Circle complete…& life goes on to another month of CLICK! With Jugalbandi‘s CLICK, I began burning some midnight oil to read up about my point & shoot. Discovered ‘MACRO’…WOOHOO… & then would macro shoot all day long…..still do. Every month of CLICK throws up AMAZING pictures, a huge & steep learning curve for me. I stand nowhere in the running, but something within wants me to send a participative entry…
The August 08’s theme is CITRUS. One of my favourite foodie & natural flavours. The freshness & zing of Citrus is unparalleled. It’s got this ‘get & up & go’ thingie which I absolutely love. So, here’s my entry for CLICK CITRUS: August ’08. Why do they look all shrivelled up? Story follows…
…& brings me to my current obsession! My previous one was yeast, the battle of which has been largely won, so I’ve moved on to trying to plant a ‘tangerine’ plant. I love the ornamental look, beauty & freshness of this plant. Was speaking to a neighbour last evening, who said to me that the plant would grow from seeds. Had saved up 2 tangerines from making ‘Seville/Bitter Orange Marmalade’ earlier this year & dried them for posterity. Hit the soil this morning, spade & all; have shoved some seeds into Mother Earth…will now check every morning to see if I’m gonna get lucky! If you never hear of this obsession again…you know the seeds didn’t oblige or my green thumb is history. Hopefully from a seed shall grow a plant!
For the Jugalbandi duo… !!
These three ‘busy’ pictures are dedicated to the hardworking Bee & her equally hard-working better half, Jai! If you look at these creatures at work, you’ll know where she got her name from! These buzzing ‘bees at work’ are currently buzzing in the tree outside my window & I was terrified they would attack me.
lovely clicks 🙂
Those are mighty scary bees you have there, never seen any like that before!
Good luck with the seeds, and the terrific photo for click.
