    A bare right human foot is positioned horizontally across the upper section, resting on light-colored wooden decking planks. The toes are pointing toward the right edge of the frame.

A clear, slightly darker reflection of the same foot and wooden planks is mirrored below a central horizontal line.

A dark, horizontal border or frame separates the upper wooden deck from the lower reflective surface.

The lighting is soft and diffused, creating low contrast. The overall color palette is moody and muted, dominated by earthy wood tones, pale skin tones, and deep greys.

      Date palms. Coachella Valley, California

      loc.gov/pictures/item/20177696

      The image is a black and white photograph depicting an expansive grove of palm trees. The perspective shows the tops of numerous date palms rising into the sky, with their fronds creating intricate patterns against what appears to be bright sunlight filtering through the foliage above. In between these towering plants are paths or rows that seem used for walking or possibly agricultural purposes.

The ground is uneven and covered in patches where grass or small shrubs grow amidst more barren soil visible from frequent tilling or foot traffic, indicative of active cultivation rather than wild growth. The trees show varying stages of development; some have a fuller canopy with dense fronds while others appear less lush but still tall enough to be considered mature date palms.

The photograph has "Dorothea Lange" watermarked across the top right corner in white lettering on what appears to be a transparent overlay, suggesting it is sourced from her archive or collection. Below this watermark and at the bottom of the image are additional words: "Coachella Valley, California," which likely indicates both the location where she captured this scene as well as possibly serving as an identifier for one of Lange's bodies of work.

The overall composition suggests a working date palm orchard in Southern California during daylight hours with ample sunlight illuminating the grove.

              Smurfs Log: Me vs Dad

              * I took this photograph last week. I did so with the intention of creating a match with my father's drawing. He made that drawing in 1940. At that time he was 16 years old.

              A high-contrast, black-and-white photograph capturing a classic view of the Oudegracht in Utrecht, Netherlands, featuring the iconic Dom Tower rising in the background.

Large, leafy trees frame the center of the image, their dense foliage partially obscuring the base of the tower and casting deep shadows across the canal and walkways.

The water reflects the bright sky and the dark silhouettes of the bridge and trees, showing gentle ripples.

              A detailed, monochromatic ink drawing depicting a historic European cityscape, dominated by a massive, multi-tiered Gothic church tower in the center background.

In the lower half of the drawing, a traditional stone arch bridge spans across a canal. The bridge has two prominent arches. A set of stairs leads down to the canal bank on the right side.

Surrounding the canal and the base of the tower are classic Dutch canal houses with tall, narrow facades, gabled roofs, and rows of windows. A bare, wintry tree stands near the base of the tower behind the bridge.

My father drew the Dom Tower of Utrecht when he was 16 years old, in 1940. He relied heavily on hatching and cross-hatching to create texture, shadows and depth.

                        Good morning. 😴⏰☕

                        7 July 2026

                        I got up this morning and immediately started doing things. I knew better. My first bright idea was to empty the paper shredder — a terrible decision at that hour — but I had a foolproof plan: flip the container upside down into a plastic bag. Well, never underestimate a fool. Half the confetti slid straight down my front and the rest sprinkled across the floor like a ticker‑tape parade gone wrong.

                        I still haven’t cleaned it up. I’m waiting for the rest of the household to wake before I fire up the vacuum. At this time of morning, it’s usually just Charlie and me shuffling around. C’est la vie.

                        Do auto manufacturers even make hubcaps anymore? I haven’t owned a car with hubcaps in decades. My teenage dream was a ’55 or ’56 Chevy with black rims and baby‑moon hubcaps — a fantasy from a long, long time ago in a state far, far away. Instead, I wound up with a beat‑up Chevy pickup that had “potential,” but potential costs money, and I had none. Any repair parts came from the junkyard down the street. I think the truck had two, maybe three hubcaps. Three sounds odd, but it matched the mismatched retread tires perfectly.

                        If someone drew a comic strip of that era, it would only need two frames: Dream and Reality.

                        Honestly, I’m shortchanging the story, because that truck did have an 8‑track tape player bolted under the dash — ready to blast rock and roll through two old bare speakers I wedged behind the seat. That part was pure glory.

                        Stillness on the Post

"A red‑bellied woodpecker stands perched atop an old wooden post, its entire form rendered in soft grayscale tones. The bird’s body is angled slightly to the right, giving the impression that it has just paused mid‑movement, alert and listening. Its feathers form a striking pattern even without color — the back covered in neat, ladder‑like stripes of pale silver and deep charcoal, each line crisp and orderly. The head is smooth and rounded, the beak long, sharp, and pointed forward like a tiny chisel made for carving into the world.

The woodpecker’s eye is a small dark bead, glinting with quiet intensity. Even in monochrome, you can sense its intelligence, its readiness to dart or peck at any moment.

The post it stands on is weathered and worn, a relic of time. Deep cracks run down its length, and a small round hole sits near the center — perhaps once carved by another bird. The wood’s texture is rough and splintered, contrasting beautifully with the sleek precision of the woodpecker’s feathers.

Behind them, the background is a soft, pale blur — empty, quiet, and gentle — making the bird and the post stand out like a sculpture. The entire scene feels still, calm, and timeless, as if the woodpecker has paused just long enough for the world to admire it." - Microsoft Copilot

I realised that I’m actually always off the beaten track. In that case, I might as well send a photo from home. And here we are now ;-).

The image captures an early morning or late afternoon atmosphere, with long beams of light piercing through a light mist or fog in the woodland. The forest floor is covered with small evergreen saplings, low shrubs, and reddish-brown autumn leaves, creating a rich contrast against the dark tree trunks. Bare branches and sparse foliage suggest a late autumn or early winter season. The composition emphasizes depth, natural textures, and the serene mood of a quiet woodland landscape. Warm amber highlights and cool shadows create a cinematic and atmospheric effect.

                                        And then there was the oversized plant that was oval instead of round. It was impossible to miss, but difficult to photograph owing to the breeze.

                                        Be everwell.

                                          White cosmos flowers and a pale blue sky. One bloom with a yellow centre seems to look up at the sky. The others surrounding it are blurred and look almost like they were painted in watercolour. At the bottom of the frame, thin, green grass-like leaves; in the background, more blurry flowers in pinks and yellows.

                                            Photograph of seven European starlings perched on slender branches extending from a larger branch. The branches are in the right frame and extend up and to the left with each starling occupying its own branch and each starling roughly equidistant from its neighbors.  Four starlings are facing left, two are facing right, and one is facing away from the camera. European starlings have black breast feathers that flash iridescent green and purple in the right light, dark wings with brown edging, dark eyes, sharp yellow beaks, and brown legs and feet. Starlings also have pointed feathers on the breast and head that can be raised and lowered creating a spiky appearance with each feather giving the impression of a porcupine's quill.

                                              Good morning. Summer summers along.

                                              A round hydrangea flower head beginning to bloom. The small, clustered petals transition from a bright lime green in the center to a vibrant pink along the outer edges. The flower is nestled against large, textured, dark green leaves, captured in bright, natural sunlight that casts soft shadows.

The figures wear medieval dress in red, green, and gold tones, with an animal figure visible at the bottom center.
Image 2: A weathered, unpainted stone ceiling boss showing several carved figures with raised arms, their faces eroded or missing, set against wooden panelling. Traces of red pigment remain in the recesses, with cobwebs visible among the carved details.

                                                    We assume it’s for a nest, it was amazing to watch and was totally unbothered by us. I hope the photos do it justice.

It is looking slightly to its right toward the camera.

At the time, I was keen to gain experience with my new camera and was trying out all sorts of things. For example, I’d bought a #macro lens. But I didn’t manage to produce anything particularly spectacular with it. I took this photo with a 300mm telephoto lens. An unexpected lesson.

The bee’s wings are spread wide in motion, with visible pollen dusting its face and body. The flower beneath it features layered coral-pink petals and a textured reddish center topped with curled yellow florets. The background is artistically blurred with soft green foliage and out-of-focus pink flowers, creating a warm bokeh effect that emphasizes the bee and blossom in sharp focus. Natural sunlight highlights the delicate textures of the petals, bee fur, and translucent wings, giving the image a vivid, lively spring or summer atmosphere.
