DADDY: "Are you settling in well, Edgar and Benjamin?"
EDGAR: "Oh yes, Daddy!"
BENJAMIN: "Thank you Daddy!"

EDGAR: "And enjoy such delicious macarons!" *Licks lips with cute little pink bear tongue.*

DADDY: "Oh dear!"
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 17th of January is "plush toys", which is the perfect theme for me, as I have a lovely collection of soft plush bears who quite enjoy being in front of my camera and under my lens. Both made by Merrythought Bears in Ironbridge, Shropshire, Edgar and Benjamin are the two latest additions to my ever burgeoning bear family. I hope you like my choice of bears for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
This beautiful Willow Pattern nursery tea set was made in England by the Shell China Company in the 1920s. It features four cups and saucers as well as a tea pot, coffee pot, milk jug and sugar bowl. Each piece is gilt edged and decorated with the Willow Pattern in blue, just like the life-size equivalent. It has two sister sets: a 1920s Shell China Company nursery rhyme tea set that I was given as a gift some years ago by a close friend who knows I collect nursery ware and children’s tea sets and a faerie tale set from the 1930s Shell China Company faerie tale tea set that I have built up from various sellers over time.
Handmade at Merrythought in England from warm-gold tousled mohair plush, Edgar is a cheerful companion who has terracotta pure cotton velvet paws, and wears a delightful floral cotton bow tie. He is number 2 of a limited worldwide edition of 200.
Benjamin is made by Merrythought in England too. A friendly character, he has been handmade from soft, caramel-coloured mohair plush featuring a chocolate-coloured base that beautifully complements his pure wool felt paws. He wears a traditional, satin-lined waistcoat made from the finest British tweed and secured with brass studs. He is number 110 of a limited worldwide edition of 150.

Another from my favourite part of the Fairy Pools with Sgurr an Fheadain as a backdrop, near Glenbrittle, Isle of Skye. I liked the moody sky, in this one and the dusting of snow on the Cuillins was lovely!.
“Perhaps all women are part faerie, for what woman can deny her faerie blood when the portals to her own land are open; when the full moon sings its insistent song; when sorrow and passion and rage pulse through her body at moon times. This is why women are the chosen ones of Faerie, part of the vibrant, fluid, emotional soul of the world…”
― Brian Froud, Brian Froud's World of Faerie
Having processed Light at the End of the Tunnel in less time than I had anticipated it had one of those ‘I wonder what would happen if…?’ moments that are the bane of my attempts at becoming a serious photographer.
“Fun was had,” as they say, “but I had nothing to do with it. Honest!”
I’ll post this version in my 100x Wobbly Camera project so as not to buzz either group with the same image.
Thanks for looking. Have fun. Happy 100x :)
I was walking through the woods on an island on the Lake and saw this beautiful moss covered tree with a tiny opening at it's base. It looked so magical!
The ancient forests of The Trossachs, Scotland, are home to the myths and legends of The Urisks - the Faeries of the Forests. When you come across sights like this it is easy to believe the old stories. Taken near Bracklinn Falls, at the small town of Callander.

As I was going through photos from this last October, I noticed one in which there was a figure which looked as if it were dusting the leaves.
I thought perhaps an extreme slide might be appropriate. I did a bunch of dodging and burning. Then copied and turned it to LAB color mode. Inverting the A channel turned a lot of the green to magenta and therefore brown when combined with the yellow of the B channel.
I masked off the faerie duster so that a separate curves adjustment accentuated its blue.
And strange as it seems, this is what I saw when looking at the unedited image.
The unedited image is in the first comment box.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Dim vales—and shadowy floods—
And cloudy-looking woods,
Whose forms we can’t discover
For the tears that drip all over:
Huge moons there wax and wane—
Again—again—again—
Every moment of the night—
Forever changing places—
And they put out the star-light
With the breath from their pale faces.
(Edgar Allen Poe)
This is a blended exposure inspired by the work of Chris Friel. The underlay was an intentional camera movement vertical pan
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
