Absolutely Fi .. it was well over dueWho doesn't love a gob shot?
Cheers Dave.Got to be the famous gob shots for me
Cheers Alex. Harry tried to convince me that he "Pulled" the sword But I'm sure it was just left there for him to polish ;D
The hardest part was resisting temptation, till now Allan
BUGGERThat was a bit easy, I took a years membership out for the zoo here in January after letting it lapse a couple of years ago, only managed to get there once before the lockdown
At least most zoos seem to be saying membership will be extended by the length of time they are shut
Absolutely, I am. It was my favourite escape

A single trumpet from coral honeysuckle with added free-loaders
But I think Harry wins this week..
H : Whats the theme?
Me: Colour & technique is B&W
H: Oooo I can do that.
Me: not all at once you can't
H: Hold my beer!
So I sat him in front of photo shop and told him not to break anything!
(I make no claim to this image its the daft bugger in front of the screen)

hmm I see what you did there.... did Harry keep his colouring between the lines?
I like the complimentary colours in your flower but the out of focus stamen bothers me just a little. It reminds me of a triffid with tongues ready to devour the little beasties. Lots of detail!
Edit - I have to add I think it would be impossible to get the stamen in focus without stacking wizardry

Thanks Bee, The colouring wasn't bad in the end
I agree I should really have "stacked it" but TBH I was in a bit of a rush.
Thanks Jim

Every year Dom, they both get absolutely slaughtered, that is the "normal" yellow one and the red coral variety.
I would cut them both down, but :-
a) Its useful for hoverfly & Ladybird images, attracted to the aphids
b) its the only flowering plant that they touch in the garden.
So in a sense, its sacrificial.
Thanks for dropping by
Thanks HelenLoving the Harry shot

Hi Chris,
Nice set of gob shots for music and great to see Harry getting involved too.
Two good shots for Colourful. Love the macro with all the little critters in there. Lovely colour and super sharp.
Harry is definitely a winner though. He's very creative

On to week 20 "something Old"
This "half Hunter" belonged to my Granddad.
I've no idea how old it it is, though I believe he acquired it second hand from a pawn shop.
A slight sad back story, he gave it to me just before my 18th birthday, as he didn't want his other grandson getting his hands on it.
looking back he must have known he was dying, although we as a family had no idea, but a few months later he did indeed die.
A nice family keep - sake
We all know what the front of a pocket watch looks like so I went behind the scenes.
And tad sepia for the aging affect, ( it didn't work in B&W)
A close up of the mechanism
As for Harry, I thought he'd taken advantage of the newly offered freedom..
But No, he was in the garden meditating with his old friend Buddha,
Under the Yamadori ( collected from the wild) hawthorn Again no idea how old this is,
But its been in captivity nearly 10 years..
