And to whom the principle of ahimsa is a closed book that they refuse to open because it would make life more difficult for them.

Morning all, no teaching today as it’s Thursday. How’s the gob, @Cumberland ? Hope all is well up there with you and Wispa :)

Sewing with the old ladies and then first responding for the afternoon. Bloods steady and woke up on 5.0 just now so happy with that! Took a while yesterday to recover from the previous night’s Pod failure, was high most of the day. Ugh.

Currently battling with the official MiaoMiao app to get alarms etc on my levels. Since Spike went down, all the available apps etc are really basic. Amazing how much I’ve come to rely on my tech since I’ve had it. Bit worrying really!

Morning all you sailors and seamen ️happy navigating today.
I’m wondering, should I make a cake today? Chocolate brownie I think - the family call it naughty chocolate cake.

Wonderful news, let us know when we can celebrate FFV Day (Free From Virus Day, but feel free to substitute any other words as ‘appropriate’).

I had a lovely walk this morning and took a couple of photo's. The sun photo has a strange shape, but the flowers are beautifully spring like, it's a gorgeous day

Alien invasion?

If it wasn't visible to you, it'll be the light from the sun in the camera lens going in non-obvious directions. Lenses have a lot of layers, and although the light mostly goes in the direction you want it to (think your classic picture of the light in Galileo's telescope), at each junction a little might reflect off rather than going straight through, and that results in effects like the one you're seeing.

It's called lens flare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare

The classic image in sci-fi films of a sun, star, or other bright light sun appearing not as a point, but as a very wide horizontal thing, is actually an artefact of the lenses used for widescreen cinematography - and since people are so used to it, these days it's often faked if different lenses are being used :)

Giant jelly fish and it's coming to get us all :greedy::greedy:
Its the light from the sun hitting the camera lens and putting an image on the sensor....as @evilclive has said "lens flare"......can sometimes cause amazing results in photos. Nice photos BTW :)

Sensible lens explanations aside, I like the giant jellyfish idea :joyful:

Back home now, failed to stay on top of the BGs, gave up trying! But had a fantastic time skiing, great company, food and drink. My body is now broken, going to work tomorrow for a rest :facepalm:

Shocked to have seen knikki ‘vanished’ presumed gone, but glad to see him back!

I’ll have a proper catch up on the thread at work.

Night all.

Thanks @evilclive, beczuse of my cataracts and the Op a few years ago for a detached retina, I can't see very well in the sun, so I aim and click away. I have taken many photo's of the sun, wearing sunglasses on my old Smasung phone, but this is my first sun photo taken on my new Sony Experia, it's fascinating. I love the Jelly fish minor invasion lol
