Another jewellery picture. Jens Pind bracelet, done in square and round wire rings.

30 January 2006

 
Honeysuckle leaves. Everything was covered in frost today, and I liked the way it had stayed on the edges of the leaves.

29 January 2006

 
Not the best picture of the day, but the luckiest. Three swans swimming on the Tweed.

28 January 2006

 
A documented sighting of that rare creature, the pink Honda Jazz.

Self-portrait; reflection in a window.

The finished bracelet I showed part of on Monday.

25 January 2006

 
Early morning view from the car, parked in the car park at work.

24 January 2006

 
Acrobatic thieving squirrel. That fat/seed block is supposed to be for the birds! Taken from the kitchen window. Had to turn on the digital zoom.

23 January 2006

 
Chain I'm working on. Half-Persian 4-1, square silver wire rings. Quite a chunky piece.

22 January 2006

 
More homemade bagels, before cooking this time.

21 January 2006

 
84 George Street, Edinburgh. Hmm. Like a lot of my pictures, it looks a bit washed out or overexposed. Something I need to work on.

20 January 2006

 
Bad picture of some homemade bagels. Only took two pictures today, this was the better one.

19 January 2006

 
Bramble growing at the base of a tree. Took 5 pictures, none brilliant, but a couple not too bad.

18 January 2006

 
Kirkcaldy. Park about 5 minutes walk from work.

17 January 2006

 
Nothing special - I just liked the way the cloud was 'caught' on the tops of the trees.

16 January 2006

 
Didn't work out. I was going for the water droplet, but didn't get it quite right.

15 January 2006

 
No good pictures today. So a rather blurred one of some carrot cake. Used Nigella's recipe for carrot cupcakes/muffns, but didn't have any muffin cases, so just baked in it a rectangular tin. Seemed to turn out OK - better than the picture of it anyway!

14 January 2006

 
Edinburgh, Princes Street Gardens. Poser squirrel - it sat around in various positions on the tree for a good number of minutes while I took some pictures. There was another one, but it wasn't so interested in being photographed.

13 January 2006

 
A shoe from a pair I made on a course in November 2004. A boot from a pair I treated myself to for my birthday last December.

12 January 2006

 
Back garden again. Taken looking upwards through some trees.

11 January 2006

 
Discovered I had put dud batteries in the camera when I went to take a picture at lunchtime. So I had to wait until I got home. Picture of the fridge.

10 January 2006

 
Nothing good today. So a bad picture of the little pottery dog that sits on my desk.

9 January 2006

 
Inside today. Playing with macro mode. Nothing really worked out well - need a better set-up for this kind of thing, I guess. Anyway, picture of the centrepiece of a necklace I made. Stone was set for me by a jeweller in Dunblane, attached to a Jap12-2 chain. Sits as a choker.

8 January 2006

 
Loaf of bread. Made by me. Haven't cut it open yet, so although it looks OK, I don't know how it tastes.
 
Taken looking through the fence at the top of the garden, looking out from it. Used a fencepost as a tripod.

7 January 2006

 
In Edinburgh. Discarded Christmas tree in a side alley.

6 January 2006

 
A pine cone from the tree at the back of the garden.

5 January 2006

 
Last day of holiday. Christmas decorations on the fireplace.

4 January 2006

 
Carrbridge. On the way from Inverness to home. Stopped for breakfast. This was in the car park, just outside the car.

3 January 2006

 
Travel Inn, Inverness. Coming home from holiday on Orkney.

2 January 2006

 
Mull Head, Orkney. Came across this miniature stone circle someone had built. None of my pictures turned out that well.

1 January 2006

 
Some unknown plant. Sands of Wright, Orkney.
