Accentuation de l'ombre et de la lumière sur mon aquarelle de concours. Elle commence à me plaire davantage. Elle n'est pas finie mais beaucoup plus en rapport avec ce que je voulais donner comme impression initiale.
Shot on iPhone 11 Pro.
This scene of what I guess is a rose (it’s in the rose garden) with city views in the background is the cliche New Farm Park photo.
Grotte de demoiselles, la vierge à l'enfant.
Un berger nommé Jean y tomba en recherchant une brebis égarée. En retournant au village, il raconta qu’il avait vu des milliers de fées danser autour de lui.
Il n’en fallu pas plus pour qu’on lui donna le nom de « Bauma de las fadas, de las damaiselas » ce qui en occitan signifie « grotte des fées ou des demoiselles ». Ces fées que croyaient apercevoir les paysans lorsqu’ils osaient s’approcher du gouffre n’étaient autres que les stalactites drapées de calcite blanche.

These wintertime visitors are always a treat and so the encounters are always special to me. The one that was one his perch stepped down into the shallow water to join the second Roseate Spoonbill that arrived a few minutes later. So, it was now a double your pleasure moment with the Spoonbills while the White Pelican stretched and contorted off in the distance on Horsepen Bayou.

I have just uploaded some shots from the Swanage Railway's brilliant Bulleid event on the Sunday earlier this year. This shot is of 35018 'British India Line'. For the rest of the Bulleids see - davebowles.smugmug.com/Recent-events-and-uploads/9th-June...
For Dave C. and other Flickr Friends too, I think the soul of this picture is that even though the leaf is dying, it has brilliant color that belies that. The little pinpoint like things on the leaf's edge are intriguing, and well-focused for a hand-held shot. Also the cute little guys that look like blueberries but aren't, make me smile.

Cascades glacées autour du camp de base du Nevado Illimani (6438m) dans la Cordillère royale bolivienne.
D'après diapositive.
Icy waterfalls around Nevado Illimani base camp (6438m) in the Bolivian Cordillera Real.
According to slide.
La technique de cramponnage en pointe avant est une technique où les pointes avants des crampons sont plantées dans la glace en escalade glaciaire ou coincées en escalade mixte ou dry tooling. Elle est utilisée dans les parois très raides, verticales voire en dévers. Elle a longtemps été opposée à la technique du cramponnage à dix pointes ou technique française. En effet, même si le cramponnage en pointe-avant semble plus naturel, dans des pentes faibles (moins de 45°), il est préférable d'utiliser la technique du cramponnage à dix pointes pour soulager les chevilles

Today is a special day.
First up, it’s the 4 year birthday of my photoblog, www.murphyz.co.uk. 4 years ago today I started posting images there, and after a month of daily posting I cut back to Monday thru Friday of posting a new image, so just 5 per week instead of 7. That has continued throughout. Through busy schedules, illness, travel and various other distractions, I have somehow managed to post an image without fail during the whole of that period.
I think that’s pretty awesome.
I've learnt a lot in the past 4 years, and improved greatly. I've met some amazing people, and made some great friends. I've also changed as a person. From someone who never used to like to travel, I've started to do a lot more of that. 4 years ago when I started the blog I had visited 5 foreign countries; by the time I finish the trip I'm currently on that total will be 34 countries…and that’s due to photography.
However, it’s now at an end. As the title of this post suggests, I will not…indeed I can not…continue to do the same. I’m not sure I’m learning anything through posting daily. I’m no longer finding that I am enjoying it in the same way as I used to either. Sure, I love being out there and taking photos, I love processing them, and I love to share them – however I can do all of that without having to post daily. There were too many times last year when I felt I had to post just for the sake of posting, and my heart wasn’t in those particular images. There’s one thing for creating something and sharing it because you want to, but it’s another thing when you are just going through the motions and creating something because you feel you have to. Quality suffers as a result.
I also want to free up more time to do other things. Work takes up a large portion of my life, and much of my ‘spare’ time in the past year has been travelling. In between those and trying to maintain some sort of social life I had tried to fit in photography and daily posting of images. That doesn’t leave time for much else, and there are lots of projects I wish to work on. If I can free up the hours I spend on processing and apply these elsewhere, I think that would be a great thing.
It’s not the end completely. I will still be posting images, they just won’t be daily any more. Chances are, if you follow me on the social network sites instead of the blog itself, then you may not notice any difference as I don’t post all of my images on sites other than my blog. However, I can’t guarantee when I’m posting. It won’t be daily, it may not even be weekly or monthly. I guess it just depends on how I feel, what I’m up to, where I go, and those kinds of things.
In one way it will be sad to stop. Part of me thinks ‘give it another year’ as 5 years seems like a better number to end on. However, as I’m typing this I’m feeling pretty pleased by it.
For the next 10 days I’m going to be spending time in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand – so the chances are these will be the next images you see from me once I’ve returned.
See you soon.

Quelques tables près d'une pâtisserie étaient providentiellement installées sur le trottoir boulevard Voltaire, au cœur d'une brocante.
Je me suis installé pour dessiner un stand, surmonté d'un parasol lumineux.
J'étais intrigué par les deux personnes aux extrémités. Sur la droite un jeune homme en bleu dans la partie sombre, exténué, s'écroulant de sommeil sur un banc.
De l'autre côté, plus éloignée dans l'allée la gérante du stand. Plus tard je lui ai montré le dessin. Je lui ai dit que son stand me plaisait. Elle m'a parlé du jeune homme assis, son fils.
Il l'aide pour déménager les objets du stand dans un camion. Ce qui explique son état de fatigue.
Je suis revenu le lendemain compléter le dessin, les objets exposés et les chineurs.
