Mission fig leaves and new fruit.

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.

I have a Flick friend for whom I made this bauble in appreciation for her generosity in spirit. She has been like a ray of light. This bauble, made deliberately in Mardi Gras colours because I know how much she likes the celebration, is a thank you gift.

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 stars which are 10mm. 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 until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.

These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.

It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

Just digging through the archives and came across this one. It was made at a hotel with artificial lighting, so the colour was interesting but felt unnatural, so I converted to monochrome and kind of tided it up a bit. I particularly like the subtleties of the mist and complexities of the detail. Anyway, I need to start shooting again, haven’t been out in anger for quite a long time! Bloody Covid!!!

I love that the flowers on this hoya grow in spherical clusters.

Pepper With Baby Peppers Inside

Excerpt from webapp.driftscape.com/map/c7e357fe-ef7b-11eb-8000-bc1c5a8...:

Peru's practice explores his imagination through different mediums, embodying both his traditional and digital art background and his decades of painting and travelling. His mural captures the geometric complexity of his text-inspired work, done mostly as freehanded freestyles with clean angles and curves that are saturated by a complimenting colour palette. He explains that his colour palette is readable and reminiscent of the ones we were given as children, when we had almost no responsibilities and life was much simpler.

Excerpt from webapp.driftscape.com/map/e3671b1e-ef7b-11eb-8000-bc1c5a8...:

Originally from Florida, XRAY’s hometown is a place that has a significant influence on his choice of colour palette, as seen in this energetic and playful mural. His work blends a unique variety of professional experience and cultural inspirations, from the skateboarding and hip-hop scene to his commercial projects for Disney and Universal Studios. The elements of his paintings reference a wide range of motivations including military insignia, nature, tattoos, tarot cards, secret society symbols, Japanese art, propaganda, video games, science, and action movies.

I love the juxtaposition of complexity and simplicity

(better on black, please press L)

Various levels of streets, motorways and railway stations criss-cross the little valley of Shibuya. The complexity of all the electricity and telecom cables and particularly the plumbing must be staggering here.

“Men rush towards complexity; but they yearn towards simplicity. They try to be kings, but they dream of being shepherds.”-

Complexity of Patterns, Shapes, And Textures

Art in Nature.

Complexity

When your eyes get accustomed to shapes there is a central tree carrying another tree damaged by the weather. Taken in Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire.

Stargazer Lily

After Gyula Holics. He photographed on film common objects in simple and complex lighting to explore the interplay of shape and light.

Whilst in Brittany, after the dish washing, I explored the same by lowering the kitchen blind progressively to control the outdoor evening light by intensity and direction.

Here is something to change from the red poppy flowers! ;-)

Edit :

I found what flower it was : A passiflora.

I really like the geometry and complexity of this shot.... :-)

San Francisco, California

Got a new camera and a wide angle lens too so went off to the woods to play. It was a bit dull mostly but gave me the chance to get used to the lens.

I'm amazed by the detail (press 'L' and see why) and can't wait for a better opportunity to test it out more thoroughly.

Also I discovered the D610 RAW files aren't compatible with Lightroom 4 so had to download something to convert them to DNG files. (That makes me sound like I know all about it but spent a lot of time googling to get the answers).

2022 re-do.

“Sandstone and Trees” — Scattered trees find footholds in cracks in the weathering sandstone, Zion National Park.

Except for one element, you could find a similar scene in California’s Sierra Nevada. That one element? The intense coloration of the Utah sandstone red rock formations. The contrast between the green trees and the contrasting red tones is striking, as is the complexity of the geology —withe strata and layers intersecting and exfoliation gradually removing the topmost layers.

I photographed this scene some years ago on a visit to Zion National park. These colors and textures provide a virtual playground for photographers. And sometimes wildlife even joins in the fun — on one occasion I photographed big horn sheep on nearby slopes.
