This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. In this case they are for a friend, who like me, elects blue as her favourite colour.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the butterflies which are 10mm, the small flowers which are 3mm and very fiddly and the central flower which is 6mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers and stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

A little Cordoban Complexity from the back streets of Córdoba and the old town, it looked as if the lads were taking on removal duties. Enjoyed the layers and complexity with the variety of expressions and actions across the uncropped frame.
August is the month for gorgeous Hydrangeas. Lace-cap varieties are outstanding for their complex blooms. I love their starry centers.

even though my eyeballs were having soo much fun focusing on all of the gorgeous rides at the auto show i couldn't help but admire the amazing details of the ceiling in the convention center. the intricacies and colors had me looking up quite often :)
The immense complexity of Tokyo unfolds beneath a sky heavy with evening cloud from the vantage of the first deck of the Tokyo Skytree, Japan.
Our family had never visited Japan and we opted to stay for a week tacked on to a family visit to Hong Kong, splitting our time between the mountains near Nagano and the incredible human hive that is Tokyo. The Tokyo Skytree is the second highest building in the world and still quite a bit shorter than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. My youngest son is oddly fascinated with the world's tallest buildings, so we made time to ride the ridiculously fast elevator up to the eyrie above the city. It ascends 350 vertical meters in approximately 50 ear-popping seconds. There is a shorter, faster-moving queue maintained for foreign tourists, which is a very thoughtful gesture. However, the crowds packing the observation deck make one feel as if bees actually have quite a spacious arrangement. On this particular evening, the full moon was rising on the eastern side of the tower and the sun was setting on the western side. I had thought to photograph both phenomena but this proved impossible as the humanity was so dense and viscous that I could not navigate from one side to the other quickly enough to capture both photographs.
It was difficult for me to comprehend the reality of this many people in the same place. As of 2014 Tokyo is the largest city in the world with over 38 million people calling the greater megalopolis home. That's over 2,600 people in every square kilometer. The numbers simply transcend meaning to my mind.
Few days ago I went photowalking down the streets of Mong Kok (western part of Kowloon, Hong Kong) and I really loved the complexity of the details in some corners. In this one they were preparing for a flea market.

After a harrowing trip, never to be repeated, I am back in Lucca (Italy) and a new merry-go-round begins to spin

What most people don’t realize is that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics requires what we call complexity, because every little bit that happens results from the most likely process available to increase entropy (disorder) overall.
Single exposure, normal processing. Straight down, field of view maybe 2ft, 60cm. Happy Mono Monday!

Yellow-tipped Flasher (Telegonus anausis) captured at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. This image showcases the butterfly perched delicately on a cluster of white flowers, its intricate wing patterns and vibrant yellow tips highlighted against a softly blurred green backdrop. The photo was taken with a Canon R5 and an RF 100-400mm lens combined with a 1.4x extender, using a shutter speed of 1/180 sec at f/11 and ISO 800. The f/11 aperture was intentionally chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, ensuring the entire butterfly and its perch remained in sharp focus.
From a photographer's perspective, capturing the Yellow-tipped Flasher in its natural habitat presented a rewarding challenge. The choice of equipment and settings was crucial to freeze the subtle movements of the butterfly while maintaining clarity and depth. The Emerald Valley Nature Center is renowned as the top spot in Honduras for butterfly photography, offering a diverse array of species to observe and capture. Special thanks to Robert Gallardo and his efforts at the nature center. His dedication to conservation and his comprehensive butterfly book have been invaluable resources for understanding the rich biodiversity of this region. This image stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature, and I hope it inspires others in the photography community to continue exploring and preserving our natural world.

Uberfaff tonight and the thirst to paint is well and truly back now the darkness has returned.
CRT, Fibers, light pen and light blade.
Single long exposure light painting.
The third image in this mini-series. Simply adore the fine branches throughout the image that mellow the underlying shades of autumn.
The seaweed has returned to the tidal pool, in spades. Zoom in for lots of detail, er, complexity!
