Beautiful.

Looks like the letterbox predictor got it right then....

Pictures of the infamous 拆/chāi character, that appears ominously on buildings slated for demolition. Ominously, because sometimes there can be a long, long time between appearance of the 拆 and demolition, even years. It includes pictures of signs saying "拆哪(chāi nǎ, demolish where)？China" Here, "Chai…

Looks very ‘Cling-on’, don’t ya think?…
or some other Ivy League language…

Heisenberg! Full ahead!
Offer Ron,

it may well be an Amionornot

Ha!

Perhaps this is the corresponding evolutionary diagram? With a special offer for Ron?

Nice, Leggs…

Chair Evolution*
Invertebrate and Vertebrate

Note how the invertebrate still retains
the basic cell structure with four pseudopods
forming an exoskeleton and legs.

While the more advanced and ambitious
invertebrate has developed arms and ribs,
to relieve the stresses of lateral forces,

this one too.... : )

This will not stand!

Happy long weekend.

A better still life: graft made to rescue a chrysalis that formed the washing line.

a desert rose rises,
the hand of clod,
roots lit briefly
sun-limned limbics
twixt eave and dusk's
deep promise of dawn

grow you good thing!

posted that apocalypse collage before in the Coast to coast thread, apologies…

All is forgiven. Not that we minded anyway. :-)

Lovely and moody that pic chris!

Still life. Still posing.

Altar for the little people?

with internal lighting!

A wee one set this up too.....

And this second one was fun... Shot through a gap in another tower, but so close that all the light from the flash shot straight back into the lens, then tweaked just a lot to find the target....

Cafe setting and a few homely bits

A little closer.

…some life that stayed extremely still…

...and sensibly far from shore.

(those tadpoles that survived long enough to become frogs had the smarts to hide among reeds fenced off from people, while others were caught and put in reused drink bottles. The dragonflies…

especially the projector.

Glad you like it Geoff. It was a lot of fun taking that shot. The most amazing thing is I haven't used the projector for 15 years, and I just plugged it in, and the bulb was fine, the motor whirred happily, and it…

…depends how you couch it though!

I love that shot!

And somebody seems to think there might still be life in this.

A small seahorse (size of a finger) found on Ohope beach and brought to me for framing.
But first I had to play with it...

A scan using my transparency scanner

detail isn't bad, scanners make good cameras if you are prepared to play with settings

Lovely red flower – perseverance pays off !

This was 'You come to me with your hair curled tight'. :-)

My wee one got a wee theatre the other day, and I thought it'd be perfect for just this kind of thing. Maybe between us we could build a little town.

I take a few photos of smallish plants for one reason or another. Just an ageing handheld point'n'shoot – tend to leave it in manual mode. I understand that using a…

Thanks all.
blows me away!
Especially glad you like this one. This is where the 'don't burn your house down' comes from. The arty red swirls on the right are created by my holding burning paper under the light beam, to…
