Macro Mondays - Button(s)
My kids may have grown up and left home long ago, but I still have heaps of kiddie style buttons in my sewing box. I used to buy buttons that appealed to me, whether or not I had an actual use for them at the time, and so it is that many of these buttons have never adorned a garment. Today some of them get their moment in the sun.
These Bachelor Buttons of purple also have a small visitor,
a skipper butterfly, sipping their sweet nectar... luv the
way the setting sun made them glow!!! Wishing everyone
a blessed weekend with hugs from Texas!!!

Interesting trivia re buttons. I found this excerpt while doing some research on buttons after watching the movie ‘The curious case of Benjamin Button’ :-
“Even the simplest things had a glorious pointlessness to them. When buttons came in, about 1650, people couldn't get enough of them and arrayed them in decorative profusion on the backs and collars and sleeves of coats, where they didn't actually do anything. One relic of this is the short row of pointless buttons that are still placed on the underside of jacket sleeves near the cuff. These have been purely decorative and have never had a purpose, yet 350 years later on we continue to attach them as if they are the most earnest necessity.”
― Bill Bryson
for the embroidered button swap...these went to Bekah of Beetastic
i was going for a vintage feel...i chose spring-ish floss colors and made sure to include each color at least once. all the stitching is free form and random...

The above photo are the buttons of rock up the mountain. We have to walk about an hour to reach there. My wife and I used to be here 16 years ago with friends and used to take this area views using film camera. The place is in Phitsanulok, Thailand.
The above photo including the two below are the simple two shots one measure light at the sky one at the rock and manualy blend together. I've found that this is the easiest way to take this kind of shot and look more natural. This is also a real sun with no plug-in or any effect work. Any advice?.:)
