Not quite a Constable painting but it was taken in Dedham, where the great master lived and created most of his masterpieces.

Honesty
.....the ONLY policy!!
Honesty (Lunaria) - in my garden and in my heart. With the latter, unlike the former, it doesn't just appear in spring, there are no stages, no tweaking, no compromises and no exceptions, it is a guiding Light, Take it or leave it.
In the times of inversion and great deceit in which we live, a world where lies are the accepted norm, from the very top down and throughout all media, then speaking the truth is considered a subversive act ..... or at least it soon will be.
It is an interesting contemplation that honesty and truth are not necessarily synonymous. Truth by definition is honest, but without honesty that which is true can be difficult to discern.
This flower also has lovely papery white seed pods that the sun shines through and illuminates in autumn.
or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign :-)

I am off to France for a long weekend ...will not be posting any more images until next Tuesday. Will be excited to see all the things my friends have posted when I return.
In this scene from a nearby village there is a lot of activity near the post box but no letters being posted. The couple on the left in their country attire ..the shoppers on the right and the seated man checking his phone !!
Played around with the levels and introduced a little radial blurring to create this. One of the dodgy shots my 28-75 was producing all morning!
HSS!
I visited Japanese garden again yesterday (1st Sep, the first day in spring here! Fortunately fine day) to see cherry blossoms. They are behind this area. Full bloom now. Australian Cherry blossoms last very long.

looking up in the night time sky, 7500ft above sea level, not much light pollution to drown out the stars.
A hokey title, I know... :)
I'm not sure what these are but I saw them on a bush nearby.
Taken with Pentacon AV 80mm and 12mm extension tube.
The hard thing to do of course is to find a way to photograph a mundane subject or a mundane event in a way that makes it exciting.

Since 2 years now I moved away from Adobe Ransonware, I am wondering if I should go back. Sometime I feel On1 is not rendering image like LR/PS was doing. For now I save 16$ a month for 2 years. May be I should do a trial an see where LR/PS are now, I still can use ON1 as a addon.
Not sure if LR has now the luminosity mask like ON1.
Not welcome.
A red tailed hawk greeted rudely by a peregrine falcon, on a cloudy morning (the Pacific Ocean is in the bg).
The red tail landed in the peregrine territory and was quickly attacked by both resident falcons. The hawk left, got away unharmed this time but I've seen the peregrines take down the much larger hawk.
but to meet you on a hill.

One single pink rose among the yellow/orange variety elsewhere. Sometimes I think Mother Nature adds her own touch here and there.
Not the easiest of locations on the busy access road in a dark, mainly poorly backlit hedge; and pot luck if it shows tolerably for photos to boot. Pleased to have got something.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your faves and comments.

For Macro Monday, Aug 14
Theme: high key
I'm deeply saddened by the events over the weekend and felt the need to speak of love in a visual art form, so I combined the MM theme with the message.
Love,
Dee
The flowers represent so much in humans, the flower that it is of the type of roses, tulips, lilies, dahlias, hydrangeas ... They are the heart that everyone protects in secret, sensitive side that we do not show for not not lose its strength, and this sincere side so fragile that all our petals have lost it ... so yes flowers are not only for women. 💐 🌷 🌹 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌻
This used to be the Jumeirah Hotel Frankfurt until this April. It was the first Jumeirah on the European continent. Obviously, not as successful as it needed to be.
In the back of this image the IG Farben Haus, the Deutsche Bundesbank and the Ginnheimer Spargel (TV tower) all line up in front of the slopes of the Taunus.

This crimson beauty brought me back to my Goth days, dressed head to toe in everything Black, even currently listening to Gary Numan whilst I type this out. This was actually the last photo I took on way back home after a brief walkabout yesterday, before it started raining and some of the droplets you can see on the petals. I have barely touched this photo in post processing, not much enhanced saturation at all nor light adjustments, sometimes organic should mean just that.
I decided the dust off the Tamron 70-200mm as it gives a very good bokeh, but I find the D5600 offers plenty more texture in the blowout than my old D3400. Moderate D-Active Lighting and auto WB. It had clouded over due to the rain and the Sunlight was quickly diminishing. So I think is as natural as you can get.
Is it me or has this week felt particularly long? Anyway, it's Friday tomorrow, and so as always thank you! :)
