*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2025.06.21 ***

I like the reflection of the other building on the glass façade, which makes the picture more interesting.

It is more interesting as an object, but it is fine to hold. The Caran d Ache Ecridor, is nicest pencil to use in my opinion. They have become super expensive lately though. I have not explored Japanese brands like Kuru Toga, you have to stop somewhere.

I stumbled across those in my morning web search. Beautiful.

The building side would make nice abstract shot.

Look like serious tools, should be nice to handle.

In London, all train tunnels have plenty of graffiti.

This photo is so gloriously abstract, that one forgets the sense of degradation that this graffiti inflicts on London.

The woman reflected makes this shot.

Midsummer

We've been enduring a heatwave - in the British sense. 28 degrees here in Cumbria. So an early morning walk was callde for. Up on the fell the ox-eye daisies were doing their thing.

Definitely objects of desire.

Wonderful. I'm definitely in the 'love them' camp. The first is pefectly caught.
When our younger daughter was little, she had a fox cub glove puppet called Tofe (pronounced Toffee - spelling has never been her strong point 😁). 'She' went everywhere with us, including long car/camping trips in France, where she proved gifted at composing little tunes to keep us occupied on the motorways. "When Tof goes hunting in the night..." was a great hit 😅. Now in her thirties, our daughter still has her, and foxes are a common motif in her house.

Fabulous reflections. Lots of opportunity for abstract compositions too.

This is a really nice shot Mr D. It's intruiging. I prefer yours but I tried with a tighter crop so it's not obvious it's graffiti.

The first of the two for me. It seems very carefree. The second makes me feel a bit sneezy!

That's a sweet story that brings to mind my daughter's similarly loved toy, 'Ellenty' the elephant. He became such a part of our family we eventually staged a wedding to a similar stuffed elephant and we actually set up a ceremony with adult and children guests, a mocked-up altar and had a friend role-play the vicar. And a reception afterwards with alcohol for the adults.

Sorry everyone, I posted in the misplaced threads area this week.

You were missed, but I didn't check in other areas. I was worried where you had got to!

These are great shots. You've really captured their character as they play and learn about the world around them. Fantastic.
