Well I hope you all enjoyed the brief vacation stay over in Cornwall. For now we return to the Halifax Public Gardens. This would be the statue of Ceres, the Roman grain goddess. She seems to have taken "lend me a hand" quite literally, as she is normally seen holding a cornucopia in said appendage. I guess the food banks needed it more than was thought.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

I just don't know how to say this, Wendell, without hurting your feelings and creating a community uproar; so I'll just cut through the proverbial baloney and get to the facts. But before I do that, Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed. Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shooting for some food, and up through the ground come a bubbling crude (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea). Whoops...got sidetracked by Flatt and Scruggs.

I like your posting and can't find anything wrong with the shot. The narrative, as always, is hilarious. You handled the white sky very well with no overexposure. The contrast seems well tuned to me. Nothing is over or under exposed. The colors look real; so you haven't pulled a Roger (not me, you idiot, the other Roger) and oversaturated the whole shot. I like the looks of the coleus plants, and the horizon seems level. I cannot hold you responsible for the large tree on the far right that thinks the horizon should be tilting more to the right, and it's not your fault that the tree to the immediate right has a hole in it that you can see right through. Very commendable effort with excellent composition. The C-Index will suffer without having the Himalayas in the background, but we don't give a rat's behind about that, do we?

By the way, I checked online about Ceres. There was no mention as to whether she was left or right handed.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Very well done all the way around as Roger said not very succinctly.

I have heard you should never keep a woman waiting, Wendell. I suspect there will be hell to pay if someone doesn't show up with her hand. She must have fed the hand that bit her.
I like the comp and the park looks quite relaxing. Shadows and lighting are complimentary to the photo.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
