I'm really enjoying this process. This is the handle hinge of a blue transparent plastic bucket (i.e. the entire bucket is made from blue transparent plastic, including the handle). I used lights inside and outside the bucket, to create shadows, etc. HMM 😀

In June 1991 I went to Tokyo, to stay with a friend who worked at the New Zealand Embassy there. By day she went to work, while I tripped about on my own. On one of the days I took a local tour that included a visit to the Tokyo Tower. As a memento, everyone on the tour was given a gold filigree bookmark with the tower featuring on it. Mine got put into a big photo album of my photos from the trip and has sat there ever since, until I brought it out to take this photo. At 332.9 metres tall, the Tokyo Tower is the second tallest structure in the country. Its design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Built in 1958, it is painted every 5 years and is brightly coloured due to international air safety regulations. More than 150 million people have been up the tower since it was opened to the public. HMM 😍
This is the cutest wee Japanese bell with such a clear little 'ting'. I have had it for many years. It hangs in a doorway in our house and I often 'ting it' as I walk into the room.
Wonderful nature at Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire, in the good care of The Woodland Trust. I visited primarily for the English Bluebells.

An experiment on waterproof feathers! Sad colours I know, but I was more interested in getting the detail and DOF right, than I was in looking for a brightly coloured feather!
-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as my personal favorite.

These Allium Siculums are beginning to unfurl in my garden. They need a thin garden cane to help support them at this stage.
Nectaroscordum (Allium).
Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

Familia: Hesperiidae
Orden: Lepidoptera

Bullrush (Scirpoides Holoschoenus) Somewhat overlooked. When you stop and take a closer look and see the explosion of seeds bursting out with a gentle breeze detaching a few. Then that's the new season emerging right there :)
Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve here in Nottinghamshire.

The minimum distance I can set my Olympus Tough TG6 camera, up to my photo subject, is 15mm. If I set the camera any closer than that, the picture becomes a blur.
The eyes of an owl are not true “eyeballs.” Their tube-shaped eyes are completely immobile, providing binocular vision which fully focuses on their prey and boosts depth perception. Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees and tip their heads up and down 90 degrees. A group of owls is called a parliament.

This figurine was given to my husband's mother, by his father, on their very first date in the early 1930's. They were at a fun fair in Southampton (England) and his dad won it at a ball-throwing stall. Originally it had little lights inside the head, that made the eyes glow, but over the years the lights got lost. My husband (we live in New Zealand) was recently sent the figurine by his daughter in England, who found it in a family storage facility. Because my husband remembered it with eyes that lit up, he has made a tiny LED light arrangement that fits inside the body and head, powered by batteries.
A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices.
Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory.
Mine is a Reef Knot, also known as square knot or hercules knot, being an ancient and simple binding knot used to secure a rope or line around an object.
What a fun thing to do. I fan-folded a piece of foil, punched a few holes in it, crinkled it then smoothed it out a little, pointed a red, a green and a blue light at it, pushed the camera right up close and 'clicked'. What a result.
From my garden, Ferns to Flickr. They are steadily unfolding and now's the perfect time to get some macro shots.
Fern: Polypodiopsida, Polypodiophyta
