Spring is sprung here, well so it seems anyway. Usually a good sign when the willow at the end of my garden decides to open it's flowers, so I'm hoping we have left winter behind :)
Also gave me another excuse to play with the new ringflash, LOL.
One thing I had not tried, was in conjunction with other flashes, or with radio triggers. I'm pleased to say it works perfectly, though there is just one small failing. It doesnt for some reason seem to be strong enough to trigger another flash set on slave mode.
Wether this is down to the lack of light, or that the flash duration on it is much longer, so it is not recognised as a flash, I'm not sure. Just a minor inconvenience and no big deal.
With this shot, I resisted the temptation to do any editing, apart from a slight crop and re-sizing. It could probably do with a few tweaks to the levels/contrast, but I wanted to keep this straight from the camera for a change :)
Setup as normal can be seen below :-
A storm blew through leaving a trail of devastation across the state of Iowa. We were fortunate with only rain and high winds. My Irises took a beating, lost some, trampled down a few that I cut and brought inside, closed up a few but opened a few more! I find beauty in all the stages that a flower takes from bud, to flower, back to bud, to dying. Behold life and death in a cycle thru Mother Nature💜

I will soon be moving from Maryland, back to my home state of Pennsylvania. How can I resist posting a few last shots of the wild horses who live on Assateague Island?
Janice and I were admiring the colors in the tail of this horse as it grazed.

Hello Joey…..So this is where you come to be on your own ….To weigh things up….And wonder about the wind of change that runs through your life……But really..…That how life is……Never will it stands still…….Why, Just Look around you ……What do you see…..That’s right ….Spring has arrived…..Which gives us a sure sign of how beautiful life can be……Yet in truth …I never needed spring to tell me that….All I needed was to look at you…
It’s Iris Time: My backyard garden has now added these gorgeous, velvety, frilly purple Irises. They are opening a few at a time. I’ll be adding more to this album as they continue to open and flourish until the whole Iris patch has opened❣️Photo images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP&Designs)
Apesar que a música fala em folhas no outono, isto não importa se estamos na primavera, esta sem dúvida é uma das músicas mais lindas do planeta. Esta versão é cantada por Eric Clapton.
Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais.
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit.
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
This is my favorite part of the year...going outside & taking pictures of all our trees that are just budding out.

Detail from: Springtime
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated (lower Left): P+A+COT+1873
Cot, who received his academic training at the hands of Bouguereau, Cabanel, and Léon Cogniet, first exhibited at the Salon of 1863. For the next two decades he enjoyed success as a painter of allegorical and historical pictures and as a fashionable portraitist. This painting remains Cot’s most celebrated work. It was exhibited to great acclaim at the Salon of 1873, which also featured Bouguereau’s Nymphs and Satyr (L2012.29). John Wolfe bought both paintings after the close of the Salon and hung them side-by-side in his stately Manhattan residence.
A visitor to the Wolfe home described the flirtatious duo in Springtime as “in the most dangerous and inflammable of the teens…The cunning eagerness with which the maid looks right into the boy’s eyes is modern in meaning and antique in dress; hence the acceptability of this Arcadian idyll, peppered with French spice.”

My backyard was full of surprise this past April! Even with all the strange weather we had these hardy daffodils just kept blooming! I love springtime flowers.

I think Plymouth looks better in HDR perhaps.
Plymouth was badly bombed in the war and a most of the buildings in the centre are modern and ugly. When I first moved to Devon in 1978 I thought it was ugly but now the many trees that were planted in the centre are looking lovely. I tend to visit fairly early in the morning and it is quite peaceful and looking quite continental now.
