“...every question is a door-handle.”
―(George MacDonald)―
The doorknob on one of the doors in the relatively ancient old Oregon farmhouse in which I live.
HMM- the theme for today, 5/25, is handle and this one is probably the most colorful of the 3-4 macros that i'll put up.

I picked up this little antique footstool many years ago - my mother upholstered it at least 30 years ago - patchwork, to go with a rocker we once had. We called it the rolling pin for obvious reasons - the rolling pin handles!
One for the Smile on Saturday theme 'Handles'. The ornate door handle on Tealby Village Hall, Lincolnshire.
Looking close on Friday theme: Mug Handle
Mug and handle adorned with classic characters from Beatrix Potter books.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Crazy Tuesday group theme for Oct. 21 is "handle with care." I offer you a still life with alcohol and a surrendered car key fob.
Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5B TLR Zenar 75mm f3.5 1954
Film: Ilford SFX 200 Black and White 120
Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia
The Rolleiflex TLR camera is exceptionally good for close shots, but I wanted to see how it would handle a landscape. An immediate issue in composition is the 6x6 square format. As you can see here there is a lot of negative space (though I would argue those clouds are an important element in the picture). Whereas I would definitely need an orange filter to bring out the definition in the clouds with 35mm, the medium format film handles this situation without difficulty. If you enlarge this photograph you'll even see a duck swimming in the North Esk River.
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!)
A view looking to the south across the canyon and gorge with blue skies above while walking the North Vista Trail to Exclamation Point along the North Rim in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and capture that sweeping view with the outcroppings, ridgelines and cross-fissures present. The canyon and cliff walls would be all around with just a portion of the blue skies in the upper part of the image. There was also some of the foreground in the lower image left that I felt helped to give a sense of perspective and a layering of the image. One can even see a small portion of the Gunnison River flowing by in the image bottom.
Riddled with program descrepancies and circuiting errors, the Goof Bot has almost no good qualities. It cannot even handle the simplest tasks. Usually only brought out and powered up when in need of a good laugh. It stumbles and stutters and mutters giberish.
Another retro-ish bot while I have all the grey out, and yes the eyes are tied down with string.

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!
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,."
