Ersatz

Spot the forsythia. Forsythia? At this time of year? Put together for the autumnal colours.

       Am I getting  grumpy in my old age? Don't answer that. Too much time to ruminate. Not enough time making photographs. When did I last make a photograph? Make a photograph? Hahah, when have I ever made a photograph?

       Robert E. Smith, a Northumbrian (humanitarian was the auto correct suggestion) photographer, wrote an excellent piece about what an exacting exercise making still lifes is as the photographer is responsible for everything.   Rather pertinent for Jill's next mono Monday challenge: Still Life.

       And I learnt a new word: pareidolia.
