This is a very old cactus and only started re-flowering again in the last couple of years. I got excited when I saw these few buds the other morning and now it has several more. Never give up hope, never say die! 😁😍
THANK YOU FOR ALL VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES.
I am in desperate need of some colour on this dreary wet July day. I wouldn't mind the European heatwave for a few days, minus the wildfires of course. "Montbretia" Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora flowers processed with Liquid colour II filter in Topaz Studio 2.
Looking back at my previous images, I realised this is the 2nd time this same photo has featured in Sliders Sunday (see first comment box below) HSS!
Thank you to all my wonderful Flickr friends for your supportive messages & comments. The garden & polytunnel are keeping me busy so Flickr has taken a back seat lately, apologies for my lack of interaction. Martin's overall health situation has deteriorated slightly & he is reliant on oxygen more for day to day activities, but we are still able to pootle around garden centres & enjoy occasional lunches out. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts & prayers.

Füssen ist ein Touristenmagnet im Ostallgäu. Die Altstadt ist nett, vor allem aber ist die Lage hervorzuheben. Bis zu den Königsschlössern wie Neuschwanstein ist es nur eine kurze Fahrt. Ebenfalls nach kurzer Fahrt zu erreichen sind die bis 2.000 m reichenden Berge in der unmittelbaren Umgebung.
Städte rund um Hohenschwangau
Geschichtlich und kulturell interessierte Menschen können in Hohenschwangau auf den Spuren der bayerischen Könige wandeln, die hier ihre weltbekannten Schlösser Neuschwanstein und Hohenschwangau erbauen ließen. Rund um das Dorf der Königsschlösser erwarten Allgäu-Urlauber aber auch interessante historische Städte, die mit zahlreichen alten Bauwerken und Sehenswürdigkeiten begeistern
Sehr schöne Kirchen ⛪.
Bis zur
Zugspitze nur 46 km.
Die Zugspitze liegt an der deutsch-österreichischen Grenze. Mit der Seilbahn erreichen Sie die Spitze der 2962 Höhenmeter, wo Sie von der Panoramaterrasse an klaren Tagen einen Blick auf die Gipfel von 4 Ländern haben

Last year I got one of those free packets of wildflowers seeds in the mail. I planted them and not much happened. This spring I have some wildflowers in a gorgeous blueish purplish color.

Superposition of 2 photos taken at the same place and at the same time ... it could be 'The Sunrise before the Battle of Austerlitz" (1805).

postprocessing with:
- RawTherapee (curves, B&W conversion)
- Gimp (dodging, burning, add some extra grain, add a light blue tint)
I've added the extra grain for an older look and the tint for a colder look... hope you like it!

For Sunshine Sundays - hope you're all having a great weekend - HSS!
Thanks to pareeerica and masterjinn for their beautiful textures
p.s. I'm sorry to post and dash - I'm going to visit my friend, Lee. I'll be back later tonight to check in on everyone :-)
For Sliders Sunday to help get through the current heatwave - a smiley crab wall. Even the Moomba Parade for tomorrow has been cancelled due to heat though the Birdman event is still going ahead. After all they jump into the Yarra River and there is plenty of shade around that event.
... You could think that the title is more than a bit overstated - and it is, since the phrase "first light" usually applies to the first real observation made by a telescope. But this is my very first try at capturing the Milky Way with my Samyang 14 mm (I bought it some 6 months ago mainly to shoot at the Milky Wya), so be kind and concede it :-)
Not that there is much to be said: I was in Costa Serina, 906 m (= 2972 ft) asl; it was a clear night but not a very dark place; the thinnest waxing crescent moon had set some hours before, and this has been my only chance.
I have learned much useful information by reading the great tutorial by Dave Morrow about Milky Way photography. In the ISO settings section of his tutorial, Dave states that "The camera picks up much more data than is actually displayed on the preview screen. This data can be brought out in post processing." All the same, I have been very much stunned by the really impressive "hidden" amount of information the sensor captured and that was available in postprocessing - a quite naive postprocessing, I must admit. I have everything to learn about this kind of photography, so I will be happy to get positive criticism and suggestions by more experienced photographers!
This started of as three bracketed infrared images. They were merged to a 32 bit file in Photomatix, saved and opened up in Adobe Camera Raw where the 32 bit file was processed. It was then opened up in Photoshop where the red and blue channels were swapped and then it was converted to a 16 bit file, After that it had some processing using Topaz Clarity and Detail filters, before being opened up in Topaz Restyle where the colours were swapped around
Nothing quite heralds the arrival of spring like cherry blossom. The streets and gardens are all the more beautiful right now for the show on these ornamental trees.

Last sunrise on the old trusted berth. The last sunrise for the Noordhinder on this old trusted berth. It is the day of the relocation to the new Koningskade also in Hellevoetsluis. A beautiful fresh sunny day to festively welcome the Lightship in the historic naval harbor where she will become a real maritime attraction together with other historic ships and the dry dock.

Lichtschip 12 De Noord-Hinder - Relocation
This Lightship (Est. 1963) is the last lightship built in the Netherlands. On March 21, 1994, this last Dutch lightship was definitively taken from the sea and is now a museum ship in Hellevoetsluis. The all orange ship in maintained by a group of passionate volunteers keeping the ship in authentic state. The ship has been in service at several places on the North Sea off the Dutch coast and is still well known to many shipping crews.
The Noord-Hinder is 45.4 meters long, 8.35 meters wide, draft 3.2 meters, displacement 510 tons and was equipped with a few small diesel engines. The light, in an 18-meter tower above sea level, had a range of 27 nautical miles. The light from the 4,200-watt lamp was amplified by a Fresnel lens and emitted 2 flares every 10 seconds. It was also equipped with a radar beacon and fog horn.
