After yesterday’s warm afternoon I’d been hopeful that today would bring the start of the dragon season, but it wasn’t to be: much of the day was dark, murky and drizzly, though it did cheer up a little towards the … Continued

Mother’s Day

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, Still life | 0

Or is it Mothers’ (plural) Day? Whatever. I was called away yesterday morning from photographing the dock-bug-that-turned-out-to-be-a-box-bug, to accept delivery of a package sent by the Offspring in advance of Ancient Parent (Female) Day, and which turned out to contain … Continued
