I picked some Mulberries this morning & while cleaning & removing the stems before putting them in a pie, I found this tiny while spider in the bowl<br />
He's smaller than the fingernail on my pinkie finger & is stained pink from the Mulberries just like my hands are.<br />

Our bees are dying at a rapid rate.<br /><br /> Charles Darwin once said that “The life of man would be made extremely difficult if the bee disappeared.”<br /><br />So it’s safe to say that Darwin, if he was still alive, would be more than a little concerned to know that over fifty per cent of the world’s honey bee population have died.<br /><br /> Why should you care? Because bees are responsible for pollinating 70 per cent of the world’s horticulture and agricultural crops, so without them we simply would not have fresh fruit and vegetables - in fact, we would all starve within five years, because nothing could be pollinated.</div>

I found these feathers while on my morning walk, I love the 'oil slick' colours on the side, they only show when you hold the feather a certain way. I think they come from the Crested Pigeon, which is pretty common in suburbia here in Australia. <a href="http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/crested-pigeon" rel="nofollow" target="blank">http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/crested-pigeon</a></div>

I sprayed her web, hoping to make it show up more, but she got her legs wet & had to get the water off them.<br />

I cropped this one a lot, as she really was an itsy bitsy spider..<br />

I'm not totally happy with today's photo, but I ran out of daylight, so this is what you get. Hopefully she'll still be there in the morning, the darn Indian Miner birds eat all the bugs in my yard.<br />

Note.. it's now the next day & she was gone when I checked this morning, I really do hate those Indian Miner birds grrrrrrrrrrrrEllenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03069497824428680505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098898397061115789.post-30449976309293423302014-10-02T04:37:00.000-07:002014-10-05T02:30:50.638-07:00Back to 365 Project finally<br />
It has taken me almost 3 years to get myself back onto<a href="http://365project.org/kiwiellen/365" target="_blank"> 365Project</a> - Now that I am learning how to use my camera properly at last & not shoot everything on automatic. I need a push to get out and about with my camera so here goes & I'm looking forward to it too.<br />
<br />
Today's pic was taken with my Macro Lens, and yes it's the same pink Crucifix Orchid that grows in the back yard. We had a heavy shower this afternoon so it was just perfect when I went out looking for something to be my first picture for the project<br />
<br />
<br />
I named it 'After the Rain'<br />

My sister Nancy came to stay with me for a few days after my daughter Liz's wedding, and our project for the week was a photo showing/using light in some way. I took this early in morning while Nancy was having her first cuppa. The sun was shining thru the window right onto Nancy's face. It's quite a harsh light but I like the picture.<br />

This next picture is one we did in class, we had to compose a picture using the dice and cup as well as some pegs and the textured 'fabric'. I'm reasonably happy with this, maybe getting the camera lower would have made the picture more interesting, rather than looking down on it, but...<br />

<br />
Our next home project was to show the rule of thirds, I chose to use my Macro Lens with a pink Crucifix Orchid. I sprayed water on the flower first, as I think it gives it a bit of oomph to a flower in a photo. It really is an odd looking thing when you see it up close. This one earned me chocolates in class as the best pic of the day ;)<br />

<br />
I plan to share the progress I'm making with understanding my camera and using my own settings, instead of just letting the camera decide.<br />
<br />
I started a course called 'Beyond The Basics' at the local TAFE (Community College)<br />
<br />
I got off to a slow start, because due to reconstructive surgery on my right hand to remove some arthritis, I was unable to manipulate the buttons on the camera ( I had a splint on my hand) <br />
<br />
However, I am now able to take the splint off and am doing Physio to get it all moving again, so look out world, here I come.<br />
<br />
Our first assignment was to learn how to change the focus of the camera by changing the aperture to show depth of field, I know this is a simple picture but I'm just beginning, so please be patient with me ;) This is a money box moose, such a handsome wee guy.<br />

Last night was our 3rd class, it was a 'Night Shoot' so we went to a shopping centre at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, where there's a pedestrian bridge which crosses the street in the middle of an intersection. We set up our tripods and cameras and really had a great time even though there wasn't a real lot of traffic.<br />

The second picture was taken looking in a different direction and moving the lens in and out gently while the shutter was open, such a fun picture..<br />
<br />
Then we packed up our tripods and cameras, and headed over to the Park at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, and took some photos of the high rises in Surfers Paradise, across the Nerang River.<br />

<br />
Tuesday I went to the AGM of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tweed-Valley-Artists-Co-Op/184352774970215" target="_blank">Tweed Valley Artists Co-op</a> andmet some delightful folks there. The Gallery is in Community Hall, in the village of<a href="http://mtwarning.com/tyalgum.htm" target="_blank"> Tyalgum</a>, which is about 20 minutes from Murwillumbah. I loved the diverse mix of art that is on display there, and I am looking forward to putting some of my creations there too.<br />
<br />
The Co-op has an Art Cafe event coming up on April 28th at the Tyalgum Hall, which promises to be a fabulous day and I am planning to share a table with one of the other artists, wish me luck!!<br />

<br />
For those who don't follow me on Facebook, I have moved from the USA to Australia ~ Long story, but I had to move closer to my children, and so here I am. I live now in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murwillumbah,_New_South_Wales" target="_blank">Murwillumbah </a> in the far north of New South Wales, just south of the border with Queensland, and the famous Gold Coast.<br />
<br />None of my art supplies or my dolls are here yet, but the crate that holds all of my beads and other art supplies, as well as my dolls, has made landfall & all being good and well, it should be here in the next week or so. It first has to be cleared through customs, I hope they manage to get everything back in the crate, as Joe and I packed it pretty tight ~ had to be to prevent things from sliding around while it was out there on the ocean.<br />
<br />This is 'The Keeper of Faces' she is my first Art Doll made using assemblage & she was so much fun to make that I want to make more.<br />

Her body was made from a small drawer, this allowed me to attach her head over the drawer pull, she has 'barby' hands which are attached with wire to small pieces of dowel and beads that form her 'arms'. Her legs are polymerclay over dowel for strength. Of course I had to use beads, and I had such fun gluing her beads on that it was hard to know when to stop. I guess I will be doing more of this kind of beading LOL</div>
