Thank you all for your encouragement to get out and take more photos, but todays pics are for MK who said I should "take my camera everywhere". I haven't followed this advice as I still feel uncomfortable but I did go back indoors today on way to Sainsburys to get said camera, with MK's words ringing in my ears.

So, if you like what you're seeing, she is my muse for the day! I played around with some of the SP settings, I'm still trying to get a feel for the cameras capabilities, and I will check out all the website links shortly, but I have a few 'bits' to get done before Christmas Day dawns.

So, here are todays pics:

I was trying to capture the cold and emptiness of the streets near my home in these two photos

Next, a rosebush that I used to walk past every day to catch the train. Both pics are from the same bush, just a slightly different angle and I think the second is with the macro setting:
Rose in ShadowCrystal Clear I can't get over the clarity of the rose and the contrast of pink against green.

The bark of this tree made me stop to capture its beauty. tree bark

That's it for now, but there are more to come from todays expedition. I've just gotta go eat! Maybe tomorrow I'll add the others on.

Happy
