The harvest this year has been great! The apples are bigger than ever!

 

These Middie Blythe dolls are Smiley Waffle and Nellie Nibbles, posing in a flat lay for 30 Days of Apples in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.

Strawberries, raspberries, and assorted red fruit in the middle...

It feels really good to be picking up my camera again and thinking about what to photograph.

My husband was away for a couple of weeks helping our eldest son rip out his old bathroom and prepping for the new one. I asked him to bring home some of the old floorboards...well, you can't miss an opportunity for a nice shabby backdrop, can you? The floorboards are actually grey but I used a film filter in processing and they came out this gorgeous turquoise colour that I have been wanting to achieve for ages. Teamed with my, now ancient, first ever pair of hairdressing scissors, wooden heart and vintage lace along with my bargain tulips that are also pretty shabby...and will get shabbier over the next few days.

 

I will try to get round to some commenting now I'm feeling a little better after the horrible virus I've had for the last six weeks or so.

 

Happy Sliders Sunday...and Happy Mother's Day to all you Mums out there.

Trying to manifest Spring by gathering a few items. Not sure it's going to calm down the wind or increase the temperature... but what if it does? No harm.

Yum yum yum!

Observed each year on August 2, it is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. This food holiday is one that will refresh each one of us on a warm summer day with a delicious frozen ice cream sandwich.

The original ice cream sandwich sold for a penny in 1900 from a pushcart in the Bowery neighborhood of New York. The vendor, who was never identified in the article printed in papers across the nation, sandwiched the ice cream between milk biscuits. Soon, push carts popped up around the city and country during the summer months selling the portable treats.

The modern version of the ice cream sandwich was invented by Jerry Newberg in 1945 when he was selling ice cream at Forbes Field. There are pictures from the early 1900s, “On the beach, Atlantic City”, that show Ice Cream Sandwiches were popular and sold for 1 cent each.

There are alternatives to the classic ice cream sandwich using chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies or a rice crispy wafer in place of the original chocolate one.

Ice cream sandwiches are known around the world by a variety of names including the Monaco Bar, Giant Sandwich, Maxibon, Cream Between, Vanilla Slice and many more.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Enjoy an ice cream sandwich today! Post on social media using #IceCreamSandwichDay.

Quick photo tonight but edited a bit in the end

still life -flat lay--pearls and letter

Flatlay still life with shells, stones and a piece of rusty metal (used to create the frame) found on beaches on the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales. The text is from a medieval Welsh manuscript called the Prediau.

I wanted this photo to be so much more than this, but this ended up being supper due to eating a late lunch. And they’re turkey meatballs, so I like to think they’re healthier ;)

This is the NiSi S5 filter holder for filters of 150mm. It is the one I need to place filters in front of my ultra-wide angle, tilt-shift 19mm Nikkor lens (which I also used to take this photo). In addition, you need to buy a special attachment piece that is specially designed to fit onto the lens and it bulbous front element.

 

The filters are enormous and very costly, but the only solution when you need to use, say, a polarizer or and ND filter on that lens.

 

For all my other lenses, I use a V6 filter holder which holds 100mm filters —more manageable!

The longer you can hold your breath, the more fun you will have in the sport of free diving. Ellie is one of the amazing few who can hold her breath for four minutes!

I really tried to think outshide the box for this assignment and came up with this. I would appreciate any cc/feedback. This is my first flat lay.

So much fun was had with these beautiful Acer leaves from Sheffield Park & Garden

Shells I have acquired over the years. I think I got the tiger shell from Fiji.

Those Valentine's flowers a week later... a different kind of beauty.
