Thanks for dropping in on Covered Bridge. Everyone of these that I have ever seen have a distinct local signature. I've never seen two that were alike, even in the same county.
Also, glad you liked the miniature daffodil. These are only about half the size of the full gown variety so my chin got a little dirty.
How's the star boarder doing?

Booker T Washington
I don't know what it is but it is colorful all year long. It blooms in late winter with blue-green leaves. After blooming, the leaves turn purple. In the fall they turn deep crimson. I can't call it deciduous because the leaves never fall off. or at least never all at once.
Thanks for the look-see.

If you read Hawthorne's book, you would easily see how Clifford Pyncheon could migrate through the house once you saw the tight hidden passageways. The history of the house is almost as interesting as Hawthorne's portrayal.

Thanks for you opinion on the rework, John. Perhaps I should have left off the text, but I just finished re-reading Walden, and these words just wouldn't leave my mind. I'll post the final edition and delete the original and the rework in a day or two.

Why not visit my Gallery.
The Fruit of the Lemon was shot at 1/4 sec & f/22, ISO 800, just so I could get enough DOF to cover the little lemon and the lead blossom. A smaller f/stop would sharpness resulted in some noticeable sharpness from the refractive effect of the lenses iris. I wasn't willing to accept any more noise bu going to ISO 1600.

Thanks, John. As you know, I walk to the beat of a different drummer. It is enough for me to know that it was appreciated. It does not need to be appreciated by a majority. I got the satisfaction of overcoming the obstacles of lighting and photographing a shiny object.

The "Begonia" Rex goes by the common names of Queen Alexandra Begonia, King Begonia, Painted Begonia, Beefsteak Geranium, and Painted Leaf Begonia. This one's flower were 6-8cm across. I've never seen one that large, before. It is about four times the sized of the bronze-leaf begonias in our flower beds. Thanks for you valuable comment, John.

Thanks, John. The Chester site site is amazing. All that is left is the rock work and a couple of iron grates. Almost 2 millenia have passed. What wasn't stone or metal or carried off was buried and turned to dust. England climate is not kind to artifacts.

Many thanks, John. The York Minster is the largest Gothic church in Europe. The front of the building is most impressive, however, there was scaffolding in place for restorative work. I had to be content with shooting the west towers.
Yorks narrow streets and the Minster's close proximity to several bus stops whittle down ones options on the west facade.

Thanks for dropping by "Summer's Here", John. I raised this from a seed. The blossoms get almost as big as a pie tin, as evidenced in the link. I almost called this "Day of the Trifids", but the generation gap may be too wide.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I'm pretty sure that you will love it. Peace of mind has a value, too. In general, if you find camera at list price, divide by three for the wholesale price. Lenses have a 200-300% markup.
There are some people out there that just get plain greedy. There are also some of the Russian Mafia out there stealing shipments off the docks. It's turned into a pretty sorry world the last two decades. We have raised a couple of amoral generations. Society must now pay the tax for abandoning traditionally tried and true values.

I learned to eat snake and many other less appetizing things in survival school. Once you get past the thought process, then protein is protein. These are much more palatable and attractive than calf's liver and onions that you can still find on a lot of menues.

Many thanks for visiting the "JFK Memorial - Dallas", John. Much appreciated. Like most Texans, I didn't always agree with his politics, but I admired the man.

Many thanks for visiting "My Favorite Blossom", John. I guess I should have made it plural. They both are kind of special. Now, if we can only get JJ to quit hiding her braces....
I was testing out my new 430ex strobe to find the best settings to fill in heavy shadows shooting under a cloudless Texas sky.
Synchro-sun is a throwback technique to the days of flash bulbs and guide numbers. The trick is to get a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 sun-to-shadow. It allows you to put the sun behind the subject so the subject is more at ease and get the depth of the subjects features. Strobes are a little easy to deploy than reflectors.

Many thanks for visiting "Hyacinth", John. These blossoms don't have much scent, but they already have numerous purple seed pods for additional color.
