Almost time to pack it in

I have spent most of my day in looking out everything that I need to take to our spinning event tomorrow. We are hosting a visit from the West Mainland Spin group over on the big island. 11 or so spinners are visiting! When I wasn’t stacking this lot ready for putting into the Land …

Gothic

In town at the dentist today. This building is council offices and faces the dentist. The trees are full of rooks’s nests. I found the whole thing a little gothic.

Sweethearts

Some days you just have to point your lens at any old thing and then move on. Today is one of those days. Tomorrow may be one of those days too.

Garden Bulbs

Out on the garden today on a backyard safari looking for [i]Rust[/i], which was this week’s challenge assignment. Rust I found a-plenty but I think this was my favourite shot of the day: two lightbulbs in the remnants of a bonfire

A desire, quenched

Sitting in the queue for the ferry home yesterday, I was hit by an unusual desire. I said to [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/SpinningGill]Life on the 59th Parallel[/url] that I really fancied a Dandelion & Burdock. I was not expecting to get one so soon, but I found this at the Butcher’s Shop this morning. I shall savour it …

Hazard

So, how many of you blippers have a road sign like this outside your local supermarket?

Lady Kirk HDR

I went out today with Life on the 59th Parallel, to play cameras in the Lady Kirkyard. I was bracketing exposures because I had the polarising filter on and it has caught me out many a time… So, there I was with multiple exposures of everything. I dusted off the HDR merging software. This is …

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 …

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…
