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..
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...
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.

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. ❤️🌺🌹

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.)
Thank you for looking. Views, likes or comments are always appreciated.
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.

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.
