A couple of weeks ago I posted another picture of Flynn, peeking out of the crop. It's more of a close-up, so you can't tell but it was taken in this same field. Since then, we've had wonderful warm, sunny weather & the rapeseed has been springing upwards so fast, you can almost watch it growing! Haha, the crop is now so tall & dense in many places, that not even sneaky, creepy Flynn can easily slip between the plants, so he's taken to skulking along the edges instead. At this particular corner of the field though, the crop is less dense & Flynn knows it & he still likes to vanish on me!
I only managed to get this photo because Flynn was hanging around for a few seconds, watching - to confirm which way I was going next. The footpath diverges at this corner & I like to keep Flynn on his toes by taking different routes, so he makes sure to stand where he can easily see me! As soon as Flynn can guess whether I'm going to turn left or right, he slips away into the plants & any opportunity for (dog!) photos is gone! Sure enough, after I took this, I only took a few more steps, before Flynn decided he knew my intentions & promptly turned tail & disappeared! Once he's out of sight, my main clues for Flynn's whereabouts comes from the occasional shaking of the flowers & every now & again, an alarmed pheasant shoots up into the air, letting out a surprised squawk as they go - presumably after they nearly got trodden on, by a certain collie dog!
The colours in this image are from a piece of patterned card placed behind the container of water (a black frying pan!), with an off camera flash directed at the card.
I had seen a few shots this week I would have really liked to have taken, but I would have needed hip waders to take them, I had brought my wellies with me but the water was a little to deep for them.
So next choice was to go for a hike with the pup tonight and try and beat the rain and snow that's suppose to be coming in as you can see by the clouds in the background.
This what we came home with.
HFF everyone and if you want to take the time to hit "L" I think it;s worth it
“Listen, Bob. A gun is just a tool. No better and no worse than any other tool, a shovel- or an axe or a saddle or a stove or anything. Think of it always that way. A gun is as good- and as bad- as the man who carries it. Remember that.” Jack Schaefer
So i decided to start the 52 week project!
I hope i have enough imagination so i can successfully complete it :)
Wish me luck pls :D
Please support me:
When I was young someone told me that moles are where the badness from inside us breaks through. It was meant as a joke but I somehow took it for granted. And looking in the mirror seeing the crazy amount of moles covering my body I started to wonder how big that badness inside me must be.
Later every now and then someone asked me why i wouldn't get some of the birthmarks removed which ended up in me starting to think my skin was ugly.
It took me for ever to make peace with these 'flaws' and even longer to start to like them.
Only now I manage to see how they are the stars of my body that make me who i am.

This is only the tiniest example of how flaws are often what make us unique. 🌟
Taken for week 15 themed #imperfection for my project #laurazalenga17weeks
I have taken this photo for the Week #3 Silhouette theme.
The lampposts along the road next to the Water of Leith are very ornate.
I tried a more ambitious photo this morning. It was so cold that my hands went numb, and then the photos I took were disappointing. So this is second choice subject.
Ferrari has only ever used the GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) badge on three cars, one of which is this 599 GTO. The term used to refer to cars that were homologated for racing, but the 599 GTO will never actually race. Regardless, these three Ferraris wearing the GTO badge are some of the most respectable and 'grandeur' cars ever produced.
A bit late and sorry to Colin K, its not red. Been poorly all week and only got this when picking up my Meds,
Panning is hard! We've tried several things during the week and then this afternoon, on our way back from shopping, we stopped at this fountain where kids were playing and running around. I must say that kids run a bit too slow to get a nice panning effect with shorter shutter times, and so the limbs of mine are happily panning along ;) Still, it's a cool shot, and at least my model will want to work with me another time again.
My little phodographer on tour :)
Unfortunately I won't be able to take any "real" Barney-Pictures over the next seven weeks, because I'm returning to England and can't take him with me.
I will, however, continue with the Barney-Skype-Pics :)
Week 16: Eggsactly
I really feel like my muse has deserted me. I made this image just to keep up with my one 52 week project but I simply do not feel like taking photos, editing, or creating. I am going to Montreal with my family on Monday for a concert and I am really hoping that helps break me out of this funk.
What would you do if you had to cope with exams, with tons and tons of information when your head is somewhere else?
You're sitting in that white and dull room, the only entretainment is the window, you would spend hours looking at that frame that links you to reality by looking to those ugly buildings and the people living their lifes.
More pages? What the hell? I keep using post-its, taking white sheets and making childish doodles in the frames of the papers while I chew a strawberry gum. The hours keep passing, and yet, everything goes so slow. More information, understand, process, saved. Understand, process, saved...as if I was a robot.
Too much knowledge for a teen mind and not enough freedom for this agitated soul!
This week we have been in our house in south France. We have been visiting a lot of places. The day we saw the most beautiful nature, were the day we went to the Pyrenees, we had to go to a zoo, but they have written wrong GPS Coordinates, and we ended at this beautiful place. So it wasn´t so bad anyway.
Construction, Week 66
This week at the Hernando Kroger Marketplace is essentially no different than last week, on the surface: a quick look around (or an overview of the site, such as this one) shows there's still just a lot of dirt everywhere. But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that a lot has been done to that dirt!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Jim loves to jump. And he has little fear.
Recently he jumped from a living room chair. The same one we told him not to play on seconds before. Luckily he didn’t break his arm, but the orthopedist still thought a cast would be best.
I was thinking this experience might help Jim to look before he leaps. Heh. He hasn’t slowed a bit.
Shot specifics:
Canon 5D Mark II : 70-200mm @ 81mm : f5.6 : 1/160 sec : ISO 100

Brian and I once again went on a shoot together and froze to death.
I came home and was really disappointed with my pictures.
I kept editing and kept trying new things until I came up with this.
Flickr over-sharpens everything and it's really frustrating.
Anyway.

Grimm had surgery this past week to remove a couple of mammary lumps and a spay. Her vet has already contacted us to let us know that the masses were benign. Everything appears to be healing well, but we're still trying to "keep calm" for another week, or so to give everything a chance to heal cleanly.
Goal for next week: to not take a last minute photo! Been procrastinating and leaving my photos for the last day lately resulting in me being rushed on a busy sunday, trying to get a quick photo so I don't miss a week. Will have to try to change that for next week and put my all into my photos again. Hope you all had a wonderful mother's day.
