"That buzzing noise means something. Now, the only reason for making a buzzing noise that I know of is because you are... a bee! And the only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it," – Winnie the Pooh

 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 5th of September is "let it flow!",so a picture of a flowing liquid. The day I read the new theme, it was a sunny morning, and I immediately knew what flowing liquid I wanted to photograph. Whilst it is true that jam is my favourite topping for toast, I am not at all adverse to having honey. Thus I have a few jars in my pantry, and this jar of Parrot Bush honey, whilst slightly crystalised, was runny enough to constitute a flowing liquid. The good thing about honey is that it is not that swiftly flowing a liquid, which is good for me, as I am not the fastest photographer in the world! I stood the jar in a pool of bright morning sunshine on my draining board in my kitchen, where they honey was transformed into a glorious coppery red gold colour. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
