This beautiful butterfly insisted on landing on a hydrangea that is long past its best...so it's more fauna than flora!

The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” Friday 8th of January is “calendar”, so I decided that before I wrote on my beloved Alphonse Mucha wall calendar that I buy every year, I would photograph a corner of it. The Alphonse Mucha image you see in the corner closest to us is a detail of “Têtes Byzantines – Blonde” (1897) which appears in my calendar on the month of September: my birthday month.
I wish all my Flickr friends and followers a brighter and happier New Year than the one we have left behind.
Alfons Maria Mucha (1860 – 1939), known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech painter, illustrator and graphic artist, living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters, particularly those of Sarah Bernhardt.

A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savoury, though modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard.
My wife and I were first introduced to this delicious combination on our first vacation to Mexico 30+ years ago. It was prepared and served to us this way every morning. It has been a treat for us ever since.

Poker, in itself, may be considered dangerous to one's financial status but this hand goes a step further. James Butler ("Wild Bill") Hickok (May27, 1837-August 2, 1876) was a folk legend of the American Old West. He was fatally shot in the back while playing poker in Deadwood, Dakota Territory (Present-day South Dakota). He is alleged to have been holding 2 pairs (Aces and Eights) at the time of the event. The hand became known as "The Dead Man's Hand" and the superstitious has been considered bad luck and even dangerous. Such was certainly true for Wild Bill.
For the Looking-Close-on-Friday Group ' s theme "Silver and Gold" - my double ring made by an Irish goldsmith, silver with golden beads at the open ends of the rings. I have taken pictures of it for other Flickr groups because it really is one of my favourite rings and worn a lot as you can see.

It's spring over here…in the southern hemisphere... but there are still some autumn leaves left in my garden.
Have a great day, everyone!
I was so torn between another composition and the simplicity and comparison of my shoe size and my husband’s. He’s a size 12 6E wide and I am a 10 medium. It’s a standard household joke about the enormity of his feet. Considering I’m 5ft 3 people we laugh about that too 😁😳
Four times the energy of a regular TGIF picture! Maracas! Dancing! Hair flips! SHOUTING!
Come on, weekend!

Seemed a good shot for Looking Close...on Friday and low_key theme. I visited a woman whose late husband had a collection of antique cash registers. Focus is the key buttons on this autographic cash register hidden under the brass cover.
From an email received by the owner of antiquecashregistercollector.com/ : "The machine is a National (Cash Register) Model 45. These are called autographic machines (create a copy of the sales receipt). Produced 1898-1911, this particular model was a mid range machine (in price)."
This antique autographic register is simply a wooden box with a gold plate that has an opening for receipts which is right below the glass window seen in the photo. The receipts were created using carbon paper. The buttons create a combination lock that only the proprietor knew in order for the machine to open the cash drawer. The box was taped up so didn't get a chance to look inside.

This small box came with my son’s magic set when he was young. It appears as if there is no way to open the box… unless you know magic!
Shot for “Looking Close… on Friday!” and the theme “Toy Cars”
I felt obligated to enter a photo for this theme. Looking back to when my son was 2-years old, he has always been into cars. And to this day at age 27, he still loves cars and works in the auto industry.
Growing up he was always playing with toy cars and he amassed a large collection of them. We (my wife and I) became quite accustomed to opening a drawer or cabinet door to find a toy car or two within. We were careful to not walk around our home barefoot as stepping on one of them was hazardous to our health. Toy cars are still in his life as we have carried on a tradition that he gets at least one toy car as a gift every Christmas.
He has lived on his own for several years now and we still find some of his cars in unsuspecting places. This Hot-Wheels roadster being one I pulled from the cabinet below our TV.
As for my title of ‘Prescription Drive’, I was a child of the 60’s and 70’s, and just hopping in the car with the family to go for a drive was quite common growing up. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy drives today. But now I have a destination in mind (usually some place I can snap a picture or two).
