Playing with the sunlight coming in the back window. It does this every afternoon and makes it almost unbearable to sit at the table. But C choose to sit here for his watercolor project. Opportunity to play with camera.

Presque Isle State Park - Erie, PA

William Lever, was anxious to have a memorial to commemorate those of his workers who had been lost in the First World War. As early as 1916 he commissioned Goscombe John to design a war memorial, which was completed and unveiled in 1921 by two of his employees. It consists of a granite runic cross with bronze statues and reliefs and has the theme "Defence of the Realm". On the memorial are the names of all of the company's employees who died as a result of both World Wars. It is a Grade I listed building. On the front of the plinth are two inscriptions. The one at the top reads:

As previous but taken at a wider angle on my zoom lens

This is another shot from last saturday afternoon when this Kingfisher landed fairly close. I was just able to squeeze the lens quietly through the branches to get this shot of the bird with sunlight just hitting its back ... almost luminous ... The background showing the long shadows across the water and up the stone wall the other side of the river.

This is my favorite Starling shot of the day...love that eye:)

monkey-scented? made by monkeys? for monkeys? -- they all seem like a bad idea to me...

 

sunlight-scented, on the other hand, might be nice, if someone could figure out how to translate light into scent...

 

Morning light shining through the transom window above the front door caught the narcissi in the hall.

Touch seems to be as essential as sunlight.

I didn't notice the bracelet until I opened the photo on my computer. I laughed so much when I saw it!!

 

Says "Hello Kitty" - see it large!!

 

This is my sister's hand petting a cat she saw relaxing on the side of the street in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.
