The day is long as it is wide, But if you measure it with your finger, It’ll only be ‘this’ long. Not quite long enough, But enough to point to that which you desire. I want that. And that, And that, But not that. And so, I sit in quiet contemplation Of a life yet…
This is the best I’ve been able to do with this one. Not a terribly sharp image, but then this fellow was rather more evasive than its friend, the Blue Heron from the previous post. I was having to be quick on the trigger and at full zoom too. Also the light was very strong…

I might have mentioned previously how easily I get sidetracked, however sometimes it’s a good thing yielding interesting results.

The magic…
In reverse order perhaps I’m posting this image in a small series I’ve named ‘Eastern Princesses’. As mentioned in my recent post of the same name I seem to have acquired a small collection of Asian women in beautiful frocks along mine and Bill’s travels. From wedding dresses to the purely cos play avant-garde, these ladies know…
The wonderful thing about having a big ol’ zoom lens is that you can get a bird’s eye view of interesting cities like Rome. It helped somewhat that I was already several stories up in the air when I took the shot. No, I’m not actually a bird. I was in fact standing at the…
I created multiple version of this image, all of which I think have merits as final prints. Below are my favourites of the batch. Bill and I discovered when we arrived in Rome at the very iconic site of the Colosseum, that it really wasn’t quite what we had been expecting. Not as we had…
