It's starting to rain again. I'm hoping the blossoms make it through the onslaught of moisture. But it may not last as I saw many petals on the ground. One of my favorite sights is seeing it snow "blossoms" - when the blossoms are fluttering all around from a light breeze. It never seems as though you get enough time with them!
Short story long...
As mentioned in yesterday's photo free post, Henry has a hot spot.
If you don't know what one is, you can google it. Just don't do it if you're eating.
His covers the lower half of his undercarriage - including the boy bits.
Thankfully, although it went from zero to vast tracts of Henry in just a few hours, the Magic Medicine the vet applied yesterday seems to be working wonders, and Henry is now a much happier boy.
But he still hesitates to sit and lie down. The formal kind of sit and lie down. The sprawl on his side kind of lie down he's more than happy to do, and did pretty much the entire day.
What does that have to do with this picture of Zachary?
Absolutely nothing - except that it's rather hard to pose a dog who doesn't want to sit. Or lie down. Yet doesn't want his co-model to be working even if he isn't.
Sooo... you get a happy-snappy of Zachary on the sofa.
A happy-snappy complete with a "well placed" vertical line (lamp post) smack dab in the middle of the frame, clutter in the background (on its way to the donation bin) and Zachary's big old rump front and (off)center.
But he's my Zachary, and I'm the one who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, so this simple slice-of-life image makes me smile. :)

Quick as a wink I had this banana sliced before the first piece hit the ground. Quite a trick and triping the shutter at the same time. Oh, and the flash helped stop the motion of the flying banana chips.
Thought I'd try a different crop, following the useful suggestions that were made when I posted this shot orignally in b&w. Got rid of the train tracks, recropped so there's more space to the left of the woman, left just a bit of gravel for balance etc etc. However, I couldn't resist leaving the wooden canopy in. It's so much a part of Berkhamsted Station. And I thought colour might bring out the subjects more, as they seemed to be lost in the b&w background. So, Ice Box crew...is this one any better? And Happy Slider Sunday, everyone!

tongkm's photos of boiled eggs are always perfection flic.kr/p/2rwCGxr he steams them. i've never steamed an egg, always boiled. time to have a go and test the results ...
after i'd taken a photo of the second steamed egg and eaten it
i removed the third steamed egg from the steamer, deshelled and placed on the plate (hob had been switched off and lid on after the first egg removed) flic.kr/p/2rvWbZw
verdict: third steamed egg sliced. looks good to me, firm, just how i like it to have with a salad, that'll be later :)
took a photo and ate one of the slices, delicious and flavoursome. a much cleaner, lighter appearance and taste than that of my usual boiled eggs
1st steamed egg flic.kr/p/2rvWbXH too runny, my fault, steaming is great, read on
2nd steamed egg flic.kr/p/2rw3g2L my favourite!

i've read an inch depth of water is enough
to steam or not to steam final thoughts
will definitely be steaming in the future and if i'm steaming vegetables or rice i'll add an egg to the steamer to eat with the meal, tasty!
ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
A while ago I did a layered apple composition with red and green apples...I kept the end of the green apple with plans to shoot it as I liked the star..the end slice kept drying further and further as I kept procrastinating to set the shot up and then the hard edges of the seeded area started to protrude from the flesh...a zoom blur applied to the flesh to accentuate the star...for you Corrie!
4 layers of genoise sponge, 1 layer of whipped chocolate cream, 2 layers of mashed strawberries and cream = 1 creamy but surprisingly light cake. Read more about it here.
I used to help my mother to slice beans with this in the 1960's, and even though it looks very dated it still works extremely well. It was passed on to me a few years ago.
Today my daughter and I have picked, sliced, blanched and frozen almost 2kg of beans from our garden. The slicer made the whole process much quicker, and it was clearly made to last a lifetime or two, or even three!
