Sing a Song of Sixpence
87/365
But there are no blackbirds baked in this pie! Just good old chicken and ham.
Despite it being almost May and the dried days, it's still fairly nippy and a comforting pie is very welcome.

Apple 'Frit'er
86/365
Blue apple shape created from crushed glass (known as 'frit') prior to being fused in a kiln.
This picture was taken during a Glass Fusing Workshop run by Marie Glossop as part of the Cornwall Council Adult Education programme. An excellent workshop! Marie is an extremely talented lady with a wonderful (and addictive) studio (Atlantic Glass Studio) in Bude, North Cornwall.

Pear Blossom

If the frost doesn't destroy the blossom this year, we could be in for a bumper crop.

Asian Short Clawed Otter
80/365
The Asian otters are smaller than the British and seemed to be more vocal, busy and playful - or least there were until dinner time when the British otter found it's voice and used it to full volume!
Picture taken 19th April, Tamar Otters.
Such great little characters! They knew when dinner was about to served.

Kestrel
79/365
Jack, the Kestrel. We often see Kestrels hovering above with their distinctive fanned tail, or perching in a tree but rarely this close up. They are absolutely stunning.
Picture taken 19th April, Tamar Otters.
Although I have chosen the picture above as my 'Daily' photo (I liked the constrast between Jack and the blue sky), the one below shows him in a little more detail.

British Otter
78/365
Today I spent a fabulous afternoon spent at Tamar Otter and Wildlife Sanctuary. The otters were such characters, I could have watched them for hours.
Although this is a photo-a-day project, I'll being adding more pictures from this afternoons outing in for the next couple of days - it'll still be one photo a day... just not necessarily taken on that day.

Little Bells

Perfect little bells of the Pieris.
The Peiris are positively dripping in flowers this year, it's the first time we've seen such an impressive display of on this shrub.

Textured Tulip
76/365
Our solitary tulip.
We only have one tulip in our garden. Every year it stands out from the crowd of muscari and chionodoxa in the flower bed, and every year I think "I must get more tulips planted". Every year I forget...
The texture has been applied in Photoshop. I had a bit of a play with textures a while back but couldn't really get the feel for them. Having been inspired by the results achieved by others I thought I'd give it another go. I'm pleased with how this one has turned out and will have more of a play with them.

Buttons

After cautiously circling and staring suspiciously at the sewing machine I made a cushion cover. I've never made a cushion cover before... I am ridiculously chuffed to bits with it!

Soon to be an ex-Lindt bunny!

Seaweed

Fresh from the sea.
Also good for weather forecasting; when the seaweed is wet it's raining, when it's dry, it's not!
