Two and Two part two. Or actually, this is part one and my previous photo is part two. Same 4 main protagonist trees, photographed in a rush before the mist buggered off and I had chance to work the scene. I much prefer the previous image. see comments

Nice, Mike. My latest was by Coniston. In fact it was about 10m from my van on Coniston Hall campsite! Some very rich pickings to be had along there!

Two and Two. My first and hopefully not my last misty autumnal woodland image of the season.

Quite a nice wee scene. Getting to it left me with battle scars. Well, scratched legs! The joys of the well off piste πŸ˜‚

Golden Misty Morning.
Looking down into a beautifully Misty Langdale from Lingmoor.

As a British person, so not 100% sure, but I thought that this is precisely the reason why you have the 2nd. Obviously, I could be wrong, so I'm more than willing to be educated.
And no, I'm not advocating gun violence, but defence against a tyrannical government has to be better that school shooti

It's not debatable. An attack on a sovereign state, especially one considered to be at war, is an act of war.

But let's look at it another way. Russia bombs a US nuclear site, is that to be considered an act of war, or just an "operation "?

I made the mistake of parking on White Moss a few years ago, cost me 11 quid for a little over 3 hours. Never again.

Hmm, isn't an "operation" in this context, a part of an ongoing war? Or even a declaration of war?
Surely attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war, one which can't be prettied up by the use of flowery words such as "operation".

I actually can't wait, one of my great joys in to just stand in the heather surrounded by a giant cloud of jubilant and busy bees!

Yep, I found a wee patch up on Holme fell 2 weeks ago.

A wee bit heart in mouth, I went up to see my tree last night. after being so gutted to see it obviously sick last year I've been a bit reluctant to go up there. But here she is, telling me not to worry, that despite being bark-stripped by the deer which often sleep under her, she's doing just fine.

Castle Crag and the rowan. Weather conditions mean this is by no means the finished article, more a scouting image for a future visit.

Yeah, but don't forget, this is coming from the country who shouted (and continue to shout) "commie" at everything that wasn't "conservative" during the witch hunts.

Never owned an apple product and never will. Android for phones and windows for PC have worked and continue to work just fine for my needs. Apple phones macs have always been style over substance afaic.

Bottom of the Quay at the start of the path to Glasson. There was quite a fight for it to finally be awarded town green status. It's far from being a great woodland photography wise, but it's a lovely space. And there's ongoing planting of natives and wildflowers.

There's an incredible show of hawthorn in Freeman's wood in Lancaster, Mike. Branches are being weighed down under the weight of blossom and the scent is almost overwhelming.

Of course he's right. But that doesn't excuse all his other monumental cuntitude.

Looks like IR but it isn't. An experiment in capturing an essence of spring in black and white. And back to ignoring compositional "rules" In this case, the rule of odds!

Cut them out of your life.
I know that sounds incredibly harsh, but experience should tell us all that talking people out a certain mindsets is incredibly hard and rarely succeeds, they'll just dig their heels in and hurt you more.
