Found in Birchwood Park, Lincoln lots of these Fairy Inkcap mushrooms, botanical name Coprinellus Disseminatus.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 25th of March is “pencil sharpener”. Luckily this was an easy theme for me, as I am an artist amongst many other things, so I always have an array of pencils and sharpeners within easy reach. So, here we have one of my silver pencil sharpeners hedged in by sixteen of my Derwent studio pencils. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
When I was twelve, I entered a drawing competition, and I won my first set of Derwent pencils: a tin case of 36. As a designer and illustrator as well as a photographer, over the years I have acquired several different sets of Derwents for different purposes, including my beloved Derwent Studio Pencil set of 72 which I use predominantly these days for designing clothes.
Derwent, or the Derwent Cumberland Pencil Company, is a manufacturer of pencils and other stationery. The business began in 1832 in Cumberland under the name of Banks, Son & Co. The company was bought by Acco UK and became a brand of their product range.
I found these washers for the ring theme.
Happy looking close....on Friday!

Greek Pottery from the pottery village Margarites, Crete, by an artist from Heraklion who has specialized on making these pomegranates.
The one in the back is a lovely real fruit that will soon decorate salads or yoghurt. ;)
This trio on the sideboard was beautifully lit by natural sunlight, so I quickly put a shiny red carton behind and just took two pictures with my cellphone.
HLCoF to all participants 💙💙💙
Flowers always give me a smile.
We get a lot of rain but are currently in a horrid heat wave, so these beauties needed a little help with a spray bottle. Thankfully it looks like we will get some rain tomorrow.
Taken for Looking close...on Friday's theme "raindrops or dewdrops", but didn't need to use it. :=)
Whatever you give, give from the heart. May there be many gifts of the heart to you as well. For the theme “ Angels”.

Happy Looking Close…on Friday! 😃 I took this photo out of the group because I didn’t realize the flowers must be growing. .
Windswept fence row multicolored grass caught my attention. Photographed using "Macro" mode of LeicaQ2. Abstract.
For the Looking-Close-on-Friday theme "Reflection on White Background "
I have put a silver carton for soft reflections underneath and some white sheets on top and at the sides to have the reflections on white. (A light from the side.) Not easy to achieve as with different light situations greyish or yellowish tones were likely to sneak in.

This gold, pearl and amethyst brooch features two particularly fine brilliant cut amethysts and nine seed pearls. It is Edwardian and with its Art Nouveau design, was made in the first decade of the twentieth century. It is very likely a brooch made for a suffragette, featuring two of the three universal suffrage colours of white and purple. It was possibly worn against something green as the representation of the final colour. Brooches and other jewellery like this was a subtle way for suffragettes to communicate their allegiance to the movement with one another.
(Private collection)
Edwardian jewellery is renowned for its delicate, beautifully crafted designs. In contrast to Victorian jewellery, many pieces created during the Art Nouveau period were made in a very feminine fashion, using finer smaller stones and very light settings made possible by using platinum.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 18th of March is “jewellery (selective colour)”. I decided to select the purple of the amethysts as my selective colour, and accentuated it to draw out some of the blues that were created in the stone created by the black velvet on which the brooch sits. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Love the cherry blossoms, too bad they don't last very long.
Happy looking close....on Friday!
