Snooping Through Hedges Again

Another backup photo, taken a couple of days ago.
I have been doing some training on our new 3D scanner today, and ended up knackered again.

Sparkling Flamingo

Or Flamenco Con Gas, if you prefer your silly titles in Spanish.

A backup photo today, taken in Max Garden, a place in Mallorca that Lucy and I had enjoyed brunch in back in 2018. I was pleased to discover it was still in business, so I went back with her folks for old times' sake.
It was nice to revisit, and the food was still good.

Something Tells Me The Sign Didn't Work

Click image to view a bigger version I was absolutely exhausted after work this evening for some reason, and fell asleep on the sofa after I'd had dinner.
One of the many advantages of this time of year is that it stays light to a sufficiently late point that one can crash out, recover a bit, and still get a decent walk in! I thought this sign and graffiti made an amusing juxtaposition.

Many Dandelions

I saw this field full of bright yellow dandelion flowers a few weeks ago, and when I walked past today, they have all gone to seed and were catching the light rather nicely.

Rather a pleasant walk along the canal.

Self-Similarity

Click image to view a bigger version

This is the first time I've really taken a close look at an individual dandelion seed - I was struck by the almost fractal nature of the seed with respect to the whole dandelion head.
The individual fibres are also surprisingly rough and spiky.
I will have to revisit this one I think, perhaps I should drag the microscope out and get properly close in on the fibre structure.
This one is at 5x magnification.

Food Eaten, Wine Drunk, Go Home

A backup photo from last week, as I'm very sure that you don't want to see the boring, functional photos of disconnector contacts and ammeters that I took at work today.

Finally back up to date on posting (statement currently valid for about 36 minutes...)
