This Monarch butterfly came and went from all the volunteer Swamp milkweed plants in the garden several times. I tried to get close with the macro lens and she was having none of it. The big glass worked best with me keeping in the shadow of the patio roof and shooting into the milkweeds around the pond.
The side of a local eatery.....the challenge this time was to group a portrait shot, a square shot and a landscape version of the same subject.

I wonder if this is as disorienting to everyone as it is to me to look at. I took the image, and I have rotated it in a certain manner. I wonder if the sort of weird feeling I get when looking at it has to do with my knowledge of the image's proper orientation, or if it visually does that to the viewer even without knowing the proper orientation.
Don't get me wrong, after much internal debate, I find the current rotation makes the greatest visual impact and is the best for this image, but then again I keep getting a little dizzy every time I look at it, so perhaps I'm way off base!! :-)))))
Lovely early morning walk on the Mendips at Deerleap near Priddy looking down on the mist that coated the Somerset Levels.
🔥 Love Babe Mini by Oh!
There are nights when the need no longer whispers — it commands.
And I obey.
Not the need of weakness… but the deep, undeniable longing to be wanted. To be seen. To be chosen and held in the quiet gravity of devotion. Tonight, I dress not for the world — but for the one whose gaze defines my surrender.
The Love Babe Mini by Oh! is not simply a dress. It is an offering.
Its silhouette clings with deliberate intimacy — a plunging neckline that draws the eye downward, thin straps that rest like quiet restraint against my shoulders, and a hemline daringly high, reminding me that submission has always carried a uniform. From tightly laced corsets of centuries past to the silk slips worn in candlelit chambers, women have adorned themselves not merely for fashion — but to please, to entice, to belong to a moment that feels larger than themselves.
This piece understands that history.
The fabric drapes like a second skin. Full sheer, half sheer, or solid — the choice rests within the HUD, yet it feels like a ritual of permission. Transparency becomes vulnerability. PBR richness catches the light with a luminous sheen, turning every movement into a slow revelation. A delicate waist chain detail glimmers softly, framing my curves as if placed there with intention — a subtle reminder that beauty can kneel without breaking.
The HUD offers control wrapped in temptation:
❤️ classic crimson
deep wine
🔥 scarlet heat
nude innocence
midnight surrender
Each color rendered in high-definition PBR, each transparency setting adjustable — allowing the dress to whisper or confess as boldly as the night requires.
Compatible mesh bodies:
– Legacy
– Legacy Perky
– Reborn
– Reborn Petite
– Reborn Squish
– Waifu
– LaraX
– Petyte
Every contour embraced. Every curve honored.
When I slip into Love Babe, I feel the shift — the quiet transformation that happens when need overtakes hesitation. The neckline invites attention; the high-cut hem elongates my legs; the sheer options leave just enough to imagination that anticipation lingers in the air between us.
Submission, at its most powerful, is not forced — it is chosen.
And I choose red.

As Yves Saint Laurent said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
And when desire becomes devotion, style becomes unforgettable.
Spent an hour today with the members of a great band of horses from the Spring creek Range and these two were fighting off and on all the time

Der große Teich im Bad Nauheimer Kurpark wird über einen Zulauf aus der Usa gespeist. Dieser Kanal muss saniert werden. Die Sanierungsmaßnahmen können nur durchgeführt werden, wenn das Bauwerk trocken ist. Hierzu wird der Wasserstand im großen Teich ab abgesenkt. Ferner wird ein Schachtbauwerk für den Wasserablauf errichtet.

The large pond in Bad Nauheim's spa gardens is fed by an inlet from the River Usa. This channel needs to be renovated. The renovation work can only be carried out when the structure is dry. For this purpose, the water level in the large pond will be lowered. In addition, a shaft structure will be constructed for the water drainage.
When you defeat all the other members of the household, this is the final boss to beat.
Happy Whiskers Wednesday!
Somerset House in London, is always showing something interesting. You've noticed the S shapes all over the stairwell. That is Nelson's stairwell one of the most beautiful and an attraction point in Somerset House.
At my visit time, a silhouette just made it through the half open door, while another at ground floor, just passed by. Still I was able to catch an enigmatic young woman as she made it pass the top part.
Taken with a Samsung phone camera. Pointing straight up at the skylight, on level 3 of the Myer Centre shopping complex.

7DWF, Saturdays: Landscapes
Yes, I know. I should have taken a look at the Crazy Tuesday discussions a little earlier. Though it is debatable whether this blue is pretty at all. The apartments there are certainly very expensive. Nonetheless, after the recent lost places decay (more will follow), I wanted to show something more glossy for a change ;-) Taken during a boat trip on the River Spree and Landwehr Canal in Berlin in summer 2016. This apartment house called "Living Levels" is a new residential tower located at the riverside of the Spree next to the famous East Side Gallery. The building, actually the entire development of the Spree riverside, is very controversial. Most of the new (residental) buildings are / will be luxury buildings, while affordable living space is a scarce commodity nowadays. The irony: The tenants of the Living Levels tower are now fighting against a new hotel which is supposed to be built next to their building. They claim that the hotel will block out the morning sun.
At this point I still had my manual vintage 50mm Zuiko lens mounted, but the 100 mm (crop factor 2 for MFT) on my OM-D were too much tele. Later on that trip I switched to the m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8.
Wohnturm "Living Levels" am Spreeufer neben der East Side Gallery. Das Bauprojekt (eigentlich alle Bauprojekte dort) war sehr umstritten, Stichwörter: Verdrängung, Gentrifizierung, Mediaspree... Nun klagen die Bewohner des Luxubaus selbst, denn neben ihrem Haus soll nicht nur ein Hotel errichtet werden (bereits in der ursprünglichen Planung enthalten), es soll auch noch zwei Stockwerke höher werden als geplant. Und das nimmt ihnen die Morgensonne weg.
Aufgenommen während einer Bootsfahrt auf Spree und Landwehrkanal im Sommer 2016. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich noch mein manuelles 50-mm-Zuiko drauf, aber die 100 mm, die daraus an meiner OM-D werden, waren doch zu viel Tele. Später habe ich dann das m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8 angeschraubt.
Hört man den Begriff "Autostadt", so denkt das Hirn sofort an schicke Schlitten, protzige Statussymbole und moderne Technologie... das stimmt in den meisten Fällen ja auch.
Bei meinem letzten Besuch in Wolfsburg vor zwei Wochen mit Elke und Matthias Körner fand ich jedoch voller Freude und Erstaunen diese neue Ausstellung im Automobilmuseum.
Der interessierte Besucher kann sich hier auf eine Reise begeben, für die nicht ein Liter Sprit oder Diesel verwendet wird.
Monitore, Schaltflächen und andere interaktive Möglichkeiten laden ein zur Selbstanalyse (wie groß ist mein ökologischer Fußabdruck?)
... zum Vergleich (wie teuer kommt die Umwelt meine Ernährung zu stehen)
... zum Nachdenken (welche Formen der Mobilität kann ich austauschen - und womit?)
Der abgedunkelte Raum mit angehängten Bildschirmen, integrierten Sitz- und Liegeflächen, virtuellen Gesprächspartnern und den Verbindungslinien, zwischen denen man sich wie im Zentrum eines riesigen Zentralcomputers bewegt, leitet einen immer weiter in seine Tiefe, man muss nur den grünen Lebensadern folgen! ... ;-)

On the way to Dorjeeling village in Menchukha valley.
Menchukha is a picturesque valley situated at around 6000 feet above sea level in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India.The Yargyapchu River flows through this serene and beautiful valley.The name Menchukha means "medicinal water of snow" Men - medicine ,chu - water and kha - snow.The valley is home to the Adi and Memba tribes and the population is mainly Buddhist.
The weather was not too good during our two day trip but I did manage a few decent shots.
Paint me in your sunshine
Wake my sleepy eyes
Round me in your comfort
Stay with me for all of time
Reach your hand, I'll follow
Darken clouds for your rays of hope
So paint me in your sunshine
Walk with me, stay by my side
Fill my head with stories
For love and war and glory
Reach your hand, I'll follow
Light the path that will lead me home .
One day the world will grow colder
Everything we've come to cherish crumbles
And only then will we turn back and remember your glow
