Off centre adds interest
Makes you look
At a semi alien bush
Green, blue, happily
Interesting play
With branches displayed
In rhythmic pattern.
Symmetrical versus Asymmetry.

Scaredy cat
I found this photo of a tin cat knocking about in my Facebook memories recently. I think you were meant to put a tea light in it? I had it for a few years but I think it eventually rusted through. I guess a bird could nest in it although I never saw any inside it. A cat with a bird in its mouth isn’t a good idea anyway. I love it’s shocked or scared expression.
Red sky at night
Now the neighbours hedge has been cut back I can see the sky better. Tonight it was overcast grey but then it glowed orange red. I took a few pictures but they didn’t show the colour I could see so I have adjusted the hue and saturation on the phone to see if I could match them, this is the best I could do.
2 cats
Last night two of my cats
Sat on the arms of my chair
Like little lions
What did I do?
Move to take a photo
Then one curled up
And went to sleep!
Textured cat
I do like adding texture to photos, in this case I used an app called photodirector. There are lots of options in it, but I tend to use the same tools each time. It has the effect of just ruffling the surface rather than adding some mad AI effects which you have to pay a premium for anyway. This was my lost cat, but he came back!
Sunlight
Sunlight through a cutlery container. I duplicated it to make it look like a spotty butterfly. It’s interesting to find abstract images from ordinary household objects.
Interesting?
Trying to make my cold drink cool?
Playing with position, am I a fool…
Place the camera low and see
What’s in the background
Line up the straw
Straight with the door
Blue white view
And green too
Outside the heat
Inside I’m seat-ed
In a cool suite
With a cold, chocolate, sweet
Drinking icy views in.
Slight green tinge?
I was looking outside tonight as I’d got the door open to cool down. I thought the sky looked a bit strange so I set my phone camera to ‘night’ which stacks a series of images over 60 seconds. I saw the photo had a slight green tinge so I took another shot, this time it was normal blue. There is a chance of auroras again because there has been corona activity on the sun.
Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, I shake too much so I get bad camera shake!
Odd bedfellows
Cat jelly mould, dinosaur night lite. The dinosaur dropped on the floor and split. Unfortunately it had to go because I couldn’t glue it back together.
I’ve used the jelly mould to make a few jellies, but it was hard to use because it doesn’t like to stay upside down without propping up. It hangs on the side of the fridge now.
I just think it made an interesting photo. And although they are strange bedfellows they are both plastic and animal shaped. So I guess they go together.
Speckly clouds
Clouds about 9pm 17.7.24 in Stoke on Trent, England.
Sun was starting to set and the light made the clouds sparkle. I don’t know what type of clouds they are, but I liked the view.
