Salford, 2nd June 2020
You can make all kinds of garment from this
A Cardigan, a Hoodie, a Hat or a Scarf
Reaction to their creation – from the kids – a smile
Not forgetting the family cat who’s trying to catch the ball around the room
Tag: Ball
I
Building blocks of different shape and colour
Teach all sorts of useful skill
And its lots of fun when they fall over
II
They might call you a marvel of language
but you’ve got to engage with the locals
if you want to order your lunch
III
Your eye is the best judge
but don’t be disheartened
if that pear looks like a plum
add a peach to the fruitbowl instead
IV
Picking a subject
taking a shot
if you’re not happy with your shot
there’s always the delete button
or perhaps you could edit it at home ?
V
Yellow tennis ball
perfect thing for practicing
reflex actions
catching out in the field
(The red cork ball – saved for match day)

The Orb rested on its spot
as in a moment, the image came into view
Images forming – like magic
colours red , green, yellow and blue
captured in a moment
by the little glass ball

Final Whistle
#fowc #referee #sport #football #rules #ball
It’s a funny old game is Football
You walk for miles down roads and up stairs
to get to those golden ticketed chairs –
then as players take to the field
you wait for the referee to yield –
the man in the middle – you await his call
and for stars on the pitch to start kicking the ball.
Then as it does,
and ball travels back
a flag or a whistle stops the attack
and you lament the official – in yellow blue or black
But in his defence – he follows the rules
and his fellows know their stuff – they’re no fools
So when whistle is signalled and games underway
They’re there to ensure there’s a bit of fair play.
And when defender tackles striker,
and he goes in far too hard.
The Man in the middle gives warning
with a bright yellow coloured card.
And player knows better, to look out instead
as the last thing he wants to see is red!
And when the match is over,
He whistles out to all…
“The match time is now finished –
That’s the last kick of the ball!”
For years now, people have been
ranting over the amount of packaging an item is wrapped in.
a thing they need to consider is where it’s
going to. There’s a lot of movement in a delivery van, and
if the owners don’t want their precious vases turned into a jigsaw puzzle
lifting the cargo will take a little bit of t.l,c.
equally, it will remind the removals team not to use them as a rugby ball

Lighting the dark
Tuesday 10th April 2018
It glows
lighting up the darkness
for all who seek the light
colours brighten the morning sky
produced by insects that do fly
up the trees and plants around
feeding on nectar, without making a sound
to others they brighten a darkened day
but they’re happy to just fly around and play.

Salford Via Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester
(a tale of a cricket match…by inky)
A summers day
a Pavilion tea
watching the locals
its 100 for 3
The bowler holds the ball
of cork in his hand
Field placement set –
his tactics all planned
And Batsman on Green
waits for ball to be bowled
part of this game
thats ages old
No test match stars here
there up the Manc Road
but crowd is excited
as action explodes
Bowler Takes run up
from village hall clock
Batsman Prepared
solid as a rock
Ball hits the ground,
and it bounces in the air
Batsman clips ball
to the boundary, square
And Wicketkeeper yells
as fielders in a fix
trying to stop the cork ball
scoring a six
But , Alas ball descends
to the boundary , flat
and the sound of the “Third Man”
who shouts out “OWZAT!!!”

Today at BASICs photography session, we’ve had a bit of a Musical theme, using objects we’ve used before together with some musical notation.
Sheets of Music were used by the group to create some wonderful imagery. everything from rings and chains to coloured backgrounds.
Some shots required close up photography or zoom, whilst others required angles or distance. Once again, I used my Bridge camera to create the shots , and we used overhead lighting to get the best of the effects. I’m happy with the shots I took in the session
