Self Portrait: Irish Cyclops
Today’s photo is a bit of fun playing around with camera angles and a speedlight. One of the rules was no tripod and a bare flash. I enjoy doing this sort of thing, never knowing where it ends.

Orderly chaos
Sometimes when doing a 365 it’s can be hard to get good images every day. Sometimes its just a case of looking in outhouses/sheds or whats around you in the house. So this evening while visiting my mother who still has a love to potter around taking flower cuttings and growing plants. I made my way into the little potting shed out back. With no lights in there and armed with a torch I went looking. The place is full of little things from the pass, jars full of little shells we collected has children. Pebbles and sea washed glass, some old toys from our childhood. Its an Aladdin’s cave of days on the beach and garden adventures. Old clay pots painted with time and chipped pieces long return to the earth that they had grown from. I cannot share the memories or adventures from those days. Just a still image from the film off them.
Thank you for visiting.

LAID TO REST.
I love to visit old graveyards, they hold years of history and stories. Stopped at this one on my way home from work. With a low winter sun and clear sky’s it was going to give me a few photography’s. I could see the curtains on the windows across the road moving, bet they wonder why is someone photographing an old graveyard. They never ask.
Today’s photo is an old broken headstone dating from 1880 laid to rest on the grave where it once stood. Covered in moss and lichen it was a work of art. Wonder after 136 years will people be viewing this blog….
Thank you for viewing.

Why??
WHY do we keep so much useless bits in a container, Might we need them someday yet to come. WHY do we do the same with what hurts us. Why keep all that stuff in our human container, so it can hurt us again another time. Every now and then we need to sort out the container and dump what is useless. Same with that which hurts and makes us suffer, let go of it. Throw it away so it can no longer hurt us. Its only when we keep the container as empty has possible that the WHY becomes why.
