365:43 The Gratuitous Cat

It was always going to happen – the day when I could not come up with a shot and had to shoot the cat instead. I found little interesting related to 43 and so I looked at “This Day”. My choice was to be a reference to the theft of Munch’s The Scream. Mr L …

I know my onions

I could not resist these onions when I saw them in the shop the other day. It’s French Onion Soup for lunch today. I wish that I had checked my images before starting cooking, though. I shall have to try an onion shot again in the future and attempt to improve on the appearance of …

Kettletoft Harbour

An unremarkable image for today’s blip. Why? Today is all but wind-free. Almost dry too. In fact, the sun is out on occasion. Sadly when I had time to go out and experiment with my old and heavy 100-300mm lens on the new tripod, the sun went awol and it was spotting with rain. The …

365:38 Red and Green should n’eer be seen

I always thought the saying that red and green should not be seen without a colour inbetween was plain barmy. If it makes sense for Mother Nature, it must make good dress sense too? Anyroadup – 38 is a number sometimes used in colour blindness tests for red/green colour blindness. It surprised me, and seems …

Bread and Dip

Lunch comes to my Blip rescue once again. I made these garlic and herb baguettes to mop up the oil that was dressing our lunchtime ravioli today. There was loads of bread, and precious little oil. I really must get myself into town soon.
