Mum loved ducks, and they still remind me of her. I take pics of them and smile as I remember her. Yesterday we stopped on the way home at Tebay for a cuppa and watched the duckings. Happy moments for today’s TDC.

A cinquain is a five-line poem. Line one has one word and is the title. Line two describes the title in two words. Line three uses three words to express action. Line four uses four words to express a feeling. Line five uses one word that restates the title. Here’s mine for TDC5305
Hot
So hot
Very, very hot
This is too hot
Melting!

Austin Kleon weighs his notebooks before and after finishing them. What silly rituals do you have to make your work seem more like play?
Here’s mine – I make pretty icons for my To Do lists and colour them in as I complete each task

For today’s TDC I created this poster. Apparently it’s HAL, but the reference is lost to me as I haven’t seen the film. (Not even my beloved Daily Create is going to make me start watching films! Look, I get it – you all think I am missing lots of cultural references, but I have tried, and I just don’t watch after the first few minutes.)

July weather is unpredictable, from sweltering heatwaves to torrential rain. I take my chances where I can and step outside to enjoy my garden. At the moment my geraniums are glorious – shaded from the worst of the heat by the forsythia above, spreading out across the garden. Today they are shining in the sun.
On a sunny day
Flowwers turn their faces up
Basking in the light

Today’s TDC asked us to use digital erasing to remove a phone from an image. Now, once upon a time this took skilz, but with the new tools in my Android phone it’s far too easy. I took a pic of myself holding my phone and automatically loaded up GIMP to edit it out. But then I remembered the Android ‘magic eraser’ so I used that instead. I will say that it sort of upsets me that it is so easy to do – but it consoles me that it’s not perfect – the corner of the picture it’s filled in doesn’t actually look like that.
If I’d had more time I’d have done more with the cut out image, but it’s a work day and I had a long list of things to get done. So here it is. Original, GIMP edited and Android edit.
