February Alphabet Fun group's eighteenth picture of the month comes to you by courtesy of the letter R for Red.
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.

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.

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.

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.
My daughter gave me this pack of coloured pencils to carry around more easily, they slip into a neat little folding case 😀

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick." – Audrey Hepburn
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 wonder why they call zips "zippers" in the US?)

“The pearl is the queen of gems and the gem of queens.” – Grace Kelly.
My maternal Grandmother may not have been a queen, but in many respects, she was very much like Queen Elizabeth II. Only six years older than the Queen and being a young woman in the 1930s and 1940s, she felt all her adult life that she could never been seen in public without wearing her pearl necklace, a double strand of graduating cultured pearls with a platinum, diamond and pearl clasp given to her by her parents when she was twenty-one, and her cultured pearl clip earrings which she was given to her by her parents when she was eighteen.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 22nd of January “earrings”. I was originally going to submit a photo of some other family heirloom earrings in my possession, a pair of Regency ebony and ivory cameos I lovingly called Flora and Fauna when I was a child, but then I considered that I submitted them for the theme of “earrings” for the “Smile on Saturday” group last year. Instead, I have chosen these pearl earrings and necklace which remind me more of my maternal Grandmother than any other possessions of hers I own. These pieces of family jewellery have survived the Blitz and have travelled all around the world to places like Paris, Madrid, Aden and Cairo: they have signs of wear and age, but my what stories they could tell! These pearl earrings always make me smile and think of my maternal Grandmother, and the Queen. I hope that you like them too.
