About Here is another one taken on a different day in poor weather conditions with too many indifferent results but this one appealed to me due to the reflection.

Thank you for viewing and a bigger THANK YOU if you comment, I do appreciate it. Presented in sepia tones.

All the very best to all who visit here.

I thought I'd already commented on this, but perhaps I was wrong..I love the shot. The reflection is, as you say, appealing and the colour tone gives the whole picture something of a vintage effect. Nice one.

Hi Ray, love the abstract "8"! Well seen my friend! There's more...ink-blot-appeal....if you squint your eyes (brightness control!) and while viewing, rotate the image (or for added fun, your head) you will see what I mean...I think....


...or in other words, nice abstract composition!

Get her married to a rich sheikh, or let her participate in camel wrestling, For sure she will win when she grows her mustache ;-) and not shave it off every day ;-)

Hiya Stan.....We had a great holiday together but it was filled with difficulties. Spending this time with him 24/7 was very revealing and I have been caught up in a lot of interviews to engage another member to care for him. I hadn't totally realised how difficult things had become for him. Managed to find another PA for him yesterday so lots of paperwork to complete before I can start her. The holiday was wonderful and difficult or not I would not have missed this quality time with Ian for the World.
Thank you so much for asking Stan and thank you so much for your lovely comment. Take care, be well. My very best wishes to you as always......Ray

PS.....I am all behind on UF and doing some catch up today and the next couple of days in between phone calls and other 'Ian' matters.

"8", yes very well seen with the reflection.. again very good timing to capture this swan in this position...
well done, I remember, I also have a similar shot but with a black swan, although it's not as good as this is.
