Spent a week last month in the Outer Banks (North Carolina / USA) and captured some beautiful sunrise shots. Have never understood the attraction to paddle-boarding....but I think I get it now.
I had a stroke April 26, 2022. My right side wouldn’t move. What's worse I had aphasia. I lost most of my language skills.
I came home from the rehab hospital June 1. I still couldn't walk nor talk properly. Home therapists worked with me then.
I almost can walk, through wobbly. I keep leaving my walker behind me. I write slowly. I can read. I can understand what others say to me. Others don't understand me quite as well.
As I recover, caregivers assist me. We walk together. They drive me to I need be. They use my camera take pictures of my recovery.
Best of all, I'm beginning to use my phone's camera again. It takes two hands. My right hand has enough control to push the button about half the time. It's good be on Flickr again.

Playing a round of golf
The stoke index is used to identify the most difficult holes on the courses and on which holes golfers will receive additional strokes.
Stableford is a scoring system used in the sport of golf. Rather than counting the total number of strokes taken, as in stroke play, it involves scoring points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole. Unlike traditional scoring methods, where the aim is to have the lowest score, under Stableford rules, the objective is to have the highest score.
The number of points awarded on each hole is determined based on comparison of the number of strokes taken to a fixed score, usually par. This fixed score is then adjusted in relation to the player's handicap. Once players have taken two strokes more than the adjusted fixed score, they may abandon the hole and move on to the next, as it is then not possible to score any points on that hole. Because of this, it is still possible to be competitive even allowing for a few bad holes. At the end of the round, the number of points scored on each hole is totaled to give a final score. The winner of a Stableford competition is the player with the highest point total. Final scores may be modified for all players using the Competition Stableford Adjustment system.

The Oakland Motor Car Company of Pontiac, Michigan, was an American automobile manufacturer founded in 1907 and purchased by General Motors in 1909...the company continued to produce modestly priced automobiles until 1931 when the brand was dropped in favor of the division's Pontiac make...
Saw this fully concentrated painter in Dyreparken, Denmark. The scent of pipe tobacco and the beautiful scenery gave quite a special atmosphere.

With a family day out to Lowther Castle planned and having just arrived, i duly checked what was running.

Gently Graded Genuinely Sensual Striped Strokes Of Palpable Pastel Pleasures - IMRAN™
The only things I am worse at than painting are singing and cooking. Since I do NOT cook, and do NOT sing, you only have to suffer seeing whatever random dabs of digital paint I have thrown at a blank screen. If you get a headache, take two aspirins, and put a Like/Comment in the morning.

Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone...It’s good to be back!
For New Year's Eve, I had dinner in Sausalito, before watching midnight fireworks over San Francisco. However, the object of this trip was to capture the last sunset of 2011.
My mind has been working overtime lately, thinking of possible new locations to shoot, and trying to visualize different ways to capture images from places I have already visited.
Having some clouds pass by above the crashing waves at Rodeo Beach, I waited until just before the sun had completely set. I wanted this capture to include a small amount of sunlight on the foreground rocks, to add dimension. The key to this image was a long enough exposure to highlight the final sunset's last brush strokes.
