The flower of the cucumber by jamibann

The flower of the cucumber

I had to use my 50 mm lens yesterday for my shot of the day, because I had a panic that it had got lost in the move! I couldn't find it anywhere. Then realised gradually that I'd also 'lost' other camera kit - all my little people, my small tripod, my 50 mm lens, my crystal ball ... all packed in the same box. Well, after a couple of days of worry and search, I found it. Put away nicely in a new cupboard. Phew!

So, anyway, this is the flower on one of Hugh's cucumbers in our greenhouse. I thought it was rather lovely, and it felt good to use the 50 mm lens that I thought was lost for ever!

Off to visit my dad later today - now that I am nice and close to him and then I have a list as long as my arm to tackle. I got my stair carpet laid yesterday though, so much nicer than bare floorboards!

Glad you found your camera 'things'. You created a beautiful image.

Oh I know this panic... horrible feeling not knowing exactly where things are ... Great detail in this shot ...

It is always nice to find all that is lost. Are you now living in Scotland? Things look to be on the up for you at the moment. Rugby season starting soon. English rugby at a very low point. Make the most of it, it wont last.

Such a dear little flower for such an unwieldy vegetable (or is it s fruit?)

I rather like this little star... such a delicate little flower - and so glad the lost and found service is working ;-))

What an absolute fright. I like this little cucumber flower, many years since I saw one when my dad grew them.

@cutekitty Think it's a veg - I know I have several in my fridge, courtesy of my friend Hugh! Great in a gin and tonic!!! ;-)

Sounds like the moving-in process has its ups and downs - scary moment - but glad it didn't stay lost very long. Sure took a nice macro with it.

Great macro. I know you are relieved to have found your missing items. It seems things always get misplaced in a move.
