Flying saucer?

No, the top of a roof, one version rotated and twisted. If it was really a spacecraft it might be fast in the atmosphere, but it isn’t necessarily needed in space. Why? Because there is no air so no wind resistance. You will move in a straight line unless you use a small reaction control thrusters. That’s what they had to use to direct Apollo 13 when it was drifting off course during it’s disastrous mission . Otherwise the space capsule might not have been able to get back to Earth. Also remember there’s no sound in space so no whooshing noises!

Cat sneeze!

Purr-atchoo!

Caught mid sneeze

Made me laugh

What a wheeze!

She’s only little

Sneezed three times!

Fast as a flash

From my camera

Sweet, neat, cute.

Woven sunsets. Duplicated, symmetrical, flipped and rotated in the Incollage app on my phone. It’s hard to know when to stop. But it’s oddly satisfying to play with patterns.

I have a tenancy to create a lot of these, I guess I’m “pushing the envelope” a bit, but only certain patterns with minimal details work X

Dragon/ Chamelion

I painted a dragons eye on Saturday and found someone at the craft fair I was at on Sunday was crocheting karma Chamelions. Weirdly the eyes seem to match! How odd. I’m not sure why I bought the soft toy, it might go to a neice. I was so pleased I thought I’d take a photo of them together. X

Missed them!

Bright auroras all over the UK. But they happened earlier and I seem to have missed them. When I did go out round the back of the house the sky looked normal. So I looked north at the front of my house. But I could only see a green glow through the factory lights. My Parkinsons camera shake was as bad as ever and I was shivering. So I totally apologise for this awful picture!

The clouds roll in.

As the sun set the clouds rolled in

Underlit by red sunlight

Boiling like a pot of shrimp?

But really calmly moving.

The nights are lengthening

Sunset comes earlier

Darkness encompasses us

I yearn for spring.

When the sun starts to return.

Hanging baskets quadrupled

My hanging baskets are surviving cold conditions. I thought I would play with a photo to make an interesting pattern. I didn’t realise it would end up so complex.

Sun setting, clouds arrive, leaves are still green.

Symmetrical pattern of view out my back door.

Losing photos

Posted on October 6, 2024 Posted in Memories, UncategorizedTagged Chimney, Factory, frustration, Lost, Memory, Mixed up, Optimised, Photo, Pictures, TimeLeave a comment

I decided to optimise my photos as I haven’t done it for a while. Now it looks like 50% of my photos were taken today. Plus they are all mixed up. If I go back a few hundred they were suddenly taken in March. I wish it wouldn’t do that, I’ve been searching for something for half an hour because I wanted to share it? Can I find it? No, so I just decided to post a photo of an old factory from a few months ago. And great to see an undemolished chimney.

The sky keeps shining green.

How the sky changed colour last night, apologies for the Parkinsons shake. I was lying in bed with nothing to prop my phone on. The best photo I took was the last (in the middle) about 2am?I couldn’t see much with the naked eye, but there had been a forecast of auroras on spaceweather.com so I chanced a snap or two, they started as a normal blue for a 60 second exposure, but then over the next few minutes it gradually changed to green.

Note the sun is at solar maximum where the magnetic north and south fields are increasingly entangled and cause coronal mass ejections, solar flares from the Sun’s surface. This weekends aurora were caused by an Earth facing set of flares.
