Caught him smelling the air and staring at random spots on the balcony. The sunny morning did the rest!
Taken with Pentax K20D digital camera and smc Pentax-DA L 50–200mm F4–5.6 telephoto lens, part of the lightweight kit lens duo (hence the L). Not bad for a mere kit lens!

Macro Monday - Vintage
I've used this before. It's a gold (possibly gold plated) Albert chain and fob that belonged to my husband's grandfather.
I set up my tripod and used my big girl camera (rather than my iPhone) while sitting down. It felt good to be using the camera again but I'm sure I will do much more with my phone for the rest of the 365. Only forty days to go!

#95 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
Apparently a hydrangea represents Gratitude, Grace and Beauty. These beauties are from my son's garden. He very kindly let me bring them home. We've been away cat sitting for our son and daughter-in-law's two kitties. We had a lovely week but unfortunately came home to a leak in our airing cupboard. This means lots of work. The good thing is I'm back in my comfort zone...and with my props.

Another first for this year - and a happy surprise! I didn't have my macro lens with me, but I think the 35mm coped pretty well.

Another play with my Omni filters, this one is a bit more subtle with the high key. Still need lots of practise with them as it's all a bit hit and miss how it comes out and I really haven't a clue what I'm doing but it's making me pick up my camera.
Two hearts become 1. Refined/hone over a period of time.
All comments are highly appreciated. It will help me a lot to improve my photography skills. Big thanks to all of you for the comments, faves and views.
Happy clicking to all!!!

I had a bit of a panic this morning because I knew I would be spending 7 hours in a car today and wouldn't be able to pick up my camera until I got home and it was dark. So, I rushed out into the garden - breakfast going cold on the table and huge dark clouds threatening rain at any moment - and took a few quick shots. And, ta-da, this is the result. I've done something similar before, but it was 4 years ago so I hope I'll be forgiven. Normal service will be resumed tomorrow. :)
Crazy Tuesday - theme of March 12, 2019 - Blue is the colour
I was grocery shopping yesterday evening when I saw this blue creature (called "Blue Moon" on the tag)
Although I don't have a sweet tooth (besides beeing "crazy" for dark chocolate - see my last image for Crazy Tuesday) I couldn't resist to buy this blue treat so I could take a quick pic for Crazy Tuesday
(I initially planned to skip this week - like MM - due to heavy workload - but here you are: just for fun ;)
This is a very close up of this iced donut: the sprinkles are 1 mm in diameter
Happy Crazy Tuesday, everyone!

für die Gruppe "Verrückter Dienstag" - Thema: Blau ist die Farbe
Ich habe derzeit leider nicht so viel Zeit für Flickr... hätte fast eine Runde ausgesetzt...
Dann war ich Lebensmittel einkaufen und sah diesen blauen Donut (vom Verkäufer liebevoll "Blue Moon" getauft). Ich stehe so gar nicht auf Süßes (mit Ausnahme von dunkler Schokolade) oder Kuchen / Gebäck, aber für das Dienstagsthema habe ich dann doch eine Ausnahme gemacht ... und freiwillige Abnehmer finden sich auch ;)
Sehr starke Nahaufnahme - die Streusel haben einen Durchmesser von nur 1 mm
I bought two roses yesterday. I mistreated the first one by dunking it in wine and forcing it to be a photo subject for a fair time. That rose is alive and well.
This second rose got no mistreatment. Properly cut and cared for -- but today it was dropping, miserably. Fine, droop, I thought, but I am still getting a picture out of you.
But it needed a backdrop...so I stuck it into a potted astilbe that's waiting for transplant. Worked perfectly.
A little shallow depth of field, a bit of fancy spot metering, and I had me a shot. Actually, several shots, but I'm saving a few for my flower noir series.
The sun was playing cat and mouse with me -- it was like catching a fly. I'd sit back down to eat my supper, and the sun would sneak out. I'd grabbed the camera and settle in for the shot...and the sun would slip away. I swear it was laughing.
Blessings,
Sheree

A lovely morning of diffused light and previous rainfall made for some nice spider webs. Out came the macro lens :-)

I took this image in February 2020 during one of my last trips to the city park before it got closed due to COVID-pandemic ... it was a fine, sunny winter day and I enjoyed strolling around and taking photos - very fond memories of a carefree time !
Take care !!

Ich nahm dieses Bild im Februar 2020 bei einem meiner letzten Besuche im Stadtpark auf, bevor dieser wegen der COVID-Pandemie geschlossen wurde ... es war ein schöner, sonniger Wintertag und ich genoss es, herumzuschlendern und Fotos zu machen - sehr schöne Erinnerungen an eine unbeschwerte Zeit !
Passt auf euch auf !!
Alice-san is the reason I bought an Instax Square camera too! Photographed on an exploration session with Kageyama-san, Lonny, Mamoru-san, and Yoshikatsu-san. Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. November 4, 2019.

When I encountered this fence I I thought it makes an interesting subject to practice with my wide angel lens the use of a shallow depth of field in combination with different PoVs and compositions. In this image I wanted to emphasize the mystery of this fence. For me it had no real function, it started and ended somewhere without enclosing something. So I decided to make it in LR quite dark with a high contrast. It gives also an analog film feeling to me.

Hi There!
These tiny flowers called Scilla caught my eye on a morning's walk. The blossoms dotted someone's entire yard which was quite pretty to see! Some of the blooms were close enough to the sidewalk for me to photograph them.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you. Have a wonderful day!
