Playing with my old manual lenses, this is Jupiter -9 80/2 , nice but not so like Helios 58/2 you have to stop down to f4 to have good results -D750

yesterday I started a little redecoration effort. These nice books stood behind other furniture, now we can use them again!
-
geranium pyrenaicum?
It looks like a G. pyrenaicum there's als a white flowering variety, the G. molle looks similar but different foliage anyway.
What is lovely too and more dainty, if you are into wild plants, is Erodium cicutarium which seems to flower profusely this year, (dry condtitions).

Thanks Fons for the confirmation!
There are so many flowers I "know", but I don't know their name. So I just got me a little booklet for identification (Kosmos, "Was blüht denn da") :)

I'm not sure about the variety of the flower but am certain I like the color, composition and exposure. Nicely done.

Thanks Frank.
I also enjoy seeing your bookshelves. I did the same project myself three years ago to find a home for the boxes of books that up to that time I had no place for. What can be better than shelves full of your favorite books?

Today there was a performance in the street, in front of the mayor´s house in Granada. Serendipity wanted a protest sign to be right behind the stage. Neighborhood has been complaining for sometime. It reads : "Noise dose not let us live"

Paco and John, thank you! The scene was indeed fascinating. The color is pretty much the same as the real one, at least on my screen. It is not calibrated, but the images posted by the members with properly calibrated screen looks natural.

I didn't know about the streetfootball. So, you capture the moment of the kicker aiming at "panna knock out"?
No, he plays to his team member.
Street football is a simplified version of the normal football. A team of 4 players (with a voluntary keeper) on small field with a small goal https://sites.google.com/site/sportzonenz/home/street-football/street-football-rules (https://sites.google.com/site/sportzonenz/home/street-football/street-football-rules)
Here it was played on a square in the city center. I wanted a higher point view (to get a nice angle) so asked permission to enter the second floor of a shop-store to make this shot.

No slaughtered pigs. This red stuff appeared about a month ago and and seems enhanced by the rain (of which we have had more than our share). Fungus, mold, moldering leafage? I don't know. I'm replacing my porch this summer so I've done nothing about it but have remained merely curious. The color is quite rich I think.

Thank you all. I don't use this lens much because of the focal length but then again, everytime I use it, I seriously love it. With the Z6 nailing the focus everytime and the lens magic... I'm blessed with my gear :)

Franks image is beautiful but I'm captivated by the raw strenght of Andrew's piece if nature.

Finally! I got a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker from our deck. Overcast and flat light, but for once the bird stuck around long enough for me to catch it in a fleeting perch on a dead branch.
They normally zoom by into the brush next to the house, or alight just long enough for me to imagine that I hear Woody Woodpecker’s famous laugh before they fly off. Not the greatest picture, but a small personal victory :)

This Scarlet Tanager briefly made an appearance at the edge of the woods. There are a pair who nest in my wetlands but rarely come into my yard so I quickly grabbed this shot when I saw him (heavily cropped). Love this bird, a real harbinger of Spring.

In the past I thought: "postcards are easy work" ... but not today anymore ... there is nothing exciting about the Scotish landscape ... it is, on the contrary, calming to a huge extent ... so the composition must be somehow interesting ... My train shot needs some serious filtering to pump contrast up!

Gunver and I stayed in Scotland after the NG meeting, vent to Inverness.
After Davids suggestion we took General Wade's Military Road back down along Loch Ness, as yesterday the weather was not good, so we hurried away to Inverness.
Today we got lots of clouds, and less traffic than on the highway to Tillburg ;) We had cows and sheep on the road instead.
It is a slow road, but very scenic, thank you for the suggestion David.

Enormous deposits of pollen from conifers (Norway Spruce, Scots Pine) now clog water surfaces and beaches all over my neighbourhood. I visited this pristine forest lake to do a test run with my "Yellow submarine", a Gladius Mini2 ROV, but found it well-nigh impossible to launch the ROV anywhere without smothering it with the yellow, sticky goo. Did a few overview shots with my AW1 instead. Be glad that we don't do odour photography as the smell of the decaying pollen is very unpleasant :(

Downtown Oslo is rapidly changing these days. As I left the city a year ago, I cannot fail to notice the new skyline seen everywhere the times I happen to visit my old neighbourhood. This is the new Deichmann City Library. The electric pushbikes have proliferated immensely as well. One walks in danger of being overrun by them everywhere.

Cool to see a familiar face (although he does not know me ;-) )

Any idea? Many here are much more knowledgeable about nature than I am. Obviously something has done a good job of building this. Never seen one although we have had many types of birds , Squirrels , Bees etc build in the garden. Did not see any life at all. In a Neem tree about 8' above the ground. Started shooting Z6. This is 300 2.8 G vr handheld. Going out tomorrow with 500 vr but do not expect much.

Clitocybe infundibuliformis (literally funnel-shaped Clitocybe). Also known as Clitocybe gibba, and Infundibulicybe gibba.
Edible, very good if you boil it 5-8 minutes in hot water + 10% vinegar + 2 tbsp salt, dry out on a towel, and pack out in a jar with some grains of black pepper, laurel leaves, and top the jar to the brim with superior quality olive oil.
You will need 10 times as many mushrooms to fill up a small 250 g jar, though.
I am not posting a photo of these mushrooms in a jar, because the photo has not been taken in May 2019. We usually find them in the Alps in July-August, and abt the same period in Norway. Jars will never survive our appetite 'til next May...
Not to be confused with Clitocybe dealbata, which is more whitish and is toxic.

Massimo,
Thank you for your identification of Clitocybe infundbuliformis and thorough instructions on what to do when preparing them for eating. I very much appreciate your input.
I will say I don't think I shall harvest them but let them remain in the circle. I like the aesthetic of them being in situ. But, I will keep your note for future use as I imagine I'll see them again.
Best regards,
Tom

Next year, the circle will increase in diameter, so in a few years you might be able to harvest a sufficient amount for eating...
Anyhow, it's a very common mushroom, so quite abundant in the proper season. Used also to mix with other mushrooms, olive oil, herbs, a few onions and tomatoes for a pasta, especially tagliatelle.
