Cor, 85 is a difficult number to do. I looked to events in history and found that in 1484, William Caxton printed his translation of Aesop’s Fables. I set up ready to photograph my Folio edition, and failed to find it. I probably never owned it. It’s entirely a figment of my imagination, I suppose. …

The Fuzzies
We have been outside having another attempt at capturing an Iridium flare. We did it! I could have blipped it but it’s fairly boring. The cats took advantage of our temporary absence and set up home in the little dark tent that I made for [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/4152458]my (nybblets) Tardis blip[/url] earlier today. Teddy looks a little …
365:84 A Loop in Time
Today is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien_Reading_Day]Tolkein Reading Day[/url]. It would appear that I have rid myself of my copies of LOTR and The Hobbit, so no pics of them appearing today. Today is also the anniversary of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Troughton]Patrick Troughton[/url]’s birth. He was of course the 2nd Doctor Who. I am not cheating – this is not the same …
Ticka-ticka Timex
This week’s challenge assignment is Time. I wanted to do Time in a Bottle but couldn’t find a watch small enough, or perhaps a bottle neck wide enough. The backup plan was to catch the movement of a Seconds sweep hand. Unfortunately my second hand jumps rather than sweeps.

Sploshin’ Aboot
Further water splash activity today. This is not the best of the shots, I don’t think, but I love it because of the ghost that I captured…
365:82
82 is the Atomic Number for Lead. Pb. Plumbum. I often use the online handle of Plumbum. If I could have found a plum bob, I’d have taken a shot of that. I don’t do in front of the lens, only behind it. I was officially declared “hopelessly unphotogenic” at a formative age. I’d relate …
365:81 Water
Today is World Water Day and this is my first ever water drop photograph. Well, when I say “first”, we have taken a couple of dozen so far in testing and setting up. This is the first one good enough to share. We hope for better results over the course of the weekend. We are …
On the rails
I scraped the bottom of the coffers this week and treated myself to a focus rail. Not sure why, working with this for Macro photography and combining dozens or more exposures for one finished image… it’s going to require more patience and concentration than I have ever been able to exhibit in my entire life. …
365:80 BST just around the corner
I already did this once today – where did my entry go? Let me see… I said something about it being Worldwide Poetry Day or something and about how I’d looked for a poet who had been born or died on this date and came up with 7 candidates. I thought the one I picked …
