Hi Lorell. Hope the outing to the park was fun for both of you.

I really like the lighting you saw, captured (and maybe emphasized so well?) with your image; it has such rich colors. Very effective! :thumbsup:

Haven’t done much photography lately; here’s one from 4 days ago…

[Nikon D7500 with Nikkor 18-300mm at 110mm, manual mode, 1/160 sec, f/7.1, ISO 500, processed in ACR then PSCS5]

Wishing you all a happy and productive Tuesday.

Lorell, how can you have fall and spring in the one picture! LOL … But you can do anything, I know!!! :thumbsup: The low key rendering is nice, it seems to be your signature style.

Dave, red poppies make stunning images, I like very much the way you’ve cropped and composed it.

Lorell, it looks like a dead seed head was left from the fall and the spring flowers sprung around it? Very nice colors.

Dave, I agree with Mark. A lovely photo and very nice composition and cropping.

cool parrot pics!

Mark, what nifty shots of the parrot. He was very accommodating.

Lorell, Sandra and I are both looking forward to Come From Away. You may recall the last live musical we saw was Calamity Jane, in Sydney last October – the late Doris Day was of course the first who played the title role, although I doubt you are old enough to remember her! Are you fond of music and if so, what sort?

Well Lorell, I was never a fan of Doris Day’s, not that I did not like her but rather that she was not the type of smoldering actress that I most admired, such as, Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, Vanessa Redgrave and so forth.
who in my youth didn’t do a lot for a young man’s hormones – he preferred the baad ones, or at least those that pretended to be!!
Nowadays, I do not like rap, heavy metal, and jazz either, so there we agree. I like opera, classical, Irish folk, Country & western when in the mood, and French Chanson.
