Day 192/365:
Alternative title: Desperate measures!
I hadn't got a photo, the light was going and I haven't got my props with me. The other day I managed to acquire some music sheets and this little vintage book of British Grasses, Sedges and Rushes. To get better light I arranged them on a table outside, placed this grass and sprinkled some rose petals...immediately the wind picked up and scattered most of the petals far and wide. Try chasing after rose petals with a bad back. So I used my iPhone 13 Pro again for this one. Edited in Snapseed then added some textures (my own).
Let's go with something simple today, but something that fills the frame at the same time.
This old dictionary has been around for a long time, years ago they were throwing it out at work because it was falling apart but I though Scott might like it for his origami, turns out it doesn't quite work for folding, but it does work for photography so this broken book still has some life left in it.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

My grandmother's tin box full of old buttons was one of the great objects of delight in my childhood. And now I have my own. (When it is not being photographed it is a lot fuller than this!)
I need some inspiration, what better than to trawl through flickr and if that doesn’t do it, then it’s over to hard copy.
In this case The Great Life Photographers, hefty tome, well printed and showcasing fabulous photography such as this 1952 image of Suzy Parker modelling the ‘Siren Look’, shot by Milton Greene.
Taken on Olympus EM1.3 and vintage Canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens.
Alas, flicking the pages only serves to bring one to the edge of despair due to the realisation that one hasn’t the necessary talent, time or access to models (the OH would snap my neck like a twig 😂)
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och veckans tema «flatlay».
My contribution for this week's theme «flat lay»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Our office’s current photo contest theme is flat lay photography. I practiced flat lays and still life on some cranberries over the Thanksgiving holiday. Had never done this before and honestly, the composition and design intimidated me a bit. Was great fun though and hope to do it again before the end of December. Learned a lot!
A quick Sunday still life, I didn't have too much of a theme other than 'lazy Sunday', but I do like the way this turned out.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end?
Her fall has not come to an end, but the month of Alice has. Inexplicably, my final photo is of Alice at the beginning of her story! I just go where my inspiration leads me. This Blythe doll is Fani Flamingo for “Alice” on Facebook. This picture is a chalkboard flat lay.
Now, into August we go, full of excitement for the double theme “Summertime/Back to School”! See you tomorrow!

Having a nice slice of Key Lime Pie under the tropical sun definitely enhances it's flavor.

I picked this book up while on my walk yesterday. We have an old telephone box in our village that has been repurposed as a library. I saw this classic and couldn't resist. The writing is very small so I may struggle to read it but it's proved useful already....with my other new photo board.
www.instagram.com/sweetshopnatalie/ Sweet Shop Natalie was the creator of these adorable mini cookies. I purchased a bundle of classes that included a mini flat-lay course. Look for more practice layouts coming soon.
I set out my silver tea accessories on a blue table runner for a flat lay challenge. The bird is a tea bag press, then the cream and sugar, the cup and saucer, and teapot and trivet.

After not drinking coffee for over thirty years, I recently discovered I really quite like it. So I bought a Nespresso coffee machine and love it. For those of you who don't get the title, George Clooney advertises Nespresso.
It was my book group Christmas meal last night. We all buy a book for the Secret Santa, this is my offering. I had another practise at brush stroke lettering on the tag which I thought would be nice to use as a bookmark. I hand stamped the wrapping paper as I am very aware that we need to use paper that is recyclable. I have also started using brown paper tape.
It looks like Christmas has begun so I thought it was probably okay to start with the Christmas photos! It was also a chance to show my new gold star ornament.
A bowl of strawberries and blueberries.
The round black bowl is tipped on its side, hence the strawberries are spilling out. But the overhead shot makes it look straight, giving an illusion of the strawberries climbing out!! lol
Many things have changed. People have changed.
But the lovely Autumn is still capable of arriving at its time, as every year, as every time. Welcome, we really wanted to see you here!!
