I saw these roots and first thought was brain...neurons....then was entangled thoughts...streams of diversions...fresh from garden

I used my softbox again today, this time with Cleo. It wasn't easy to convince Cleo to pose exactly where I wanted her to in order to make the best of my additional light source. Cleo definitely had other ideas and the only reason why she finally agreed was the good old treats bag which I waved over my head when I took this shot. There are moments when I'm glad that I don't know what they are thinking .....
As though the baby's thoughts are illustrated on the wall. I didn't notice that the baby was wearing sunglasses until I looked at the photo at home.

Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 17529
One of Marwell's Amur Leopards. Photographing these is challenging - it's through either dirty glass or wire fencing.

A child, unconcerned, lost in thought before the great mother.
In so many ways the child is me. And in so many ways, I am lost.

The most beautiful music in the world is your own heartbeat, it assures you that you will survive even when the whole world leaves you alone.
La più bella musica del mondo è quella dei battiti del tuo cuore stesso, ti dà la certezza di sopravvivere anche quando tutto il mondo ti lascia da solo.
I made the most of the sun and the last of the bluebells with help from my eldest daughter this evening.
I thought it only fitting to do a shot with my Yankees cap in the week that the old Yankee Stadium closes its doors. Too bad they couldn't give it a really good send off and make the play-offs, but the season ended quite well for them anyway...
Actually, compared to most sports, I know very little about baseball. But there you go ;-)
Floyd wanted to say hi on this shot too, but he wouldn't turn around. So he's actually mooning you all. Sorry about that.
Lighting: 580EXII key light (1/4 power) above and to right of camera on tripod (the camera hanging on the leg of the tripod with the Gorillapod). 430EX (ful power) on a tripod directly behind me (for that mild halo effect - which hasn't worked as well as I'd hoped...). Flashes fired with eBay radio triggers.
