I have kept a diary on & off (mostly off) for many years but since January 2003 have written every day. Each morning, when I write what I did & thought the day before, I look back on the events of ten years ago.
The Flickr Friday group theme for this week is Recall.
While out walking with Molly found this rusty lighter and it still works.
FlickrFriday theme is: #Flicker
"Abandon hope, all ye who enter here" - From "Inferno" - Canto III of The Divine Comedy, by Dante
The #FlickrFriday #Underworld challenge
Dante's epic poem describes these words as being an inscription above The Gate of Hell which he explored with Virgil, his guide.
My representation of the entrance to Hell is a combination of photos, all taken today. The Death's Head is atop a gravestone in my local churchyard, the doorway is the entrance to a rabbit hutch and the ground is a paving stone. Various blending techniques in Photoshop were used to combine them on a trial and error basis (mainly the latter), the final result converted to monochrome with grain, a sepia wash and a sinister vignette added.

One of the greatest things about cities are their unique histories. This week for Flickr Friday we are looking for contrast. Not just any contrast, however. #UrbanContrasts that show two different sides of the coin: old architecture next to modern buildings, poverty in modern or rich areas, dynamic lighting or characters that seems out of place, etc. Show us some contrast where you live, and be sure to add your photo to the Flickr Friday Group Pool by Thursday afternoon next week and use the tag #UrbanContrasts.

Watched this bee in the garden this afternoon looking for something to eat. It landed on the banksia, wandered a bit, put it's head right down into the flower for a sample of what was on offer, backed out and then steadily made its way northward through the spirals and twists of the flowers looking for the youngest and sweetest nectar.
It is always good to have a spare key , if I only could remember where the locks are....

Machinist, my trade, is particularly attached to the term 90 degrees due to the degree of precision to which "square to" can be measured. Add to that the repeatability requirement it's easy to see why I spent a lot of time getting it square.
Have you ever driven in the middle of stunning fields? You know, those covered with small green buds in spring or vividly blooming plants in summer and autumn! Or these fantastic city oasis where someone is keeping up a secret garden on a rooftop or in their backyard... Show us what #CultivatedLandscape means to you and share a photo with us this week!
Take your shot today or in the coming days and submit it to the group for a chance to be featured on FlickrBlog next Friday.

The first #HonkATX concert since the pandemic. #BrassBands from Central Texas, New Orleans, and as far away as Boston: playing for free all weekend in #Austin
The #FlickrFriday #LongTimeAgo challenge
HNY all.
This a fossilsed ammonite, an ancient shelled cephalopod which is an order of animals including squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Ammonites were common in ancient seas but became extinct about 66 million years ago, a time coinciding with the asteroid impact which is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs. Their shells were chambered, providing buoyancy, the animal itself living in the largest end chamber.
It is therefore at least 66 million years old but it could be over three times that. These fossils are common and act as a record of prehistoric life an unimaginable time ago.
The photo was taken as a flat lay, window lit with foil used as an improvised reflector. A 12mm extension tube was used.
Blatt vom Ranunkelstrauch. (Kerria japonica) With the automatic settings there was too much light. The leave would loss colour. So I used the manual. Nothing was changed afterwards.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to be in a bad mood after an invigorating walk on the frosty beach!

For Flickr Friday this week we want to see your interpretation of #Synecdoche, where a part can be understood to represent a whole! In this example a bike wheel or ‘wheels’ represent the whole bike. Wings can represent a full bird or angel. Get creative and describe your synecdoche in the photo description. Add be sure to add your photo to the Flickr Friday Group Pool by Thursday afternoon next week with the tag #Synecdoche to be considered for the official selection gallery.
