Wot in the world...?!, Kakheti, Georgia

... So a friend lent me her 70-300mm lens for the EOS for a few days. I was ready. Last post's bottom 2 Guinea-fowl frames were via this lens. So are today's crazy out-of-focus shots, which all occurred at or near the tiny bit of sunlit stream in the bottom shot. Put the lens on manual focus, establish an average manual exposure as well, and DREAM. Just water, and spiderwebs (middle shot).

Guniea-fowl and tone (clay bread oven!)

Making twisted rope from thinner rope, for cows

Bread in the clay oven, stuck by itself to the oven's vertical walls to bake in a few minutes - mmm!
