for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Picture taken @ my neighbours' yard.
I had been so hooked up to the 100mm E Series manual focus lens, I am considering to sell my 50mm f/1.4 AF-S - may be I won't :)
I was killing time at a local camera store today and ended up buying an used Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 AIS lens - Yay, I get to take macros with an AIS lens.
EXIF: f/2.8 1/250s 100mm @ ISO 400
Pentax ME Super + Super Takumar 50mm/f1.4 + ultra expired Tasma Mikrat as ISO6, developed in stock D-76 for 9 min
Cactus has so many varieties, and iterations. And it is often very beautiful, like this.
Thanks for looking :)
pasta alongside basil pesto, chickpea sauce with chopped basil stalks, salad, mushrooms and sprouts. all ready to be plated
basil pesto flic.kr/p/2rJVA7y
pasta dough flic.kr/p/2rKh6yc
pasta dough recipe www.dovesfarm.co.uk/products/organic-pasta-pizza-flour i followed the instructions on the reverse of the packet
i used the manual pasta rolling machine to roll out the pasta flic.kr/p/2qyWLMW
finally it's clicked how to roll out the pasta using the pasta rolling machine without gumming up the works
before heading to the machine, roll out the well kneaded pasta no thicker than the gap created by the number 1 position on the rollers
look at the number 1 position gap between the rollers and don't put the well kneaded pasta dough between the rollers until the thickness of the pasta dough is that of the number 1 gap or less
result, the dough rolled out nicely, no iffy moments flic.kr/p/2r7C28e such as pasta dough getting completely wrapped around the rollers and having to be scrapped off, not good :(

Yesterday I had an encounter with a very curious milkfactory :)
I love those cows and the milk they're producing.
Have a great week my friends!
