this book was a great book. A true story. Maybe you read it too ?
I wrote my Camino story (ON FOOT IN FRANCE- you can find it on Amazon).
J'aime beaucoup lire et écrire aussi. Le récit de mon aventure sur le Chemin de Compostelle est disponible sur Amazon ( MON CAMINO EN FRANCE).
Not what I originally intended but with bare trees the light was just too harsh, nothing really to get the reflective bokeh I was looking for, oh well

I read somewhere that you can make a telescope using the lens found in a photocopy machine (with pretty amazing results). Of course, my next thought was could I make a macro lens out of it?
The other picture shows the unassembled lens and what a beast it is! The whole thing must weigh at least 3 kg! The lens you see me holding in this picture is almost 1 kg and only one component of the whole thing.
After some trial and error, taking things apart and putting it back together, I managed to get a 'working' macro/telephoto lens. A very different set up to my usual DIY lenses and it's going to be an exciting challenge perfecting this one. The lens you see in the picture comprises of 4 lenses in total, 1 flat, 1 concave and 2 convex.
Putting the lens directly in front of my phone camera produces only ok results, nothing that blew my mind or was any different than the lenses I already have. It did provide with greater depth of field than the other lenses I have made, which is a bonus, but strapping this lens to my phone will be pretty useless and counterproductive as it weighs so much. I still had to be around 2-5 cm close to the subject to produce usable results.
However, when I held the lens 5-10 cm away from the phone camera something unexpected happened. In this picture, the lens was around 15-20cm away from the dragonfly and 10cm from my phone. I manually focused onto the lens and it produced the result you see in this picture.
My guess at this moment is Ill need to make some type of tubing/casing to hold the different lenses together after deconstructing it, as it seems to produce the best result when the lens is a certain distance from my phone. Of course with my phone, the sensor has a fixed aperture of f1.8 which makes everything that bit more complex. And then theres the issue of mounting the thing!
If you have any ideas please feel free to share :). Hopefully the end product will be a decent macro/telephoto lens which allows me to be 15-30cm away from the subject rather than 1-5cm (which is what im getting from the current lenses I have).

Oracabessa, Jamaica
Our small group of five were the only visitors at Firefly. We wondered if, perhaps, Noel Coward, is unknown to some of the younger tourists in Jamaica. The house is unchanged since the day Noel Coward died and clearly in desperate need of restoration...although the site is beautifully maintained. It saddens me to think how it will fare in the future.
More from the feeder ...this handsome bird made its first appearance i the yard this year, and keeps coming to the suet. as the chicks grow the visits get more frequents, which is why I think it is breeding in the adjacent park.

The easiest way to distinguish between Western and Eastern Meadowlarks is their song. So if you can read lips, you will undoubtedly recognize this diva as a Western (although the spots on its flank are also a good field mark). Along the roadside at Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.

Episode VII
Hi Folks,
</ it seems that I’m not HER only one and that irritates me a lot – SHE told me stories of polar bear ‘Nobby’ and said we’ll go to Yorkshire ONEDAY to see him. I haven’t even got a clue where to find this planet ‘Yorkshire’. Is it near the sun or closer to the moon ??? Then I checked all the calendars available but couldn’t find ONEDAY. Not even PLOP could tell me and believe me, he knows (nearly) everything and said that Yorkshire is in England and not in Wales, neither near the sun nor closer to the moon which means we will leave the country - but not the Kingdom! Just to make sure that I’m ready when SHE is ready I took my brand new suitcase and packed it with all I think is needed for a long journey. And here I am ready for take off (whenever that will be) not knowing whether I am now a ‘Tourist in Waiting’ or a ‘Waiter’. Two of the three honey jars are already emptied, but before the last one is gone I’ll ask her when ONEDAY will be - SHE might understand that my patience is not unlimited …. as SHE knows very well that LESS (waiting) IS MORE (fun)!
Bear Hugs all around

I read an article today that said that people experience their highest stress levels of the year during the Christmas season.
This starts with the Christmas decorations, goes through the procurement of gifts, various Christmas parties at the company, school or kindergarten through to the planning and organization of the Christmas dinner. Then there are the family obligations during the holidays (who is with whom and when?). Finally, in the post-Christmas period, it culminates in redeeming vouchers, exchanging gifts and clearing up the domestic chaos that the holidays have left behind (both organizationally and emotionally).
When I read this coherently, only one question comes to mind: "Why are we doing this to ourselves?"
Especially in view of the Christian history (very simple circumstances and only three visitors) and what Christmas actually stands for, much of the above is hardly comprehensible to me.
This effort is the complete opposite of what would actually be appropriate at this time of year and takes away so much of the meaning of the Christmas season.
And so I wish you that this week you have the opportunity to clear your head of all these “I have to, because that is what is expected of me” and to replace them with as many “I want to, because that makes me happy” as possible replace.
Ich habe heute einen Artikel gelesen, der besagt, dass die Menschen in der Weihnachtszeit das höchste Stresslevel im Jahr empfinden.
Das beginnt schon bei der Weihnachtsdekoration, geht über die Beschaffung von Geschenken, diverse Weihnachtsfeiern von der Firma, der Schule oder dem Kindergarten bis hin zur Planung und Organisation des Weihnachtsessens. Hinzu kommen dann noch die familiären Verpflichtungen während der Feiertage (wer ist wann bei wem?). Schlußendlich gipfelt es dann in der Nach-Weihnachtszeit in dem Einlösen von Gutscheinen, dem Umtauschen von Geschenken und dem Beseitigen des häuslichen Chaos, welches die Feiertage hinterlassen haben (sowohl organsatorisch als auch emotional).
Wenn ich das so zusammenhängend lese, dann kommt mir nur eine Frage in den Sinn: "Warum tun wir uns das an?"
Vor allem im Hinblick auf die christliche Geschichte (sehr einfache Verhältnisse und nur drei Besucher) und dem, wofür Weihnachten eigentlich steht, ist für mich vieles von dem oben genannten kaum nachvollziehbar.
Dieser Aufwand ist das komplette Gegenteil von dem, was in dieser Zeit des Jashres eigentlich angebracht wäre und nimmt der Weihnachtszeit so viel von Ihrer eigentlichen Bedeutung.
Und so wünsche ich Euch, dass Ihr diese Woche die Gelegenheit habt den Kopf frei zu bekommen von all diesen "Ich muss, denn das wird von mir erwartet" und diese durch so viele "ich möchte, denn das macht mich glücklich" wie möglich zu erstetzen.
