Have you ever stood in a particular place and really felt the need to immediately run away screaming? This was not any fun to make as half way through the weather seemed to change to conditions that the midges like and just like baddies being beaten by Bruce Lee in a Kung Fu film, several million queued up to have a go at me one after another.
What is the collective term for midges anyway? I think 'obnoxious', 'beeping', 'gits' although apt are not accurate and 'arrgggh' is probably the same. I reckon the proper term is 'cloud' but that doesn't seem right in my eyes as all clouds do is rain on you, strike you with lightning or suck you and your caravan up into a tornado - all much more preferable to being savaged by midges.
So I had to invent a new type of land art and I called it 'gangland art.' I was going to shorten it to 'glandart' but I suspect that will put the wrong image into your head entirely.
'Gangland art' fortunately does not involve drive-by shootings, fitting someone with concrete slippers or having Joe Pesci ask you if you think he is funny (funnily enough I do). What you have to do is wear a baseball cap and a hood and make sure that the hood is done up tight so only your eyes can be seen. This means that all the midges can manage to bite is your eyelids and so the finished sculpture (a 'fusion' if you will between insect and human) is a letter box shaped stripe across your face peppered with red dots a la midge. It's rather fetching and the look is finished off with socks that are tucked into trousers. Right now it's all the rage in the land art community.
My favourite cherry trees are displaying their full range of autumn colours right now and each chevron is a single vein taken from a leaf to show that full range. I think this is an idea with still a little way to go and isn't the finished article. The size and position of the circle meant it was difficult to get a photograph that does it justice, it is one of those that probably needs to be seen in person. But each step down a new creative path is another step you don't have to take to bring an idea to its full potential.
Oh and one other thing. My 4 colour sun wheel got it's 1000th favourite today! I am dead chuffed and don't think I will ever get anywhere near that again. Thanks to all that faved it.

Today was cherry picking day in our garden. After a couple of rubbish years it's a bumper harvest, 6kg and counting so far. Jam is already made, Cherry Ripple Ice Cream is next...

Cherry Burton Church and cemetery a beautiful village a few miles from Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire when the photos were taken on 30 July 2019 I was the only person there! The Church is St Micheal & All Angels Church Cherry Burton.

Treasure Island has had some of the best cherries -ever- this summer!! I highly recommend getting some for yourself....
Some Cherry blossoms back in May. I re-uploaded this after adding some texture.
Big thanks to finestere.

Every year, we made a special trip to see the cherry trees in bloom along the Potomac River.
They were a gift to the United States from Japan, since I was born there they always have had a special resonance for me.

Cherries are not among my top 10 favorite fruits to eat... but when it comes to taking pictures I don't play favorites ;-)
Cherries on my bedroom floor : a serie, sequel to the dried bananas one. Special thanks to Simon, for lightning, inspiration and everything he does for me.
