Fab Felt - amazing hues and woolly texture .....

I reckon this is super cool - I just love the colours and textures of this felted scarf I spotted lurking around in the corner of the room.    Get up close to get those textures and shades and stay away from those shots across the other side of the room :)  She doesn't even know its vanished yet and trust me, it will appear again  - maybe I'll even send her a link :)

It's all flown out the window .....

I was pretty excited when I spotted the photo opportunity here and you can see I was so excited all the advice flew out the window as I grabbed the camera and went for it.  You can see that you need to take some small part of your brain with you when you start learning digital photography and remember that all important thing - LIGHT !  Or in the case of these two photos the uneven light and shadow over part of the artworks.

I did, remember what I was told ( more like drilled into me!) that I needed to switch off my flash to photograph artwork or I'd get a big white circle where the flash shone on the artwork so I did get something right but it's a pity I didn't think of the shadow across the corner of each piece.
My Mantra  is ....................practice, practice, practice 

Dishwashing is even fun with a camera ....

Nigella - a Blue Orpington Hen

Think this is just a pic of a hen ?  NO  - wrong !  This is Miss Primadonna, alias Queen of the Deck -  photo of our favorite hen, Nigella, a Blue Orpington, almost a mass of feathers and lucky to catch her still as she hardly stops.  Too busy after grubs, worm, snails and anything edible. 

Emma Peel - Secret Sleuth Strikes Again

Cuter than cute and ten times as mischievous, Emma Peel will outwit the smartest human ! She is a White Leghorn who thinks faster and quicker than a human and sure runs faster than us too. - one very smart hen and you need to be smarter to get a great shot of any fast moving animal. 

Pet shots are fun.  They are also very instructive and you will learn very fast. 

Chickens don't mess about posing and looking cute for too long - you need a quick shutter action. 

 I have quite a few shots of their tail feathers where they have long gone :)  I also have click quite a few shots that show a blur and they have become bored, realized that no food is forthcoming and they've shaken their feathers at me and departed sharp quick.

Yummy, scrummy wool fleece

Spotted these bits of fleece poking out of  the wool basket today :)  apparently they are called "rolags" and are bits of fleece all prepared ready for spinning .... well, great, but to me they are fab photographic material :)  Don't you think the colors look amazing, each strand of the fleece seems to stand out individually so  I'm pretty pleased with the whole effect.

Poor wee dead shrivelled thing ........

See what I found in the fridge ?  Don't you reckon it looks like some poor dead animal ?
Well, poor dead something anyway .....
I felt quite sad when I hauled it out of the fridge - was ready to chuck it when it suddenly hit me that it'd make a good photo - and that was after I whined about wasting that ginger root too ....
