"Aim just a bit higher Lillywind!" Bree called out as she lobbed yet another snowball toward the aspiring beater. "Best if you hit it straight on!"
Owned by the National Trust this is one of the oldest inns in Britain first documented in 1455 but with much older cellars dating to the 13th century.
I assume it once held pride of place on the market place, but is now accessed by alleyways, hidden behind later buildings that have encroached on the open space, a common practice over the centuries.
Grade II* listed.

Working with off camera lighting. It is not easy but lucky for me I have a voice activated light stand (my husband) to move the lights around. :o)

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Practice for the upcoming eclipse, I took this picture of a small sunspot which I am sure could swallow the Earth.
Practicando para tomar fotos del eclipse, tomé esta foto del Sol mostrando una mancha solar pequeña que seguramente podría envolver la Tierra por completo.
Toby is tolerable with hats, but Riley is a mixed bag. Yesterday (when I was just practicing and not shooting at all) he was excellent.
Today - in front of my iPhone on its tripod (so - minimal setup - see stream for cute little iPhone tripod I use) and he was... unimpressed.
However, since I was using the kitchen lights and NOT the flash - I could take as many pictures (via remote) as I wanted.
Ha!
This was the best in the box (with only TWO that had both dogs with hats and me not in the picture).
(and yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color. This is actually where I shoot all my "studio" photographs - hence the usage of backdrops)

From time immemorial, the poisonous snake has been considered a symbol of medicine and remedy. But it also symbolizes the devil, seduction, evil and, of course, poison.

This is Joshua practicing his glass blowing at a shop in Cabo San Lucas. We visited as part of an organized city tour and some people got to try out blowing a bubble of molten glass. The bubble at the end of the metal rod quickly cooled and then was broken, producing very thin glass shards that were discarded.

I have 3 options for people who would like to practice on hair or on pictures. Feel free to use these to practice your beautiful skills ♥ Thanks in advance
Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.
As everyone was laying claim to their spots for the UP Big Boy to begin its northward journey from Poplar Bluff to St. Louis Missouri, UP MHOAS heads north out of Poplar Bluff and across the Black River. This train provided those already set up the opportunity to get a practice shot, checking exposures, focus points, and compositions before show time.
These shots are for practicing photographing water as long exposure or by averaging several shots.
This is a learning experience for me.
Thank you for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated - deaR♥‿♥
Practice with the new camera...inside shot of silk flowers. Wish these were real! LOL!

If you practice hard enough .. could you achieve anything?
Deep in the basement in this old civic building are the cells, they have an almost 'facility' feeling about them. Wonderful leisurely day with Brother Barnabus and the meeting of 'Pam' . Un Invited
This one is actually from a couple of months back. Recently I've been making an effort to train myself in the art of rope bondage. And with the help of a lot of examples on Flickr, and my friend Linda Lovelace in particular, I've had some degree of success. As Daisy can attest, we've had literally dozens of practice sessions, where I try various techniques and see how secure it is by having Daisy do her best to get loose. The goal being to get to a point where both she and I know she is totally secure, and unable to get free without my help. We don't want our little lady to feel insecure, now do we?? 😜
Anyway, since it was a learning experience and not to the level I would prefer, I haven't posted any of the photos. But I suppose this session wasn't too bad.....so I will post of few shots here and there this week.
If you are curious as to the point of this position, we were playing a old college drinking game called "Hi Bob!". You know that game where you watch old Bob Newhart Show reruns and do a shot every time someone says "Hi Bob!"?? (Yeah, I'm probably showing my age here...) Well I thought of a neat variation on the theme. We watched several episodes, and every time someone said the magic word, Daisy got a shot....with my paddle. And who could blame me....isn't that just a deliciously inviting target??? 😍
