Latest visitor to the new pond, super tricky to photograph in flight so here’s one of her while laying her eggs.
This is a Pirogue, a traditional melanesian boat (dugout canoe). Photo taken in Isle of Pines in New Caledonia (South Pacific) with a Canon EOS 700D camera. Enjoy!
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts were some pretty hand dyed lace pieces from Estonia and some green ribbon embroidered with gold thread and sequins from India, which I have set up on the back terrace against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with an 1890s bobbin of Lister and Company (Lister Mills) and a Dewhurst Sylko sage green coloured cotton bobbin, which dates from between 1954 and 1958.
Lister Mills (otherwise known as Manningham Mills) was the largest silk factory in the world.[1] It is located in the Manningham district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England and was built by Samuel Cunliffe Lister to replace the original Manningham Mills which had been destroyed by fire in 1871. The mill is built in the Italianate style of Victorian architecture. On completion in 1873, Lister's was the largest textile mill in the north of England. Floor space in the mill amounts to 27 acres, and its imposing shape remains a dominant feature of the Bradford skyline. The chimney of the mill is 249 feet (76 metres) high, and can be seen from most areas of Bradford. It cost about £10,000.00 to build, and its total weight has been estimated at 8,000 long tons. Samuel Lister called it "Lister's Pride". Until the arrival of electric power in 1934, the mill was driven by steam engines. Every week the boilers consumed 1,000 tons of coal brought in on company rail wagons from the company collieries near Pontefract. Water was also vital in the process and the company had its own supply network including a large covered reservoir on-site At its height, Lister's employed 11,000 men, women and children – manufacturing high-quality textiles such as velvet and silk. It supplied 1,000 yards (910 metres) of velvet for King George V's coronation. During the Second World War Lister's produced 1,330 miles (2,140 kilometres) of real parachute silk, 284 miles (457 kilometres) of flame-proof wool, 50 miles (80 kilometres) of khaki battledress and 4,430 miles (7,130 kilometres) of parachute cord. The Listers' business decreased considerably during the 1980s. Stiff foreign competition and changing textile trends such as increased use of artificial fibres were the reasons. In 1999, the mills were closed.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

I cycled virtually to the southernmost tip of Finland on a bike called The Green Emerald. From the other side of town. And the little seaside town is called Hanko, The Pearl of the Baltic.
We discovered it only because a holiday to the Seychelles had been too hot for my wife. So the following year we decided to go somewhere cold, like Finland, the land of ice and Santa Claus. On the first year we went there it was hotter than the Seychelles had been.
But last Monday I left a sun baked Britain where it has been around 30 degrees for weeks and weeks. Not a spot of rain for ages. And I stepped off the plane in Helsinki into 14 degrees and rain all the next day. My wife, who chose to stay at home in the sweltering heat, was so envious.
La torre de O'Brien (O'Brien's Tower) es una torre circular de piedra que se encuenta aproximadamente en la mitad de los acantilados. Fue construida por Sir Cornellius O'Brien en 1835 como mirador para los cientos de turistas que acudían al lugar incluso en aquel tiempo. Desde lo alto de la atalaya se pueden ver las Aran Islands y la Bahía de Galway, y al fondo las montañas Maumturk en Connemara.
Los acantilados de Moher aparecen como los "acantilados de la locura" (Cliffs of Insanity) en la película de 1986, La princesa prometida (The Princess Bride).
Necesitarás mucha fuerza para trepar por la cuerda que cuelga de la pared de los Acantilados de la Locura. No mires nunca hacia abajo. El ruido de las olas del Canal de Florin rompiendo contra las rocas y la oscuridad pueden volverte loco. Si consigues llegar arriba prepárate para uno de los mejores duelos de esgrima
These are a lightweight and colorful pair of gypsy-style earrings that are both fun to wear and very eye-catching.
Constructed with sterling silver wire, which has been shaped, soldered, hammered and then woven together. The top quality gems used in this design are: faceted rose quartz onion briolettes, micro-faceted pink garnet rondelles, and faceted emerald rondelles for the bottom fringe.
They hang from a pair of my embellished and secure ear-wires.
All metals used are sterling and fine silver and then oxidized the natural way (with hard-boiled egg) to highlight the wire-work. I then hand polished them for a beautiful patina.
Measurement: 2 inches from the tops of ear-wires
Weight: 3 grams : light to medium weight.
Oha - To grow lush
One large, plump faceted briolette of deep green lab-created quartz suspends from textured sterling silver chain. Tiny green tourmaline rondelles connect the lobster clasp.

All emeralds show natural inclusions and fissures. Gemstone lovers who know about this gem stone refer to these inclusions as the birth marks of the gem stone. Large emeralds can be used to make excellent emerald pendants.
Emeralds, like other precious gemstones, are graded based on their color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, with prices varying widely depending on these factors.
Kaisilver experts explain that, while high-quality emerald gemstones with vivid green color and minimal inclusions can command prices over $3,000 per carat, there are more budget-friendly options that are equally beautiful. Most gem and jewelry lovers would be happy, with emerald gems in the US$ 400 to US$750 per carat price range.

Another take on the moth, trying to get a better stack of the wing. Not better in the end, just different... doesn't have any stacking artefacts though. I think I need a monopod, and a decent flash bracket cos the one I do have is too bendy.

Emeralds belong to the beryl group of minerals and always show natural inclusions and fissures. Emerald gem stone lovers refer to these inclusions as the birthmarks of the gemstone. Another interesting fact is that ALL emeralds are treated with natural oils. This has been practiced for centuries and helps increase the lustre and beauty of the gemstone.
Heart thaped emeralds are not easy to find because, cutting fancy shapes in emeralds results in a high degree of weight loss. Round, rectangular and oval emerald shapes, are easier to cut and involve lower cutting weight loss. Kaisilver can procure and custom cut natural emeralds, in the shape and size of your choice. We can ensure that you always get the best gemstone at each price point.

In Latin, the Emerald Green Arborvitae means "tree of life," due to the alleged medicinal value of its resin.
This design is a tribute to this striking tree, with the sterling silver focal piece featuring a looping tree branch and five leaves. The openwork design has been oxidized and hand polished to accentuate its beauty. A faceted 12mm genuine emerald heart briolette (May's birthstone) is suspended from the teardrop focal. An oxidized marquise cable chain unites the design, along with a lobster clasp.
Natural Emerald Square Faceted Calibrated - Precious Loose Gemstone

This 1935-1938 Parker Vacumatic fountain pen, possibly the "Slender" model, in laminated green emerald DuPont pearlescent celluloid, was a gift from Peter Beck, restored per advice by the Fountain Pen Shop's Fred P. Krinke. Stuart Hawkinson replaced the missing "jewel": the laminated celluloid cone secured by the metal "tassie ring" at the end of the barrel. Greg Minuskin re-tipped the broken nib, and completed restoration: installing a new diaphragm (part of the filling mechanism), polishing the cap and barrel, and re-plating the nib in the original two-tone pattern.
The pen is filled with Noodler's Ink Legal Lapis permanent ink, and shown here with a Seven Seas "Standard" A5 blank journal, thread-bound of Tomoe River paper, from Nanami Paper; "artisanal filler text" is by Hipster Ipsum.
Although I really enjoyed carrying the journal in a cheap plastic cover with an inserted print of one of my Sagrada Familia photos, I switched to a Gfeller Casemakers English kip leather cover. (Thanks, Mom!)

Meaning "land" or "earth," the focal charm of this necklace features a tree seedling rising from the soil. The artisan charm is highly textural and has been hand-crafted in gold vermeil using the method of Lost Wax Casting.
Suspended along side the exquisite 13x17mm charm is an 8.5mm genuine emerald (May birthstone) that has been snugly wire wrapped. Both hang from 14k gold filled chain, with a bead-flanked lobster clasp completing the design.

New macro lens! a jolly nice Canon 100mm USM job. Not the easiest subject to shoot; its clinging to the lampshade above my head so I couldn't brace well. Definitely pleased with the new lens, and a new flash too! Focus stacked from 2 frames in CombineZP.
