It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.
I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!
I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

" Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs
Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin... "

The thin clear line on the horizon made for a wonderful little spell of colourful sunset scenes as the sun briefly slid below the cloud.

A Great Blue Heron, blending ungainliness and grace, breaks the ice on touchdown and at once imagines flight. We, wingless, wouldn’t conceive of this solution.
I was determined to wring something painterly from my Helios 44-2 58 amd mounted it on my Nikon D850 using a Nikon PK 11A teleconverter with the thin type m42 adapter. I used a wide open aperture for this shot but did stop down as far as f/5.6 for some shots. I honestly thought I had some wonderful painterly bokeh when checking the LCD.. sadly I didn't notice that the tiny flowerhead of the Stitchwort in all my shots had a sort of glow around them..I have noticed the same thing from other lenses but hadn't used the Helios in years and never on the Nikon. The only way to stop this looking a bit err, a lot spectral imho, was to use the paintbrush in photoshop and carefully paint away the offending glow from just around the white petals and burn the detail back into the petals. The annoying thing was the histogram looked perfect with no blown highlights. The spectral glow simply a feature of that lens...
I started to catch up with everyone yesterday btw but as I cook dinner as my family come on a Wednesday as well as fetching Leo from school and collecting his guitar from his home on the way etc etc, I am still behind as time was short so my apologies....Sue :)

Here's the immane East Face of Monte Rosa, embraced by a thin blanket of clouds.
East Face is the highest alpine peak by prominence, and the only himalayan wall in the entire Alps.
This side consists of a 2,400-metre-high (7,900 ft) wall overlooking Macugnaga, whose snows feed the Belvedere Glacier at its base.

Lately I've been preoccupied with life issues which have pulled me away from my creative side. Always amazes me just how quickly and fully reality rushes in to fill the vacuum left when creative pursuits are sidelined. It sometimes requires a very determined pushback to regain the balance of power. Tilting the playing field of my life away from the creative aspect to me is akin to sliding onto the thin ice part of the proverbial pond. Photography for me is not just a hobby but part of a lifestyle. It's one that sees me out exploring my world and separating myself, however briefly, from both convention and conventional thought. It's how I make sense of everything else. It's a very delicate balance. For now I'm just trying to avoid plunging into the black water that lies just below that veneer of ice.
Tread lightly.
Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone. I'm not a fan of tourist hotspots, but I would definitely hit this place.
Terrific Thursday to you my friend.
