Brand "Suppenkasper" ("Soup clown"), a soup made of chicken/tuna with fine pieces of meat. Timmy does not like the meat pieces, so I have to pour the soup through a sieve :-)))
I like the brand "Suppenkasper", it really is a genius name !

Of course she was motivating me to stay home and give her cheese instead of going for a bike ride… but still motivating me.
A Honey Bee focused on working the flowers. The only processing here is reducing the saturation for this effect.
I did this one a few weeks ago with several others. I think it's kinda sexy so thought I'd post it before it gets lost.

Here's a link to my other Flickr photos:
It's really hard for me to try to explain how hard it is to motivate myself to do any photography these days whilst I continue to recover from my knee injury. Recovery has been seriously interrupted by lockdowns and closures of gyms...indeed, I've not even been able to see a physio for over 6 months. With all of that my fitness has suffered considerably and so even short excursions can sometimes feel like I'm hitting the wall at mile 22 of a marathon. Therefore, the thought of making the effort to climb a hill for photography when the conditions are less than ideal...well, it doesn't appeal.
When on the hill, a different fear now presents itself. Fear of another injury. I used to head out without a care in the world really. Sure, I might slip and fall, but I always felt that I was the master of my own destiny, even in those circumstances...but now it is different. My body just failed when I injured my knee, with very little in the way of warning, just a little knee pain like I've had for years anyway. The actual step I took when my tendon snapped was so incredibly innocuous, it's the type of step I've taken thousands, if not millions, of times before...it was just like going down the stairs at home...but in that moment, my tendon chose when I was alone, on a hill, in inclement weather and without a mobile signal, to snap...not at home, going down the stairs. And now, although the injured knee presents no pain, my other one does, so the fear is that that will someday go too, as so often seems to happen with people who rupture one tendon, eventually the other one ruptures too. Add to that a lack of strength in the injured knee, some balancing issues and a tendency to give way without warning...that all adds up to a heck of a lot of nervousness when going off the beaten track.
The day I took this photo was no different in many ways. I was solo. The weather was inclement. There was no-one really around. I did have some extra protection in the form of a satellite transceiver that enables me to send an SOS and I did tell my wife where I was this time. But with boggy conditions underfoot, it still meant my mind wasn't wholly invested in photography until I'd set up my tripod and decided to wait, in the cloud and drizzle, for things to happen. And so I waited...and waited...and waited. About 2 hours later I felt the subtle change in temperature on my neck as the sun tried to break through the misty conditions. Poised with my finger on the shutter just hoping for the mistiness to clear a little to reveal the landscape, the conditions brightened to the left of the scene you see here until not only were the two tress visible, but also the landscape beyond...and low and behold, a rainbow. What resulted was a stitch pano consisting of 7 vertical frames and 160 megapixels of Lake District loveliness. This scene lasted for all of 30 seconds...and then it was gone.
I don't tend to big-up my photography, especially these days. I tend to work behind the scenes, especially for anything from Snowdonia, where I spend most of my time, refining my project and building, what I hope will be, a quality book. However, when I go elsewhere, it is sometimes nice to share what I captured, and I think even I like this one enough to shout about it.

Today was one of those lazy days when it comes to photography, I kept putting off picking up the camera and finally as the light was starting to sink I figured I'd better get moving.
What better for a day of procrastinating than a photo of a motivator... that and I was a little stumped on inspiration and coffee is always a good model!
Anyway hope everyone has had a good day, and a Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

Thanks for all comments in the last days! It really motivates me. My alarm clock is set to 4:00 am for tomorrow :)

Spain, Valencia, Plaza del Negrito, … fresh lemon picked for your Gin Tonic, the square before officially renamed was until the 1940s called Plaza de Calatrava, thus baptized after the reconquest of València, since the King "Jaume I" decided to donate it to the Order of Calatrava.
The "Cafe El Negrito", named after his location on this square is one of the Carmen's quarter most popular hangouts & during summer months, the "young" crowd regularly spill out on to the square of the same name, the atmosphere is lively & the drinks flow until early in the morning.
Café Negrito has been a benchmark for almost four decades, a highlight of classic Valencian nightlife & one of the oldest businesses in Carmen since it opened its doors in 1982. Exhibitions, musical sessions, a meeting place for both, a good coffee or a drink. This characteristic place opens until dawn every day, claiming its reputation as a 'safe value' in leisure.

To reach this place you have to climb bare foot 700 steps. This old lady was not able to stand straight but she climbed these many cumbersome steps so that she can pray in this famous Jain holy place.

Germany, Hamburg, Rally Hamburg-Berlin-Classic 2015,
The 1958 Jaguar XK 150 FHC, a sports car produced by Jaguar between 1957 & 1961; initially it was available in Fixed Head Coupé, FHC, version, like the one on the photo & as Drophead Coupé, DHC, version.
Speed is not the point at the 8th Hamburg-Berlin Classic. The motto of the three days rally, the 8th since 2008, is rather, when driving with the automotive legends,…travel instead of racing.
The driver of the 180 classic cars contest enjoy a yearly varying route from Hamburg to Berlin, or Berlin to Hamburg, like this year.

China, Beijing, Dashanzi 798 Art Zone, located in the Chaoyang District.
The three digit number "798" which stands for much more than the numbers for this once booming compound for the State's pre-reform electronic industries, in Beijing these numbers symbolize country's cutting edge art movement by the Chinese vanguard, untied artistic personalities with alternative life goals.
China's artist vanguard has turned an industrial graveyard into an artistic paradise wild & unconquered attitudes breeze inside 798's free & inconsequential atmosphere.
The large area was once a booming compound for the State’s pre-reform electronic industries, the buildings, designed by the former East German Republic & constructed with help from the now former Soviet Union, were vital for China's old industrial development projects & they're just as key to the art scene at 798.
Old Maoist slogans are visible on the ceiling arches. The Dashanzi factory complex began 1951, production in 1957, as an extension of the "Socialist Unification Plan" of military-industrial cooperation between the Soviet Union & the newly formed People's Republic of China.
Attracted by the Bauhaus Style buildings, around 2002 an amazing reincarnation process began when artists' studios started cheerily popping up like daisies over graves.
This area feels an affinity to what can be discovered & sensed along the Left Bank in Paris or around Greenwich Village, NYC. 798 has become the biggest arts area in China & earned great international reputation acclaim in just two years.
📌 …Artists began to gather to re-make the factory spaces, gradually developing them into swanky galleries, hip art centres, artists' studios, design companies, fashion stores, cosy coffeehouses, bistros, restaurant, bars etc. …..& one of my favoured paces in Beijing.

FRIENDSHIP:
World can be cold and hostil. But we can always find someone to share it!
Foto original/My original photo:
China, Harbin, “Ice & Snow World”, all the buildings are constructed with natural blocks of ice.
The “Ice & Snow World” across the Song Hua River is Part of the Harbin “Ice Lantern Festival”, at night all sculptures, up to 80 mtr high, are colourful lighted with LED. Over a 100.000 tons of ice blocks cut from the Song Hua River are used for the festival. Harbin with a population of almost 3.5 million, is heralded as the Ice City for its well-known unbelievably impressive ice & snow creations during the yearly international “Ice & Snow Festival” from the end of December until early March.
Harbin is also well known besides his important historic & economic past & present for China, for its historical Russian heritage, this cultural influence is still notable till today.
Everywhere in the City you will find Ice Carvings of all Sizes, besides there are several Expositions in different Park. The three major Parks are the Snow Sculptures at the Park on Sun Island, they are more artistic, the ice carvings at the Zhao Lin Park - Harbin Ice & Snow World are gigantic & illuminated at Night, in the centre of the city is the Disneyland Ice Festival. Ice-lanterns can date back to ancient times. It was said that some fishermen made rough & simple ice-lanterns made of ice just for lighting. With the time passed, ice-lanterns embodied their cultural features & artistic fascination gradually of making of ice-lanterns, ice sculptures started in the 1960s.

Due to the Siberian high & Harbin in the Heilongjiang Province location above 45 degrees north latitude, the city is known for having the most bitterly cold winters among major Chinese cities. Winter temperatures can drop to below -35° C., when I visited Harbin beginning of January the Temperature varied between -20°C & -26°C below, but with dry air.
