Viola odorata white flowering form at Malshanger, Hampshire. Along the lanes and around the format Malshanger this form is seen in the hedgerows. Strange a white flower should have the name 'violet'. www.plantlife.org.uk/things_to_do/grow_wild/?ent=266
For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "One single object"
My favourite and quite iconic sunspecs. The Porsche Carrera 5620, made famous by Yoko Ono.
The theme for today mentioned "One Object – One Story" and I chose these for the story that they tell in my life 😊
I've always needed to wear sunspecs or I squint and my eyes water! But before the "swinging sixties" they drew unwelcome attention in my part of the UK! Comments in the street … I was considered "uppity" and pretentious. But with the pop groups and the films of the 60's they gradually became accepted …. and I could wear them in peace. And then they began to appear in wonderful shapes and colours too!
Looking back it seems like another world … but I still treasure my remaining pairs of 'designer' specs, and Yoko's in particular!

Single Form, by Barbara Hepworth.
This sculpture stands in Battersea Park London, on the South shore of the lake, and is a smaller version of the one that stands at the United Nations in New York.
The first cast was made in 1963, and was displayed in an open air sculpture exhibition in Battersea Park.
In October that year, It was was shipped to America. It was donated to the Johns Hopkins University, and displayed in Washington D.C.
A second cast was also made in 1963, and was bought by the London County Council and installed at Battersea Park. (pictured here)
Hepworth doubled the size for a casting that would become the largest bronze artwork ever cast at Morris Singer's London foundry.
It was commissioned for the United Nations building, and was erected in New York in May 1964. This bigger version weighs 5.5 tonnes, and stands 6.4m high.
It has now stood at the United Nations for 60 years.

This young vineleaf is growing on the house wall right outside my window.
The early morning sun was hitting it so strongly I first thought these shots might
not turn out. The brick wall in the back let it look rather pale so I changed my angle
until I had the red downspout behind. It is then when I thought... wow, great reds!
Here are two of the shootings.
I pass this field almost every day and in fact, every year I look out over it at this time of year and remind myself to photograph the tree with the dark sky behind it contrasting against the gold. And every year I forget to go back, until today. And just in the nick of time as the farmer told me it's getting the chop tomorrow - the barley, not the tree!
I love trees; there's something so reliable, solid and dependable in a tree; something lasting; something that will outlive us all; something we can trust. This evening as I was basking in the fading sunlight glinting off the golden barley, I wondered about the tree and how deep her roots must be to hold her up in such an exposed spot.
This is lit by hand in less than one second!
he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.
This is a single exposure, fresh from today. Check out the close-up: twitter.com/ericpare/status/1587956945994108928 😱💙🌟

The knife Angel has been created as a National monument against violence and aggression at the British Ironworks Centre in Oswestry and is a memorial to those whose lives have been affected by knife crime. It is a 27ft high sculpture, which Alfie Bradley has designed and created single-handedly using over 100,000 knives surrendered and collected in nationwide amnesties in 2015/2016. The angel began it's tour around the UK in 2018 when it was housed outside of LIverpool Cathedral for December and January in order to raise awareness of the impact of knife crime on society, the victims and their families and friends.
Please view large, thanks.
A simple scene... but I like it. A wintry and fog framed Stanton Mountain reflecting into the calm waters of Glacier Park's Lake McDonald. I really liked how the bright snow on the peaks stood out against the dark clouds.
Taken for this weeks (25-Nov-17) Smile on Saturday 'One Single Leaf' theme.
There are so many leaves here (late Spring in NZ) that I had to second another leaf to hang on the branch so that it would stand out!
Wishing you a happy Saturday, Sunday, and every other day too :-D

'The Single Beech also know as the lone, or lonely beech, is the highest tree in the Cotswolds also at 317m. There is a fine 360 degree view from here and you can really appreciate the open aspects of this hilltop landscape. The Memorial Wall surrounds the tree, with plaques in memory of those who have been particularly fond of Cleeve Common.
Cleeve Common is the largest common in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also the highest point on the Cotswolds at 330m. The Common is a conservation area and Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geology, habitats and botany and it contains a wealth of archaeological interest, including three Scheduled Monuments. It is looked after by Cleeve Common Trust.
