This is my own design. I squeezed it out of just one yard that had been sitting in my stash for way too long.

For the Looking Close on Friday group: "bokeh in pink"
and Happy Floral Friday too 😊
Last Spring I was shooting the pink plum blossom on our Japanese plum tree. The Helios lens gives a beautiful swirl of pink bokeh.

Wonderful light on that day - I came back here the day after, but the light just wasn´t comparable.

Come to the orchard in Spring.
There is light and wine, and sweethearts
in the pomegranate flowers.
If you do not come, these do not matter.

You may catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of your eye... sitting on a bough... drinking a drop of dew from a petal... dancing in a sunbeam.
Okay, I confess, I'm in love with my dryad. She's probably my favourite persona -- I feel like she's a part of me no matter what skin I'm wearing.
So when I find a new outfit that suits her, it puts me a bit over the Moon. I found a wonderful little skirt and top from .Viki. at Fantasy Faire 2021. Zelina is a beautiful skirt and top that just seem made for a fae. It's available in five different colours, or a HUD-driven fatpack. It's perfect!
I also have these awsome little bits of wing armour from the amazing Idrial at -FAS-. I showed off the Fairy Wings last week: these bits of thorny armour fit the wings and move with them. They have their own colour HUD to match your look!
I hope you've had a wonderful Faire! There are still a few days left: I will spend every moment I can in the Fairegrounds.
Mahalo nui! A hui hou kākou!

Look what was in our tree on Sunday. At one time there were about 12 birds.....they love the ornamental crab berries in the winter....this gives me hope that SPRING really MIGHT come this year!
A front yard. We like to visit Yellow Springs from time...it is an interesting city. Taken by Edgar.
Paid a visit to Black Partridge Forest Preserve after work tonight. It is surprising sometimes how the flowers can be at different stages in different preserves only a few miles apart. The bluebells here were in full bloom.

Flickr ist zur Zeit eine Katastrophe und ich weiß, dass es schwer ist die Bilder seiner Kontakte zu finden. Deswegen danke ich allen ganz herzlich, die trotzdem auf meiner Seite vorbeischauen.
Flickr is a disaster at the moment and I know it is hard to find your contacts' photos. So I thank you all very much for dropping by anyway!
We can tell the weather is getting warmer the bugs are starting to appear. 50mm prime lens and a Raynox DCR-250 not a bad combination for fairly close macro photography.
Poems
Evening Beauty
by TA Ramesh
Are we created to appreciate in wonder the beauty around us?
What a beautiful Sky it is in the evening at the Sun set!
Our eyes are created perhaps to wonder at the beauty of the setting Sun
Beautifully changing the colors of the Western Sky!
Our ears are created perhaps to hear the music of the birds
Flying across the evening Sky in rapturous mood to rest in the nest!
Our nose is created perhaps to enjoy the smell of Jasmine in the breeze
That comes from the South for this grand purpose though lasts for a while!
Our mouth is created perhaps to eat the best and talk of this beauty in the Roof Garden,
The best creation of man to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of Nature!
Our body is created perhaps to feel the thrill of the breeze in the pleasant evening
That animates the beauty of the atmosphere never to be missed at any time!
And our brain is created perhaps to remember and appreciate the Greatness of God
Responsible for the creation of this pleasant splendor in wonder!
The Earth itself is created perhaps to rotate from the West to the East
For man to enjoy this beautiful visual effect on the Sky Canvas!
Also, the wavy Sea is created perhaps to move in rhythmic motion
For man to think and write Visual Poetry in appreciation of this beauty so!
Shooting Star are some of the most colorful wildflowers. I spotted these fine specimens along the Buttermilk Bend Trail in the South Yuba River State Park. The Buttermilk Bend Trail is a wonderful place to see a wide variety of wildflowers blooming.

Crystal Pool is an oasis in the Amargosa valley part of Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Water, more than 10,000 gallon per minute flow from seven major springs is a key resource for this unique desert habitat in the dry north Mojave Desert. The waters come from a vast underground aquifer that is forced to the surface by a geologic fault acting as an underground dam. Twenty-six species here are Endemic and found only here. There are four native fish species on the refuge. These include the Ash Meadows Amargosa pupfish. A tiny 1 inch long fish, the blue-colored males and greenish females have adapted to live in the clear waters which can be as wam as 93° F. South Nevada, U.S.A.
