Sat and watched the waves at Dancing Ledge for ages. I have *slightly* tweaked the colours, as that was what my eyes could see in the water.
Camera club coffee morning at the Black Rabbit. Yet again, the willow branches captivated me. I felt enclosed by them, and decided to have a play. Starting with a double exposure (blended in PS as the 200D doesn't seem to have this facility), I then duplicated and flipped it to create a pattern image.
Double exposure in my photostream...
I had an image ready for the POTD, but the full moon rose over Eurovision, and I went out to photograph it during the interval. Came back in time to see Madonna perform, wish I hadn't bothered!
From www.space.com:
"The full moon of May, also called the Flower Moon, will occur on May 18, at 5:11 p.m. EDT (2111 GMT). This full moon will also be a "Blue Moon" by one definition of the term — an extra full moon in a season."

A wander around Brighton before helping out with a My Brighton & Hove mentoring session.
Kym and her friends were having fun!
Probably just a bit too late, but managed to get out and look at the frost in the garden, again using the Lensbaby Sweet 50.
A wander around the churchyard while Dave was waiting at the barber's. Trying to find out what works with the Velvet 56, and the aperture to use.
I have been thrown sideways by the news that my aunt, who I travelled to Norway with just over a month ago, died suddenly yesterday. She was 3 weeks away from her 90th birthday, and has had an eventful life, but it seems too soon.
She was a wickedly mischievous person, and we had such fun on the Trollfjord, despite both of us going down with colds.
Some mementoes from Mary's years in Thailand...
We came across more colour than I anticipated at Aberglasney House and Gardens today because there was a wedding being held here . This is one of the guests - it bemused me to watch him pace back and fore knocking back his glass of bubbly, checking his phone whilst at the same time pacifying a baby in the pram. Possibly 'bemused' is the incorrect word in this instance....
A walk across the golf course, with my Lensbaby for my monthly project. Began to think I'd be going home with nothing, as no inspiration, then I spotted this fungus.

Buying bits and pieces for the van, these patterns were tormenting me from Southwater to Horsham. Luckily the had stayed and I was able to get a few snaps.
Just after my dentist had taken new XRays, and was checking them, the nurse mentioned that she could see a lovely rainbow. I asked if I could grab a quick photo for my daily diary.
I liked the feeling of looking out at it, so declined their offer of moving the blind.
Went to buy some tulips, and they had half a bunch with a few broken stemmed ones. I got the lot for half price, and promptly used the broken ones for a dreamy shot in a vase from Clovelly last year.

A tour of the singletrack areas in Friston Forest with Marmalade MTB. Founder Sean videos assistant leader Paul over the jumps, while my OH, Dave watches on. I got some air on this jump as well ;-)
For the Treasure Hunt topic of Town Centre I was trying to capture the traffic around the narrow streets of Petworth.
This may not be the most successful traffic-wise, as I have others that look busier, but I couldn't resist that signature from a car window passing close by.
Liz found out about an exhibition of work by Jon Nicholson which is on until 10th August at Augustus Brandt Antiques. Leave your cheque books at home!

The camera club Challenge for February was Still Life, and as I hadn't set up one of my macabre ones for ages, I looked online for inspiration. I kept coming back to Pablo Picasso's Goat Skull Bottle and Candle, but couldn't decide which version I liked.
I decided to post my straight version as my Still Life, but there are three versions from an online editing tool I found called Fotor: GoArt in my photostream. These used their presets called Magic Cube, Cubism and Picaso.
I don't possess a goats skull, and no sheep were harmed yesterday to produce this skull, which was found some months ago.
Flame added from an old Still Life of mine, as I forgot to light the candle, and only realised once I'd tidied everything away.
Starburst added from a Pixel Magic tutorial.
A visit to Lordington Lavender, which wasn't too bad when we arrived, but got very busy. Waiting for Oliver to have a sit on the tractor, this little girl was trying to operate the levers with her feet, and I promised her Mum I was just taking a picture of this.
A walk along the coast towards Swanage from Dancing Ledge. The light on the sea was captivating.
We also saw a bird of prey: will add to comments, ID please. It was sort of hovering into the wind, pigeon sized or larger.
A first attempt at merging myself with vinyl, as seen here:
www.facebook.com/DeskX.Art/photos/pcb.497471824347274/497...
I'm sure this would be much easier with a friend to model for you, but that wasn't my plan!
Luckily OH is out tonight, so I was able to raid the vinyl, most of whish is his!
Surprisingly few lend themselves to being used like this...
This may not happen again! Oh, and I'd better go and put the albums away...
I spent the weekend shooting the World Cup Canoe Slalom event at Lee Valley Whitewater Centre (for fun).
In the Womens K1 Final, Jessica Fox (daughter of the famous Richard Fox) manoeuvres her kayak around a tricky upstream gate, to claim a bronze medal.
The mist was just burning off as we set out on our first bike ride for 7 weeks. I love the Surrey Hills for mtb-ing, although the world and his mate seemed to have gone out (not many wives out there...)
Over to Eastleigh for a swim and lunch with the family. Came home to a beautiful sky, so a quick walk over the golf course to catch the last of the daylight.
Inspired by reports that a photo of an egg has toppled Kylie Jenner as the most liked post on Instagram, I made my own version in tribute.
Room lighting only...

Things are getting a bit hot for St George!
A play with layers in Photoshop on a wet day.
George and the Dragon were photographed today, then combined with a landscape from the Forest of Dean in 2017, and a bonfire in 2018.

A bike ride from Walking Bottom car park in Peaslake.
My first 365 in 2013 had a Treasure Hunt topic iof X Marks the Spot, and I didn't manage to get this idea then. I have a feeling I have made a similar shot previously, but this one has given itself a star as well!

"World Book Day is a charity event held annually in the United Kingdom and Ireland on the first Thursday in March. It is the local manifestation of World Book and Copyright Day (also known as International Day of the Book or World Book Days) organized by UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and copyright. On World Book Day, every child in full-time education in the UK is given a voucher to be spent on books.
The Day was first celebrated in 1995 in the United Kingdom. The original, global World Book Day event is generally observed on 23 April - it was changed in the UK to avoid clashes with Easter school holidays and with St George's Day. "
In this The Gruffalo sits to read why the fuss about himself..................
Spent today in North London with my cousin's wife, photographing the wonderful things she produces.
She is only a small business, and was struggling with her camera, so I went up to help out.
She has some beautiful cashmere and wool products, from handwarmers to migraine eyemasks, hot water bottles and wheat bags.
We had a fun time, and 4 hours of photography later, hopefully she can update her website and leaflets ready for a buyers fair in Harrogate in a couple of weeks. This one was 16:9 as a possible facebook banner image.

Drove to Lavant, then cycled on mainly off-road tracks to West Wittering Beach. It was absolutely heaving, and the queues appeared to go for miles almost back to the A27. Felt very smug arriving by bike.
Nice little swim, then lunch and return ride. 26.6 miles in total on the Centurion and Salterns Ways.
Treasure Hunt 52: Panorama
A 4+ mile walk from and to the Black Horse in Nuthurst. Lovely snack lunch before going home to watch the F1 Highlights.
Also works for the camera club Challenge 2019 for March, Landscape with a Structure...
So it stopped raining, the result of which was a visit to WWT Llanelli and so many photos to choose from.....
A days 1 to 1 with a stained glass maker and restorer. I proved to be fairly good at cutting the glass, but not so good at soldering!
I will hopefully let you see this little window once I have returned to finish by cleaning the cement off, and polishing it up, and when Dave has fitted it in our dining room, where it looks over the front door (which we rarely use).
