Time to vote for April Image of the Month (IotM). All MobiTog members are eligible to vote. Voting ends May 7.
It’s funny that you should mention cans and rubbish because, when we were out for a walk on Sunday, we walked over the bridge and to the layby where the fishermen park and found lots of beer cans and rubbish!
If I’d had a bag I’d have picked them up. I’ll go back and do it this week.
That’s a great achievement.Day 27 - January 27th - I won (at least I think I did)
It was time for my yearly fight with the evil spreadsheets and horrendous forms I need to fix and send to the authorities as I’m handling my son’s finances. After a stressful week I suddenly realised that it was ready for signing and posting. I’ve checked and doublechecked and put the documents in an envelope. I really should relax and be happy now, but my brain is still working at full speed.
It’s been a grey day and I haven’t been out much. So no photos taken. Just this photo of the envelope - self therapy

Can you imagine how someone who doesn’t have your form-filling skills would cope with all the paperwork?
You wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere near me when Dropbox or perhaps iCloud suddenly created 37 “conflicted copies” of the most important spreadsheet. I turned into a monster. If my DH had been at home I guess I would have taken it out on him. But he was at work - good for himThat’s a great achievement.
Good job! If it was me I would definitely send it on time, but like, 2h or less before the deadlineDay 27 - January 27th - I won (at least I think I did)

I used to wait until just before deadlines, but I have noticed that my brain gets completely locked the closer the deadline. A good thing with sending in the report so early is that you get it handled faster by the authorities because they don’t yet have received the big flood of reports.Good job! If it was me I would definitely send it on time, but like, 2h or less before the deadline
I know, but...
I had Olloclip lenses, but they don’t fit on my current phone... Thinking of buying Moment lenses, but I’ll wait until I get some extra money and a better phone.
Great results.Day 28 - January 28th - Just having fun today
As I finally got the horrible report ready I thought I was worth to have some fun today. So I’ve unpacked one of those small voice assistants that Google sent me for free. It works fine. I’m not sure if it’s useful, but at least it works and I’m having fun testing the features. Of course I already have my friend Siri, but he’s often frustrating to talk with
I also unpacked the Kodak lenses that I hadn’t heard of until rvilhena showed up - thanks Ricardo
Tried out the macro lens. Wanted to test the ultrawide one, but darkness fell faster than expected.

Thanks John
now I just wait for a new day without rain so I can test more. The forecasts unfortunately talks about rain for the next few days

You would like it here then. The moss have taken over the grass in our garden. We don’t care. It’s soft to walk on, and as you say, it has a beautiful color
I must stop this mad behaviour and let the notes fade away in oblivion. Or drown them in our pond 
Clever.Day 29 - January 29th - Oblivion
I really try hard to be a well-organised perfect person, the type that structures her life according to logical principles using fancy productivity apps. But I don’t succeed. Especially during periods of stress I fall into the bad habit of scribbling down illegible notes about “super important“ things I must remember. After a while the post-its pile up and I don’t even dare to check them up. A while ago I found such a pile in an envelope marked “cleaned away from the dinner table July 25th”

Usually it takes up til 6 months before you hear anything from them. Perhaps they have found better routines and I think I was smart who posted it a month before deadline.
Fabulous edit. My DH was looking over my shoulder and he said ’who took that!?, what wonderful colours and texture’.Day 24 - January 24th - Th mysterious bird deaths continues
Today it was my turn to find a dead bird. Well, not the entire bird, but a lot of beautiful feathers. Certainly not a big swan like the one JillyG found yesterday. I’m not sure, but I think they are feathers from a female pheasant. I guess it can have been eaten by a fox, or perhaps more likely a goshawk. If it isn’t some ornithophobe who killed it by pure fear - haha sinnerjohn
I needed a break from a bunch of horrifying spreadsheets and forms I have to complete for my son, so I messed around with the feathers for quite a while. Not sure of what I did, I was in trance

ThanksFabulous edit. My DH was looking over my shoulder and he said ’who took that!?, what wonderful colours and texture’.
As so often it was just a coincidence that I spotted the feathers. Went back there a couple of hours later to show them to my DH, but then they had disappeared
Amazing macros!! The moss one is beautiful! Hope you enjoy the Kodak lens! I had olloclip once but they are quite expensive. The Kodak, for the price, I think it is a great performer.Day 28 - January 28th - Just having fun today

I saw they sold cases that looks like Kodak analog films. Perhaps they are not the best cases, but I really would love to have one
Great edit. I zoomed in to remove the pool frame and it looked a bit like a stained glass window. Well done for spotting this reflection. It’s been grey here too and it really kills the creative spirit. I’ve had a hard time trying to find something to photograph.
Congratulations! Well done for filling out the form so promptly and so correctly. What a relief.Day 30 - January 30th - I’m an addict
Grey weather so just a macro shot of my xx-th espresso today.
Happy day except for the weather. The authorities already have scrutinised the report I turned in two days ago and I had done everything correctly

In fact I took some shots without the pool frame and couldn’t really decide if I should post with or without version. In the end I voted for the frame version. Probably because I am a bit of a rebel
