Earlier on this week things had calmed down enough (we are in the process of selling our current flat and moving to a small town outside of Edinburgh) for me to take some random photos using my macro lens and off-camera flash.

Only four pictures spoke out enough to me to placed on Flickr, in fact all of them were of two objects very close to my heart (the full set can be found here).

The first picture is of the purple leather buttonhole that my wife (MrsPurpleduck) got me for our wedding.

The second picture is of the inside plate of The Hobbit printed by The Folio society, who produce extremely well bound and printed copies of books. This was a first anniversary present from my wife.
