Last one of my dog’s shadow – I promise! I did fiddle about with the colour and the shadows here …

I found this poem on a blog for a young eventing rider, Laine Ashker, who was critically injured at the recent Rolex Three Day Event, Lexington, Kentucky. She is recovering well, and in fact was discharged from hospital yesterday. Her horse, Frodo Baggins, broke his neck and was euthanased. This poem was posted as a tribute to Frodo, and it brought a tear to my eye as well, as I remembered my beautiful old boy Jack, who is in fact buried just a few yards from this very spot. _If you bury him in this spot, / The secret of which you must already have, / He will come to you when you call – / Come to you over the far, dim pastures of death, / And down the remembered paths to your side again. / And though you ride other living horses throughout life / They shall not shy at him or resent him coming. / For he is yours and he belongs there. People may scoff at you, / Who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, / Who hear no nicker pitched too fine for insensitive ears. / People who may never really love a horse. / Smile at them then, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, / And which is well worth knowing. The one place to bury a horse is in the heart of his mistress._ Author unknown

The other night, cold and misty, I foolishly allowed the dog to settle on the bed for a brief moment – and settle she did! Her head perfectly posed upon the pillow, she snuggled beneath an old dressing gown, and looked set for the night … but I’m not that stupid! Bad luck dog, off to your own bed (: But I couldn’t resist the shot.

A gecko on the outside of my window, on a warm summer’s night. Some nights there are 10 or 12 of them, all waiting for the right insect to come along.

Don’t scream – I did warn you! This is a trapdoor spider, which I had an intimate moment with in the garden on Sunday (my finger missed it by about 2mm). I have NEVER seen such an aggressive spider – it reared right up and struck out repeatedly at anything near it. It’s about 3 cm across and 4 cm long (big bugger!!). I caught it and put it in a jar, then set about identifying it. I had heard that there were funnelweb spiders in the Adelaide Hills – AND THERE ARE! But this isn’t one of them. It is a poisonous spider with a bite which will cause some pain and discomfort, but won’t kill you (unlike a funnelweb). Sorry about the flash. Arachnophobes will hate to hear that I let it go in the garden this afternoon :)

My dalmatian, caught with her shadow in strong early morning sunlight. / Please also have a look at a version by lightsmith, called ‘Parallel universes, statues and the nature of the mirror world’ – fantastic work!

When Denzil posted Statues I immediately did a tinker and came up with this image. Of course, I am warped! With Denzil’s kind permission here is my tinker. If you like it, go buy the original I processed the image using PaintShopPro but Photoshop could have been used. How it was done: The Short Version: I created a duplicate layer in PSP and negated it. On the new layer I erased all but the dog, then cloned in the (now white) spots on the shadow. Then I erased the dog too, made the ‘spots’ layer semi transparent, and saved the image. The long version: I opened up a copy of Denzil’s picture in PSP. / I then created a duplicate layer. / I made the duplicate layer negative so that the white dog would be black and the black spots would be white. / I used an eraser tool to remove everything from the duplicate layer except the real dog with the spots. / Then I used the clone tool to put some white spots on the shadow. / Then I used the eraser tool to remove the real dog from the duplicate layer. This meant that the only thing actually on the duplicate layer were the white spots I had cloned from the dog. / Finally, I adjusted the transparency of the duplicate layer so that the shadow dog’s spots were sort of greyish. / Then I saved it as a jpeg and uploaded it.

one of series of cocktail pics taken on the weekend, using the macro setting on my Canon 400D, no treatment at all, just as is.

This large noisy koala appeared in my garden one afternoon, bellowed and snorted for a few hours, and was gone by morning.
