The back of the house is pitch black in winter as there are no street lights, so it's always handy to keep a torch around. This small LED torch is always in my pocket and has lit the way up the back path on quite a few occasions.
Macro Mondays 'EDC' (Everyday Carry) theme.
I don't take much with me on a regular basis but one thing that is always with me is this tiny led torch on my keyring. It's small but still a bright light when needed (I even used it to light Tasku for a photo on one occasion), and it's rechargeable.
The image measures a little under 2" in width.

- Kniphofia uvaria 'Traffic Lights'
- Kniphofia, also called tritoma, red hot poker, torch lily, or poker plant, is native to Africa.
Evergreen species have strap-shaped foliage up to 1.5 m (5 ft) long. All plants produce spikes of upright, brightly coloured flowers well above the foliage, in shades of red, orange and yellow, often bicoloured.
The flowers produce copious nectar while blooming and are attractive to bees. In the New World they may attract sap-suckers such as hummingbirds and New World orioles.
Kniphofia uvaria originates from the Cape Province of South Africa, and has been introduced into many parts of the world as a garden plant. It is hardy in zones 5-10.

- "Nature wins"
One of the metal garden torches did hibernate in the garden. Today I discovered it again and to my big surprise and admiration a moss colony did keep the wick 'burning' now.
I will leave it like this !
- "de Natuur wint"
Een metalen tuinfakkel overwinterde in de tuin. Vandaag vond ik hem weer terug en tot mijn grote verbazing en bewondering hield een mos kolonie de pit nu 'brandende'.
Ik laat het zo !

Along the World Showcase Lagoon are a series of torches (one per country I think). These are lit at night and when lit are a sight to see. Looking across the lagoon, you can see all the lit torches as well as each pavilion.

Just bought a new torch head. My old one was about 25 years old and worn out. It would flame-out even upright. I like the piezo igniter on this one.

I feel bad for whoever's car was stolen and torched. These kinds of things seem to be happening more often. I even found 2 other cars that had been clearly stolen and abandoned out in these rural areas. Keep an eye on your things!
This wind-up torch has been in our drawer for quite a while. It lights up during the winding process but will not charge so unless the user walks around constantly winding the torch it is useless. It has been in our drawer for over a year.
I did buy another one a while ago which now sits in my work bag.
Here I blocked out as much light as possible, set a 4 second exposure and used a burst of flash at the end with a red gel. The white balance was set to Incandescent as the LED's seem to be more daylight balanced so I could get it to show blue.
I took two exposures and blended them. The first was while I was winding it to light it up and the second was so I could erase all the distracting blur.
Warm in the sun, crisp leaves richly laid
With patterns of gold through light and shade
Carrying the fire of Autumn.
Seasons of change, brightly ablaze
A torch in the quietness of closing days
Sharing the ambience of Winter.

We've been spending time in the back yard almost every evening lately. The pup enjoys the outdoor time with the pack, and the weather the last 10 days in Seattle has been perfect every evening.
We're going to get some classier lighting for the patio, but I just admit I love tiki torches. They remind me of being young and broke and ldealistic and living for good times. But now I'm older. ;-)
