Thanks, John. All Snapseed. Mostly tuning reducing the warm, a 16:9 crop with a touch of glamour glow. I was always amazed at what RoseCat achieved with Snapseed and the filter apps don’t always do it for me.Great atmosphere, what app did you use?
A lot!Mon 10 Jan
I’ve been struggling to get a time lapse of my amaryllis and the main flower, flowered overnight when my iphone was off. Then my darling DH moved the flower because the back bud had hit the window not thinking that I didn’t want it moved. So I abandoned that time lapse. So here’s two of the images on Monday as it was starting to blossom. Interesting to see how much it changed in just 1hr 35min

Ah ok, wouldn't have guessed that. I'm too used to the 'sledgehammer' edits I see from Snapseed. This is a lot more subtle, I very much like the frame too.Thanks, John. All Snapseed.

Thanks chaps.Love the dreamy atmosphere.
Finally got a time-lapse. Didn’t get the lighting quite right and had to leave the lounge light on all night. Started at 7.50pm and ended at 5.30am so just short of 10 hours. Frame every 5 mins.A lot!

All three are wonderful. The perfect photo walk!Wed 12 Jan
Was up early this morning to sort out the electrician at our future home. From here and on the way to golf, I stopped off at the local common because it was such a spectacular morning.
They put up a pay-as-you-go parking meter in the parking lot about 8 years ago and I stopped going there (£1 an hour.. seriously!? and in the middle of nowhere because it’s vast and they want to encourage people to exercise??). Glad to see that they have taken that down. Wouldn’t be surprised if it cost more to maintain or that it was being vandalised at night. Now I have my old walking place back and it’s close to where I will be living so YAY!

However, the golf course was pretty stunning too if a wee bit cold!

Such stunning flowers. I’m interested to know how long they will last. Not long I am sure. Quick flower, quick decay.Wow - this is magic. We bought two new amaryllises today on sale for only about 2 euros
Thanks Eva.The perfect winter morning light
A Swedish evergreen from 1955 is a song titled ”Underbart är kort”. In English something like Wonderful is brief . Good description of amaryllisesSuch stunning flowers. I’m interested to know how long they will last. Not long I am sure. Quick flower, quick decay.
That last image is a beauty.Wed 12 Jan

Thanks, John. I had to miss out on some other fabulous scenes because the golf got in the way and I don’t often get an opportunity because I do admit to being a bit of a fair weather golfer!That last image is a beauty.
Interesting back storyFri 14 Jan
Was another great day to be outside with the frost, mist and sun but I had to be at home to have two different repairs done. Left without hot water yesterday. So it’s a bit boring today - a parakeet sunning itself in next door‘s tree.
For the folks who don’t know, apparently the abundance of the parakeets in this area was caused by their escape during the filming of The African Queen in 1952 at the Shepperton Film Studios which is 8 miles away. They have proliferated over the years and become a pest and disturbed a lot of the local bird life.
