"Oh flowers, how lovely!" was my dear wife's response as I returned from a quick shopping trip. She didn't even ask what I'd done. Of course what I'd actually done was to grab a subject for this week's FF homework. It didn't take long for her to work that out. The vase is an art deco design by the well known 1920s-1930s British ceramicist Charlotte Rhead.
The photo was taken as shown using an old filter, which does not fit my current lens, smeared with Vaseline and balanced precariously on the front of it while I held a reflector to bounce some windowlight back onto the flowers. Thank goodness for delayed shutter release. Processing was light (by my standards anyway) with some colours boosted and texture and a small vignette added.
Present to myself, picked up while browsing the pop-up music stall that's often on Middle Meadow Walk. Frankly you've got me a Thelonius Monk, but Monk with John Coltrane? Oh yes, having that. Exra little bonus when I got home and went to put it on the turntable, to discover the actual record was not only pressed in coloured vinyl but translucent too, so I improvised this quick shot of it with a small light behind the record.

An oddly distorted view of my daughter’s car as seen through a glass window globe hanging in the window, at my sister’s house.
"There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together."

A morning trip around the yard with my macro lens, before I go play golf. :)

My Venus Flytrap just had some newborn leaves... ready for some flies...
Unfortunately we don't have any around.
Was too busy enjoying the good weather to think about Macro Monday this week so here's an older shot.
Many thanks for all your comments and favourites.
Explored 5th October 2026, position 92.
With its lines, angles and translucent, coloured panels, the exterior of the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza Hotel (at the south end of Westminster Bridge, London) immediately brings to mind the work of Piet Mondrian. It’s beautifully designed and an excellent shooting opportunity.

Raindrops cling to recently opened almond blossoms in the early morning. Dozens of flower buds will be opening within a few days.
Early EPROM's from the 70s sometimes used translucent windows instead of the more common transparrent windows. They were still made of the same Quartz material to pass the UV C that would erase the chips.
