Life in the Fast Lane

Not by a long chalk is this the first time I have photographed my birdbath. But I don't recall shooting it with a Helios-44 58mm f/2 lens before. It's not a result which showcases the unusual and distinctive bokeh of that lens, yet I nevertheless like the way it turned out.
I put large stones and pieces of brick in my birdbath chiefly to deter wood pigeons from taking a full bath and generally being disgusting. A side benefit is that it anchors the contraption to the ground more securely. And it provides a subject to point my camera at from time to time.

Steve Bucknell, have particularly liked this photo

I call this living life to the max. Well, Voltaire did, and that's good enough for me.
"Vous savez... -- Je sais aussi, dit Candide, qu'il faut cultiver notre jardin. -- Vous avez raison, dit Pangloss : car, quand l'homme fut mis dans le jardin d'Éden, il y fut mis ut operaretur eum, pour qu'il travaillât, ce qui prouve que l'homme n'est pas né pour le repos. -- Travaillons sans raisonner, dit Martin ; c'est le seul moyen de rendre la vie supportable.
