SPRING,
So in Hamburg - today. Wow what was that for a day. During my stroll through the city, I would type, one third had a pair of sunglasses on and the corners of the mouth showed up. Toll.
Thus the photo. So I ran back through the city, looking for my photo. I came to meet this well-dressed lady and I thought that it must happen. You have to understand that I have quite often seen a person with whom I thought would be a great photo, but this was not a photo. I have myself and my project so kindly presented, but I noticed pretty quickly that the woman had serious doubts. I was really "put into the stuff" to give the lady the Trust to be photographed by me. As you can see I have succeeded, and I hope you like the photo. I think it's really good.
Here's something technical. I have photographed in recent days with the long focal length (135mm) and I must say that my portraits with this focal length particularly liked. One drawback is that I always leave 3-4 meters from the person needs, so I get a little more with the picture.
How do you like this focal length?
As I drifted under and then behind her perch on Horsepen Bayou, Ms American Bald Eagle repositioned herself to better keep an eye on me.
This was taken outside St. Cyriac's Church, Lacock. I was patiently waiting for the crowds to disperse whereas this tour guide was impatiently waiting for his tourist group to catch up

I've choosen my word for 2013 : 'trust'
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life." Psalm 143:8

Managed to fit in a visit to Kingston Lacy before the rain arrived.
22nd April 2024.
On this day........
1838 - The British Packet Steamer 'Sirius' made the first transatlantic crossing by steam power, reaching New York from Cork in 18days and 10 hours.
1870 - Vladimir Lenin, prime minister of Soviet Union was born.
1969 - Robin Knox-Johnston won the race for non-stop single handed circumnavigation of the globe.
1994 - Former U.S. president Richard M. Nixon died.
One of the greatest things a D.O.M can do for his s.u.b is to silence her mind. To allow her to let go of the world, to close her eyes trusting in his protection and simply "be".

Sometimes in life we have to take a little time out just to make sure that we are on the path we truly want to be on. It’s so easy to wander off in all sorts of directions, becoming distracted by all sorts of things and right now that is exactly what I’m doing I’m taking a little time out to make sure I’m on the path I want to be on. I’m going within where everything is so clear and simple so that I can continue on the path that feels right to me. I can never be afraid of my own truth, my truth is all that I have and only I know what feels right in my heart and all I know is that I have to follow it no matter what. I am making lots of changes at the moment and it feels incredible. I feel I am back on track. Love, Peace and Freedom to all of you!!!!
The Grade II* Listed Ellis Windmill on Mill Road in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
At one time nine windmills stood along the west face of Mill Road over the steep slopes of the Lincoln Edge, these days only Ellis Windmill which was built in 1798 remains. There are documentary references to mills along the road from the early 16th century.
Tower mill of 3 floors with 4 sails, ogee domed wooden cap and fantail. Construction of brick painted black. Door on ground level. Horizontally sliding square windows with stone sills and segmental arches.
The first recorded owner of Ellis’ Mill was a wealthy landowner named Anthony Meres. It went through a succession of owners until December 1894 when John Ellis bought the mill for £250. He died in 1920, but his wife and son successively retained ownership until 1973. The mill was still in working order in 1940, but lost its sails in 1941, when Frank Ellis was the miller.
The Mill remained fully operational until it fell into receivership in 1973 and in 1974 a fire destroyed all of the remaining woodwork. In 1977 the Lincoln Civic Trust acquired the mill and began its reconstruction, led by Chris Salisbury, millwright.
A cap mechanism was acquired from ‘Subscription Mill’ in Sturton-by-Stow and the stones and drives from ‘Eno’s Mill’ at Toynton-all-Saints and the sails and fantail were made by Thompson and Co from Alford. The reconstruction was completed in 1980 and milling began again in 1981. Lincolnshire County Council took it over in 1995.
The brick foundations of an ancillary building in the north-east part of the site were recorded in 2006, along with a short length of brick wall and a stone wall or foundation immediately north of the mill. Ellis Mill remains a working mill producing flour and is open to the public on Saturday afternoons.

A special moment. One of the Robins that frequent our garden has finally built up enough trust to eat out of our hands. Here he is landing on my wife's hand to take a currant yesterday.
Had a great time at the National Trust's Clumber Park Wartime Weekend. Re-enactors, vintage vehicles, memorabilia, stalls, wartime songs and so much more.

My cat, with a sense of suspicion in his eyes - hardly surprising as he knows damn well that the bed is a no-go area.
From time to time we all wonder who we can trust and who we can't and this guy is caught in the middle of such a dilemma. As you can see though he's erring on the side of trusting no one and that's hardly surprising considering that he just caught his girlfriend in bed with another man and woman in what most would call a ménage à trois or, more specifically, a '369'.
To say he was a little upset is quite an understatement as he and his now ex were meant to be seeing his parents for the first time a few days later for brunch. After finding his now ex in such a compromising position he decided to scream some obscenities at all of them (which i can't repeat here) and get the hell out of Dodge. This is where we came in as he turned up on the door of our studio with a bottle of vodka and a ton of beers in hand. Although it was only 10 in the morning at this point we decided the only course of action was to help him drown his sorrows. Half way through this monumental piss up we asked if we could paint him and to our surprise he said yes. Now i know he doesn't look that sad in the picture but by this time we'd already been back to the shop twice to pick up more booze and had pretty much forgotten why we were all there drinking anyway.
Cheers

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Celebrate Impermanence - Day 4
Change can come about in many ways. Sometimes we seek it out and other times it comes upon us unawares. There are many crossroads throughout life and choices to be made. We ask ourselves: "Shall I turn right or left or shall I just keep walking straight on."
Whatever change we make, or which comes upon us without warning, putting our trust in the long term outcome gives us a new found strength and confidence to carry on, come what may.
