Many dismiss micro four thirds believing that it’s not possible to get shallow depth of field. You can, you just have to work differently; either get closer and/or use longer focal lengths.
This shot of our dog Sherry, lying in a bit of shade the other day in our garden, demonstrates what you can get.

It's been raining here this morning, so it's nice to remember a recent sunny day. This is probably the last image I'll post of the beautiful lilies in my friend Lillian's garden. They were a joy to photograph.
I often see this neglected building in a side street in Sheringham, Norfolk. I love the textures and the colours of the various layers of peeling paint, and the bullseye glass pane.

My favorite flowering tree is the Crab Apple. I love how the dark pink buds gradually turn white as they swell open.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

A beautiful sunny day's walk along our local harbour walkway... iron posts gleaming in the bright light.

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
This was taken at Sussex Prairie Garden not long before it closed for the season. It feels like a long time until the garden opens again at the beginning of June next year, but I'm already looking forward to spending more time there. It's one of my happy places. :)
This is at the field where I typically take Bella. She was grazing frantically in this grass when I captured this shot.
Does anyone know why dogs graze on grass like that?

I gave up on my 31 days of Lensbaby challenge as my dear friend passed away on 22nd December. I no longer had the inspiration or inclination to carry on with ithe challenge. This is a tribute to her.
She was a shining star who brightened the lives of everyone who knew her, with her wit and wicked sense of humour. She was my friend, my crafting buddy and my neighbour and I miss her very much.
Losing someone close to you puts things into perspective somewhat. So I am not going to apologise for not commenting because I am busy spending time with my family. I will stop by when I can but in the meantime I will possibly hit that star so you know I am still thinking about you and appreciate your images and your friendship. Please don't feel the need to comment on my images...life and family are the most important and precious things!
I wish you all a very happy 2025 but above all I wish you health and time with your loved ones!

My Cafe au Lait dahlias are hanging on...just. I have about 10 blooms in various stages. For this image I held an Omni quilted filter in front of the lens.

We moved to the beautiful state of Colorado from Minnesota when I was a young girl about 9 or 10 years old and I have lived here ever since. And I don't see us moving to anywhere else.
This was taken in my sister in laws beautiful green house!

I wonder, if I was a bug, is that how I would see the world?
Would I be able to make sense of the visual chaos?

My husband took a seat into the garden for me yesterday so I could get a few photos of my Night Silence dahlia. It was so good to be able to use my camera.
Then a play in Photoshop to get this frame within a frame.
I haven't been on Flickr much lately as my back has been very bad again. I managed to get a face to face appointment with the GP on Friday and after over two years we finally have a plan going forward. Stronger pain killers and more tests and hopefully a way to prevent more fractures. I am finally feeling more hopeful.
I apologise for lack of interaction but appreciate your understanding and will try to catch up with your photos.
