That is the bird bath in my back garden. It actually gets quite a lot of use from my avian friends. I must set my tripod up somehow to get some bathing birds from my window but logistically that is not very practical. I will investigate further.
Excellent Fergus. Our bird bath gets visits as well from avian friends. Our cat prefers to drink from it rather than from his water bowl.

A feline drinking avian infused water - it makes purrfect sense to me Jeffrey  ;D

Nice. I had to look up Belleek, it looks good, supposedly they seem to stick to mainly white/beige + green colours ... there was even a guy here in DK selling an item on a second-hand website, dba.dk

My Owl is my favourite piece in my small Belleek collection. These are my illustrative shots of it that I took over the weekend....

This is an interpretative shot of my Owl. It is not how I necessarily see him. He is really my friend. Everything is not always as you see it or as it is presented to you....

I was looking to do something creative with beer bottle caps. I did not succeed.
I do not drink beer, honestly.
Perhaps I should try something with wine corks.  ;D

I think it's quite nice with the light/shadow play.

Don't know if a tower structure in close-up could be fun somehow. I don't have any.

Cheers. My imagination could get nothing from the tower structure because the caps were too dark. As you have noticed I was after the contrast between the light and dark. Perhaps with lighter coloured caps the tower may have worked. I will have to encourage the beer drinker in the family to get some  ;D

I was happier with this one....

Nice. They're beautiful flowers, we've got some in flower at the moment.

Olivier, the first is my favourite. Pic 1 could be from a horror movie and pic 2 from a blue movie. ;)

I had some friends who, years ago, fashioned a kind of a cork board out of corks from their favorite wine bottles.  Somehow or another they wired it together and use it to hold various keys and key chains.   ;D
