I decided to start today earning some 'Brownie points' as I call them, for when I want to get away with something. That something happens to be a nine day trip to Iceland leaving my wife at home. So on my list this morning amongst other things were, clean the cooker, walk the dog, wash the kitchen and utility floor and hoover up around the place.

 

Despite being easily distracted, and finding my way to do other more pleasant jobs for myself that weren't on my wife's list, I found myself in the front hallway with a 'need to tidy up' mentality. My daughter had left some of her junk and gone off to Florida and I was just tidying her stuff up when I noticed a small object on the carpet which I was going to hoover as soon as I stopped being distracted.

 

Bending down to pick it up I raised the curious object to my eyes and was pretty amazed to see that the tiny things were actually a pair of scissors. And that is them balanced on the end of my finger. They are that small!

 

Well, one of the things on my mind was "Macro Mondays" theme of "Cutter". Until that moment I was going to do something with some large serrated kitchen scissors but suddenly....!!!! Well they must have dropped out of my daughter's dolls house stuff. Rarely have I been more pleased to be told to do some domestic chores, when this was the prize!

 

Right! Back to the house work. Need alot more points.

 

(PS. The scissors are 15mm long)

From the Archives. Spring in Eastern Washington State, laying on the frozen ground as the sun crests the horizon. This image is made up of about twenty Canon 5d frames, all carefully placed togeather into one composition which resembels but does not capture the actual plant. Kind of like painting in a way.

Always start with the Yellow!

Female belted kingfisher. We took a Saturday afternoon walk at the riparian preserve and my wife points to this splash of white way across the pond and said, "is that a kingfisher?" Sure enough, at the very edge of my lens's reach and in a tangle of twigs. I've asked my wife to please spot birds closer and with a clean backdrop. That's not too much to ask, is it? 😉 (In case you didn't recognize it, I'm joking about the spousal request)

3 years ago i was invited to participate in a really interesting project, a game to give inspiration and motivation, a game to helps people to get insights of their lives. Efrat and Yaron, two lovely people based in Israel, asked the permission of use of one of my photographs. Of course I said yes, and I'm proud to be part of this creative and unique project. I have just received one of these exquisite designed and packaged pieces, and i have to say the game came out really amazing.

Teasel:

The beginning of the flower bud. Seems like the plant is determined to protect the growing flower head. With all of the prickly and spike points light is collected to draw attention to various beauties of its form. I just love all of the growing stages of this plant.

Starlings must have plenty of frequent flyer points.

 

I just managed to catch the bird in the background as it was lined up with the pointing man. This artwork is Ronnie van Hout’s Comin’ Down. The title may refer to the fact that around 60% or more of the buildings in Christchurch City will be Comin’ Down.
