for #CrazyTuesday

theme: Missing Broken Pieces

It’s an ink or a perfume bottle and is elegant even in its broken state. Would you like to see it in context?

……….💙 HCT 💔💙

At daybreak, even before sunrise, the children’s stepmother came and woke the two children. "Get up, you lazybones!” she said, shaking them roughly. “We are going into the woods to fetch wood." Then she gave each one a little piece of bread, saying, "Here is something for midday. Don't eat it any sooner, for you'll not get any more."

Grethel put the bread under her apron, because Hänsel's pockets were full of stones. Then all together they set forth into the woods. After they had walked a little way, Hänsel began stopping again and again and looking back toward the house.

The father said, "Hänsel, why are you stopping and looking back? Pay attention now, and don't forget your legs."

"Oh, father," said Hänsel, "I am looking at my little white cat that is sitting on the roof and wants to say good-bye to me."

The stepmother said, "That isn't your cat, you stupid little fool! That is simply the morning sun shining on the chimney. Now come along, before I take a switch to you!"

However, Hänsel had not been looking at his cat but instead had been dropping the shiny pebbles from his pocket onto the path.

‘Hänsel and Grethel’ by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 15th of March is "natural stones". A stone is what you typically pick up and hold. A stone is much smaller than a rock, meaning that it is moveable, such as cobbles and pebbles. In this case, I have picked up a pebble that washed into my garden from the property next door to mine. They have a path made of natural stones that runs along the edge of where our properties join. It seemed like a pretty and interesting stone, which I thought perfect for this week’s theme. I hope that you do too, and that it makes you smile!

Back in 2020 we had this supercool #macromondays theme called #filltheframe which i really enjoyed.

And for last weeks theme we had to shoot condiments where i took again a "full frame" image. Made fun and i did some extra shots on it a couple weeks before.

Noodles also are great to put into a fullframe :)

Thank you for your visits, comments and favs!

Macro Mondays / fill the frame

The shades of the windows of a highrise building in the CBD of Brisbane create a red geometrical array on a somewhat overcast day.

I took this one a few weeks ago as an alternative for the one colour theme.

Cotton buds in a little glass tea light holder which was given to me by one of the little children at the preschool I used to work at many years ago. Some things you just have to hang on to as they have a special meaning.

After a nice Saturday morning breakfast with the family, the hubby and I went to our local garden centre and picked out some flowers to plant in our flower beds and containers. While I was wandering around I saw this sunflower to take for todays shot. I caught a smirk from a gentleman watching me take this shot with my cell phone...lol This is a long weekend here in Canada and the start to our summer season so the garden centre was a little busy.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you all had a wonderful day!

Macro Mondays - “Fill the Frame” - plant.

They all look delicious!

Bright yellow petals of a sunflower

Not sure if this is okay, trying to be creative !, these are seedheads from an, to me, unknown plant.

I put them as close as possible together but some empty spaces remain.

This is 5,5 cm.

Happy Macro Monday.

For Macro Mondays theme "Fill the Frame"

This is a rather small flower on a 'Queen's tears' plant. The flowers come out of a pink casing rising up from the main plant, then cascade I suppose in these small heads. This one is about 1.5 inches long, so there is about an inch of it here. The background is just the leaves, but I could get those in focus, the flowers reach out of the leaves too far. Stacked image, with a little over exposure on the stamens after the focus stacking. Taken 26JAN25

This ebony spleenwort caught my attention today while hiking at the Browns Creek Nature Park and Bike Trail in Elizabeth-town, North Carolina. Here I cropped the image to Fill the Frame for the Marco Monday Redux 2020. It could also be an Unusual Pattern.

Sometimes when you have a subject in mind you either think a lot or you just venture out to photograph the first thing you find. That happened to me today, because I was folding the bedding and these white folds gave me the idea. I used a ring light for this photo.
