I'm still working on my old laptop, still using UFRaw. I have a couple more images from this batch to post and then I'll make the move. However, this is the last image of the jasione that I'll post - at least for now. They're still flowering, so its possible that I'll make some more images of them.
Another image of a jasione flower - this one is from earlier in its lifecycle than the previous post.
I've finally bought myself a new laptop, which I'm in the process of setting up. Its a much more powerful beast than the eight year old machine that I'm writing this on and this will probably be one of the last posts written on it.
I've installed RawTherapee on the new machine, so this will also be the swansong for UFRaw. It will be interesting to see what difference this new setup makes to the images.
PS: Thanks go to Ian Dart for the title of this post.
This is an image of a jasione flower. No, me neither. We have them growing in pots at the front of the house. I've no idea where they came from, I assume that my wife must have bought and planted them, quite possibly when I was present, but I have no memory of it.
They appear to have a fairly complex lifecycle - a blue flower morphs its shape a couple of times before developing into the green seed head which appears in this image.
I have a few images of the earlier phases, which I may post over the coming week.
