This is my idea of a lazy day. Straight after breakfast I was out of the kitchen door in light drizzle to photograph these seeded grass stems through the post and rail fence around my cottage and left at the edge of the meadow where Graham's mower couldn't reach, so I walked about 5 yards! Now there's time to prepare my slow cooked curry ready for this evening.

This is the movie theater in the town I grew up. It was closed long ago and brought back to life as any type of numerous shops, and now a church it seems. Sad really. I could go to a movie with 50 cents and get a coke and popcorn.

Some of us are afflicted with a subset of GAS that I call UBO – Ukulele Building Obsession. I have become particularly interested in cigar box instruments in recent months. I’ve never been a cigar smoker, but many of those boxes have attractive graphics, like these tiny Sam’l Davis 1886 boxes I received yesterday. Compare them in size to the trapezoidal tenor uke body, which is also cigar box inspired.
Not all cigar boxes are constructed in a way that makes them acoustically suitable. My first CBU has nice graphics, but is not as musically resonant as I would like. The 1886 boxes shown here are known for being well constructed of top quality woods. The great Hawaiian luthier Sam Kamaka, Jr. (now in his 90s) made twelve ukuleles from a lot of sixty Davis 1886 boxes he was given. Displaying Mr. Kamaka’s impeccable craftsmanship, his instruments are both beautiful and musically resonant. A rare sight on the used market, an authentic Kamaka 1886 ukulele will set one back around $2,000 USD, if not more. I plan to build a concert scale and soprano scale ukulele from these boxes.

Love the processing in your series.
The consistency of all of your images gives me the feel of a world where the sun is a different color temp.

@ajramirez Don't be too modest I'm really enjoying the light in all your images.
@mnhoj Thanks! Being forced to produce regularly, I discovered that parallel world in my backyard I never noticed before
