This is an early work of mine , taken with just a simple compact digital camera held up to the eyepiece of my telescope. Finally combined in Photoshop.

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
We have a lot of earth works going on at our property, and I am finding so many fascinating elements to document. This is an attachment for the excavator and a big pile of clay material we’re holding onto so that we can hopefully have enough to line a small dam!!
A vintage powder compact that I found while cleaning my house a long time ago. It was the one my mother used when she was young. It's so fashionable that I asked her to give it to me.
There is still powder inside, but of course it's too old to use. But I still treasure it because I like it so much.
The size of this compact is 5 cm, including the part not shown in the photo.
Del 19 al 21 de abril se celebró en Zgz la tercera edición de las “Fiestas Goyescas” en torno a la figura de Goya.
”Esos niños que juegan a soldados
prostituido el hombro por el arma,
esa torre caída y el silencio
pensativo de su campana;
esos redondos ojos inocentes
abiertos ante luces nacaradas
¿han de cerrarse un día ante las luces
pavorosas de la batalla?
Mientras están jugando, en ese instante
tan sin culpa, tan puro, la amenaza
culpable, impura, acecha entre sus juegos
¡tristes soldados de mañana!”
Muchachos jugando a soldados (de Nuevos poemas a Goya) - Ildefonso Manuel Gil

El solsticio de invierno
Esta mañana (21 de Diciembre) mi calle estaba llena de gente para disfrutar de un fenómeno que lleva produciéndose más de 2000 años. En el solsticio de invierno el sol al salir ilumina de lleno la calle.
Zaragoza se trazó siguiendo los cánones romanos a partir de dos grandes vías urbanas: el “Cardo Máximo” de norte a sur, (aproximadamente la actual calle Don Jaime I) y el “Decumano Máximo” de este a oeste (C/ Mayor hasta C/ Manifestación). El resto de las calles se trazaban paralelas a éstas creando una estructura ortogonal, de red o cuadrícula, que formaban manzanas que se irían llenando a lo largo de los años con distintos edificios y casas de las familias más pudientes.

”Árboles desnudos
corren una carrera
por el rectángulo de la plaza.
En sus epilépticos esqueletos
de volcadas sombrillas
se asientan,
en bandada compacta,
los amarillos
focos luminosos.
Bancos inhospitalarios,
húmedos
expulsan de su borde
a los emigrantes soñolientos.
Oyendo fáciles arengas ciudadanas,
un prócer,
inmóvil sobre su columna
se hiela en su bronce”
Plaza en invierno - Alfonsina Storni
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
