A plethora of colours
Another great catch last night, with slightly reduced numbers as it was a little cooler
last night.
Some great new species for the garden including Barred Red (did not expect this one, this is only my 3rd and my first Hertfordshire record), Lackey, Swallow-tailed Moth and a lovely Elephant Hawk-moth (finally another species of Hawk-moth!)

From RAW corrected some colours, reduced the exposure slightly and slightly increased contrast. Fixed the tilt and cropped the top half away. Added a colour monochrome layer. A slight sepia tone for flavour. Played around in Aperture (the software). Did I drain it of life?
I would really love some suggestions from the more experienced photogs out there as to what is good, and what could have been done better in this shot.
I don't like the barrel distortion of this lens, and wish I took it from further away to prevent that tapering effect (does it have a name?)... this was better done in Angel of Sydney

The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula and The Spire) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Chéseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula,] an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation.
Characteristics
The Eagle Nebula is part of a diffuse emission nebula, or H II region, which is catalogued as IC 4703. This region of active current star formation is about 7000 light-years distant. A spire of gas that can be seen coming off the nebula in the northeastern part is approximately 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometers long.
The cluster associated with the nebula has approximately 8100 stars, which are mostly concentrated in a gap in the molecular cloud to the north-west of the Pillars. The brightest star (HD 168076) has an apparent magnitude of +8.24, easily visible with good binoculars. It is actually a binary star formed of an O3.5V star plus an O7.5V companion. This star has a mass of roughly 80 solar masses, and a luminosity up to 1 million times that of the Sun. The cluster's age has been estimated to be 1–2 million years.
The descriptive names reflect impressions of the shape of the central pillar rising from the southeast into the central luminous area. The name "Star Queen Nebula" was introduced by Robert Burnham, Jr., reflecting his characterization of the central pillar as the Star Queen shown in silhouette.
The Eagle nebula is part of the astronomical object listed as M16, that is object 16 of the Messier catalog. M16 is made up of the nebula and an open star cluster associated with it, cataloged as NGC 6611, and whose stars are seen in the different images of M16. Wikipedia

Drawn with Sharpie ultra fine on an 8 x 10 canvas block I got from Joann's. Shaded with graphite. I'm trying to decide if I want to add any color to it. First time I've worked with canvas, and it will need to be sprayed with something to hold the finish. We'll call this one "for practice".
This is from an Anything blut clothes party we had! Kallie is wearing a beautiful dress of green plastic bags, with duct tape accessories. With duct tape as my best friend as well, i sport a dress made out of a lot of old newspapers folded up like oragami and put together, and Jennifer sports a shredded plastic bag dress, with colorful birthday ribbons added as accessories! Wicked!

How about something nice to eat? late in the month? want left overs?
OK.
Melt 2 cloves of garlic and one large and one small onion in the good olive oli. Leave under a lid for a while to get transparent.
add 300 grs of risotto rice and let it get some flavor of the onion/garlic. Add some thyme and sage since it's hard to get fresh herbs in this weather. Stir!
add about 3 dl of white wine, stir softly until the alcohol smell fades off and the rice "thickens".
(Here is what I did, since I had some left over oxtail soup from before, I added some water to that and got oxtail broth).
add some (already boiling) broth, about 1 dl at a time, Stir! (that's the secret, stir stir stir).
let it reduce while stiring, and then add more broth, about 1 liter of broth (a dl at a time) would be stired and reduced in 20 minutes and that's about what it takes.
(about here I added a huge handfull of froozen peas, Salt & Pepper)
just as it's done, add a big dollop of the good butter, stir and leave to steam under a lid.
stir and then serve. Hey, No cheese!

Community health worker Stephen Omollo (L) dispenses doses of setamol syrup – which helps to reduce fever – for Julius Ochieng, who is being held by his mother Carolyne Anyango. The boy has been presenting with a fever, but tested negative for malaria. All febrile children under the age of five are immediately tested for malaria by community health workers, enabling life-saving drugs to be administered at the earliest possible moment (Credit: Zoe Flood).
