Cleaning !!!

The weather is pretty miserable today so I decided to clean the oven and do a thorough tidy up in the lounge.  But then I got to thinking about a photo for today, so I decided to take a close-up of my Aloe Vera plant (which I’d just cleaned).  This all made a mess of the lounge, which I’d just tidied up!
 
Anyway, the photograph of the Aloe Vera plant turned out to be pretty mundane and the photo of the resulting mess in my lounge is probably more interesting.  So I’ve made the photo of the mess my blip for today and attached the photo of the plant as an extra.
 
The tripod arrangement probably looks overly complex, but the camera is upside down (to get the height right) and its attached to the tripod with a focus rail (which is invaluable for macro photography since you can make very fine adjustments to the camera position, forwards and backwards, and side to side).
 
Now I have to clean up again …
