It is traditional in some countries to have bridesmaids.

You invite all your best friends, all dressed the same.

The back of the gorgeous dresses often even more interesting than the front!

People put so much effort and money in details only yo get lost on the day?

After the ceremony, I set them up like this, when I looked behind me there were a whole row of people waiting to take the same photo on their phone.

As I was the official photographer, I asked them NOT to ...

The way I asked made the young ladies laugh.

So, here you go, MY SHOT! LOL.

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

RED VIBRANCY… ANTHURIUM by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AB_FAV_ANYTHING_GOES_ 🎨

Paul surprised me with these beauties.

I really get annoyed when people use the worn cliché, that a man only gives flowers if he has done something 'wrong', if he needs forgiving! I'm sick and tired of it, plus I find it most unfair to men.

Many give flowers just to say, I care, I love you, thank you...

Anthuriums are a fun flower and never fail to provoke a smile.

They look almost unreal! The flowers are thick, shiny, ribbed and wrinkled, while the leaves are large and glossy, which makes them so much more difficult to photograph well!

They belong to the Araceae family, which also includes callas and philodendrons.

Their genus name, Anthurium, comes from the Greek words anthos meaning "flower," and oura, meaning "tail."

Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.

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

HONFLEUR… Quai Sainte Catherine by magda indigo

16 2

#AbFav_FACADES

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

The port, le Vieux Bassin, is bordered on three sides by buildings of two distinct styles; large stone houses on the Southside (Quai Saint-Etienne) and high and narrow wooden houses to the North (Quai Sainte Catherine).

Both are named after the churches that stand on their grounds.

Behind these quarters rises the Eglise Sainte Catherine, the largest wooden church in France, built by the ship carpenters of Honfleur shortly after the 100 years war.

A law required that the first houses built could not exceed 7.62 metres on the ground floor and not be more than 3 stories tall.

Yet a few decades later, because of its economic and demographic development, Honfleur was facing a serious housing crisis.

For lack of space, houses were then built one on top of the other.

In fact, these buildings were essentially like two adjoining ones, only instead of being built side by side; they were built on top of one another: the base house had its first floor on the bank, while the second one also had a first floor but it gave onto the opposite hill.

On one side, St. Catherine Quay, they rise to narrow slate-and-timber heights of five to seven stories, housing restaurants or galleries in the ground floors.

Honfleur is a treasure trove!

Full of lots of small shops, boutiques, deli’s, bigger and smaller Art venues.

AAHHH, les belles, vieilles façades!!!

"Nature always wears the colours of the spirit." by (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Flowering Grass

YORKSHIRE FOG or Holcus lanatus.

On a tour in our garden last Summer, in between two showers, I found these grasses, they love this type of weather, thrive on it! Very common in grassland and moorland, also in waste ground and neglected gardens.

The birds must have brought in the seeds, or they glided in on the wind...

When I looked closely, I saw all the beautiful colours, the shimmer... the beauty!

Decided I could make a lovely, strong and graphic design, comp in camera.

Up close and personal, there's beauty in everything? (well most...lol.)

These lights, plastic tubes filled with little lights, had 'entertained' us the whole Summer in the garden.

It seemed silly to leave them out now, so, in they came!

Then, something happened, I saw them and thought, now wait a minute, what if, euhhh, yes, do this, try that?

I was thrilled now, and started to try ALL sorts...

UNIQUE & DIFFERENT... by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_GREEN_🍀

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

There are not that many green flowers to be found!

Leaves aplenty, but not blooms.

ARC DE TRIOMPHE. Molucella or Bells of Ireland.

These two stems of Irish Bells seemed to welcome, in the form of an ARCH of TRIUMPH, the three small red roses ...

Moluccella is a genus of annual and short-lived perennial plants native to Central + southwestern Asia and the Mediterranean.

They are tall, upright, branched plants to 1 meter or more with toothed leaves and small white fragrant flowers.

Whether Moluccella is actually a flower or variety of foliage is often open to debate.

In fact, Moluccellais a member of the mint family and has a unique perfume all of its own.

Bells of Ireland, a hardy annual with flowers that never fail to impress, blooms which are the most exquisite shade of lime green.

Since Victorian times, Bells of Ireland have been considered a symbol of good luck - the perfect flower to send to someone starting a new job, or moving to a new home.

Moluccella laevis (Bells-of-Ireland, Bells of Ireland, Molucca balmis, Shellflower, Shell flower)

The second: TIDDELY-OM-POM-POM... Green Trick ‘Temarisou’...

Bred by Hilverda kooij in Holland, and winner of countless awards is a stylish Dianthus barbatus called Green Trick ‘Temarisou’

First, this is not a true carnation at all (Dianthus caryophyllus) which I thought it was judging by the leaves and stems but rather, it is a Dianthus barbatus cultivar, or Sweet William.

But a Sweet William that looks more like a ball of moss?

As far a cut flower trends go, this amazing new variety is a terrific example of how plant breeders are focusing on new lifestyle flowers that meet the needs of today's new consumer.

Short, modern containers with dense mounds of spiky green is exactly what stylists and hip florists are looking for.

There IS a trend in EVERYTHING!

THE TOOLS of the PAINTER... by magda indigo

#AbFav_TOOLS_INSTRUMENTS_🎺

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

I've painted for as long as I can remember.

I believe if you are a creative it is NEVER just in one field...

I photographed one of my paintings, 60x50, and inserted it; I was so surprised when it actually matched the colours on my palette!

I painted it from memory, a tour of Bretagne.

I had been most impressed with the rough rocky coasts, the often emerald waters, the ‘wildness’ of the place.

Some of the brushes I used belonged to my grandfather and father.

The painting is actually done completely with pallet-knife, my fave tool.

I painted with oils like this here, watercolours but I made hundreds of soft pastels.

I don't paint anymore now; I might again, one day, who knows?

My most creative period was when I had a lot of turmoil in my life, anger, sadness, disappointment and love.

I painted furiously day and night!

When that was gone, the photography kicked in again ad eventually took over.

I believe you have to be in a specific ‘state of mind’, plus, I must admit that over the years photography has satisfied my creative needs more and more.

PERMEKE'S PALETTE

Constant Permeke (1886 - 1952)

Biography: Born in Antwerp. Belgium.

Died Ostend.

Constant Permeke was a leading Expressionist painter in his home country during the period between World War I and World War II.

In 1914, he was severely injured and sent to England for recovery. Permeke returned to Belgium five years later, eventually building a home and studio in Jabbeke. His paintings normally depicted the aspects of life in a coastal town and portraits of fisherman.

He was a contemporary of Picasso.

After 1935, Permeke began creating sculpture as well.

Permeke's work was an extension of his personality. A giant, he worked in large studios on large canvases; even his drawings are large. His character was uncouth and quick-tempered yet gentle and generous.

He was direct and single-minded.

When he built his house in Jabbeke, just outside Bruges, it was very avant-garde.

It is now a permanent museum for his work.

On a visit, in his beautiful studio (atelier), the family have left it untouched, the huge unfinished painting on the easel; I photographed his palette with brushes, preserved in a glass tabletop display.

With all the reflections not the easiest photo to take, I included a small photo of one of his paintings, for those who are not familiar with his work.

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

THE WINGS of AN ANGEL's FIRST CHRISTMAS... ANOTHER CHRISTMAS STORY... by magda indigo

25

#AbFav_DECEMBER

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

In our home, we have a cupboard. Nothing extraordinary there?

Except, it is opened only once a year, it is where our Christmas decorations are kept.

I still feel the same excitement I felt when I was a little girl, and I'd climb the stairs, behind my dad, up to the (huge) attic, yes... open 'the cupboard' holding all the cardboard boxes with the shiny glass baubles, the sparkling garlands.

It wasn't heavy, so I was allowed to help, and ooooh, when I opened the first box, I smelled the pine and wax from years past...

Most of the treasures you remember and look forward to seeing again, many are a renewed surprise.

Last Sunday, it was the moment, the tree was put up, the lights were working, the wreath hanging on the door, it was all going smoothly...

Wind and sleety rain battering against the windows, nice and snug indoors, I was slowing down, growing a little tired... when I heard the most heavenly music, voices singing of a Silent Night, I opened the door, three little angels stood there, bedraggled and cold.

I rushed them quickly inside, rinsed off their wings and hung them up to dry.

Made the angels a nice warm drink, in no time, they'd recovered and sang their songs of bells that jingle, chestnuts roasting, some drummer-boy, things in a pear tree?

They helped me decorating in a festive and jolly mood, lighting the candles, arranging the Holly.

One of them felt the feathers, they were dry, they fluffed them up a little, stroked some smooth, time to go...

Two were quick to don their wings, I noticed that one was a bit slower, turned to me and whispered, I've not been an angel for very long, this is my first Christmas, bbbrrrr...

The music echoed in the distance for a brief moment, aaaahhh, what a lovely dream, now I still had to finish what I had started!

I carried on with renewed zest...

And then, I woke up, smiling... when I suddenly saw, where the wings had been drying... three lost feathers...

I wish you a day full of peace and goodness, thank you, M, (*_*)

IMPERIAL… ORCHIDS by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_PURPLE_💜

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

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.

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

In my case, the age of maturity has come with more self-confidence, more tolerance and more intolerance.

I am now the three monkeys in one, I see a lot, I hear a lot and I keep quiet a lot, LOL

I realised the futility of arguments.

When I am right: I am right, when not I have no problem admitting it.

I can shrug off negativity much more easily and not fret too long about it.

The importance of kindness, a kind word.

I learned to be happy with, and finally accept me: Magda.

A lighting exercise in the studio.

This is a scan of a b/w Polaroid which gives you not just the instant image but also a 4x5 negative.

This image is part of an ongoing photo book project on ‘soul mirrors.’

Like most people I don’t like to be photographed, why do you think I am 'behind' the camera? hihi.

I feel that very few images 'capture' the real ‘ME’.

That is why I so respect it when people say NO.

That is why I understand their ‘fear’ and I’m able to put them at ease.

I always prefer natural light, but studio light has its advantages, anytime, anywhere…

This was taken late at night, I had already tried quite a few different set-ups, wanted something different, this IS the one.

Camera used: Techn Cam 4x5

Lens used: Rodenstock 180

Film used: Polaroid 55 pro neg. 4x5

The frame is natural, from the torn-off Polaroid paper.

All the rest is in Pickering station, manned by all the volunteers.

Love all the colours, these are good tools.

Keep safe!

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

I love trying the more 'challenging'.

Twine is a light string or strong thread composed of two or more smaller strands or yarns twisted, and then twisted together.

Knots are bonds.

Playing with twine, lol.

I mean, at my age? And why not, the creative juices were flowing, you try and stop them! Hahaha

It was a fun afternoon... more to come.

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

LONDON EYE... by magda indigo

A HOT Sunday afternoon in London.

Taken from The Embankment, the shadow side of the Thames. The London Eye or Millennium Wheel has been photographed zillions of times, I tried to still give it a 'different' twist... my own... a pod and a plane, both in flight,

The Millennium wheel is a massive attraction, a must when visiting the English capital.

The London Eye is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London.

It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3.75 million visitors annually.

The structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft).

When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel.

The wheel's 32 sealed and air-conditioned ovoidal passenger capsule are attached to the external circumference of the wheel and rotated by electric motors.

The capsules are numbered from 1 to 33, excluding number 13 for superstitious reasons.

Each of the 10-tonne (11-short-ton) capsules represents one of the London Boroughs, and holds up to 25 people, who are free to walk around inside the capsule, though seating is provided.

The wheel rotates at 26 cm (10 in) per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.6 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.

It does not usually stop to take on passengers; the rotation rate is slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and off the moving capsules at ground level.

Thank you, M, (*_*)
