Spot on. It's a pendant, heart-shaped, Croatian I think- bought in Venice but nothing like expensive enough to be Murano glass! I gave everyone a "larf" because I loved all the answers. Especially the orange slice. It's about 4cm. across. That's with my new bellows with the old 100mm. process lens glued on the front. Not the sort of thing for Alamy (unless anyone thinks so) but good fun. I'll try another. No secret here unless you want to try to identify the material.

I'm guessing the one above is a gemstone in a pendant, maybe amber? Would make a lovely one, it's unmounted, not amber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite boring.. brown quartz. Anyway the garden's on again, so.......... Bee unexpected, so only about 1/320th, not fast enough! Incidentally, I tried some pinhole work, but no dice..........at f/400 the pellicle on the A58 is absolutely covered in carp! You never see it even at f/32, of course.

When I was in the Falkland Islands I found that even penguins walk faster than I do. I used to blame it on my short legs but that doesn't work with penguins.

TABan Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Mourning dove feeding one of its chicks in our backyard. Hard to say whether this is mom or dad. If they're next to each other you can sometimes tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Wow, what great pictures. The swans are special, and I think the fledgling dove should be feeding its parents, rolypoly (daddy’s little fatty) thing.
