These were given to us by a client who raises chickens. He told us the tiny egg on the bottom left is called a virgin egg. First egg a chicken produces. We did not eat it!
For Looking Close on Friday, I found this red flower that had fallen from a red sage plant that was growing in a compost pile in our backyard. ❤️🌺🌹

Took me a while to find something 'fake'. Remembered this ring I once gave my granny and which I got out of these machines where you put a coin in and then get a ball filled with nicknacks - in this case - a ring. The eggshell was still lying on my selfmade whitepaper background theater that I made for MacroMonday so I felt the urge to put the ring as if it was hedging...
How I loved charm bracelets as a child growing up in the 60s and 70s. Mum had many friends that visited the house whilst wearing one, plus if you were lucky you may see one worn when shopping, on the bus or in a restaurant! I especially loved the ones that opened to reveal a little character or scene and also the ones with a note inside for emergencies eg 10/-, £1, £5, £10. I bought this one many years later and have added several charms to it but have never worn it - it’s quite heavy and I’m too worried I’ll lose it!
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!
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..

Speciellt användbart om det blåser.

Especially useful on a windy day.

The Princess of the pink marble palace takes a stroll in the grounds surrounding her beautiful home. She admires the fine work of her army of gardeners as she gathers an array of differently shaded pink blooms into a stunning and fragrant bouquet.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 24th of September is “pretty in pink”. 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. Thus, when the theme was announced, I knew I immediately wanted to photograph my collection of pretty pink blooms and one of my pink princesses for it. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
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.
This blue glass salt (salt dish) of six centimetres in diameter dates from the early 1920s. It has a beautifully executed intaglio of a classical Roman maiden and a cherub who look like they are about to kiss. The intaglio is designed by Czechoslovakian glass maker Heinrich Hoffman. An intaglio is an engraving or incised figure in stone or other hard material (in this case glass) depressed below the surface so that an impression from the design yields an image in relief.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 5th of February is “blue on a black background”, so I thought this beautiful little blue glass salt would suffice. It has been photographed sitting on a piece of French black velvet.
Heinrich Hoffmann (1875 - 1939) was prominent among glass makers at the luxury level of vanity glass production. Heinrich’s reputation as the specialist for articles made of jet black crystal was established in Paris just prior to the time of Lalique´s venture into glass. Heinrich’s´s vanity pieces followed the Art Deco ethic in shape and subject, but echoed an Art Nouveau stylization late into the 1920s. Production was handled by various Czechoslovakian contract factories and cottage finishers, with jewelled bronze mounting completed in Austria, and sales transacted in Paris. The realistic glass jewels manufactured in Gablonz are legendary and were used also in the thinner brass Czechoslovakian mountings of the 1930s, as well as later in costume jewellry by names such as Chanel, Dior, Schiaparelli and Hattie Carnegie.
For this week‘s theme I was in despair with winter saying hello and no flowers in the garden. Then remembered my potted ones (pass them daily yet totally out of my brain) and got me some (they are on the verge of perishing already). Wasn‘t sure whether a single one would suffice then played with contrasting colours using my deep blue vase and one yellow single flower. The effect looks almost artificial (no ai used!). I had another single flower and a shot with mostly calmer white tones yet decided for the bright coloured one. Hope you like - HLCoF!!!
I photographed this mute swan on the River Stour, Dorset. It was sat upright but seemingly fast asleep as it floated downstream. The water droplet is on an Angel’s Breath flower. Best viewed large.
(To refract the image through the droplet, I displayed the photo on a tablet with a high res screen.)
