My grandmother collected teacups. When she passed away, her children and grandchildren each chose a few of their favorites. This was one that I chose.
A bit of a DIY effort for this weeks challenge. I made the mini boxes and a lightcube to shoot within.
The mini cardboard boxes were designed in Adobe Illustration, using a handwritting style font for the text. The net was printed onto kraft paper using my inkjet printer.
I made the lightcube from foamboard and sheets of tracing paper. Cheap LED worklights from Screwfix were used to illuminate the cube.
For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Handle with Care' challenge 26th September 2016.
This is a close-up photo of the pair of iron handles on the red doors of the chapel at the Yarmouth Mountain Cemetery.
Thought I'd update you on the latest member of my furry 4-legged family - little hammie's been with me just over a week now. I named him "Pippin" (after the hobbit in Lord of the Rings, it just suited him - he's an adventurous little thing!). I'm so pleased with how well he's settled in... I'd been told in the shop he wasn't yet tame and worried he'd be shy. However, whoever bred him handled him well (or he's just an exceptionally confident little hammie!) cause from the start he's been a happy and nosy little character... After 24hrs, I started stroking him, then a little while later, gently scooping him up in my hands]. At first, he scurried off quickly, but now he will happily sit or walk over my hands for a few minutes at a time. He's never once tried to bite or anything :)
He goes out for little adventures each evening in his ball. Of course it's hard to tell with such a tiny creature but I think he really enjoys the explorations around our downstairs. He rolls up and down the hall, the living room and the kitchen, stopping only to sniff an interesting item in his path, give his face a quick wash... or, to investigate Barney!! I'd originally planned to keep dog and hamster apart, particularly when Pippin was in his ball - as Barney is ball obsessed and also a hunter of voles when we're on walks (albeit a very ineffective one!). However as Pip likes to roll everywhere on the ground floor, it wasn't really feasible, so I've taught Barney to be very quiet and calm when Pip's rolling around.
After one quiet but firm "settle down" from me, (he looked a bit too interested on the first evening) he has been good as gold. He actually tries to keep away from Pippin but there's no escape! Pip will spy Barney from up the hall and make a beeline straight for the big dog. He will then sit right up against Barney, sniffing at his paws and fur with obvious interest. Pippin doesn't seem scared, he's happy to groom right next to either dog and doesn't freeze or try and run off... In fact, if I move him away, he often rolls straight back to Barney! Barney lies quietly, deliberately not looking at the hammie and gently moving his paws out the way from time to time. Don't like everything the "Dog Whisperer" says but to use his phrase, Barney's the model of a dog in a "calm, submissive state". Obviously, I wouldn't leave them alone though, it's nice they seem to be co-existing but I wouldn't want Pippin to get hurt...
Anyway, Pippin seems happy in his new home, the dogs have accepted him and he's being very friendly and confident. All going very well really, now, if I can just clicker train him to pose for the camera.... ;-) Haha, will try getting some nicer pics soon, maybe of the odd pair together, reminds me of Bolt and Rhino (if you've seen "Bolt", you'll know what I'm talking about!)

I'm trying to enter a contest for the Cincinnati Zoo and can only use photos taken from June 29th to July 21st of 2008 so I'm limited on which pics I can enter. I'd go back to the zoo and get more pictures but its so hot here and I don't think I could handle the heat and smog. I would imagine the animals feel the same way and will be really taking it easy. It's a shame that they don't let you use pics from times when its cooler because your more apt to get better photos because the animals are more active. Oh well! Have a wonderful day everyone!
I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore Christmas luncheon had on the back terrace in beautiful weather this year, is a classic affair. Antique Edwardian salon chairs, Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware and my grandmother's napkin rings, antique linen, embroidered napery, and festive Christmas crackers.
However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with creamy pink and magenta roses. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
So why pink? Pink isn't exactly the first colour that springs to mind when you think of Christmas. A few weeks before Christmas 2022, a very dear Flickr friend of mine in America sent me a wonderful Christmas parcel full of lots of lovely presents, including a set of six Sheffield Steel knives from the early 1950s with porcelain handles painted in pink and hand decorated and gilded. She hoped that they might look good on my Christmas table, which they would have since the floral arrangement I made for my centrepiece that year also consisted of pink roses. What my friend did not count on was the backlog of Christmas parcels in the post. Sadly, they did not arrive until after New Year 2023. However they did make it to my Christmas table setting last year and again this year, so I ordered roses to match them especially from my florist. The knives were remarked upon favourably by all the diners at my table this Christmas Day luncheon. This same friend sent me the cake slice to match the knives last year, and it arrived before Christmas, so I was able to use it to slice and serve my Christmas plum pudding, and I used it again this year.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.
The glass handle on the glass lid of on old crock pot. We don't use it for cooking, we use it to store unshelled peanuts in. My wife found me with my camera, in a dark room, hunched over the lid that was balanced on top of a flashlight. She just rolled her eyes, sighed and said with resignation, "Just don't break the thing,."

Macro Mondays Theme: #Handle

I decided to grasp the nettle for this week’s Macro Mondays' theme, Handle with Care. Stinging nettle (urtica dioica) may be an irritant but it does have a range of medicinal properties, being an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-ulcer, astringent and analgesic. Not to miss out the wise words from across the breakfast table, “Don’t forget its use in cookery, as nettle soup”.

SHARPENING OH WHY?!
Why I didn't use my 50mm for this, I don't even know.
I'll be putting up some funny outtakes on my facebook page from this shoot in the comments.
