These, and in the previous post, the jet (a magnificent shot, and the jet itself has a ghostly quality to it, like it's made of nothing more substantial than vapor).HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-23732415339297149372014-02-13T11:40:34.638+01:002014-02-13T11:40:34.638+01:00Thanks very much, this has proved to be more popul...Thanks very much, this has proved to be more popular than I imagined!<br /><br />ML - thanks, quite arty aren't they?<br /><br />Marly - I am wearing a marvellous garment in the shape of my long stripey Baktus scarf (essentially a long shallow triangle striped as one wishes), made from Peruvian alpaca and Japanese silk and wool, the stripey tail of which rather by a clever chance curves into the Paisley pattern on the lace curtains.<br /><br />PC - yes, I used to have a bit of a thing about making those by photo editing, but these happened quite spontaneously, and other than the sepia, have undergone little editing.<br /><br />Robbie - if I carried a shotgun I couldn't carry the camera. Are you saying my hat isn't fashionable? I fear you are right; it is in fact a fleece tube with a drawstring at one end, but it doesn't itch, doesn't fight, in terms of colour and texture, with the scarf and keeps my hair out of my face so I can put off visiting the hairdresser for a bit longer. I've read very little E. Nesbit, though they were always around, and I have 'The Book of Dragons' on the Kindle for when I might be feeling whimsical.<br /><br />Lyse - merci, mais je suis assez solide!<br /><br />Jean - thanks and nice to see you about. Attempts at self-portraits with the camera held at arm's length always show me very grotesquely shaped!<br /><br />Bruce - thank you, you are most gallant.<br /><br />Tristan - I think your rogues gallery should be displayed, in the public interest!<br /><br />Francesca - thanks, I do occasionally dispense with that form of vanity disingenuously called modesty (in other words, oh my god do I really look like that I'd better not let anyone see...) and publish a selfie. Not my favourite subject though!<br /><br />Joe - thanks, yes, and pattern. The reflective surface softens things agreeably.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-53683006089354663812014-02-12T19:36:55.676+01:002014-02-12T19:36:55.676+01:00Texture!

Nesbit story - mysterious lady (ML) who scares all the kids, except for one, usually a girl, in fact a somewhat shortened adult, who has the temerity to wander round ML's garden, is caught there, turns out scariness is all a sham, offers tea and if not sympathy a predictable life story, becomes neighbourhood benefactress... you fill in the rest. Modern day equivalent (by the young Joanna Trollope) has slightly different ending - starts a fashion for those kind of hats, makes millions in late life.<br /><br />Next time: carry a shotgun.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-81333094473971040762014-02-10T00:24:47.527+01:002014-02-10T00:24:47.527+01:00looks like those magical double exposure photos in...looks like those magical double exposure photos in which realities blend.the polish chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929281676865641560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-71728519655518628312014-02-09T23:52:54.475+01:002014-02-09T23:52:54.475+01:00Like the sepia one, in which you appear to be wear...Like the sepia one, in which you appear to be wearing a marvelous garment and to have persuaded the light to live in your hair!Marly Youmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377938366750387442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-19389039219709781052014-02-09T23:06:40.828+01:002014-02-09T23:06:40.828+01:00Amazing shots!
