Self heal [Prunella vulgaris]
In our garden this little plant grows with gay abandon in our poor well drained almost structureless soil. An ideal habit indeed.
Handsome as self heal is, its tendency to creep and success in self seeding does not put a smile on a gardeners face. I however, have left self heal to do its thing unmolested in our rockery.
I used a vintage lens, namely the Takumar 55mm f2:2. Wide open

I don't usually like to take pictures of myself, but I was told every photographer has to take one.
This is my first attempt at it.

I was looking for new places for future portrait shootings, and I ended up liking this one, it's quiet but easily accessible, the grass and trees are nice and the ponds are a great addition. I casually shot with my 85mm, not wide open tho, but also enjoyed this nice little walk before dinner.

Self-anointing is a behaviour exhibited by all species of Hedgehog, but nobody really knows why they do it. I have never seen a wild Hedgehog self-anoint, but rearing this orphaned youngster has given me plenty of opportunities to witness it. They create a foamy saliva then undergo contortions to cover those hard-to-reach bits using their surprisingly long tongues. You can see the foamy saliva on that ridge near her tongue. My Hedgehog self-anoints when she tastes or smells something new, such as the first time she tasted cat-food, a worm, marjoram, and even after licking my son's feet. But sometimes she just does it for no apparent reason. The term self-anointing was coined by Maurice Burton, and was first used in a 1958 paper in New Scientist documenting the behaviour. But the behaviour was first recorded by German zoologist Ludwig Heck in 1912, when he called it selbstbespuchen, or ‘self-spitting’. Various theories have been put forward to exlain it (eg masking their smell, creating an extra irritant for would-be predators, deterring parasites) but for each idea there are examples that run counter to it. Anyway, there seem to be very few photographs on Flickr showing this behaviour, and it is something I wasn't previously aware of, so I thought I would share it. If you want to read more about the various theories attempting to explain the behaviour this is the best site: www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/european-hedgeho...
The water was 18 degrees and I enjoy wild swimming. But, I'd reached my limit and was starting to feel cold so I quickly grabbed the fabric and made about 8 images in the last minute I was swimming in the river.
I didn't have time to think about posing, but recently this image resonates.
(Many thanks to the group of ladies I went with and Chiara for pressing the remote control button because I didn't trust myself not to drop it in the river.)
This post is somewhat daring: a deadpan self-portrait. For those interested, there is an explanation below. But it may well be skipped.
Since I have made a few (underlining "few") deadpan portraits, I have been asked to keep a workshop in deadpan portrait photography. But it comes with certain limitations. The workshop shall be in a studio, photos shall be in monochrome, and they shall preferably be in square format. (My gravitation towards square is well known)
But:
1. I am no portrait photographer, others are.
2. I don't know much about studio photography, lightning, etc, others do.
3. I have always used muted colors, never monochrome when shooting deadpan portraits. Those I know (Alec Soth, Jitka Hanzlowa, Elene Brotherus, and more) also use color.
4. But I know something about deadpan photography.
So I agreed to contribute, not to "keep". But when looking more into this, I came across Lee Friedlander, known for his social landscapes, but also for his deadpan approach, including (self-)portraits.
I had to try myself, even though I dislike being in front of the camera, and not behind it. Deadpan involves a neutral and emotionally detached approach on behalf of the photographer, and the model shall express absolutely nothing, leaving interpretations to the viewer.
I find the model role the most difficult. I am biased toward signaling what I wish people would think of me (we are a social species), instead of being captured without playing our social roles. I guess we are built that way. But I had to try. And if I look at the self-portraits of Friedlander, I suppose it is all about courage.
i don't often photograph my face. i am quite shy and self conscious and don't like the way i look in pictures. *

A Green heron not to far from the nest. On a few occasions, I was fortunate to witness the change of guard at this nest site. Shortly after one parent would emerge from the nest and stretch a couple of times, the other would return. Telepathy?
Taken earlier this year. Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thank you so much for visiting!

Taken on my 28th birthday. It's the feeling of doubting on yourself so much sometimes that it's like pushing yourself under water. Hopefully when I do the self portrait next year, I feel more confident and I have a better vision of where I am going. A lot of work ahead Also on another note: It's so hard to be in front of the camera!!! I just felt like a crazy person in public beach going into the water wearing my favourite dress and pulling funny poses A huge thank you to Brian who was the one who helped me out and took this photo based on my instructions
It’s a few days shy of being two months since I broke my ankle. I had another follow-up appointment today and the doctor had good news. The bone is healed, I can ditch the crutches and put full weight on my ankle! I’m not out of the woods yet, but it feels good to walk around (as best I can). My ligaments still need some time and my right leg muscles have atrophied. Tomorrow I begin physical therapy and I’m ready to do what it takes to be back skiing as soon as possible!
*I forgot to do LensTagger on this image. Shot with the a7rIII and Noct-NIKKOR 58mm f/1.2 AI-s
