My partner's mum, Iris Morgan, sadly died recently, aged 90. This still life features one of her cups and saucers. The Iris flower symbolises knowledge and wisdom. She was a wise woman, as is her daughter who I am lucky to live with.
Lavender is my favorite color in the mums. A beautiful little bloom amongst many other tiny little blooms. The diameter of this flower is less than an inch.

It was a rainy day, was so miserable! but then in the evening the sun broke out from the clouds and came flooding into my room. I could see how the light looked from the reflection in my wardrobe mirrors and had to do a quick shot.
There was a real pea souper in Bristol this morning but I've pulled my back, so wasn't heading off to the muddy woodland. Frustrating. Instead I had to settle for the droplets that the fog left on our garden plants once it lifted.

Their words, not mine! I was just snapping away; playing
second fiddle, as the saying goes. My finger was acclaimed
Best Prop in a 'supporting' role.
The picture has crucial notes! If they are not where they should be when you open the page, going to lightbox and back again or changing the window size and back again should do the trick. It's simply a Flickr quirk. No comment! Even if they are where they should be, you can still try lightbox, it's great! - Well, bigger anyway!
Pour vous aider à mieux comprendre ces 'crucial notes' :
- the rip-off / the crook = l'arnaqueur / l'escroc
- on the fiddle = qui joue le violon / qui triche
- to play second fiddle = jouer un rôle secondaire
- supporting = qui soutient
- supporting' role = rôle secondaire
- (stage) prop = accessoire (de théâtre)
- wouldn't go amiss = ne ferait pas de mal
You could be forgiven for thinking that the look-a-like trio are in fact identical triplets, but you'd be quite wrong! The first two are identical twins but the third, hoping to be a clown, turned out to be a clone!
A simple spelling mistake in his DNA! Could happen to anyone!
My gear! (new tab) was resting on my left hand, the "lens" only a few millimetres away from the band. I had a ringside seat, so to speak. This setup always provides an extremely shallow depth of field and heaps and heaps of smooth bokeh.Shh!!! Mum's the word!
* Alternative spelling for our little friends, The Beetles, of course!
Best viewed in lightbox and from a distance. Sit back, as though you were in the audience. ...
Relax and let the music in.

I think these are three different orchids; one is probably common spotted (taken in July at Chedworth Roman Villa, Cotswolds)
Walking around the park with manual focus lenses, catching the best possible bokeh.
Taken with an old Pentax K-5 digital camera and a lot older smc Pentax-A 50mm F1.7 lens.
