I had a wonderful day at Nadia’s farm shooting pictures of her 4 year old, thoroughbred Welsh Cobb, Andelain [FONT=”Georgia]”Aphrodite“[/FONT].
Andelain is Nadia’s registered stud, and her horses are taking out championships all over Australia.
She also breeds a few calves, mainly for home family consumption.
I had to laugh watching her bottle feed one while keeping the other at bay by letting it suck her finger!

Good day Mark, and any who visit later.
I enjoyed your photos. That sure seems to be a life requiring lots of hard work, but it appears that Nadia enjoys it.
From Sunday morning’s early walk…
[Nikon D7500 + Nikkor 18-300mm shot at 240mm, manual mode, 1/1250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 500, processed in ACR & PSCS5]The sun had just gotten above houses and trees to strike this rose.
And just a minute or two later I took some shots of succulents a few houses down (I posted a cropped, B&W version of this one in the Patterns IN NATURE challenge)…
[Nikon D7500 + Nikkor 18-300mm taken at 140mm, manual mode, 1/640 sec, f/6.0, ISO 500, processed in ACR & PSCS5]I love these photos, Mark!
The horse is gorgeous, and the calves are cute.
(my son in law cringes when I say cows and calves are cute!)
I can tell how proud you are of Nadia.
Sweet!Hi Dave!
That’s your Yellow Rose of Huntington
with a nice touch of sunlight and dew!
I’ll head over to “Patterns” and check out your B&W crop.Here is a shot of the falls and all.
Most of the falls area was in shade while we were there, except the very top.
You can see the diagonal on the left of the embankment shadow.
I had to tweak the details out of the shadows, rendering it a bit washed out.
The falls are 186 ft high
This steel truss bridge used to cross the Tugaloo River. The center span was removed when the new bridge was built to (I assume) allow boats to pass through.
Similar to Ginnys,
but not as pretty!

Patty, that sure is a magnificent waterfall. the trees on top look like gum trees from here but I guess they’re not.
Removing the centre span of the bridge to allow boats to pass through sounds practical, even if it leaves vehicles marooned on either side …
Lorell, firstly, to put you in the picture so to speak, Nadia is my second daughter, after Athena, and twin to her brother Ben. I thought you would recognise Nadia from images recently posted of her on her Harley.
Her Cobs compete in State agricultural shows and Welsh Cob Championship events throughout the country, including dressage.
Edit: Lorell, if you click the “Not now” button asking to create an account etc.’ on her Facebook, then you can view her website and get more information on her stud.MY FLICKR

If the trees are green this time of year they are conifers.
We do have gum trees; sweet gum and black gum.
The sweet gums turn ghostly white when they die. I have seen
photos of gum trees in AU like that too.
(I think?)
Sweet gums have these spiked balls that can shoot out from under a mower at 200mph! LOL..no fun to walk on either!Bridge: they re-purposed the center span somewhere else, not sure.
But I also have the photo of the replacement bridge and its not much higher.
Water Skiiers Beware!Lorell, thanks for that link to the barge!
I sent it to DH’s work station PC

Photos are ©2021Well, instead of posting a photo here, I thought I would show everyone what I was doing today in another thread here in the shutterbug forum.
So if you go here, you’ll see some amazing tricks that a piece of photo editing software can now do.

At risk of sounding too blasé, I’ve been replacing skies in photoshop for years, my dear!

Hahah!
I’m a bit lazy!
I try to do what I can with the camera and spend less time looking at my PC screen!
I’m still running CS3 Extended, which goes to show
1) how cheap I am
2) how little I want to massage photos!
Some folks do beautiful work with their
digital darkrooms and that’s great!
The light intensity and the clouds should
look right for the subject.
Most of our summer months are colorless, hazy skies and I
just accept that and then I don’t have to spend countless hours
fixing all my summer sky pics!Fujifilm X100F, XT20 + Nikon Camera Bodies & Lenses
