The winter solstice was a very cold day, but still and lovely for a walk in the snow. This path leads us right up to our house.

Walking through a small area of scrub and secondary woodland, I came across this remnant of autumn foliage. I arranged the branches to form a diagonal across the frame and shot wide open for shallow depth of field. I considered focus stacking to bring the leaves fully into focus, but the branches were moving in the breeze, so this probably wouldn't have worked. Simply stopping down didn't provide enough depth of field and I didn't like the effect on the background. Macro photography, I'm discovering, isn't easy.

This image was my 'plan B' for the Blue challenge a week or so ago. It's part of a Murano glass perfume bottle stopper. Come to think of it, I probably could have used this for Saturday's 'Small Part Sharp' challenge too. Anyway, it hasn't gone to waste. :)

black and white image or colour?
flora is not my strongest points when it comes to photography....however, I could not resist going to the Agassiz tulip festival to find out what all the fuss was about...I was not disappointed!!
It was a tough winter but spring is finally here. Only one of my miniature tulips survived the winter though
Not really! More Father (right) and Son (left). Holding still for a very short moment.

Dear Tamino,
Who would have thought it? In the beginning, it was only my wife who wanted you and then you quickly became, alongside her, my most important friend and most loyal companion.
Together we walked thousands, no - even tens of thousands of kilometres across meadows, through forests and up mountains. You always listened to me, whether I was laughing, crying or just talking. And I always talked to you a lot. Even if you never answered, it was always as if you understood me.
You always followed me, even when the path became increasingly difficult for you. I'm thinking in particular of the densely overgrown forest floors, where the wild brambles caused you a few problems. But that never stopped you from standing exactly where I stood.
You had many rough edges, just like all of us, but that's what made you such a special dog that will never be seen again.
I could write so much more now, because we experienced so damn much, but I just cry too much when I call up my memories.
The last few days and weeks have been very intense and we have spent much more time together than perhaps in the time before and I am so glad to have done so.
Two weeks ago, on Saturday 19 April, all three of us (Dexter, you and I) were still out in the forest and everything was as usual. You were slower and had your problems, but who would have thought that 6 days later you would no longer be with us. Although you still are and always will be.
I thank you for every moment we spent together over the past 12 years. I was always afraid of this moment and now I know why. A part of me is now empty and my heart is a little bit broken. They say you are so-called ‘life stage companions’, but you are so much more.
You've just gone ahead now, I'm sure we'll meet again.
Your ‘master’ Stefan
