Belted Galloway cows, Woodbury, Connecticut
For years I wondered why Belted Galloway cows are bred for that wide, white stripe. Now I know.

This I took during a break for ice-cream while driving through the New Forest in the south of England. This is where Donkeys, Ponies and the like can roam free and blag treats from tourists. They are quite tame as can be seen here.
I wanted to find an unusual angle for the shot, so I crept up behind this car to take a shot just as someone reached out. I was pleased with the result.

So, there I sat … enjoying my Mimosa on Sunday morning … recognizing my good fortune … and I could not help but be distracted by the fatigue in that face.
We need to do better, America!

Quite often I roam around with my Dad’s old Leitz 21mm Super Angulon from 1963 on my Leica M-P 240. It’s a beautiful lens that has been CLA’d by Mr. Yi here in MA. Unfortunately or fortunately which ever way you look at it I only shoot in monochrome jpg with this lens because of the magenta fringing that happens on the edges of the frame. This is because the rear element is to close to the sensor. You can see in the image above the vignetting on the edges. This does not bother me that much as the image has an interesting look to it. I was thinking of William Eggleston’s image and felt it needed an update!
Ice coats everything along the shore of Lake Superior this time of year. If one is careful, you can creep around on the icy shoreline and rocks and find little treasures.
