Water Watcher
A familiar sight in the neighborhood. He never looks good on iPhone but now on Nikon the details of his feathers are quite impressive.

Magnolia
After dropping its leaves the Magnolia immediately prepares to grow out again in Spring, I always wonder where they get their weather information.

Rain/Reign o’er me
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #289 is ‘tools of photo composition’. Rain on a window distorts the sharpness outside, and adds something extra to the shape of the trees on this wet, Winter day.

Magnolia Triple
The Magnolia is in front of the house, outside the kitchen window. Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. It is a beautiful view to see it daily taking small steps into Spring.

Going for Gold
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

Flying Blues
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. Seeing this incoming flight immediately gives the association of its sound. The memory provides that information instantaneously. The image pleases the eye, it is not necessarily the ears agree.

Mono Flowers
Being spoiled by the availability of fresh and cheap cut flowers all year, I’m not too fond of fake flowers. But sometimes they make a nice statement.

The whole of the moon
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

As Below So Above
England, Walmer – December 2024
The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).
But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.
