Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking Close on Friday is : pencil points ! Yes, there is an exclamation point since this theme deserve it ! I love pencils and I love pencils points !
While searching for the perfect pencil points, I stumbled upon this red flying pencil, trying to kiss his old grey lover… So I grabbed my camera and took a picture just before the whole scene disappeared and the red pencil flied away in a blink of an eye…The moral of this story is dont blink or you might miss something! And other moral; dont drink alcohol while taking pictures or you might see some stuff that doesn’t make sense…
I wish you all a beautiful day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
The so called simple subjects seem to be the hardest ones for me. These pencils behaved like divas. I'm learning a lot, I hope.
Amazing light and clouds for this morning shot taken from a BC Ferry on route from Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen.

An older image from the harbour in Flensburg! I found it to be a wonderful place. Since they keep "the points" there (traffic violations and such) I was pleased that there was so much more to this city. I would love to return there one day.
At 10,700 feet elevation the early morning temperature was 41 degrees (f). There were 15 bull elk grazing in a nice open setting.
This group lined up nicely as they went about the business of bulking up for the coming rut and following winter. A pretty good way to spend a July morning for this photographer.

Someone sent me this in an e-mail. I think it is pretty accurate. Have a great week. View large to read easier. The author of this was Jenkins Lloyd Jones.
A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across Convict Lake to nearby mountains of the Mammoth Area ranges. This is on the Lakeshore Trail in Inyo National Forest. while there was definitely quite a bit of wildfire haze and smoke present that afternoon, I attempted to best compose what was visible for an image captured with some nearby trees, the reflections off the lake waters, and then the mountains. I later worked with ClearView Plus tool before using control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 to make some adjustments and bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Been away over the holiday when all the "fun" with this site began and I must say I am not impressed. Has there been any communication form flickr?

Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquilegia
