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.
The #FlickrFriday #Spoon challenge
So, how did I learn photography? Trial and error (mainly the latter) but also through the pages of Practical Photography magazine which sadly this week announced it will no longer be publishing after 61 years. It will be sadly missed.
This photo features one of the first creative techniques it taught me - colour popping. It also features the last - The Flat Lay.
A fancy wooden salad serving spoon, a cherry tomato for a splash of colour, and some parsley were placed on a very well used chopping board in front of a window. A white card reflected the windowlight back onto the scene. Precariously balanced on a chair, I took the photo from above, loaded it into Photoshop and applied various dark arts to tease out texture and create the colour popping which lifted the elements from the board which was a similar colour to the spoon.
I'm lucky to have a built in toolkit the top of my sewing machine for all the different attachments.
Apart from all the big problems around the world today, I hear the news of the passing of Bill Withers (Lean on Me) and today's FlickrFriday topic is remarkably apt......
This week’s Flickr Friday theme is a great chance to feature a beautifully artistic or interesting ceiling. If you don’t live around the corner from the Sistine Chapel, perhaps you can find a fabulous mall or church or hospital ceiling worth photographing. Perhaps the light and shadows in your own home can make a beautiful ceiling photography.
Whatever ceiling you decide to photograph this week, be sure to add your photo to the Flickr Friday Group Pool by Thursday afternoon and use the tag #ceiling to be considered for the official selection gallery. Tell us in the description of your photography where this ceiling is and why it moved you enough to be your submission for this week.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be in a bad mood after an invigorating walk on the frosty beach!

The #FlickrFriday #Soulmates challenge
Introducing Toffee and Wally, our two house rabbits.
Toffee is a rescue bunny, her previous owner having become unable to care for her. Her left ear had to be amputated in early life due to a serious infection. It's part of her charm and it presents her with no difficulties whatsoever. Wally, so far as we can tell, has significant sight loss. Thankfully, animals suffer none of the mental trauma such an issue would cause we humans so he happily blunders around the living room as he wishes.
Both have been (ahem) "trained" to respond to treats, in this case sultanas. That's how I secured their very temporary cooperation to allow this photo to be taken. It was window lit and processed in Photoshop, principally being converted to monochrome, blur used to reduce a distracting background. Haze, grain, a pale vignette and finally a sepia tone were also added to add a bit of warmth and hopefully an 'ahhhhh' factor.
Walks with the fur child produced this winner of the Singapore airlines flight SQ298 to Singapore. Couldn’t have timed it better. Taken with the 55-300mm.
St Mary's Parade Lancaster. All the houses in Lancaster from before about 1950 have lots of chimneys, because they would have had a fireplace in each room and a range in the kitchen. Now houses have, at most, one fireplace for smokeless fuel or a wood-burning stove. So all the others are empty and may be sealed to avoid the draft. They make nice homes for jackdaws.

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.

Ladies' Walk is shown on maps of Lancaster in the 18th and 19th centuries as a broad tree-lined footpath east of Skerton Bridge. It was cut off by the Midland Railway line to Green Ayre Station from 1849 to 1966. Now there is again a walk there, the bike path up to Crook O'Lune. And it even has a signpost saying it is Ladies' Walk. Early on a Sunday morning, it was busy with bikes, and a few dog-walkers. This lady gave her permission to be in the photo.
