To be honest, the entire family wanted to take things easy today after the past week's travelling around to fun places for the kids. So while the kids were watching videos I had set up this elaborate off-camera flash solution to photograph the tits visiting our bird feeder. The little blighters must have got a better offer because I listened to an entire installment of "Gardener's Question Time" on Radio 4 and not a dicky-bird.

Meanwhile, my wife had a rehearsal session with her theatre company for this year's Christmas show. I normally only barge in at the final dress rehearsals, but our kids wanted a sneak pre-preview of their mum on the stage. So we paid her a visit after a quick whirl at the park photographing Autumnal leaves. Which would have been a strong candidate for today's blip but for...

...this subject who is one of the fellow cast members. She was sitting on a chair watching the stage, and I wanted to superimpose her over those green curtains. A beautiful smile, but I do wish I had noticed the stray hair over her nose :(
