One of my attempts at the "Looking Close… on Friday" theme "Bokeh in Blue".
Shot with a Kodak "Printing-Ektar 89 mm F 3.8" on a Canon EOS R5.
“Remembrance, like a candle, burns brightest at Christmastime.” – Charles Dickens.
The theme for the 18th of December “Looking Close… on Friday” is “one single candle”. Lighting candles at Christmastime is special for me, not only because it casts a beautiful warm glow, but also because we have a European tradition in our family that when we light a candle on Christmas Eve, we remember those who are no longer here. Then, because they are alive in my heart, they are with me to celebrate my most favourite time of the year.
As this is the last “Looking Close… on Friday” before Christmas, I should just like to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. It may be a different one this year, and there may be more people to remember in our hearts, but may it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
For Christians, a candle is lit at Christmastime to represent the Star of Bethlehem, guiding the Magi to the stable where Jesus was born. For those of Jewish faith, a menorah in the window is a Jewish custom symbolising the miracle of Chanukah (when a single jug of oil burnt for eight days).
The Orange Faerie has invited her friend the Orange Princess for luncheon at her castle by the sea. With a wave of her wand, the Orange faerie produces a feast fit for a princess on the empty table before them: orange lobsters with orange carrots followed by orange pineapples and of course fresh oranges. Best of all there is orange flavoured ice cream to finish with. All this is accompanied by freshy squeezed orange juice to drink. What a fine repast produced by the kind Orange Faerie! Bon appétit!
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” is “orange”. Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the array of different items that are produced. I thought this tableaux featuring a range of orange items really suited the theme. I hope you think so too!
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.

For many years, I used an atelier to make me beautiful clothes with whom I developed an amazing bond. She understood me, knew my likes and dislikes, was creative and could bring my designs to life, since I have aptitude for the designing of clothes, but not for the sewing of them. Imagine my horror when she moved, first to Sydney, which we could manage, and then to Berlin! Even the deepest pockets couldn’t justify the price of flying to Berlin for multiple consultations and fittings! I never thought I would find another, that is until I was introduced to Kathryn, who altered an evening dress for the daughter of a friend of mine and made a silk purse from a sow’s ear. After meeting Kathryn I found her to be the perfect new atelier for me. She is friendly, an excellent sewer, consultative and very willing to try new ideas, be dynamic and work with some tough fabrics! What more could I ask for from an atelier?
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 4th of February is “clothing labels”. This label from my atelier, Kathryn Ellard, seemed the perfect choice. Sewn inside a jacket I had made for a wedding three years ago, the label is luxurious and features a nice vignette of Art Nouveau swirls, which for anyone who follows me will know is perfect, as I love Art Nouveau design. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
A warm spring vibe captured in a single bud of the cherry tree. Soft colors, a quiet atmosphere, and a gentle energy that whispers that spring has truly begun.
Voor Lilly:
Een warme lentetrilling gevangen in één bloemknop van de kerselaar. Zachte kleuren, stille sfeer, en een vibe die fluistert dat de lente echt begonnen is.

Baby carrots in a bowl on an orange sheet of paper for Looking Close…on Friday theme of “The Color Orange.”
Nuii is made by Froneri, the second largest ice cream company in Europe and the third biggest in the world. Froneri are trying to tap into the growing market for, as they call it, indulgent adult ice cream and with the Nuii range, they have produced sticks made with ice cream, coated in a thick layer of chocolate and, as they describe it, “a more artisanal finish”.
There are four different flavours in the range with this being just one of them and my favourite! Froneri said the cocoa used in Nuii products supports responsible, sustainable cocoa farming.The Nuii range is trying to build on the success of Froneri’s Connoisseur brand in Australia, one which some of you Aussie members might be aware of.
Froneri are totally English, with their headquarters in North Yorkshire in the U.K..
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 26th of November is “lips”. In recent months, I have been exploring a new avenue in my creativity, that of portraiture photography. I used my sitter for the “Smile on Saturday” theme of “nose” a little over two months ago and again a little over a month ago for “Looking Close on Friday’s” theme of “dots and stripes”. My elusive sitter has agreed to return for a third time, and has kindly shirked his usual garb of a smart suit and tie in exchange for a tulle ruff. When combined with a special plaster mask layered with torn paper given to me as a gift by an artist friend who made it especially for me, I think they give my shot something of a commedia dell'arte feel. In keeping with the Italian feel, I have given my photo the title of “Baciami”, which I am told is Italian for “kiss me”! I think he has a rather lovely set of lips which are quite kissable, don’t you? I do hope that you like my choice of this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
These Japanese Maple leaves, dressed in their most vibrant autumnal colours look almost too good to be real: instead, made of paper with edges cut and crimped with pinking shears. However, I can assure you that they are very real.
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees aflame like this well established Japanese Maple which I photographed on a walk through the inner northern Melbourne suburb of North Fitzroy. Melbourne had a beautiful and vibrant autumn display of leaves this year which were simply glorious.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” is “leaves”.
As soon as I read what the theme was, this was the first photograph I thought of. It was one I meant to put up in Autumn, not long after I took the photograph. Yet like so many photos, I just ran out of time and I moved on to other things in my photostream. Now I’m glad that I held it back. I hope that its flame brightness brings you as much joy and delight as it did me! Enjoy!
Fitzroy North has a distinct character, noted for its prevalence of wide streets and avenues, intact Victorian and Edwardian era terraced housing and for the Edinburgh Gardens, a large inner-city park formerly home to the Fitzroy Football Club. Fitzroy North is adjacent to, and shares a postcode and neighbourhood character with Clifton Hill, both being government subdivisions set on elevated ground and to the same layout by Clement Hodgkinson in the 1870s, and distinct from the earlier narrow and more crowded private subdivisions in the lower lying areas of Fitzroy and Collingwood to the south. Most of Fitzroy North is single and double storey Victorian and Edwardian housing, comprising rows of terraces, with a mixture of semi-attached and freestanding houses on small to moderately sized blocks. Large parts of the suburb are protected by heritage controls. The suburb is relatively intact and consistent in character, having had far less industrial and commercial development in its formative years than its southern namesake.
