#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

The petal of a parrot tulip, dropped off, floated slowly and was caught on the leaf.

 

Now I love images that are different, and this here truly captured my imagination!

Beyond the obvious! Love it!

 

Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.

 

Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

 

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

I love Ranunculus, they are back, how they 'warm' up and lighten our home and hearts, how beautiful, layered and colourfully bright they are...

They must be dancing to some mad music only they can hear!

Another of my 'creative' images, while I had everything out... I always experience that one idea brings on another and then I am feverishly working away, time flies and nothing goes fast enough... my actions can't follow my brain, tee hee, it's not easy being a 'creative', nor to live with one... day crosses into night, I forget to eat or drink, I'm in my own world.

 

Easter is upon us, with all the sweetness and brightness...

I had to be creative for a client and come up with different ideas, here are some of the more 'cockamamy' ones.

 

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

In my garden, this is the only plant I do not know the name of!

I bought it on the market, years ago, it had a lovely photo of how it would become, no name though... shows again how deceptive photos can be, LOL!

 

Anyway, it is not very big, very hardy, with insignificant small leaves, in late Spring... it grows insignificant little white flowers, mostly hidden under the leaves, in Summer it is ... just there?

 

Then comes Autumn, and the leaves turn on all the colours of the rainbow, for a few short weeks it becomes an ABSOLUTE focal point of attraction in the garden... pure GLORY... then it's gone again... till next year!

 

I thought I'd share this with you, bringing in a branch, in the studio I can really show you the glory.

 

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

This is a Dwarf Aquilegia,(Columbine/Granny's Bonnet) with the very appropriate name of RHUBARB and CUSTARD!

Aquilegia, also known as Columbine or Granny Bonnet, are spring flowering, old fashioned, cottage garden favourites.

Compact varieties make great rockery plants while taller varieties sit well among shrubs or in the dappled shade of an open woodland setting.

 

Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

So, some views from our room in Brugge, next to one of the most famous places and canals, and other places.

 

Brugge by day is beautiful, by night it becomes MAGIC.

 

Special lighting seems to take you back through the ages, the shadows protecting those who lived there.

That is when my imagination runs away with me again...

 

My city is always interesting, day or night.

Visited by lovers and people from all over the world.

 

The capital of West-Flanders.

The city where I was born!

the fox in our garden, a Swan feather blown into budding branches in Brugge, a book amongst bri-a-brac in Cape town, a strange clock on the beams, and finally the electric porcelain used by farmers.

 

Just things I gathered over the years, with different cameras and in different countries...

 

Some fun I do enjoy.

by Jacques Brel for the music lovers.

 

It is considered as "Brel's ultimate classic"

The lyrics "Moi, je t'offrirai des perles de pluie venues de pays où il ne pleut pas" ("I'll give you pearls of rain that come from lands where it does not rain") are sung to a theme borrowed from the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 by the composer Franz Liszt.

I had the good fortune of seeing him live and meeting him!

  

So in love they cannot imagine life without each other.

 

The red Gerbs are telling me that here.

Again, the flower gave the clues!

 

Have FUN, I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, faves.

Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

I am obsessed with light.

No matter what source.

This is the best advice that I can give any photographer.

Many shooters are more concerned with learning buttons, dials, and software than with learning to truly see light.

Yet, if you become a connaisseur of light, you’ll see opportunities for great shots that you did not see before.

Learn to SEE light and most likely, you will not make so many disappointing images.

The four types of light are : hard light, soft light, specular and diffused light.

Photography is “writing with light.”

There are five fundamental characteristics of light: Direction, Intensity, Color, Contrast, and Hardness.

THE LITTLE LANTERNS... PHYSALIS

#AbFav_MULTICOLOUR_🌈

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

   

PHYSALIS alkekengi or Chinese Lantern Plant, they are native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.

 

Popular for the papery bright-orange lantern pods that develop around the ripening fruit, these are often cut and used for Thanksgiving and Halloween arrangements.

Plants are aggressive spreaders, and best kept out of the perennial border so they don't take over.

Also can be grown in tubs.

Small white flowers appear in midsummer, over a bushy mound of coarse green leaves.

Pods are green at first, but should be harvested as soon as the orange colour develops, the leaves stripped then stems hung upside down to dry in a warm dark room.

 

Thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

High up the Yorkshire Moors, there is little else but sheep, ewes with their lambs.

A massive sign of Spring.

It is definitely NOT silent, the little ones keep losing mum, and mum keeps calling them.

Often they seem lost in this epic landscape.

 

I know it is traditional to eat lamb around Easter, but, really, how can they?

I mean when you see the little ones frolicking in the fields? AAAWWW

It is almost Mid Autumn, the trees are still dressed, the shops are gearing towards the sparkly season...

 

Some Autumn colours still around, fiery till the end!

 

The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)

Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.

They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe.

Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.

 

The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.

There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.

 

For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration.

A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.

 

The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.

 

Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

We were fortunate to share our life with our beautiful and quirky Border Collie, for 16 1/2 years.

His name was Picasso, because of his special markings (and those were our ‘painting days’) , Pica pour les amis.

 

At this point, he must have been about 3 years old, we also had a goldfish, not called Wanda LOL.

I cleaned the bowl each week and would decant the fish for a moment in this square vase, put it on the floor, because it was so heavy, to the delight of Pica, who could thus get close to this alien moving thing!

 

He would stand there, like wanting to play, yet just staring at it, jumping now and then when the fish made a sudden move.

Aaah I still miss him so very badly, only lots of memories left now and photographs of course.

I shot this on Hasselblad because that was the camera at hand, not really the right camera for a grab shot! But hey…

 

Most dogs love water, Pica not different, he loved chasing the gulls OFF the beach into the sea.

The boxer, on a hot HOT Summer's day joined the water games, loving it!

 

Thank you for viewing and all your comments, I appreciate them, Magda (*_*)

Can you tell that I love red?

It makes such a lovely happy accent in the kitchen.

 

These are also fantastic to work with in the non-stick pots and pans.

As I love being 'creative' in the kitchen these are definitely my kind of GADGETS, those that actually WORK and are properly helpful!

Favourites to work with.

More fun from studio Indigo.

#AbFav_LOVE_❤

 

With my imagination, I can see the word LOVE in there, LOL

 

For Valentine, everything is wrapped with shiny red ribbon.

 

Red, the colour of passion, red the colour most commonly associated with love, followed at a great distance by pink.

It the symbolic colour of the heart and the red rose, is closely associated with romantic love or courtly love and Saint Valentine's Day.

Red is the colour of celebration and ceremony.

A red carpet is often used to welcome distinguished guests.

Red, by a large margin, is the colour most commonly associated with seduction, sexuality, eroticism and immorality, possibly because of its close connection with passion and with danger.

 

Have you got your red ribbon at hand?

 

Another, more ‘graphic’ minimalism image, which I adore!

Hope you have a day full of love and thank you for visiting and commenting, Magda, (*_*)

... fresh Physalis in their husks. Both to eat and to photograph!

 

Physalis is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx.

The berry also goes by the names Golden Strawberry,Chinese Lantern and Cape gooseberry.

Not all Physalis species bear edible fruit. Select species are cultivated for their edible fruit, however; the typical Physalis fruit is similar to a firm tomato in texture, and like strawberries or pineapple in flavour, with a mild acidity.

Physalis fruit is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, calcium and trace amounts of B vitamins.

These fruits contain 18 kinds of amino acids.

These berries are also abundant in polysaccharides, compounds that may help fortify the immune system.

 

Yes, Nature creates its own jewellery.

A skeleton of Physalis, the small shrivelled fruit captured inside the fine lacy filigreed petals.

PHYSALIS alkekengi or Chinese Lantern Plant, they are native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.

Popular for the papery bright-orange lantern pods that develop around the ripening fruit, these are often cut and used for Thanksgiving and Halloween arrangements.

Plants are aggressive spreaders, and best kept out of the perennial border so they don't take over.

Alstroemeria, also called Peruvian /Inca lily, named after the Swedish baron Clas Alströmer

 

They are all native to South America although some have become naturalised in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Madeira and the Canary Islands.

 

Species of Alstroemeria from Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing.

 

Monochromatic? Not really he? All the shades of grey... from a true black to a pure white... as it should be!

 

I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour.

 

Don't you agree?

 

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

It is very silent still, a few birds sing a tentative song, in the distance one car.

It is Easter morning, no children or grandchildren to hide eggs for...

I light the candles for our 'special' breakfast.

  

Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

I love Ranunculus, they are back, how they 'warm' up and lighten our home and hearts, how beautiful, layered and colourfully bright they are...

They must be dancing to some mad music only they can hear!

 

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

from the bottom now, are they small or are they big?

Tutufa is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.

Photography can play games with our visual perception, LOL

A series of ‘nautical’ subjects. It can be anything, just seeing different scenes that attracted my attention.

Pure photography.

Our Christmas trees have varied over the years.

No real trees, because Paul is allergic to them, no joke!

 

But also the decorations are not the same every year...

 

Hope you enjoy!

  

May the light shine bright for you today and thank you for visiting, Magda (*_*)

#AbFav_WOOD_in_WATER_

  

It is early October and we are in Scotland, so the weather is ‘Scottish’… which means, some sun, racing clouds, fast showers, lots of light play on the hills and oooh interesting light.

As we are high up, we are closer to the sky, so; often the top of the hills are covered in eerie wisps of white cloud.

Like a lover’s caress.

 

The weather doesn’t bother us, we take it as it comes, everything has its charms and moods.

When in The Highlands, you just have to see it with mist and rain.

We stand on the shore of many a Loch , standing silent, stunned by such beauty, which changes by the second! I capture the rain.

 

This is again how it came out of my camera!

I’m a ‘purist’, lol

 

Have a beautiful day and thank you for your comments, M, (*_*)

We were on the North Sea Coast in The North-East of England, Northumberland.

Very windy, wild seas, soft rolling hills, spent after Summer, hay-bales lying in wait, the leaning trees formed by the ever-present wind, STUNNING light...

CURVY CAPUCINES...

 

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AB_FAV_ANYTHING_GOES_ 🎨

 

Capucine is the name of this flower in French.

 

In English, the flower is called Nasturtium indicum.

Tropaeolum majus is a species of flowering plant in the family Tropaeolaceae, originating in the Andes from Bolivia north to Colombia.

 

An easily-grown annual with disc-shaped leaves and brilliant orange or red flowers, it is of cultivated, probably hybrid origin.

 

Nasturtiums are used as companion plants for biological pest control, repelling some pests, acting as a trap crop for others and attracting predatory insects.

 

Both the flowers and leaves of the Nasturtium plant are edible and have a peppery taste, similar to that of watercress.

 

Have a fun day and thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

Mask and Gerbera.

Fusion and kiss.

Always new things to try.

  

Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.

 

Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

#AbFav_TOOLS_INSTRUMENTS_🎺

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

My entire life I have this fascination with light.

The shadows, the details it lightens up with the smallest changes.

If you look at something on a wall, in moving sunlight, shadows grow longer.

The knack is to translate that in your photography.

Always loved dramatic light, light that makes you look again!

 

Here a few of my fascinations, LOL

 

Wishing you all a colourful day, and thank you as always for your time, Magda (*_*)
