The #pollinators have done their job with the #apple#tree. There are now many nascent #fruit on it clumped in groups of about four to five. Here’s a close up of one.
Guten Morgen Troeters,
Wünsche Euch Allen ein schönes Pfingstfest.
Und da ich noch müde bin halte ich es wie mein Podenco, ich schlaf noch ne Runde.
Bis später
Rallentando musically basically means to relax, to slow down in a graceful manner rather than a jarring change. In life, it's a good philosophy when possible
The photo I fed into the opaque projector for this piece is an inversion of a pic I snapped from the window over wing seat, which is pleasing on it's own
Last one on the #Dartmoor theme for today. #DartmoorPonies roam wild on the #moor and are free to do so as they are a protected species. They will usually leave people alone but they will defend themselves by biting or kicking if provoked. It’s wise to keep a respectful distance from them.
Looking closely at the #granite#boulders, you can see they are covered in #lichen and they make the surface rather spongy or flaky depending on moisture conditions. They remind me a bit of Jackson Pollock paintings.
This river #valley looks more bleak than the one I posted last week but it features prominent boulders of #granite strewn everywhere. The land is used for grazing of #sheep and #cattle. You can also see the undulating horizon with many hills in the background.
Another week on #Dartmoor and another #dam and #spillway. This one is from #Venford#reservoir and is quite an unusual dam constructed of #masonry. It was opened in the first decade of the twentieth century. A couple of decades ago, work was done to ensure the spillway could handle flood events of increasing magnitude as a result of #GlobalWarming. As you can see there was some flow today over it.
The depth of field isn't optimal, but it's still a pretty dragonfly that allowed me to make a few snaps from 4 feet away, while the light meter was completely and utterly wrong.
Straight from camera (#SOOC) other than some cropping #photography#insect#dragonfly#MyWork
