Came across this ant dragging a dead beetle across the pavement back to its colony. There’s something so appealing about this.
Cellpic Sunday, #CloseUp on our new palms, 10 July 2022
We went to the local garden centre about a month ago and brought back some little palms. After repotting and allowing them time to adjust it looks as though one of them is finally starting to flourish. I don’t normally take part in these online ‘challenges’, not because I don’t want to but mostly becauseContinue reading “Cellpic Sunday, #CloseUp on our new palms, 10 July 2022”

After a test run yesterday it was time to take the Olympus Pen E-PL1 and the Lomography Experimental Lens Kit to Aveiro. My experiment was short-lived. After four or five nice photos, just enough to whet my appetite, the camera died. Thankfully it was just the battery and I’m all charged up for a possibleContinue reading “Lo-Fi: Taking the broken mirrorless camera and the experimental lens kit to Aveiro, 18 June 2022”
