Well, of course it's no surprise that I was attracted to pink. This is another one from my visit to Sussex Prairie Garden yesterday. There's just so much to enjoy there at this time of year. In fact, I'm going back this afternoon. :)
Number 323 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, landscape image of some Silver Birch trees in the afternoon Autumn sunshine near Forgandenny in Perthshire, Scotland.
the early winter wind blew all the pretty bougainvillea flowers off the trees and settled them in a wind eddie on the street

Birding was a bust so I naturally turned to a dead weed. I wanted to hit this with f/2.8, but removing the TC at the beach and with no covers on hand was not going to happen. In the BG are rosa rugosa bushes and other pretty things in early fall plumage.

...and I will show you the weekend. Wishing everyone out there a few great days.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a fave or comment.
It may be officially the end of summer, but the roses at Borde Hill don't seem to have got the message. Lots more flowers still to come, I'm happy to see.
I know i have posted a nearly similar pic a few weeks ago. But this one is my favorite, because he´s looking straight into the camera. So forgive me the "double" :)

I love Asters and there are positive oceans of them at Sussex Prairie Garden at the moment. It's one of my favourite places to be at this time of year, even though the howling gales today made photography somewhat challenging. :)
In February we went on a road trip to Northern California. Traveling north on Hwy 101 we stopped many times to marvel at majestic redwood trees, which grow in abundance in that region. We stopped at the Williams Grove Day Use Area near Myers Flat. A redwood forest is quite dark, even on a sunny day, so a super fast lens comes in handy.
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Maybe not dancing shoes but shoes nonetheless, sitting there waiting for the new owner.

Madrid, Spain
A fascinating building where I took many images. This one, with a narrow depth of field, captured for me the unreal character of this building the best.

I had a lovely relaxing day at my friend Lillian's yesterday. While my friend Sue photographed birds, I spent my time pottering here and there, admiring the flowers and keeping the cats company. Perfect! Thanks, Lillian. :)

Two of our dogs (Tamino & Dexter) posing into the direction of the sun. That´s why her fur has so a orange color. And they a quite dirty, becaus they love to dig for some mice or mole (no they never get one...).
Wishing you all a great and relaxing weekend.
The german title means "The Duke and the Duchess", that´s how I call them sometimes. Yes, they are both male, but some kind of couple :) I lent me the title from an episode of our most loved tv show on earth: Frasier
