposing by about 1 to 2 stops to bring highlights into about zone 6 /7. Then bring up the shadows & blacks in Lightroom.
I have given serious thought to trading in my Nikon gear for a Fuji XT4. WE will see.
Little Owl - Athene noctua
I have been photographing this local Little Owl on and off for a couple of years and an early morning visit to its favourite oak tree in June provided the opportunity for my best shots yet of the adult and, for the first time at this site, a fledgling.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour like these maple leaves, which are just starting to get a hint of the rich gold, orange and red tones they will soon have.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
These sunlit weeping cherry leaves looked even brighter against the Japanese red maple and sky in the front yard.
Not really Autumn but those colours give that impression! I use fill-in-flash to highlight the leaf and droplets!
There is no sin in being on the pathway; the spiritualists are wrong. But there is a sin in loving our road instead of our home; the materialists are wrong. There is no sin in being on the road, in being corporeal, in being finite, in being homo viator, in having responsibility for things outside, below, and now; there is only sin in settling for the lesser, and not letting it awaken an appetite for the greater.
