The rule is, if you watch any TV that's not at a normal "wind-down" time, you have to be off your ass and moving.
Looks like I'm personally assembling the dossier he'll take to his future shrink.

Someone told me I should try taking pictures of my backyard - which is extraordinarily plain, lifeless, and small - and see what interesting things I could make out of it.
It was fun.

Sometimes it's the smallest details that make you happy. Small details that lift up your heart. If you have ever been in love or loved or experienced your dreams come true, you know what I mean.
It is the small touches, kisses, breezes, smells, words, sounds and sights that come to mind first without trying.
This is my ode to small things.
I had a fabulous day with the ones I love and this small thing was part of it.
Garden snail (Cornu aspersum). Used to be Helix aspersa, but some classification pen-pusher got bored :-)
How does a snail shell look like when you light the inside with a small flashlight?
i tried it out and here's the result!

Since taking a class in macro offered by Kathy Eyster at the Kanuga Photography Retreat several years ago, I've wanted a light table. That desire's been on my mind rather frequently of late.
While on my walk early this morning the thought crossed my mind that my deck has a glass top. Two flashlights and a piece of copy paper later I was in business. I need to perfect my system, but I derived real pleasure playing with this snail shell (about an inch long) Tal found over the weekend while workiing in a flower bed.
Arranged only three weeks ago, the pretty riverside wild flowers and berries were softly colouring the last days of summer in the warmth of central France.There's a distinctly Autumnal feel this morning on the South Coast here in U.K. - this seems a world away now.
Last night (Tuesday 9th June) BBC TV's "The ONE show" had a 5minute insert on this rare Bee filmed @ same site as my photo on the Cerne Abbas Giant hill in Dorset. Possibly even the same nest, as I said on my June 2nd post, I was shown the nest by 2 naturalists who I believe had been there 2 days filming/photographing the complete cycle of the nest building. In the film available on BBC 1 (One) I-player (Tuesday 9th June 8pmGMT not 7pmBST as shown on TV) for a month I believe. A full explanation of the stages the Bee does to make it's nest in the snail shell & cover it up with thatch. Amazing to watch & far better than my little photo, see it if you can. Film starts 19 minutes into programme & lasts about 5 minutes
