The rule of three is not something that comes naturally to me. I had a hard time going through my old photos and look where editing might help. I’ve come up with two completely different kinds of shot.

The ultimate ginger
As beautiful as his tail is, he deserves to be shown in his full size. And yes, I’m sure it was a he. And no, I won’t make any jokes about a squirrel and his nuts.

Fading light
A couple of days ago, I went for a walk late in the day. I took my camera but more out of habit and the photos I took were mere snaps.
I passed this lamp and just when I took a rather fuzzy picture of it, it was switched on.

Bauble
As I’ve also been dabbling in lensball photography, I thought I slip them in here. I found it less exciting than what I thought it would be. For one thing, it’s a pain to carry it around and I’ve exhausted my backyard. It’s not easy to find a spot to put it and I don’t fancy my fingers in the shot. But for what it is worth:

Me and my new girl
I’ve been planning to get a new bike for awhile but thanks to Corona I delayed the acquisition. In the meantime our ways of doing things has changed: I do all the shopping on my own which we often did together beforehand. I don’t use public transport anymore. As we shouldn’t go out for joyrides (they always were a guilty pleasure due to environmental reasons) my radius has shrunk. So when the shops opened again I made a very impulsive decision and bought a pedelec – complete with bags for shopping and/or my camera.
It is such a beauty – I call her Winona Rider, by the way – that even the local bird life is interested:
But I got my own back, being equally curious and being stealthy and very quiet (thanks to Winona):

It’s astounding –
Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely. Not for very much longer. Let’s do the web spin again.
These nests or webs look delicate, yet the threads are surprisingly strong and non-sticky. These are ermine moths, so called because they are white and have black dots. The caterpillars eat all the leaves of a tree or bush, then completely cover it with these webs, and in about a fortnight they will have turned into moths (and the tree or shrub, incidentally, will grow new leaves).
We came across such a spun-in tree today on a hike and I guess they would all be gone if we passed there again in a months time.
