Photo of the Day May 2015

Yep, just dripping water from a glass and hoping to catch one. Very unsuccessfully.

Err.... you are being modest... that is far from unsuccessful!

Fixed the link.. Sorry..

Nice photo. Lovely location. Shame the sky blew out. WOuld it be possible to recover some of the sky using Snapseed or something on your phone?

Italy has such beautiful vistas. I love the way the classic Italian architecture looks. Especially in Florence. I find it amazing how 21st century life has managed to blend into the city without spoiling it.

I really like the way you captured the green vegetation around the fall.

Thanks JM - just lucky with the light. Relatively new spring growth of bracken helped. Here's a view of the total drop.

Thanks Kenoh, much appreciated. As far as I know the SV identifies the position of a water main stop valve - liked the photo, a nice little urban gem!

Ah! makes sense.. should have thought of that. Thank you, just caught my eye when taking a wee time out last night. Kids were being high maintenance so stepped out for some shutter time and some milk.

I got some more flower photos too but they are a bit sterile looking, I am experiencing inspiration deadlock on what look to go for with them.

Think we are going to try for Troon or Ayr this afternoon for a picnic with the girls so hopefully some shots later today.

Really liking the falls shots though, they are very nice and it is nice to see lush greenery. Summer is on the way!

Green = wet/damp !

Some of the sand dunes down by Troon could be interesting, especially B&W depending on the sky. There's always Ailsa Craig ! Have a good afternoon and let the kids consume their energies on the beach!

It is Memorial Day here in the US. Yesterday, I went with a few hundred other folk to place flags on the graves of the fallen. I managed to take a few good shots along the way.

Nice but i really liked the pink and blue effect of your previous one.

Thanks, me too. The lens I used for the B&W one has a hot spot that I hadn't noticed before. Kind of forced a B&W conversion on me.

Another IR shot from the Swan Point Cemetery--a wooded trail near the water and away from the graves.

One from my walk this morning. Loverly dappled sunlight in the woods.

We were going to go to the beach today at Troon but the weather looked too dodgy so we went to the Botanical Gardens in Glasgow instead. On the way home we popped into my wife's old uni - Glasgow and took some pictures of the cloisters.
