Ooooo, lovely, Bugleone! My dog and I would love it there! The section in the shade with the mist...the sun's rays... There's a real three dimensional feeling to this beautiful scene.
Oh, wow, I'd missed the giant lobster!! Wonderful expressions on that little girl dressed in yellow. What a strange sight - a lobster fest?
Malcolm, I am honored, however your stop action of that "dove" is miles above my pigeon's take off! I have to say that I miss using my X100...but that's OK it's waiting for me.
Right off the bat, I see that when shooting more "off the cuff", everyone's creating some seriously good images. This is a wonderful exercise to break out of a regimented photographic rut.
Here's one at the beginning of one of my dog-walking strolls when the days were a bit longer ...

This guy grabbed my attention as I was walking down in the lee of Start Point peninsula to my selected SIJ shoot spot for day 05. He's only about 2 metres away since I'm using my appointed SIJ lens, a Voigtlander 12mm, f/5.6

This is a more normal street scene for me than you city slickers :smile:
What a wonderful perfect view - Barrie! Such a lovely face, or should I say handsome? And that sweep!! Your eyes and that lens made a gorgeous image!
Backing up a bit, I want to add my thanks to, you, Jeff, for your graphic design elements amidst the snow! And to Arie, for your classic one in - one out, with your eye for design, as well!
Heather, I based my sexing on the depth of the neck when he? had moved up a little and turned. It seems a little less dark in this shot than what I saw with my naked eye, so I was thinking a Ruby Red (North Devon), but it looks more like a South Devon there (it had rained heavy overnight, so its coat was damp). The farmer has also got Aberdeen Angus and Belted Galloway, as you can see the grazing is rough. I saw his bull later, but he was camera shy and I thought Ruby Red.
Belties are striking, aren't they? We played a practical joke on someone who was slightly the worse for wear and told him they were pandas. Fun times.
Looks like a suckler from your picture, also the combination of time of year and field type. She looks a sweetie. I had a Simmental cow with a face like that, she was a contrary beast. Wouldn't be pushed anywhere, but would follow you quite happily. She had a bit of a thing for sugar beet.
Your pedantically, with apologies for previously spelling your name wrong,

A few from a stroll round the village of Slapton, south Devon (UK) today
A quiet stroll round Slapton for an SIJ shot (prior to my pub lunch) resulted in a small collection. All taken on a Pansasonic G1 with Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 lens.
A colour rendering of these images today.

The steeple with Jackdaws already noisily proclaiming nesting sites behind the slatted openings.
Convinced our daughter to come for a nice blustery cold walk with me and our dog. I chose to try this in a high contrast B&W for the Single in January...but there's something about color that I like better.
Whenever I go outside for a walk, I always feel better.
