I do enjoy podcasts/Youtube where the photographer shows the failures. Gives me hope. The internet would be full if everyone had to show their out-takes.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

As close as I get to macro photography.
I had to desaturate the reds for this to be as I saw it.

Thinking this is Budleigh Salterton Brian? A favourite place to take my parents to when they were still alive. I have some of the green succulent plant that grows abundantly on the red sandstone growing in our back garden.briantrumpet said:I made a pilgrimage this morning.

Budders it is. I prefer it to both Exmuff (too trashy) and Sidmuff (too genteel, and reeks of people choosing it as somewhere they will die). It's still got a nice village feel about it.0 -
An unusual selfie (I was actually amused by the date of the fountain and the newness & shininess of the tap), and a local orchid, which (for once) I managed not to mess up the focus on.

Wow, I thought there was a bee on the orchid, then realised it’s a Bee Orchid lol0

Three from today's walk: an "aw!" one of marmots, one of flowers with nice shadows, and my latest attempt at the sort of photo where someone looks like they are looking over their domain from a precarious ledge. Yeah, OK, the ledge wasn't precarious at all, and doesn't look like it, so it's work in progress. Easier when you've got someone else to line the shot up and press the shutter, and you don't have to count to ten and run towards a ledge.

Did the marmots ‘wolf whistle’ at you?1

Another orchid - this one is ophrys fuciflora, the late spider orchid.

This was trickier than it might have been with a long stem and a breeze.

Did you end up doing what I've been known to do and hold the stem with the other hand?0 -
I have done with others, but I don't think my arms were long enough for this one.briantrumpet said:masjer said:This was trickier than it might have been with a long stem and a breeze.

Pleased as punch with this one... it's a young bouquetin, and not only did it not run away when I saw the chance of lining up two famous local geographical features, it then looked at me right on cue when I deliberately made a clicking noise with my mouth to get its attention. Hurrah!

I mustn’t complain, but these endless cloudless blue skies don’t provide much drama, but this makes a change from a flower.

Travel further east, sun hasn’t been breaking through until after lunch (and even then there’s been a cold wind for a week or more now).masjer said:

It's not often west is best, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.Pross said:

This popped up in my FB feed. West v East in stark contrast up north.masjer said:

The weather here is stuck in a rut: nice mornings, but storms threatened from lunchtime every day, so having to plan to be back by lunchtime. Today was a leisurely 6.30am rise (compared with yesterday's 5.30).
Anyway, three delicate flowers: an 'orchidée militaire' (new to me - just happened to see it from the car as I was slowly trundling home); a nice pink/purple thing (à la masjer, with backlighting); and me trying to get a selfie out of a hairpin. I'm rarely satisfied with my hairpin photos of other people (normally too much tarmac, and no sense of the movement involved). It was challenging to get the timing right, as it was on a fairly long lens to bring the background scenery closer, and I wanted to be turning. But you can't see the hairpin. More work in progress. Still, it'll keep the mafffia happy, as they've got a thing about my mollets.

Ha, while the cat’s away… It was one of those days when it was this sort of thing or nothing.briantrumpet said:
Back to the bouquetin. I remembered this wildlife doc, It truly is an incredible acrobat. Maybe they should just leave a salt lick at the bottom of the dam, though that’d make for some really boring footage.

Deeply uncreative today, but pleased to get a new orchid (a butterfly orchid), catch the first glimpse of lavender getting its colour, and to capture the sense of lots of water in the Drôme after the storms.
