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.

The Guggenheim (officially the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum). Founded by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1937 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, it was renamed after it's founder's death in 1952.
The current building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) and built in 1959.
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).
A drive to Brecon today but instead of going up the Swansea Valley past Crai, we took an alternative route up the Neath Valley and through Penderyn. This was taken at the turn off to Ystradfellte.
Bathtime after a mtb ride in the Surrey Hills in rain and hail (it stayed lovely all day in Sussex apparently).
The afternoon sun was streaming in the window, and I was captivated by the patterns the steam was making. So much so that I fetched my camera and took it in the bath with me. Funnily enough the lens kept steaming up...
Wow. The end of the MAAP group is here. My life has been enriched by this new art medium and more so by the many friends I have made specifically in this group.
I remember the first subject was "wind". I didn't know what to expect and was thrilled beyond words with the first submission by La Legra Negra (Joseandrés Guijarro). A palm tree with its fronds being gracefully bent by the wind. Jaw dropper. Benjamin Rabe (at that time his Flickr name was nonuts) with the bunny drifting across the sky, Susan Murtaugh's scene of leaves being whipped up in a frenzy, and Blu.Yanaka (where oh where is he?) with his line drawing of a solo figure walking against the wind. I still remember those without even looking back. It wasn't just the art that made everything so wonderful... it was also the possibilities...
Thanks everyone.
We left home on a grey day, and as we got closer to Brighton, the skies lightened.
Blue sky and sunshine, and the Comedia legs seemed to be kicking for joy.
Clearing the patio and pond this morning. A quick trip out with my camera in the afternoon, but the butterflies were rather active.
Hoping I've ID'd correctly...
A visit (with a car-ful from Storrington CC) to Chichester CC's Advanced Workers Exhibition at North Mundham.
Saw Mandy, Graham (and Vanessa) and Martin from the Infinite Possibilities 365 group.
I love looking at feet under the display boards...
This week marks my 36 years wedding anniversary, never expected that to be celebrated alone, 65 years since my parents married, almost 30 years since my Dad left us and 6 years today that Bill, my FIL left us. So today I toast them all Slainte
Up at 5.30am to get to Swinley Forest, near Bracknell. Spent the whole day photographing a mountain bike Enduro race (Swinduro).
I was hoping to stay on for the night race to get some light trails and rear curtain flash, but it was running late, and I still have to drive home. Also, the marshalls were debating when the next medical problem would stop the race, and I didn't want to be the cause of that, despite planning to point the flash in the direction the rider was going.
I'd already witnessed one of two stops for shoulder injuries: a collar-bone fracture in a nasty fall, and there was apparently a shoulder dislocation shortly after on the next stage; between them causing a 2 hour delay to proceedings.
This Moon had just risen over the race Hub area, where the podiums were just about to happen for the day race.
Continuing Jacqui's idea of ticking off some Treasure Hunt topics while away on holiday, here are some (little-used) Steps in Trondheim.

The work is done next door, but not until we had put up with the droning of the plant for 9 days, including Bank Holiday Monday. The final straw was 2 hours of engine noise very close to, when the machinery needed repairing.
Having upset both sets of neighbours, this is the result in the garden. I hope it was worth it!
An experiment for the FCB's 52 Week Challenge...
Week 39: Cinemagraph
With thanks to PHLEARN for the tutorial.

Treasure Hunt 68: Train
My first attempt at photographing the Milky Way, with a bit of light painting added into the foreground.
We were approached on the walk to Spyway Barn by a man who'd lost his dog. We did hear Wolfie, and glimpsed him, past this gateway. He then seemed to work out where he was, and set off at pace back to the barn. Dave followed him, and met a rescue team out searching. As we left, we saw a bunch of cars heading back to the road, so we assume he was found.

FCB's 52 Week Challenge Week 40: Light Painting
The ripples in the puddle marred the reflection so although it was not clear it was true for that moment in time
Lights over the Market Car Park in Chichester. These may well have been the donor image for Liz's twirled one of the same day!
Spherical for the FCB's 52 Week Challenge.
Arrived with just enough time for a swim, and found a group of people hanging around in the car park. They had evacuated, and we all waited for 10 minutes while the fire brigade arrived and checked whether there was a fire or not. As we were allowed in soon after, I guess there wasn't. Quick snap as I went in for a slightly shorter swim.
A trip up to Alexandra Palace for Foals. I had promised Dave that I wouldn't try and be at the front, wanting to dance and just soak up the atmosphere.
My camera could see a lot better than me though :-(
It was good fun, and I danced and sang as many of the lyrics as I knew.
Dave first saw this band at the same venue as the first support for Bloc Party in December 2007. I saw them in 2009 as 2nd support for Bloc Party at Olympia, from the front of course!
Their music started out full of patterns between the guitars, and they have developed into a full blown indie-rock act, very popular with festival crowds.
A Straight from Camera jpeg with no editing for the FCB 52 Week Challenge Week 25.
Also fits the Treasure Hunt 65: The Blues.
Pebbles seemed to be mid-manicure, sadly not true, but probably needed...
This little set was given to me by my son's first girlfriend over 10 years ago I believe, and is still in almost daily use although she is long gone ;-
Another play with bubbles, exploring strange new worlds...
Two versions of the same to create a full planet. Inverted in PS.
I really think this is the one for the Treasure Hunt: 54 Planet...Or Is It?
Sneaking a peek through between the mother and father (my brother) of the bride. The Rev Kev created a lovely atmosphere in the wedding of Sally to Jamie. Neither of them are from Devon, they just loved the venue.
Realising I didn't have an Umpire for the Treasure Hunt, I photographed this steward at the Laughton Ploughing Match. He seemed to be going round talking to people, like an umpire would, so he'll have to do. Not managed to get to any cricket or tennis this year!
