Paint the Whole World

Paint the Whole World with Zippy and George

It was tipping it down when i took the dogs today and I got utterly soaked.*


This is an oil slick in the road. I think mankind (as a species) has taken that whole "Paint the whole world with a rainbow" image to heart.

The usual poplar, taken from the partial cover of a leafless tree.

Wet cemetery road. My camera whites out against the sky so I don't get decent pictures of the tree colours.

Here are some leaves, though.
There're graves under there somewhere.

*Typically, after we'd got home and I'd pulled off all my soaking clothes and had a shower, the sun came out.

A Hat full of Rainbows

I actually forgot my phone when I took the dogs a walk this morning, so no photos from there. This, however, was the view from the front door as the wyves went out last night. A rainbow and a splash of electric blue sky.

So instead of landscapes you have photos from the garden this evening. I wanted a new livejournal icon to replace the sai (I've had to stop kobudo and jiu-jitsu for the immediate future - too much leg and foot damage) so seeing them daily is a bit emotionally painful. Here, however, is my favourite, dilapidated hat, in this shot amongst a bad of sage and honeysuckle.

This shot got a bit bleached. It's the hat atop my old 'George' - the log cemented in place and used as point practice when I used to study rapier.

Finally, the hat in the greenhouse.
I potted up a couple of plant I bought from Morissons for 30p each, some parsley and a water lily.
