Tiddles has finally started curling up on my lap. I never dreamed she would ever be brave enough to do that!
A ray of sunshine, the Ranunculus flower, a.k.a buttercup, is a mostly perennial flowering plant whose shiny and cup-like shape gave rise, supposedly, to its nickname buttercup. A buttercup’s sparkling light also needs the sun to be high in the sky, so May is the best time of year for the flowers.
I remember as a child being told that if you hold a fresh buttercup flower under one’s chin and if a yellow reflection from the flower's shiny petals can be seen under the chin, the person is said to "like butter". This custom is still taught to young children and shows how buttercup petals reflect light.

This is from Friday.
I layed in the snakey grass even though I didn't want to lol.
Todays the last day of Spring break. :( Back to real life tomorrow.
Only about a month until I get a Summer break, I can make it!
Light reflects on the water behind this fishing net found on a pier in Alabama. I chose this for Depth of Field week because of its extreme bokeh.
If you're around my age you may remember the song 'San Francisco', which was written by John Phillips (of the Mamas and Papas) and sung by Scott McKenzie. Apologies if you now find yourself singing it.
"If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there..."
Oh dear, did I just make it worse? Oops. :)

Still life with spring blossom, coffee cup and home-made rain. The shot is heavily influenced by the work of Bangladeshi photographer Ashraful Arefin- who can be found here on Flickr. Of course, it's not a patch on anything he does...but I keep learning.
Though I appreciate the beauty of gardens my real love is the wild profusion you find in nature. I have been known to even let "weeds" grow because I like them.
A single bloom from a bouquet given to me by a friend.
Table top photography is great when you can't go far.
Glad to say I'm making steady progress since the surgery last week.
One a Week - Week 43
I hope you had great snow time. We came back and i have not notice much in London. But the Continent seems to be proper white. Wish you great short run before Xmas!
Another unbearable day. This time, with more humidity. At home, we have one window air conditioner that barely keeps the temperature below 90 on days like today. I was waiting for a package*. But it arrived, and now I'm out of my house and in the air conditioned comfort of a starbucks. I know... not the best for the world, but all my friendly local coffee shops don't have real air conditioning, and it got up to 101 degrees today.
*on the package - i bought a new camera/laptop bag! It holds everything. I'm trying it out for a few days to see if carrying my macbook plus my dslr plus everything else I need means I come home with a broken back. But, so far, so good. This is going to make traveling so much easier - one bag w/ camera and laptop, one carry-on suitcase! The genius of it... It's a Tenba messenger bag. Anyone have experience with one?
