Worried pigeon

Was brooding one or more eggs in an abandoned vase on my neighour's terrace. My neighbour is away to his home nation Switzerland on account of Covid-19.

I spotted it and it hid under the rim, peeking out at times to see if I was still staring.

I had all the time to fetch a camera and a telephoto lens.

Ciao from Massimo

Catching first light today with, for the first time since long ago, enough time to take a few pictures before work starts.
Hoping to get some free time to be back here more often.

I'd like to be welcomed by a morning sky like that Akira

Indeed, I felt I was blessed with the scene.


A beauty of a Dawn, Akira.  Tempting palette of colours.

Thank you, John.  When I opened the window to circulate the air, I found this scene, grabbed the camera and shot it, which I think was well worthwhile.

I reckon the 24-70 f.4S suffers by being called a “kit lens” because kit lens infers an inferior quality, when it really isn’t!
This lens deserves better treatment from commentators because to describe it as a mere kit lens is an insult to a super lens!

Yes, the lens is top notch!

The little robin makes me forget about doing my chores and chopping next winters fire wood.

Yesterday's moon, from my studio window (facing E), passing above house roofs

A couple of branches from a nearby cedar tree almost touch the moon.

Great moon!
