Does it still count as materialistic if the objects are beautiful and useful?

The black thing is a nightingale whistle I bought for my brother. You have to fill it with just the right amount of water. And that's his stone coaster and a scrabble mug I gave him too. And that's my lovely package from Joanne!

The light here is pretty nice I think.
I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow.

A wee experiment.

Also trying to make good use of my new tripod with photos of stars, long exposure weird ghosty water type shots (don't know if that's what they are oficially called) and this sort of thing too. Any other ideas?

 

Some photos from here (Abingdon and Oxford).

Some are from the cafe Jam Factory. And the Ashmolean museum. And some feathers from Port Douglas.

Nice colour theme happened by accident.

Today I sent off a package to Jo Coelho who is my partner for the Package Project. I forgot to take a photograph. So silly!
