Fractured fruit

Split Cherry.  Canon S120

1st July 2016

We have had a few doses of heavy rain recently; the outcome has been that many of the cherries have burst and split :)

They still have a while to go to ripen; the birds have trashed them again this year already, so a harvest is not looking promising.

Lizzy's boyfriend, Jake, has been sanding the kitchen ceiling for us.

I have been meaning to finish the decorating ever since we had the extension built (over 6 years ago!)

There is a fair bit of plaster dust and the carpet may need a vac...

I have circumvented the birds this year and managed to get a decent harvest of both red and black currants :)

Looks like it is going to be a spectacular crumble tonight!

EDIT: The crumble was sour as buggery!

It has been a while since I took a picture that was specifically an abstract composition.

Today has been miserable and rainy; an ideal subject forming patterns on the window.

There is much promise for the Autumn as there are stacks of blackberries forming.

Looks like it could be blackberry and apple crumbles on the cards :)

Ponds and a basking shark

We are in Wales at the moment and today had a very pleasant walk around Bosherston lilly ponds.

As we got down to the sands, there was an interesting sight of a Basking shark fin breaking through the waves.

Walking through the grass today, there were stacks of butterflies around.

I manage to capture a picture of this one before Xena attempted to eat it!   She missed luckily.
