A little something for the ears:

Two weeks in - in difficult times. Nothing to be ashamed of!

Unlike every day this week where the weather was fine, giving me an excuse to travel on a ferry pre golden hour and get some easy shots for the challenge, I went to the garden to check the weather and it was grim. I thought to myself I'm not lugging my camera around today when it's like that. So I thought I'd take a picture of what greeted me to show you how grim it was.

Ironically, it got to 10.30am then turned into the hottest day this year. I suppose I should check the weather forecast.

Yep, turned into a stinker. We’ve got thunder and lightning right now thank goodness, cooling it down!

One thing I've never come to terms with - thunder and lightening down here doesn't neccessarily cool it down(!)

True. But, instead of 40º as it was, its now only 28º. Cool enough by comparison. My personal comfort zone is about 15-22º. LOL

Hi Matt, thanks, I'd done a few planned shots I wasn't happy with, that was literally a desperate grab shot just behind my cottage more in hope than anything else It's one of those days when the light is changing minute by minute.

Super-corny safety: Improbably twins ...

The reason: It's been snowing heavily the whole day. Around my home, it's just above(!) freezing, and everything, including the snow that's still falling, ist dripping wet; I tried using the camera, but it got wet immediately, and since GX9 isn't weather-sealed (it really isn't - the microphone holes are on top, and the tilting EVF has lots of points of ingress for water), I had to get out of the snow quickly. So, what to do? Well, the Sofort and Classic Neo 90 are ready to be taken on a round of side-by-side shooting (soon - not in this weather!), so I figured they'd do as well as anything else.

I'll have to put up with these conditions until tomorrow afternoon, it appears. I'll try for a different kind of indoor shot tomorrow - with different subject matter, I hope.

It is hard to tell in this image, but daffodils are sprouting around the base of the foreground tree. Just in time for the polar vortex.

My entry today partially violates the concept of a 'Single' photograph - because in taking it I realized the only way it would work, is as a series of two, inter-related images. To give credit where credit is due, the idea for this (these!) image (images) was inspired by Matt's entry for today, Day 14 - of his Instax camera - which made me realize I haven't used my own Instax for too long. Then I remembered I currently have a 'pack' of black & white instant film in my Instax - and I thought it might be cool both to photograph my Instax - just as I was taking an 'instant photo' of myself - and then take a 2nd photo... of the finished instant photo produced by my Instax.

Re-reading the preceding paragraph, it sort of makes sense to me; I hope it's not too complicated to follow. But, an image is worth a thousand complicated explanatory words --- so here is what I came up with:

First, my photo of my Instax, just after taking the instant-photo of myself photographing it (you can see the instant film, reversed, protruding from one side of the camera)--

And second, my photo of the instant photo itself - of myself photographing the Instax.

Whew.
Kind of a fun way to waste a few minutes, regardless.
