The Red Faerie knows where to find the very best magical red mushrooms and toadstools in the forest with the assistance of the Red Cardinals and Red Robbins in the trees and her red eyed grey wolf, whose nose can sniff them out from a mile away.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” is “mushrooms”.
I thought my Playmobil fungi were a suitable choice.
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.
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.

There is something special, stylish and seductive about lipstick. It promotes beauty, elegance and luxury with the simple twist of a baton and a swipe of application. Even the advertisements for lipstick are glamourous!
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 15th of January is “lipstick”, so this is my idea for an advertisement for lipstick using a gold Art Deco baton from the 1930s which once contained a tube of red lipstick and a tube of Coral Colours ‘Raisin’ and MAC ‘Paramour’ lipstick.
Lipstick is a cosmetic that applies protection, texture and mostly colour to the lips. Based on cosmetic cases found at archaeological sites dating back five thousand years, it is thought that Ancient Sumerians were the first to wear lipstick. These ancient cosmetics were made by mixing crushed gemstones with oils and waxes. Ancient Egyptians also wore red lipstick as an indicator of social status. Although the name originally applied to the baton (stick) of material, within a tubular container, usually around ten milimeters in diameter and fifty milometers in length, the term now generally relates to the material itself, regardless of method of application.
I’ve had many pencil sharpeners so far in my life but there’s something about hacking away at a pencil with a knife - think its because my Dad used to do it.
Sharpener for Looking Close on Friday
Superstitions claim that hanging hollow glass globes in windows can ward off witches and evil spirits by enchanting them with their colors.
The photo is monochrome; if you see colors, you probably have magical powers. Please use them for good. :)
This photo was part of a set originally taken for the Macro Mondays "superstition" theme. Here there's a sharper focus on the edge, with the foreground and background colors combining into swirls of bokeh.

Neutral Colours. Subtle and understated appearance. Simply pretty.
Little Wood Satyr butterfly, seen in a grassy area with small bushes and trees, alongside the woodland...
For “Looking close… on Friday!” theme of “Small Animals with Wings”
Happy Friday! Have a nice day! :-)
Some info from Wikipedia
The little wood satyr, is a butterfly species of the Satyrinae family that occurs in North America.
The wingspan is 29–48 mm. The forewing has two yellow-rimmed black eyespots on both sides, dorsal and ventral. The hindwing has two spots on the dorsal side but have smaller spots on the ventral. The over all color is light brown.
It can be observed in forests, usually along the edges and in brush-filled openings along cleared forest roads. It has also been observed in grassy areas usually between forested patches. It flies near the ground, twisting between and through grasses, small trees and bushes. This butterfly prefers habitat that is open, contains deciduous trees along with marshy areas and possessing brushy cover.
Range and habitat
They are seen in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada, from Nova Scotia south into Florida, west to Texas, Saskatchewan and Wyoming. As the name implies the little wood satyr is most commonly seen in woods and shrubby areas.
Life cycle
Adults in the northern portions of their range fly between June and July while their southern populations fly between March and September. Adults have a slow "bouncing" flight but they will rise as far as the top of tall trees. Females lay eggs singly on grass, the fourth-instar caterpillars hibernate.
My daughter gave me this pack of coloured pencils to carry around more easily, they slip into a neat little folding case 😀

When picking one painting up that I got from ebay another one was stored next to it. Inquiring and showing my interest in it with the seller she was just giving me the other for free!!!!
What I love is the thick strokes and I chose this bit since it somehow reminds me of a human ear.

I sharpen a pencil like this for italic writing – but not often these days.

The photo captures the pride and calm strength of a traditionally carved figure. The play of light, shadow, reflection and texture enhances the expressive details of the woodwork.
Looking close ... on Friday! : The theme for this week (on June 5) is "WOOD CARVING".
