Not about busy
“Have you noticed that even the busiest people are never too busy to take time to tell you how busy they are?” ― Bob Talbert https://meanderingpassage.com//wp-content/uploads/images/2020/09/EBM-20170427121432.jpg After using the above quote, I won’t plead how busy I’ve been. However, we’ve purchased a home and moved into it since my last post. But the process seemed more…
Photo slideshow on a 16:9 HDTV
I’ve been working on a slideshow of my best photos from our recent Italy trip for after dinner enjoyment with the friends we travelled with. Normally I try and not bore people with vacation photos but when the audience is made up of those who experienced the same trip/locations it can be fun remembering and recalling stories around the photos. I’ve decided it would work best method to use my iPad and AppleTV to display these photos on our LCD TV using Airplay.
Spain – Day 10: Return home
Shortly after take-off we discovered our seats were among a large group, on our side of the aircraft, which were electronically disconnected from the aircraft — no lights, no audio, no call button…zero, nothing and there were no overhead controls. It was significant enough the aircrew radio ahead to Charlotte, NC, aircraft maintenance…
The morning routine
Almost every morning begins with our dog Maggie and I walking around the neighborhood. She loves these walks and will dance around while I get the harness and leash ready — to be honest I look forward to them as well. Last week there was a couple of beautiful
You certainly captured the emotional quality of spring here, a material for dreams.
Even more important as reality tends to be nightmarish more than enchanting…
Markus, thanks and I mostly agree about the current situation of reality. ;-)
I like the selective focus that gives emphasis to the red bud. A beautiful shot with very strong appeal.
Don, thank you. This was an experiment shooting wide open for a shallow DOF…an experiment which for once went well.
Thanks Earl for a reminder of what our spring will soon bring! Our dogwoods are still a few weeks away from blooming.
It’s coming, Steve…just a few weeks and you’re enjoy them in person and ours will be past.
“Wonderful” pretty much sums it up. There is an ethereal quality to this that melts my heart. What a marvelous job you did of capturing the essence of the blooms. Somehow, the soft edges give me a perfect excuse to lose myself in the dreaminess here. This is one of my favorites of all your outstanding images.
Anita, thank you and I’m glad you like this one so much. It turned out to be one of those cases of less is more I believe.
Anita said it all for me, Earl. Great shot.
Ken, thanks!
What a beautiful image – I love the tender and dreamlike quality of the photograph. The narrow depth of field brings out the delicate petals and soft tones even more… marvellous!
Martina, thank you. When making this image I envisioned imparting a feeling of being lost in the softness of the blooms.
Well, you’ve sold me on this image. It speaks loudly of Spring and makes me yearn for a bright warm day instead of this gray and cool day we have.
Monte, I’m sure it will be there shortly…thanks!
Hmmm, everytime I visit here I feel like I am seeing into the future. Sometimes I forget the geographic differences and think ‘whaaaaaa – how is that blooming now?” :-)
Mark, yeah, for sure it’s full of blooms on this end, including tree pollen covering everything with a coat of yellow dust sending my allergies absolutely off the scale. Yes, the not so beautiful side of spring for me. :-)
I have developed allergies over the past couple of years, and have noticed them acting up lately also – even though we don’t have as many blooms.
