On a sunny, blue sky day, wind and wave actions distort water reflections in Vancouver harbour, below the red observation tower located outside the Lonsdale Quay Market, to create these "natural" works of art.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 5th of August is “zipper”. When I read the theme I immediately thought of this zipper above all others.
This zipper serves absolutely no purpose other than for show. It is one of two that decorate the shoulders of a military inspired shirt made by Sydney fashion designer Jacques Tchong where it looks like an epaulet.
I chose this photo of the zipper because it looks like it is smiling. I hope you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile.

This Black-throated Green Warbler was seen on a rainy, windy day at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
Two rainy days (and the third with an extremely dense fog that dwindled to extreme haze by midday) spoiled the excitement about Spring migration.
Upon returning home, the engine light came on in my car, and the resulting inspection gave the worst condition--a very expensive cost for a new engine

Flipping this reflection in a pond covered with fallen leaves not only adds layers of depth and an odd sense of movement but also an impressionistic quality to the composition.
Happy weekend and thanks for dropping by.

When it was my birthday six 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.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully embroidered olive green Victorian or early Edwardian ribbon adorned with sequin covered paisley patterns from the Edwardian era comes from my own collection of antique notions. I have accessorised it on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with a Dewhurst's Sylko Olive reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954.
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.

Attractive Grooved Bonnets (Mycena polygramma) growing from under a small log. Found in the woods Near Bath Racecourse, Lansdown, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, England
The female Chaffinch is a lot duller than the male, she has duller brown feathers with hints of green and yellow and has an olive green back and grey brown under parts and they are a similar size to the Robin. These birds enjoy eating invertebrates, but as the year goes on they will start eating seeds. The male Chaffinch starts looking for a breeding area in early February but the nest building will not begin until at least April, the nests are round in shape and are quite delicate they use moss, grass, spiders webs and they are lined with feathers, they favour nesting in trees, hedges and bushes. The female starts to lays her eggs between April to June with a clutch of four or five eggs and the young chicks fledge when they are about 13 days old.
Been sketching out the front of this for a while… mostly because build time availability is few and far between. But I think I finally got the nose right. I’m unsure how the shaping will progress back into the body just at this point but I’m happy with how the direction so far. Need to get me some 32long technic axles… otherwise this will not hold together… haha 😅
This lovely butterfly over winters in buildings or trees and it emerges in early spring and in many different areas of the countryside. The female only lays her eggs after overwintering and in batches of up to 400 at a time, the eggs are ribbed and olive green in colour and they are laid on the upper and under parts of leaves of the nettle plant and hops. The caterpillars are shiny black with six rows of barbed spikes and white dots they also have shiny black heads and they grow up to 42mm in length. After the female lays her eggs she is then looking for a mate, the males find an area that he can defend in the hope of seeing many females passing through, he is also very territorial over his area and he defends it vigorously.
As I was driving out of the Painted Hills Unit in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument that early evening, the alternating shadows and light in those undulating hills of red-maroon / yellow-olive green brought to mind folded layers of velvet fabric. Those two trees in the sunlight help add a little bit of scale and reference to the scene.

The Village Weaver forage and roost in large groups and often with other weaver bird species. The birds look for food on the ground, but also look up to search vegetation and trees. These birds nest in colonies and are very active during the breeding season. The birds fly in and out constantly and make a lot of noise, and you can find up to 100 nests in a single tree. The Village Weaver is among the more common weaver bird species and they are a stocky bird with a strong conical bill and they have reddish eyes. The breeding male has a black head which is edged with a chestnut colour, while the non-breeding males have a yellow head with olive green crown and grey upperparts and whitish under parts. The adult female has streaked olive upperparts, yellow and black wings and pale yellow under parts and young birds are very similar to the female birds.
