WOW! Found my way back into Blogger!

No idea how ... iMacros had corrupted my login script - after upgrading to a new PC - and I have forgotten my password! Somehow it linked me back in.

Had a pretty dry spell on the photography front for over 12 months, thanks to various illnesses, hospital admissions and mobility issues ... even thinking of getting an electric buggy to get about better (aka 'at all'!).  Did make it out last week - typically with only a 55-250mm zoom - and ended up doing a few 'unintended' macro shots ... I swear, I did NOT see this creature through the viewfinder - though it has been cropped quite a bit!!!

Fun guy!

Noticed this 'Honey fungus' growing on a tree stump, just outside my front door.  I knew it was damp round here.  Will keep an eye on it to see how large it can grow before a neighbour's dog, or some spotty oik, vents their spleen and destroys it!

Still not getting out much (although I did go to buy a new 'Freeview' box Saturday). So today was spent looking for something around the flat that might make an interesting shot.

Eventually I noticed that the sunlight was catching on my "Silver Chairman's Award for Innovation" that my former employers had awarded me a few years ago, before terminating my employment with them for repeated absence (due to prolonged medical problems).

Not to dwell on the matter, this 'thing' (about the size of a house brick and made of solid glass) has been 3-D laser etched, internally, with my details and the subject of the award and also with a full 3-D representation of the Globe - see below - remember, this is 'inside' a block of glass - I have 'Paint Shop'd the rest of the glass away .
