have a nice weekend :)

sorry everyone, Flickr is too "slow" ... see you later !

Handheld Shot with Sony Nex-7 and Trioplan 2.8/100 neo. It is quite a Challenge to focus on the "Link" in the Middle of the Picture when having no Tripod available. The small reflections made it interesting for me. Have Fun and zoom in, please!!!!

just because

Ooooh, it works for the looking close on Friday theme of “festive lighting” - up close!!

Miasa (美麻) is a mountainside community to the east of Azumino Valley. It used to produce hemp fiber as Mi-asa means "beautiful hemp."

Macro Monday challenge = Dots and Stripes. HMM! :-)

Sedert een week volg ik enkele bevers in de buurt.

Normaal zie je ze niet zo vaak overdag maar omdat ze nu met jongen zitten en de nachten zo kort zijn beginnen ze rond 19 uur voedsel te zoeken .Dit wijfje is wel 130cm lang.Als ze me waarneemt komt ze steeds weer aangezwommen tot op enkele meters afstand en blijft me dan soms een minuut lang roerloos observeren.Dan gaat ze verder met het vellen van jonge wilgen waarvan ze de bast en bladeren verorbert.Ook neemt ze veel tijd om haar vacht te onderhouden.

For 121 Pictures in 2021 #35 "Fibre", broccoli is a nutritious vegetable very high in fiber (or fibre, as it is spelled elsewhere).

ODC "holiday lights"

The fiber holding this Burn Weed seedpod is so thin that at first glance it looks as if nothing is there. If you look very closely you may be able to just barely make out the hidden fiber. The fiber is obvious in the center right the and lower left of the picture.

Fiber wood storage is waiting to be transported to the mills.

Our Daily Challenge: MULTICOLOR

This cloth is orange, coppery, blue and there are thin stripes of red and yellow. So it very well fits the theme multicolor.

The Jute stalks stay submerged in water for 20 days. When jute stalk is well retted, after loosening the fibers, the fibers are washed with water and squeezed dry.

Makayla's breakfast of champions these days consists of Cheerios sprinkled with a generous portion of All Bran Buds (more generous if we want to encourage the potty training). Makayla is definitely making friends with fiber. William Shatner would be proud.

Heather corrected me - apparently I (not her) took this shot a few weeks ago... I *really* like it!

Joshua Tree National Park, California

The crown of a yucca plant against a granite outcropping. Note the mass of tough fibers splitting off from its leaves. The native American tribes used these fibers for pretty much everything for which you can imagine using fiber. Sandals, cloth, belts, baskets, ropes, and mats were all woven from yucca fiber.
