Rayyan! Very strong, close portrait!
Corlan; just love that picture - so full of humour, contact, irony (?)

A few from Open House today. The school has it's own sheep and other farm animals. The kids are involved in every step from shearing the sheep to the making of the final article with the wool.

Jaques, didn't like me. Mon ami, I said to Jaques. I need a favor. Jaques, didn't
like me. But he was a generous and kind person.
I called Anna. The one whose buttons I had pressed in the cellar. I told her I needed a little help. But of course monsieur, anything for you.
I called a friend. Corian. Stateside. I needed a lens fast. I told him why.
I called, Steve. Stateside. He agreed immediately.
I woke up a friend Matt. stateside. No problem he said.
I met up with Osman. Near the pier. Of course, he said.
So my good friend, Lloyd...from the button pushers here to your parents
on their 60th wedding anniverasary:....
May they live long and happy amongst family, friends and well wishers.
I know plumbing not electricity. Anna would have to take a candle next time around.

No two ways about it.:thumbs:

This is a somptuous, luxuriant, bountiful shot, Rayyan.
(though i must admit that, in time, the pompous style entertained by Jacques' kind sort of irritates me. Once in a fancy place my -then- wife mistook one of the knives for spreading butter. Instantly a maître d' showed up... "I presume Madame will not have fish?" :angry:)

Rayyan: +1, a beautiful photo.
Corlan: About 35 years ago, around Christmas time, my wife and i went to have dinner at the Doelen Hotel in Amsterdam. We'd just come across Europe from Rome by train and my wife wanted to have dinner there. She lived in Amsterdam when she was younger and her grandfather would take her there for dinner. It was a very old and fancy place (especially for us at the time). My wife had something with Hollandaise sauce and i had something with Bearnaise sauce (can't remember what). They were initially served by the tuxedoed waiter and then left on the table in silver serving dishes. I decided that i wanted some of her hollandaise sauce, so i reached over and spooned some on to my plate. There was a slight hubbub, and noticeable waiter conference, in the corner of the dining room. A minute, or so later, our waiter brought over a separate serving dish of hollandaise sauce for me. It was very civilized with no disapprobation attached. After all, we were americans.

rayyan: Great photo! Her red skirt draws the eye immediately; then you see the hunched posture; your eye sweeps back on the s-curved road, which seems long, much longer then you can see; the wall of houses reinforce the road curve; and you think you understand her weariness.

Cheers, Matt

Thursday's post. Usual setup

Woody: Really nice. The framing and the juxtaposition of the three elements of the image are perfect. I, also, like the slightly grainy pp, the subdued color, the bits of leg on each side of the tree, the position of the camera and hanging strap, her blond hair complimenting the color of the tree, etc. If she was posed, you got it just right. If not, it was very well seen and captured.

Still working out the kinks of trying to combine fly fishing and photography. There are all sorts of challenges including overcoming the desire to fish while also wanting to take photos. Not to mention the constant threat of overturning the canoe, water everywhere, DEET covered hands, and the cramped quarters in the canoe. A dry bag helps me feel more secure about the gear, but makes quick access kind of tough.

In any case, a couple from the end of the day as we were leaving the pond after a day of fishing.

@TRSmith: I always thought fishing from a canoe sounds rather dangerous. My oldest son has started fishing from his kayak - which is about half the width of a canoe ...
Your shots are beautiful, though! Stay dry!
