#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

Just what we need here, the weather is mild, windy... not very 'seasonal'... Snow gives it that extra 'je ne sais quoi?', I think it is especially the SILENCE that comes with snow?

It creates a sense of peace?

Line or circle?

I have shoots where they give me things to photograph and never want it back, that means I can do my free photography when I have time, and after that, it goes to the charity shop.

Sprinkle a bit of festive angle-dust around you, you'll feel great!

 

Don't ever let the child in you die!

 

I wish you all the very best, and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments and faves. Very much appreciated.

A stunningly beautiful flower, exotic, well to us, not in the countries where they grow naturally. I always say it, one man's exotic is another man's 'daily'... lol

I again tried to photograph them in the 'style’ that I love so much, a bit moody, dramatic, theatrical, playing with the light and dof.

Over the years I photographed thousands of flowers, with passion and joy, I never tire of them, hope you enjoy with me.

 

Another day, another flower, another lighting set-up, another composition.

 

Portrait of a Strelitzia reginae also called Bird of Paradise.

A stunningly beautiful flower, exotic, well to us, not in the countries where they grow naturally.

I always say it, one man's exotic is another man's 'daily'... lol

Strelitzia reginae is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa (the Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal), where I saw them in nature.

Common names include crane flower or bird of paradise, though these names are also collectively applied to other species in the genus Strelitzia.

Its scientific name commemorates the British queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

The plant grows to 2 m tall, with large, strong leaves 25–70 cm long and 10–30 cm broad, produced on petioles up to 1 m long.

The leaves are evergreen and arranged in two ranks, making a fan-shaped crown. The flowers stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks.

 

The hard, beak-like sheath from which the flower emerges is termed the spathe.

This is placed perpendicular to the stem, which gives it the appearance of a bird's head and beak; it makes a durable perch for holding the sunbirds which pollinate the flowers.

The flowers, which emerge one at a time from the spathe, consist of three brilliant orange sepals and three purplish-blue or white petals.

Two of the blue or white petals are joined together to form an arrow-like nectary.

 

Thank you, M, (*_*)

no, Brugge is only recently more famous for chocolate and beer, LOL.

It used to be for lace, the swans, its many bridges, the narrow streets and the cobblestones.

The petals are so luscious and voluptuous!

 

The Peony is indigenous to China, but was imported to Japan so early it is difficult to be certain when the transplantation occurred.

It is a perennial plant with single flowers of white, red or pink which are born in late spring.

The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.

However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed.

In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.

 

THANK you for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_PINK_🎆

Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns.

Carnations are often worn on special occasions, especially at weddings.

At the turn of the century dandies would not leave the house without a white or red carnation in the buttonhole of their suit.

With the end of this tradition and the fact that carnations are so easily cultivated and grown, the flower has lost some of its popularity.

Although apparently in the UK it is still the most sold flower…

However, carnations are not only beautiful and long lasting flowers, they also send a message.

When you receive a red carnation bouquet, it means, "My heart aches for you" and when you receive white carnations the sender is saying: "I am still available."

For the most part, carnations express love, fascination, and distinction.

I wanted a bit of drama here and lots of detail in those 'feathered' beauties...

In the Negev Desert, which is a stone desert in Southern Israel, you have a part, with different coloured canyons, the Pink canyon, the Red canyon, the White canyon, some of them in Timna, where you also find the ruins of the place where King Solomon had his copper mines.

It is an awesome place, hot and silent, with some of the strangest rock-formations I ever photographed.

It was quite a climb down, with all our equipment, it was out of season, we were by ourselves and one evening, the sun, as usual, dropped down quickly, taking with it the warmth, we had waited for the sweet light and on our return almost got lost.

It is a fabulous environment, bright light and deep shadows, again what hits me is the absolute silence, the beauty and the sense of the deeper you go, the more you go back in time, a feeling of eternity came over me...

From jagged, dark granite to the softer coloured sandstone and limestone, these distinctions offer a delightful picture of the desert terrain.

To see them go to the previous separate

A Slinky is a toy pre-compressed helical spring invented by Richard James.

 

It can perform a number of tricks, including travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum.

I kept seeing new angles, I had such fun with them. LOL

It was Poppy time again, Iceland Poppies.

Three white Poppies, so dainty, so feminine.

   

Papaver nudicaule , the Iceland poppy, is a boreal flowering plant. Native to sub-polar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia (but not in Iceland).

 

A boreal ecosystem is an ecosystem with a subarctic climate in the Northern Hemisphere.

 

Iceland poppies are hardy but short-lived perennials, often grown as biennials, that yield large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, curved stems.

 

They were first described by botanists in 1759. The wild species blooms in white or yellow. All parts of this plant are likely to be poisonous, containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids.

WHERE ELSE but YORKSHIRE?

 

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AbFav_ROCKS_💎

 

Dry stone or loose stone walls are commonly used as field boundaries in the highlands, such as the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.

A dry-stone wall is a wall that is made up of stones skill-fully placed one on top of the other with no binding agent to hold them together.

The wall is held up by a special construction method and by its own weight, and the stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip.

Containing sheep in specific fields is the main reason for the existence of dry stone walls.

Also, they are a thing of beauty, they last much longer than 'wet' walls, and they're safer than fences when it comes to herding in wildlife.

Besides, what else is there to do with all those stones cluttering up the countryside?

The moors are bleak, the higher you go the less vegetation there is, nothing to stop the wind, wet walls would not stand a chance, but now the wind just ‘whistles’ through the stones!

 

Wishing you all a beautiful day and thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

The marble quarry in Orosei, Sardinia.

There is some activity and a dusty place to leave the car.

I climb up for a better view.

The massive machines look like mini toys!

THIS IS a closer take, you can see what I mean!

The sheer scale of the quarry is breath taking.

This 50,000 m2 site produces 60,000 tons per year of the finest beige marble in Italy.

Workers use diamond wire saws to make the vertical cuts in the marble blocks and chain cutters are used for horizontal cuts.

Hope this brings a bit of joy again, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

So, lets put our minds to it... yes flowers talk to me and I hear them with my eyes, LOL

 

How this series came about: in the shop, the flower stall, in one of the buckets, on the bottom, one pack of Tulips, no water.... all bent!

 

I immediately saw the potential.

 

Many images passed my minds eye.

 

I had to keep them cool, so they kept their shape, super enjoyed photographing them, making the images come true!

Nicely SYNCHRONIZED!!!

 

Once in water....

They straightened, the fun was over, now I have the photo's as sweet memories, to share with you.

I walked around with my macro lens!

 

It was dreamlike!

 

Wisteria are the jewels of the botanic world; easy to look after, very long lived, vigorous, and simply magnificent when in flower.

The usual Wisteria you find on front walls of English cottages is Wisteria sinensis, which must be 7-8yrs old before it will flower.

Also popularly called 'purple rain'?

Wisteria (also spelled Wistaria or Wisteria) is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing vines native to the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan.

Some species are popular ornamental plants, especially in China and Japan.

A fun bit of info here:

Wisteria vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counterclockwise round any available support.

They can climb as high as 20 m above the ground and spread out 10 m laterally.

The world's largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size and weighing 250 tons, planted in 1894 of the Chinese lavender variety!

Brought these, as they looked ready, only when I looked through the viewer did I spot the bumble bee, it stayed there the whole time, I thought is was dead, but no, it was just gorging on the pollen.

 

After the shoot, I put it outside and it flew off in freedom!

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae.

 

Prickles occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves.

These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.

 

Interesting bit: Carduus is the Latin term for a thistle (hence cardoon, and chardon in French), and Cardonnacum is the Latin word for a place with thistles.

This is believed to be the origin of name of the Burgundy village of Chardonnay, Saône-et-Loire, which in turn is thought to be the home of the famous Chardonnay grape variety.

So welcome in December, the fragrance of orange, cinnamon and Star anise, then add some pine from the tree, maybe some candle-wax and all set? LOL

 

* Star anise is a star-shaped, dark brown pod that contains a pea-size seed in each of its eight segments.

Native to China and Vietnam, star anise comes from a small evergreen tree.

Its flavour is slightly more bitter than that of regular anise seed.

 

* Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that is used in both sweet and savoury foods.

Cinnamon has been known from remote antiquity. It was imported to Egypt as early as 2000 BC.

Cinnamon was so highly prized among ancient nations that it was regarded as a gift fit for monarchs and even for a god: a fine inscription records the gift of cinnamon and cassia to the temple of Apollo at Miletus.

Though its source was kept mysterious in the Mediterranean world for centuries by the middlemen, who handled the spice trade, to protect their monopoly as suppliers, cinnamon is native to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Malabar Coast of India, and Burma.

Lowers blood sugars

 

* The "sweet orange", which is the kind that are most often eaten today, grew first in Asia but now grows in many parts of the world.

Oranges are round orange-coloured fruit that grow on a tree which can reach 10 metres (33 ft) high.

Orange trees have dark green shiny leaves and small white flowers with five petals. The flowers smell very sweet which attracts many bees.

An orange has a tough shiny orange skin.

Inside, the fruit is divided into "segments", which have thin tough skins that hold together many little sections with juice inside.

There are usually ten segments in an orange, but sometimes there are more.

The colour orange takes its name from the fruit.

The word "orange" is unusual because it is one of only a few English words that does not rhyme with anything.

When in bloom, Primula vialii is easy to distinguish from other primroses.

 

Its stout stalk is crowded with hundreds of tiny flowers of red calyces and blue-violet corollas.

 

The flowers are tightly packed on the stem.

 

The blossom has a bottle brush appearance.

 

This primrose has distinctive flowers, unlike any other in the genus.

 

It's rare to find this plant in its native haunts, as it comes close, if not already, to being an endangered species.

 

Pere Delavay originally discovered the species.

So very inviting and to me... irresistible, the shapes and colours so glorious!!!

Leucospermum (Pincushion, Pincushion Protea) is a genus of about 50 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, native to Zimbabwe and South Africa, where they occupy a variety of habitats, including scrub, forest, and mountain slopes.

They are evergreen shrubs (rarely small trees) growing to 0.5-5 m tall.

The leaves are spirally arranged, tough and leathery.

The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences, which have large numbers of prominent styles, which inspires the name.

 

I can absolutely see why this is called the 'PINCUSHION' PROTEA.

The national flower of South-Africa.

Die enige eg SUIKERBOSSIE (ZA).

 

Protea flowers normally remain closed, (with the style curved, and the stigma within the mass of tepals), until an insect, bird, or rodent disturbs the flower.

At that point, the flower snaps open, the style straightens and the stigma is held some distance above the bloom.

This is what happens with imagination... I had eggs, a basket, some straw and feathers and a stretch of tule., put all together: result!

 

Happy to have some of the child still in my heart and mind!

 

Wishing you well and stay safe!

   

Have a great day and thank you, M, (*_*)

Dry stone or loose stone walls are commonly used as field boundaries in the highlands, such as the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.

A dry-stone wall is a wall that is made up of stones skill-fully placed one on top of the other with no binding agent to hold them together.

The wall is held up by a special construction method and by its own weight, and the stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip.

Containing sheep in specific fields is the main reason for the existence of dry stone walls.

Also, they are a thing of beauty, they last much longer than 'wet' walls, and they're safer than fences when it comes to herding in wildlife.

Besides, what else is there to do with all those stones cluttering up the countryside?

The moors are bleak, the higher you go the less vegetation there is, nothing to stop the wind, wet walls would not stand a chance, but now the wind just ‘whistles’ through the stones!

 

Wishing you all a beautiful day and thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

Yep, made out of DUVEL bottles, at DUVELARIUM, above the Historium, the museum on the Market square Brugge in Belgium.

 

Duvel is an awesome and powerful Belgian beer…

So that can justify a visit alone!

Aside from that, and without beer in mind, the Brugge Duvelorium is a beautiful cafe that is very welcoming to photographers (especially if you buy a coffee or such) and has a great balcony view of the Market Square.

 

Duvel Moortgat Brewery (Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat) is a Flemish family-controlled brewery founded in 1871.

 

Its strong golden pale ale, Duvel, is exported to more than forty countries.

 

Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Or SEMAFLORES? LOL

 

The name Iris is Greek and it means rainbow for its many colours. However, most irises are shades of blue or purple.

Lately I have seen them white, yellow and mix of yellow and white.

The majority of irises that we see today are hybrids of the originals.

 

The iris has been around for many centuries, and many artists have chosen to paint them.

There are several famous paintings of the flowers. From 1888 to 1890, Van Gogh painted at least four paintings of irises.

Monet painted "Iris" sometime between 1914 and 1917.

Not only is the iris a beautiful flower, but also they have several uses.

As a live plant they are used as a water purifier.

They are ingredients in some perfumes, homemade toothpaste, pottery and herbal medicines.

 

The stylised iris, fleur-de-lis, descends from the white iris which is native to Florence, Italy and which grew even in its city walls.

This white iris, displayed against a red background, became the symbol of Florence until the Medici family, to signal a change in political power, reversed the colours making the white one red and setting in motion a centuries-long breeding program to hybridise a red iris.

Catherine de Medici carried this symbol of Florence to Paris when she married the king of France where this most famous of irises acquired its nickname, fleur-de-lis.

The iris has been associated with France as Louis VII adopted it as a symbol in the 12th Century.

 

In Flowers'-language: Iris means faith; hope; wisdom and valour

I love looking closer how different flowers grow.

 

These tiny flowers are maybe 3 mm and altogether they for these clusters gathered on the branches and when the shrub is in full bloom it looks like it is snow-covered.

A joy in the morning, seen from my kitchen window.

Leucospermum (Pincushion, Pincushion Protea) is a genus of about 50 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, native to Zimbabwe and South Africa, where they occupy a variety of habitats, including scrub, forest, and mountain slopes.

They are evergreen shrubs (rarely small trees) growing to 0.5-5 m tall.

The leaves are spirally arranged, tough and leathery.

The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences, which have large numbers of prominent styles, which inspires the name.

 

I can absolutely see why this is called the 'PINCUSHION' PROTEA.

The national flower of South-Africa.

Die enige eg SUIKERBOSSIE (ZA).

 

Protea flowers normally remain closed, (with the style curved, and the stigma within the mass of tepals), until an insect, bird, or rodent disturbs the flower.

At that point, the flower snaps open, the style straightens and the stigma is held some distance above the bloom.

Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring.

This lovely blue is so very cheerful in the winter-awakening garden, THIS IS THE TRUE BLUE OF THESE TINY LITTLE FLOWERS!

The common name for the genus is Grape Hyacinth, the name Muscari comes from the Greek muschos, musk, referring to the scent.

Purple was the colour worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial colour worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops.

Similarly in Japan, the colour is traditionally associated with the Emperor and aristocracy.

 

Phalaenopsis Orchid, known as the Moth Orchid, abbreviated Phal in the horticultural trade, is an orchid genus of approximately 60 species.

Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular orchids in the trade, through the development of many artificial hybrids.

It is native to southern China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.), New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Queensland.

 

They bloom in their full glory for several weeks.

In the home, the flowers may last two to three months or even longer, here I noticed.

and on a rainy, misty day.

Far from depressing us, we so enjoyed the mood it created!

We were on our way back from the Highlands, on a winding narrow road, when between the wall of ageing leaves I saw some water glistening, a bit further, a parking area!!

First thing I see is GOLD ABOVE THE LOCH…

We discover Loch Lubnaig, a nice spot for a break, in between two showers, we are to get a lot of images.

 

I'll NEVER stop being awed by the beauty I encounter on my travels

Here, on the right banks the colour is still mostly green ever so slightly turning yellow, also Autumn!

It is serenely quiet across the water, and nothing is rippling the surface, so the reflections are smooth.

It starts to rain more, but it passes quickly, on the little beach we photograph from, there are trees which give us some protection.

Loch Lubnaig is a small freshwater loch near Callander in the Stirling council area, Scottish Highlands.

It lies in the former county of Perthshire.

It is part of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.

It is around 5 km long, and has depths of up to 44.5 metres.

The loch nestles in the space between Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich.

Fed by the River Balvaig from the north and drained by the Garbh Uisge to the south, Loch Lubnaig offers fishing from the shore.

 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Le Cygne, or The Swan, is the thirteenth movement of The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-SaÎns.

Le cygne is often referred to as The Dying Swan, made famous and 'interpreted' like this by Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova.

This piece features a solo cello (my favourite instrument) in tenor key (clef) and two pianos.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I'm sure you'll let me know what you think?
