Things to do with fruit before making jam

This was more accidental than contrived, resulting from experimenting with taking photos with a new Nikon Coolpix and trying to get focal point and shutter speed settings right for future web site work.

Clearly another homophone (see “String Theory" earlier in the blog, and the page for this kind of humorous art on my web site) this is definitely a throw away piece, mainly because the plums will be turned into home made jam and eaten soon....

make - record – smile – dispose

….it's a little bit like listening to a comedian I suppose, take the joke in, enjoy the humour and then seek out the next one …. I will be doing more along the same lines in the future (although perhaps not all will be throw away) ….there are ideas a' brewing..

The Journey of a Ladybird

Sometimes I see things and just think sideways I spotted this little ladybird on the inside face of a smoking shelter at work…I guess the *A* is part of the identification for assembling the shelter....

It made me wonder if the ladybird ever found “B” and completed her journey, and where indeed *B* was...
