I lost my black velvet jacket about 30 years ago. It'll have to be socks if I get my USB ports working again before the end of the month.

Haworthia flower stalk so long that the plant had to be too close to the background even with my 28mm lens in the limited space I usually use when photographing plants

After a long day getting my new laptop to behave, I may have lost the will to make a proper background for this photo. I couldn't work out how to get any background beind my very long Apteranthes joannis so here is my Cynanchum (née Sarcostemma) vanlessenii:
