Buy Bananas and Give Yourself a Treat

Fruit is very good to eat, put it to the test.
I have tried them all you know, bananas are the best.

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
Take them home to mother, feed them to the twins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

If you're hair is very straight and you want it curled,
Follow my advice, it is the best thing in the world.

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
Don't buy frozen mutton, don't use milk in tins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

If your landlord comes around and says to you "Look herem
I must have my rent today," just whisper his ear:

Buy bananas and give yourself a treat.
Buy bananas the finest fruit to eat.
If you lose a button, don't use safety pins,
But buy bananas but be careful of the skins.

The project this week calls for colour in a black and white image. So here is my colour with no colour.

After seeing the post of the Brazilian Treehopper I thought I should share the album with all the images of the "Medusa" (jellyfish) sculpture I created collaboratively with Elizabeth Goluch.

I have a cold, it has been cold and this is one of my frost photographs, following the recent bad weather. But it seems appropriate for the day and the theme..

Orchid Flower

I posted this photograph of an orchid flower the other day as a monochrome image. It's a shame not to also see it in full colour, so here it is. It was taken with a macro lens and the final photograph is composed of 41 different photographs blended to give the three dimensional appearance you see. the method is called Focus Stacking.

Stanley Rule & Level Company Compass Plane #113

This plane dates from the third quarter of the 1800's most likely, although it is not possible to put a precise date on it. It is a wonderfully engineered tool that has a flexible adjustable sole and can plane concave as well as convex surfaces. It still gets a workout from time to time in my workshop.

Orchid

This orchid was photographed using focus stacking technique - 40 macro shots stacked to create a depth of field that is impossible to achieve any other way.

For those interested in the technical information, I used the 180mm Canon macro lens with the camera attached to a Stack Shot focusing rail and using Zerene Stacker to combine all the file information into one finely detailed shot.

Techno Toaster

The theme for this week is "Technology". Does it not seem ridiculous, when half the world has no bread to eat, that so much technology has been invested into making toast? In contrast the bread in here is a staple food for so many and is made in a time honoured traditional way, from sourdough. So old meets new.

Maid of the Mist - Niagara Falls 2001

It is quite amazing the advances that have been made in digital photography since the days when I took this picture on my Canon D30, Canon's first DSLR camera to be released, sporting a massive 3 MP sensor!

At the time I was shooting in jpg (ouch) as I was not yet aware of the advantages of raw images. I became so, shortly afterwards. 

This was my first (and only so far) trip to Niagara Falls. The falls that you see in the distance are on the US side, while the Maid of the Mist is heading toward the Canadian falls which are to my right and behind where I was standing.

VIctoire and Friston

Victoire was a Hafflinger mare, at the time about 6 years old. This was her first foal, Friston, only a few minutes old. We knew that Victoire was very close to giving birth and we had been watching from a safe distance, not to disturb her. At one point we briefly left the scene and in those few moments Victoire produced Friston. They really don't like to be watched when giving birth.

In France, according to INRA regulations, horses must be named in a particular way which will indicate the year of their birth, a little like the registration numbers on cars in the UK. So Friston was born in the year for the "F" horses. All horses are registered in France, whether pure breeds, as in Friston's case, or not. The papers for these must be carried at all times when transporting animals as transport vehicles can be stopped by the police at any time to verify the registration.

Hafflingers have been used for light draught horses on farms for various duties since the 2nd World War. They were used during the war for artillary haulage and they are animals of extraordinary courage and willing hearts. They are not big horses, but very strong and will carry adults easily. I rode Victoire myself and never heard her complain.

I'm fortunate enough to still have some old single pane windows in my house.This morning with an outside temperature of around -12°Celsius I was greeted by some wonderful ice patterns on the window panes.

The Way We Were

These old steel rimmed spectacles have a slight rusting on the surface but otherwise are in pristine condition. They are stored in this wooden case and probably date from the 1800's though I can find no information about them. Makes us reflect on times long forgotten. It makes me curious as to what might have been seen through these - and by whom!

Fog Clinging to Blomidon, Viewed from Medford, Nova Scotia - Tide Out

We have the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy (16 meters, 53 feet), so the view is constantly changing. The other evening as the sun was setting the tide was out and the cliff of Blomidon was encapsulated in a shroud of fog, the likes of which we had never seen. We were on the cliffs of Medford at the time. To give you an idea of the expanse, you can see the people walking in the foreground. The tide goes out and comes in at an incredible speed, so walkers have to be very careful not to be caught by incoming tides that cut them off from land.
