My handsome (and hungry) Grandson Oakley.

Couldn't resist!

Remember when lollipops were childrens sweets? Spotted these on sale in Covent Garden.

.............and very nice tooo..!!

Spotted this and thought this might make an interesting, if random, shot! Sorry 'bout the title :-))

As the rubbish weather continues, so do the indoor photography experiments :-) I'm happy with the black background, but I don't think I've nailed the lighting yet, although I think this is a good start.

A present from one of my daughters...............don't ya just love it's Christmas Jumper? I think I've pretty much caught up on all your photos's now................I apologise if I've missed anyone :-))

Taken inside an antiques centre in Wickham, Hampshire. I couldn't find out much about most of this stuff, except that this vintage packing is a popular seller on the web. Lutona - was made in the Co-op's cocoa processing plant in Luton from 1902. The factory was demolished in 1970, but I have no idea when the product ceased being sold. Borwicks - was made in London from around 1844. As far as I know it is still being made in Rotherham, by Kerry Food. Allinson - their baking yeast was introduced in 1892. The firm is still going today selling bread and baking products. Orlox - I couldn't find any details, except that this packing was popular in the 1930's. Best viewed large for more detail. Miss Orlox looks particularly lovely :-)

All our pubs are still closed. This was taken through the window of the Royal Oak, Langstone Harbour (which used to be a lovely place to sit and enjoy a beer after a walk). All the stock and glasses etc have been removed and there is nothing left on the bar. All I could see except these beer pump handles, was the out-of-focus reflection of part of the harbour. The sun shining on the window gave this a really surreal look which I liked. I hope you do too:-) Try viewing large, on black.

Taken on a small table in my garden in natural light. White cardboard as a background. I ate the subject matter after the photo was taken :-)
