Photographed while guiding/exploring with Teruhide-san and three Vancouver friends. To-ji, Minami-ku, Kyoto. October 21, 2019.
The Helenium in my garden has been flowering for a while now, but new flowers are still appearing. This one may be small, but it still manages to stand out from the crowd. I confess, I'm a bit besotted with these flowers. :)
the world is a complicated and imperfect place. it is made of hard edges and compromises. but for a moment, a different set of rules applies. a perfect sphere is created from nothing but soap and air. it is a brief, impossible object, and its only purpose is to exist beautifully before it disappears. the child understands this. it is the first and most important lesson in physics. and in joy.
Having suddenly a wealth of images of rubber ducks both big and very small this will be the first image in a small series.
Again it´s Friday (TGIF) and i wish all my Flickr Friends an happy fenced Friday :)

Day 5 - October 2024: A month in 31 pictures
I hadn't managed to get a photo for today but these ceramic pumpkins came to the rescue for a last minute low key shot.

I will be back tomorrow to catch up.
Another shot from my archives.
A light snow had fallen overnight and started to melt quickly in the morning sunlight, requiring me to work fast. Crawling around on the ground among the grasses, looking for the right light and backlit water droplets is more like a spray and pray operation than coming up with a methodically thought-out composition. To produce this kind of effect, the lens needs to be wide open, at f1.4 in this case, but the shallow depth of field that goes along with that makes it difficult to come up with something sharp and in focus.
But, as you can see, I had some success.

I couldn't resist focusing on my new watercolor brushes, they are perfect. It is a pleasure to paint with them because they control the release of water and paints very well.
A windmill, now a private residence, in Norfolk, with the harvest just about ready to be taken in. Shallow depth of field gives a slightly different view of the subject.

The beautiful drops of rain cling to the window and shows off what looks like we're in the middle of a champagne flute.

#Wrinkled
My subject for "Wrinkled" is crinkled, creased, and folded: Bouillon crinkle wire used in jewellery making, (Christmas) decorating, DIY projects, and floristry. I bought it for only one use: photography. I've also already photographed it before for another MM theme, "Wire", back in October 2019 (please see the first comment).
Since I had photographed the bouillon wire against a black background last time, I wanted something lighter and more colourful for my photo for "Wrinkled". Once again, I used the light blue glitter foam sheet (dull side up) as background, and for extra colour, I placed a green glass bottle in front of one of my go-to LED lamps (from the right), and equipped the left LED lamp with the semi-translucent yellow bottle cap for the Rumpelstiltskin "turn silver into gold" trick. The other light source was the natural light LED photo lamp from above and photographed the wire with the Laowa Ultra macro lens to get as close as possible, both for extra magnification and a very shallow depth of field.
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

Wild flowers (a/k/a "weeds") are important opportunistic adapters. This burst of brilliant yellow Wormseed Wallflowers came up on a nearby street after new fencing was installed along a property line. The soil was disturbed and the Wallflower seeds which, most likely, had been buried in the weed seed bed waiting for an opportunity to germinate got their chance!
Whether we like them or not, wild flowers/weeds fulfill a purpose in the landscape - in this case covering leftover construction bare ground which would otherwise wash away with Spring rain.

Flowers everywhere now, but trees are still leading the way. This is a huge old azalea at the edge of the woods. We might not need flowers for sustenance in the same way that our pollinator friends do. But they do sustain us. 😊
