# 344 Vill in! – Let me in! (85/365)

Han är mycket försynt, Totti, men uppsynen kan man inte ta fel på. Vill in! Om han får stirra tillräckligt länge utan att bli upptäckt skäller han uppfordrande.

He is very timid, Totti, but this look is unmistakable. Let me in! If I don’t see him and he has to wait long enough … he starts barking persistently.

WPC: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is something you learn to see if you haven’t got this ”seeing” from the start. I believe that the more photos you take – and study other photographers’ works – the easier you will find your own ”seeing” of what looks best. Then it doesn ‘t have to follow any rules at all…really.

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

# 221 Piggar – Spikes (83/365)

Min största begonia kommer som stickling från Ryssland. Ingen vet något om ursprungsland, men enligt mitt Bonniers stora Bo med blommor borde den kunna vara en Begonia manicáta från Mexico.

My most spectacular begonia came as a cutting from Russia many years ago. Nobody knew its real origin. According to my big flower dictionary – Bonniers stora Bo med blommor (Live with flowers) the plant might be a Begonia manicáta from Mexico.

This is a leaf seen from under – filled with tiny spikes.

# 322 Typer – Types (80/365)

Sonen studerar grafisk design och är intresserad av det genuina hantverket. För honom var detta besök mycket stimulerande (och verkligen för mig också, såsom varande bok/pappers/språk-freak. Vi njöt båda ett par timmar här.

Dessa stora typer låg i en av de gamla maskinerna.

As my son is into graphic design, he is also very interested in the old ways of printing and loves everything thoroughly crafted.These big types were not handled every day.

På samma maskin ( 78) sitter denna gigantiska fjäder på högersidan – säkert metern hög och kanske en decimeter i diameter.
