And sooooo after a helluva long time away, me is back! At least in part, been so preoccupied with DIY, Home Improvements and painting, as well as just wanting to take a break from photography, I decided to take advantage of the sudden nice weather after a mild start to Spring. Went for my usual walkabout, which means wondering for miles in no particular direction in search of no particular shot and I accidently happened upon this cemetery.
I have to say, and in well meaning respects, graveyards are actually beautiful places, I do however draw the line somewhat, as I never take shots of actual grave stones identifying people, I never step over nor onto an actual gravesite and always say a quiet thank you, in respects for deceased occupier of the grave.
These flowers were at such an angle I caught the sun rays, which felt like life upon death, hence the word serenade came to mind.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Dang! Where does this twig fit? This DIY thing seems to be a bad idea. Next time I'll hire a contractor.
Just about every small town in the Midwest has one or more of these…an empty lot caused by the removal of one of the old buildings in a commercial row. Looking a bit like a missing tooth, what can you do with it? The days of commercial prosperity have flown the coop and about all you have now that is viable is a Casey’s gas station and a Dollar Store. These old commercial rows present a challenging situation for a bold entrepreneur who can think outside the box. Maybe we should just order dentures.
Everything I said about the previous photograph applies here too. Shooting street scenes requires us being aware of more than just the subject in front of us. Here the light and shade, textures on the wall, and especially the colour, are the key elements. Here there's a nod to the late Canadian photographer Fred Herzog (1930-2019).
Cill Chriosd Manse House, Nr Broardford, Isle of Skye
I'll give you a break from Valencia for a while!
Back to March and my trip up to Skye. I met up with Skyeweasel and although the weather/tides meant Elgol was pretty pointless she was kind enough to show me a few locations I'd not shot before on the Broadford to Elgol road.
I'd seen this old manse house on a map and aerial photo and had it in mind to try to find but Louise took me straight there and we must have spent 90mins at least trying different povs and portrait v Landscape orientations. The snow on the mountains added a different feel. Several areas of rock existed to create leading lines and this was one of them.
Have to say I really enjoyed this location so once again my sincere thanks to Louise for her help and guidance on the day. Check out her channel if you haven't already www.flickr.com/photos/95388056@N02

Nice to see the trees getting away in the enclosure's .. 20yrs time there'll be quite a difference and improvement
This house looked so sad for a very long time. The area at the front was overgrown and full to bursting with three cornered leeks.
It took the new owners a bit of time, but it's now looking lovely. You can just see the Welcome sign I took a photo of on the left hand wall - www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/50176710771/in/album-7...
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
'twas great fun watching a pair shore up their nest in anticipation of little ones this morning.

The Little Old Woman finally found a cobbler to add on to her shoe. Of course, now there is room for more children.
Created by blending elements from several Wombo images.
Thanks to Cindy Mc for the idea

Some of my old 1/72 were pretty rushed and all getting a good revisit. Much improved Mig-29 and now working on some camo versions.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any comments and faves are always appreciated. Have a great day!
The work never ends for a pair of nesting Blue-gray Gnatcatchers as this male returns to the nest bearing a clump of spider silk that will be woven into the nest.

Cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine.

I last stopped to photograph this small ruined building near Elphin back in 2014 ('Des Res'). It sits atop a small 'hill' with stunning views to Cul More and Suilven at left and right. The skies on this visit were particularly 'angry', rendering the mountains as almost black. I was pleased to see that perhaps this is not quite as abandoned as I thought; there was some additional, unexpected garden furniture added since my last visit.
