#FlyDay
Close up image (taken with an 18-55 kit lens and cropped to within an inch of its life) of a small yellow fly on a bright green leaf. Around the fly are other leaves out of focus, and a tiny dew drop on the leaf the fly is stood on.

Windows, the televisions of the cat world.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindows
A cat, Fluffy (short for Fluffy Little Ball Of Rage And Fury because she was a right little madam when she was a kitten. As an adult she was a sweetheart. Very much the boss of everything, but a sweetheart on the sly) sits looking out of the window, watching birds flying back and forth across the driveway between the bushes on either side.

In the window her face can be seen reflected.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindows
Looking out of a window at snow—proper snow, not the light stuff that melts on contact, or the stuff that’s practically a slushy—as it falls on the bushes lining the driveway, our neighbour’s driveway and Land Rover, and the street beyond.

I was a little worried when I sat down to watch Frankenstein, as I often find myself underwhelmed by movies that receive the sort of constant stream of hype and praise it received leading up to its release, but rather happily, I actually enjoyed it.

Close up image (not a macro shot, it was shot with a kit lens and had a buttload of cropping in post to get the image I wanted) of a - according to google - Platycheirus Albimanus (a fly) on a pink flower, rubbing the stamen, and either collecting pollen, or plotting some dastardly deed whilst muttering “excellent!”

Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 24 Nov is the start of Week V and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Vowels. So the subject of your pic must start with a vowel e.g. apple; earring; Inverness; otter; umbrella. Anything at all but with a vowel first. Easy Peasy!

#BlueSkyArtShow #Small
A yellow spider using its web to descend onto a green leaf. The markings on the spider’s body look—to me—like the shocked face of a cartoon character. The spider is photographed against a—insert your favourite artsy word of choice for—blurred backdrop of leaves and yellow flowers, the blurring intentionally created in order to keep the image relatively uncluttered, and have all the focus on the spider. The photographer (me) was in a mild state of panic taking the photograph due to suffering from arachnophobia.
