A photograph looking along a path at ground level. The grass border is choked with a great many small paper hearts in pink and white. Confetti left behind by a wedding.

My sharply honed detective skills are leading me to suspect there may have been a wedding at this church. #photography

A photograph looking down a pedestrianised street at night. Shops are on either side, closed for the night. Overhead, lines of bright yellow lights shine as they lead down the street.

Beulah Street, in Harrogate, at night. #photography

A photograph of a cluster of mushrooms low amongst the grass. That shape of the mushrooms seems to mimic the shape of the out of focus tree line in the distance.

@warmovietheatre.bsky.social is this one on your list for the podcast?

Paris-Tours was an entertaining race. It’s much better when you don’t know who is going to win until they actually reach the line.

A photograph of the waning gibbous moon. Craters visible along the terminator line giving a good sense of the shape of the moon.

A photograph of a purple flower, against a grey background.

A photograph of an orange marigold flower viewed face on against a dark background. The orange petals shade to yellow at the centre of the flower and almost seem to glow.

A marigold. It almost seems to glow. #photography #bloomscrolling

I was 6 hours into a 20 hour 3D print when the power went off. When the power came back on, the printer asked me if I wanted to resume ... but then tried to restart the print from scratch anyway. Ah well, back to square one. I guess it's risky to start it again while this storm is still hitting.

Disaster. Storm Amy has killed the power just as I was about to make a cup of tea. She could have waited a few minutes.

This mosaic of two wide angle photos from the Perseverance rover shows the Martian surface stretching into the distance beyond two foreground hills. The rover tracks can just be seen winding into the distance. In this view clouds are unusually well defined as they float well above the tan dust that eternally colors the Martian skies. In the original photos the area near the Sun is 'burned out' by the limitations of the camera sensor. I have addressed this by manually painting over the overexposed areas to reconstruct something of the brightness contours as they probably would have appeared to a human observer. I have also 'warped' the lower corners to fill the rectangular format. Artist's prerogative :-)

A recent vista from Mars obtained by the Perseverance Rover on its 1635th Martian day, or 'Sol', Clouds far above the eternal dust pall are unusually well shown in this afternoon view. This is a mosaic of two wide angle color Navcam images.

A photo looking down at a tree stump that has been cut low to the ground. A few green leaves are sprouting from the side of the tree stump.

The remains of a common lime tree, still producing a few new leaves.

Hate to do this but I only had two orders this month and I'm overdrawn so if you could boost or check out my shop that'd be a great help! thanks anaisfae.art/shop/

Two sets, and an encore!

A photo of Tanya Donnelly on stage playing a single pickup Gibson SG guitar. She’s singing and the stage is bathed in magenta light.

Tanya Donnelly of Belly on stage tonight in Leeds. It was such a fantastic gig. 😊 #LiveMusic

A view of an empty stage. The band logo for Belly can be seen at the back, bathed in blue light.

I’m at the venue to see Belly! #livemusic

Sad to hear about Danny Thompson's death. Such a great bass player.

A photograph showing a tangle of spiny seed heads surrounded by grass. The film gives the whole scene a blueish colour.

I’m not sure what plant this is. It looked like spiny empty seed cases at the time. This quirky film makes it look quite abstract, I think.

A photograph of a square towered church with trees around it and cars parked in front. The Lomography Turquoise film has given the sky a metallic orange tint, and the leaves on the trees have a turquoise/green look to them.

Christ Church in Harrogate. This quirky film from Lomography gives it an interesting look. I like the effect.

I’ve received my order from @gailmyerscough.co.uk - a new slipmat for my record player. I love the swirly pattern.

The body swap episode of Wednesday was excellent.

That was a hard fought win by Mads Pedersen. Great racing. #lavuelta

I received the emergency alert and did make me jump, so I guess it worked.

A diptych of two photos. On the left a severely sawn back tree. On the right a solitary conker from the same tree, lying on the ground.

I was sad to see the fate of this old horse chestnut tree. It had an impressively wide canopy, now lost it seems. Here are the remains alongside one of its last conkers, resting in the sawdust from its parent tree. #photography #diptych

A photograph of a dandelion, flowering quite late in the year now we’re in September.

Took the new (to me) Lensbaby Velvet 85 lens that I repaired this morning out for a spin. I think I like it. The macro mode works well, and so far the aperture dial is still working. #photography
