all bought recently from whitechapel market, east london

 

i wasn't happy with yesterday's effort at making persimmon jam/sauce. it tasted ok but it was too thick, more like stewed fruit than a jam/sauce flic.kr/p/2rL7wX3

i recooked the jam/sauce with extra water and lemon juice

brought to the boil

added some more sugar

allowed to 'rolling boil' until satisfied with the result

decanted into jar

result much happier :)

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 ...

I went out in the backyard to pull some green onions out of the garden... and found these little beauties !! such a nice treat...

  

edit: holy cow... this made #21 on explore .... a record for me... thank you all for having a look :-)

So, it has become apparent to me that my computer sucks.... Still fun trying - Special thanks to Anya Ohmai's youtube for the wonderful tips for photography... I hope I can eventually get nice shots worth looking at.

Playing around with the Nisi 77mm closeup filter as an alternative to taking my macro lens on long trips. Not bad for a rushed first go. We'll see how it does on some petrified wood and desert creatures in the future.

This is a close-up HDR photo of the backlit folds in a plastic bag.

I love walking around with the 28-300mm lens on my camera not only for the flexible focal length and zoom but also it's close focusing ability.
