Just in case you missed the memo …


It comes back to the fact that eating protein at source is sustainable (eg eating plants) rather than enslaving other beings to steal their bodies because it takes 16x as much plant material to get 1 pound of animal protein. 

We can feed 16 times as many people = much more efficient.

Chevrolet alien ant parade


Ants on missions walking along the white spouting. Little bodies make shadowy images when they pass through the reflected sunshine. Most of this is out of focus and I like how sometimes they seem to be with the beat of the music. I'd love to understand what optical phenomenon made the gorgeous pink and yellow hues near the end. Thanks Andy for the fab tunes, I really love Chevrolet, that guitar mmm mmm! Thanks for stopping by. Happy weekend everyone xx

Swirled Togetherness

Abstract using white pen on black paper. The swirls have their own personalities. They seem to intermingle nicely when thrown together multiple times. Like us they rely on each other. Peaceful swirly vibes coming at you! xx

Emma Tree is my new favourite DJ ROCK ON! (Or innst innst innst as the case may be :) ENJOY!!

Emma Tree on Mixcloud 

Emma is super talented having also just launched yet another amazing photobook. I can't wait to see it. 

I met Emma on Canaan Downs a few years back. She inspired me with all her activities and interests. I've often thought of her since because she taught me a breathing technique where you use your arms like a bird to bring good energy into your body. It's rather empowering. I dare you to try it. But first click on this link to have her amazing tunes in the background.

Sending so many good vibes out to the world! Off to go hug a tree. Come back soon for the next challenge!

Mum's photo

So happy to have this photo my Mum took, it's so rare to find a photo of me in the moment behind the lens. I coveted this one (lens) for years & even have a stoked selfie of the day I bought it. My smile radiates the joy I felt to finally have this beauty in my tool kit. It's a beautiful but rather cumbersome lens. For crispness it can't beat the 100mm macro but of course it can take me closer (200mm). 

Here's to more photography missions in the near future. 

Thanks Mum for the photo :)

I really enjoyed the gimbal stabilisation and the mirror less Canon. Turned out it was set on slow mo. 

That's me on the left of centre in front of the stage.

Scoby wasn't sure he got the right end of the stick when they said "bring a plate!"

 


A mediocre attempt at humour. Hope it made you smile :)

Scoby aka "symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast" on a plate with a rubber band. Each week I take some of the liquid the the Scoby lives in and replace it with sweet tea. In exchange for tea and sugar they give me a rich drink that replenishes my gut flora and tastes amazing (aka kombucha). 

The by product of this wonderful symbiosis is that each week the scoby grows too and eventually starts eating so much the tea turns to vinegar too quickly so a cull is required. You could say she's a mother of an eater! With a very long heritage of successful breeders. I've found the vinegar is great in dressings as as a hair rinse, makes my hair all soft and lovely. Remarkable! 

This photo is a couple of culls from my jars as well as a small bottle that didn't get air tight on the second (usually anaerobic ferment) and made it's own teeny scoby. Flopped out onto a plate ready for the compost or the neighbours chooks I noticed a face. 

The rubber band was around as it holds material over the jar mouth during the first (aerobic) ferment in the cupboard.
