For Looking Close…on Friday theme of Headwear, here’s Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm doll by Madame Alexander.
“If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz.”
Opening lyrics from “Puttin’ on the Ritz” - written by Irving Berlin, 1930.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 14th of January is “shoes with laces”. These black and white 1920s style dress shoes were made for me some twenty years or more ago, for a roaring 20s fancy dress party, by the now defunct company Griffin of Melbourne, who specialised in 1920s and 1930s inspired couture clothing and shoes. They seemed to be the perfect fit for the theme! I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
In the heart of this sunlit bird’s‑foot trefoil, an unexpected visitor appears: a tiny crab spider, almost invisible in its pale camouflage, stopping by in search of a tasty bite. The soft yellow glow of the petals forms the perfect stage for this quiet encounter, where natural beauty and instinct meet. An exceptional flower, with an exceptional guest.
In het hart van deze zonnige rolklaver verschijnt onverwacht bezoek: een kleine krabspin, haast onzichtbaar in zijn bleke camouflage, op zoek naar een smakelijke hap. De zachte gele gloed van de bloemblaadjes vormt het perfecte decor voor dit stille tafereel, waar schoonheid en natuurgedrag elkaar ontmoeten. Een uitzonderlijke bloem, met een uitzonderlijke gast.

Some varieties of plum tree have very sharp spines or spikes on them particularly an American variety or if they have been originally grafted from a blackthorn root stock.
This plum tree in our garden just decided to die some years ago for no known reason. I keep it because the birds use it a a perch and I also hang bird feeders from it. Maybe one day I will dig it up?

It was recently my birthday, and a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She gave me these in three beautiful tins, including this octagonal tin covered in Edwardian beauties. The tine may be old and battered, but I think those imperfections add to the tin’s beauty. It tells a story of being well used and well loved.
How apt it is then that a few weeks after I was given this wonderful tin full of ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and fine notions, Maria announced the theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” for October 20th, as “old boxes”, which is derived from my suggestion of “old, antique or vintage”. This theme also includes old tins. I knew immediately which tin I wanted to photograph.
Thank you for making my suggestion into a wonderfully fun theme this week, Maria. I hope you all like my image for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
My partner saw this buzzard at the edge of a road in the depths of the night. The buzzard was limping and dragging a wing. My partner parked the car, crossed the road and picked the buzzard up. We phoned The Hawk Trust who advised us to keep it in a cardboard box in a quiet place overnight. The Hawk Trust arranged for us to take it to a veterinarian practice the following day. After a few days, the Trust took it to its own hospital. This is the only photograph I took, with the flash switched off, so as to cause no further distress. I hadn’t been so close to a bird of prey before and its beauty made a huge impression on me. I don’t think this story had a happy ending. The Trust told us that the bird had severe injuries.
