This rainy week, another from the sunny archives. OMG it was taken 10 years ago!
We are so often attracted to flowers by their stunning and vibrant colours — a lemon yellow daffodil or a deep red rose. But back in the early 20th century a radiologist, Dr Dain Tasker, was interested in the anatomy of flowers using his professional skills and X-ray film to highlight the soft layering of petals and leaves. This produced ghostly, monochrome images looking more like pen & ink drawings than photographs.
Pussy porn again this week …

Mother was rescued, very pregnant, and cared for by our local animal rescue group, Guardian Angels Animal Support. These two were our choice from the five kittens. Needless to say our existing cat, Tilly, is not impressed. Well not yet anyway!
This week a photograph from a few weeks ago, taken on a rather hazy (read, polluted) morning on the way into central London on the A40. I was struck by the sheer amount of metalwork adorning the sky as well as the road.
This week a photo from the archives …
This will probably be the last of the photographs here from our early April trip to York — but there are quite a few more on my Flickr photostream. This is a montage of 5 or 6 shots of York Minster from the SW.
It is well known, at least around here, that Britain has more than its fair share of eccentrics. And we have had for a very long time. Think back to John Aubrey, John Evelyn and even Samuel Pepys. Then there are the eccentric Victorian clergyman, with too much time on their hands, who investigated everything from stone circles to the propagation of primulas and photography.
This week another photo from our recent trip to York.
Another doggie picture this week. Well, this one isn’t so much a dog as a bear. I certainly wouldn’t like to have to keep the animal in meat! Spotted at Castle Howard a few weeks ago.
This week’s photograph is for Sue … One very mucky small terrier seen a couple of weeks ago on York station. Heaven knows where it had been as it wasn’t exactly a wet day.
