Weekender, 11th/12th July 2026

Saturday morning here. Thought I'd give members more time to get their weekend together.

Last eve on my way home from town, stoopped less than a kilometre from home to snap a couple of shots with the phone.

Beautiful! How blessed you are to live in a place that regularly gives you such awesome scenes to see and photograph.

A deeply golden rose of intruiging depth.

"How blessed you are to live in a place that regularly gives you such awesome scenes to see and photograph."

I have to drive down the road a bit to get away from all the trees I planted, so I can see the broader horizons.
Even this view, taken in 2010, is now obscured by trees. Not that I mind the trees and a short drive or walk is all that is needed to get many open sky views.

A beautiful richly colored rose.

Such dramatic and interesting sky shots.

Great work guys!

Thanks Quint.
Good to see you dropping in.

Here's the moon last Thursday morning just before the sun popped over the horizon. Though I do have several tripods, I rarely ever use any. This is hand held.

Good to "see" you Quint, and thanks for your comment on my orange rose photo.

My thanks to you too, MFI. Great moon photo: incredibly sharp for handheld, and probably for a relatively long exposure time.

Thanks Dave. It was the best of four shots.
