Day 30 - Back whence we came

Chopping Board - The Return of the Rings
Ok, well they never actually visited in the first place. The chopping board did, but the title wasn't half as catchy, neither was The Return of the Dough Cutters

Day 29 - Squeezing one in

Just a juicer

Day 28 - Going Spiral

It's getting near the end and things are just spiralling out of control...
...and I still can't choose between these two

Day 27 - Four square and seven years ago...

Ok, so I'm still in the running :)
(I obviously knew that all along and was just seeing who was awake - well done, Craig!)

And ok, so I'm no Abe Lincoln, but here's four score I mean squares.

Day 26 - Screw you, Cork

Another silhouette shot today. I nearly bottled it though...

Day 25 - Strip tease

Now that I've caught your attention...

 

Alternate shot

Day 24 - Castellated Nuts

For those who don't know these nuts have castellations in them to allow the insertion of a split pin so that the nut cannot unscrew itself by vibrations.

Day 23 - Oh the Fusilli of it all!

Is it just me or do I have a pasta theme running through a lot of my contests/challenges?
Well here's another one

Day 22 - Air heads

These little guys are crimps that you generally find on the end of air hoses and the like. I added a couple of texture layers to it too.

(By the way, the gauge that you were all guessing the other day is an engine compression test gauge, which tests the cylinders in an engine to see if they have got the correct compression)

Day 21 - Spanner in the works

Does what it says on the toolbox.

Day 20 - Glassware

Another quick one, today, sorry

Day 19 - Don't Fret

Just the soundhole of a guitar.

Day 18 - Rusty

Remember my piggy planter? Well this is the end (the bottom) that I cut off to make the planter. It's supposed to be a flower type thing, and the rust looks lovely when lit by the late afternoon sun.

Day 17 - What a headache!

Why are there no Aspirins in the jungle?
Because the parrots eat em all  :)

Day 16 - Spend a penny

Don't worry - this is Safe For Work!
I couldn't decide which of these to use, so I'm going to post them both
Penny

 And Pennies

Day 15 - Piping Hot!

Believe it or not, there is no glass in this shot. It's a (macro of a) copper pipe joint - a T-piece. The light is coming in from the side and reflecting inside giving the strange looking glass effect! And no, there's no water in it either.

Day 14 - Orange

Just a quick orange for today. Sorry no puns :(

Day 13 - Gauge the Pressure

Ok, so it's a pressure gauge, but extra points if you can guess what specific purpose it's designed for.
Answers on a postcard please.

Day 12 - Don't be a complete Aerosol all your life!

Birds eye view of an aerosol (Teak oil for the garden furniture if you really must know)

Day 11 - Top That

Ok, so who noticed my subtle transition to circles with yesterday's shot? I thought it was pretty clever, but I would wouldn't I?

It's Saturday night and I need a beer or two.

Day 10 - New Direction

My shapes theme is heading in a new direction now. In fact it's going round in circles from now on.

Day 9 - Fridge Magnet

An attractive little magnet, I'm sure you'll agree.

I decided not to give it a square crop as I liked the shadow at the side too much.

Day 8 - Switched off

I'm a little light on the puns today, sorry.
(It's the back of a light switch facia , if you don't recognise it)

Day 7 - Veni, Video, Vici

I came, I saw, I taped it.

Day 6 - Leggo my Lego

Just using this to build up my portfolio

Day 5 - Very tacky shot

And the puns keep coming...

Day 4 - I'm dust not a big fan...

A dusty computer cooling fan. What else can I say?

Day 3 - Malted Wheaties

Squares within squares within squares

These little blighters are a type of breakfast cereal and, if you've tasted them, you will agree they are probably also a type of cardboard.

Day 2 - Welder

Obviously when I said 'Squares' I meant 'Rectangles', but you understood that didn't you :D

I proudly give you my trusty old welder. A tool no real man should be without!

Day 1 - Chopping Board

A simple one to start one (bonus point if you can guess where you may have seen the knife before)

New 30 Day challenge

Today is the start of another 30 day challenge.
My theme (at the moment) is Shapes. I may try for Squares for the first week followed by different shapes each week. I hope to have an alternate set of portraits if I have the time/models.
