LA TASTIERA ALFANUMERICA
Nel tema odierno del gruppo "Macro Mondays" si chiede di inserire la foto di un oggetto familiare e da parte mia la cosa più logica è presentarvi la tastiera del mio nuovo pc che è con me da una quindicina di giorni.
----------------------------------------------------------
THE ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD
In today's theme of the "Macro Mondays" group you are asked to insert a photo of a familiar object and for me the most logical thing is to present you the keyboard of my new PC which has been with me for about a fortnight.

UN ABBRACCIO MORTALE
Le proprietà delle noci sono numerose. Esse contengono sali minerali, oligoelementi ed elettroliti, tra i quali fosforo, potassio, magnesio, calcio, rame (necessario per la sintesi dell’emoglobina e per gli ormoni), zinco (un importante immunomodulatore) e ferro, oltre ad una buona quantità di acidi grassi omega 3, utili per tenere sotto controllo gli zuccheri e ottime per la salute del cuore.

A DEADLY EMBRACE
The properties of walnuts are numerous. They contain mineral salts, trace elements and electrolytes, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper (necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin and hormones), zinc (an important immunomodulator) and iron, as well as a good quantity of omega 3 fatty acids, useful for keeping sugars under control and excellent for heart health.

FRUTTA FRESCA A COLAZIONE.
Le mie abitudini alimentari sono molto semplici...tanta pastasciutta o riso, carne in quantità moderata e molta frutta e verdura. D'inverno la mia prima colazione consiste in tè, biscotti e miele mentre in estate inizio la giornata con della frutta fresca e la mia preferita è sicuramente una buona fetta d'anguria. Verso le 10.00 a.m. nessuno mi vieta un ottimo caffè espresso preso al bar.
Preciso che sono state rispettate le regole del gruppo e le dimensioni dell'immagine sono conformi a quanto richiesto.
-------------------------------------------------------------
FRESH FRUIT FOR BREAKFAST.
My eating habits are very simple... lots of pasta or rice, moderate amounts of meat and lots of fruit and vegetables. In the winter my breakfast consists of tea, biscuits and honey while in the summer I start the day with fresh fruit and my favourite is definitely a good slice of watermelon. Around 10.00 a.m. no one stops me from enjoying an excellent espresso at the bar.
I would like to point out that the group rules have been respected and the image dimensions are compliant with the requirements.

NON SERVE CHE SIA BELLO MA SE LO E' E' MEGLIO
Ho realizzato questa foto per il gruppo Macro Mondays....non è nulla di che ma l'oggetto è bello e fa bella mostra nella mensola del mio salotto.

IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE BEAUTIFUL BUT IF IT IS BEAUTIFUL IT'S BETTER
I took this photo for the Macro Mondays group....it's nothing special but the object is beautiful and looks great on my living room shelf.

C'E' ANCHE SE NON SI VEDE.
La figura dell’Angelo come simbolo delle gerarchie celesti, in genere appare fin dai primi tempi del cristianesimo.
L'Angelo Custode indica l’esistenza di un angelo per ogni uomo, che lo guida, lo protegge, dalla nascita fino alla morte, è citata nel Libro di Giobbe, ma anche dallo stesso Gesù, nel Vangelo di Matteo, quando indicante dei fanciulli dice: “Guardatevi dal disprezzare uno solo di questi piccoli, perché vi dico che i loro angeli nel cielo vedono sempre la faccia del Padre mio che è nei cieli”. La Sacra Scrittura parla di altri compiti esercitati dagli angeli, come quello di offrire a Dio le nostre preghiere e sacrifici, oltre quello di accompagnare l’uomo nella via del bene.
Questa piccola statua rispetta le misure richieste dal gruppo "Macro Mondays"

IT IS THERE EVEN IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT.
The figure of the Angel as a symbol of the celestial hierarchies generally appears since the early times of Christianity.
The Guardian Angel indicates the existence of an angel for every man, who guides him, protects him, from birth to death, it is mentioned in the Book of Job, but also by Jesus himself, in the Gospel of Matthew, when indicating children says: “Beware of despising even one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” Sacred Scripture speaks of other tasks performed by angels, such as that of offering our prayers and sacrifices to God, as well as that of accompanying man on the path of goodness.
This small statue respects the measures requested by the "Macro Mondays" group

LO SPAGO E LE SALSICCE
Questa è la mia proposta per il tema di oggi del gruppo "Macro Mondays" che ha per protagonista "lo spago o la corda"
La macro è stata una pura casualità in quanto non era minimamente preparata, le mie idee erano vaghe ed inconcludenti quando mia moglie Fiorella mi ha chiamato in cucina per farmi vedere come fossero cotte le salsiccie in padella....lo spago che le univa è stato la rivelazione dell'enigma ed è stato un attimo realizzare questa gustosa macro.
--------------------------------------------------------------
THE STRING AND THE SAUSAGES
This is my proposal for today's theme of the "Macro Mondays" group which has as its protagonist "the string or the rope"
The macro was a pure coincidence as it was not prepared at all, my ideas were vague and inconclusive when my wife Fiorella called me into the kitchen to show me how the sausages were cooked in the pan....the string that united them was the revelation of the enigma and it was a moment to create this tasty macro.

CAMPANACCIO DA BORSETTA
Come molti di voi sanno, le borse delle donne sono come il pozzo dei desideri....si conservano mille cose ed oggetti vari che non si limitano alle chiavi di casa, al cellulare ed agli occhiali.
Trucchi, caramelle, spazzole, specchietti, tagliaunghie o limette sono tra gli accessori necessari per poter uscire serenamente da casa ed affrontare al meglio la giornata.
Mia moglie, recentemente, ha ricevuto in dono questo campanaccio che diventa indispensabile quando si immerge la mano in borsa alla ricerca delle chiavi di casa....il battacchio della campana le fa ritrovare all'istante !!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
HANDBAG COWBELL
As many of you know, women's bags are like a wishing well... they store a thousand things and various objects that are not limited to house keys, cell phones and glasses.
Make-up, sweets, brushes, mirrors, nail clippers or files are among the accessories needed to be able to leave the house peacefully and face the day in the best possible way.
My wife recently received this cowbell as a gift which becomes indispensable when she dips her hand into her bag looking for the house keys... the clapper of the cowbell allows her to find them instantly!!!!

UN ATTENTATO AI BUONI PROPOSITI
Tutti noi, quando ci troviamo per le mani un sacchetto di patatine, il desiderio di svuotarlo è sempre fortissimo.
Oggi le offerte sono vastissime ed il mercato propone mille varianti tra salate, piccanti od al naturale....anche le forme sono molteplici, tutte molto accattivanti.
Per il tema di oggi di "Macro Mondays" ho acquistato un sacchetto con questa versione a forma di cono, immaginando già di creare questa composizione macro....se ad occhio il risultato mi pare soddisfacente poi il gusto sarà sicuramente appagante.
---------------------------------------------------------
AN ATTACK ON GOOD INTENTIONS
All of us, when we find a bag of chips in our hands, the desire to empty it is always very strong.
Today the offers are vast and the market offers a thousand variations including salty, spicy or plain... even the forms are many, all very captivating.
For today's theme of "Macro Mondays" I purchased a bag with this cone-shaped version, already imagining creating this macro composition....if the result seems satisfactory to me, then the taste will certainly be satisfying.

RISOTTO DI ZUCCA CON FOGLIA MORTA
Siamo in autunno ed è la stagione delle zucche, dei funghi e delle castagne ma anche delle foglie che cadono dagli alberi.
Oggi mia moglie Fiorella mi ha preparato un buonissimo risotto con la zucca e ci ho voluto aggiungere, come guarnizione, una caratteristica foglia marron che si sposa benissimo con il giallo intenso del cibo
----------------------------------------------------
PUMPKIN RISOTTO WITH DEAD LEAF
We are in autumn and it is the season of pumpkins, mushrooms and chestnuts but also of the leaves falling from the trees.
Today my wife Fiorella prepared me a delicious risotto with pumpkin and I wanted to add, as a garnish, a characteristic brown leaf which goes very well with the intense yellow of the food

LA SPECIALITA' E' SUL PIATTO
Il radicchio di Treviso tardivo è un ortaggio a Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP), del gruppo delle Asteraceae. Quando è maturo, il suo apparato fogliare rimane poco esteso e diventa di colore rosso, mentre la nervatura centrale risulta bianca.
Il sapore agrodolce di questa cicoria si presta ad abbinamenti insoliti e originali, oltre a conferire ai piatti una piacevole nota di colore.
L'utilizzo in cucina spazia dall'antipasto al dessert, tanto da trovare impiego in risotti, contorni per accompagnare pietanze a base di carne e dolci da forno della tradizione trevigiana.

THE SPECIALTY IS ON THE PLATE
Late Treviso radicchio is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) vegetable from the Asteraceae group. When it is mature, its leaf system remains small and becomes red in color, while the central vein is white.
The sweet and sour flavor of this chicory lends itself to unusual and original combinations, as well as giving dishes a pleasant note of colour.
Its use in the kitchen ranges from appetizers to desserts, so much so that it is used in risottos, side dishes to accompany meat-based dishes and traditional Treviso baked desserts.

QUANTO MI SIETE STATE PREZIOSE !!!
Oggi il gruppo Macro Mondays richiede una foto di oggetti fuori moda, ormai non più utilizzati.
Non posso fare a meno di omaggiare le musicassette che mi hanno fatto compagnia durante tutti gli anni 80....chi non ha mai posseduto un walkman munito di cuffiette ed ascoltato musica facendo jogging ??? 😁
----------------------------------------------------------
HOW PRECIOUS YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME!!!
Today the Macro Mondays group requests a photo of old-fashioned items that are no longer used.
I can't help but pay homage to the cassette tapes that kept me company throughout the 80's....who has never owned a Walkman equipped with headphones and listened to music while jogging??? 😁

This is one of those themes where they should have let us post THREE photos, not just one. I had several ideas and I shot two of them, and actually, this one wasn't even my favorite, but I decided to go with it anyway.
I grew up a Mets fan and somewhere along the line I became a Cal Ripken fan. I didn't really care all that much about the Orioles ( and I don't even like the American League... I mean really... that stupid designated hitter rule... come on!! Who doesn't love to see a pitcher hit a home run... well anyway....) In 1998, my son and I sat on the street overnight in front of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown to get tickets to the Hall of Fame game between the Orioles and the Blue Jays. I had also entered the mail in lottery for tickets and although I thought I had a good chance of winning tickets (because I made my envelope out of baseball card packages sewn together) I had to be sure to get tickets. (I did win the mail in tickets... but the ones I bought were better, so the other ones I gave to some of Wade's teammates.) Anyway Cal did not play and I never got an autograph. So later I took Wade to a game in Philly... interleague play. And that night, after the game, I leaned over the dugout and handed my Orioles All Star game baseball (it had orange and black stitches) to Cal Ripken, he signed it and handed it back to me. Thrill of a lifetime. And he stayed there until everyone got their autographs. And I remember walking out of that stadium and stopping at the top, and turning back and seeing Cal Ripken , only Cal Ripken, no other players... not a Philly in sight, and saying to my son, who at the time was convinced that he would play major league baseball, "Look back there... and remember that.... because when you make it to the major leagues, THAT is the kind of player that you want to be."
And on September 20, 1998, I watched that game between Orioles and the Yankees in disbelief, as Cal chose to sit out and end his streak at 2,632 games, having surpassed Gehrig's previous record by 502 games. I didn't even speak to anyone for days. And I gave up on baseball. (Yeah, I know... I tend to overreact... but I'm consistent... I grew up a Jets fan, then I became a Joe Montana fan. When Joe Montana retired, I gave up on football)
But I still have several Cal Ripken souveniers (what a surprise, right?!!) and my autographed baseball with the orange and black stitches, signed by Cal. ♥

UN OMAGGIO ALL'AMICA SILKE
Oggi il tema di Macro Mondays ha per protagonista un simbolo di una nazione qualsiasi, non neccessariamente la propria.
Ho colto l'occasione al volo per omaggiare un'amica virtuale, Silke,come tante ce ne sono in questo meraviglioso mondo di Flickr, che hanno la pazienza di seguirmi e condividere in questa grande passione comune, quello della fotografia.
Il souvenir fotografato è del mio fratello gemello Miki, grande frequentatore della Germania e dell'Ungheria.
Le dimensioni del soggetto rispecchiano in pieno le rigidissime regole di Macro Mondays.

A TRIBUTE TO MY FRIEND SILKE
Today the theme of Macro Mondays has as its protagonist a symbol of any nation, not necessarily one's own.
I jumped at the opportunity to pay homage to a virtual friend, Silke, like many there are in this wonderful world of Flickr, who have the patience to follow me and share in this great common passion, that of photography.
The souvenir photographed is from my twin brother Miki, a great visitor to Germany and Hungary.
The dimensions of the subject fully reflect the very strict Macro Mondays rules.

CIBO MORDI E FUGGI...BUON APPETITO.
Ha sfamato le truppe in guerra, rappresentando spesso l'unico sostentamento a disposizione, per diventare poi un salva-cena dell'ultimo minuto, prodotto economico e alleato perfetto di chi ha poca (o nessuna) dimestichezza in cucina: oggi la carne in scatola è uno di quei prodotti considerati “poveri” e di uso comune ma un tempo la lattina non era affatto scontata.
La dimensione della macro rispetta le regole del gruppo Macro Mondays
Mi scuso con chi ha apprezzato la mia macro in versione semplice...ho preferito modificarla perché questa versione mi piace di più.

HIT AND RUN FOOD... ENJOY YOUR MEAL
It fed the troops in war, often representing the only sustenance available, to then become a last-minute dinner saver, an economical product and a perfect ally for those with little (or no) knowledge in the kitchen: today canned meat it is one of those products considered "poor" and in common use but once upon a time the can was not at all taken for granted.
I apologize to those who appreciated my macro in the simple version...I preferred to modify it because I like this version better.

You really need to be absolutely Happy and convinced, to get in a bowl while yelling "YEEHAW...!!" in the best cowboy style! Do you imagine to get in a bowl full of water, high speed with strangers? No way!
That's why came to my mind one of my Turtle's favorite songs: So happy together.
Hope you guys enjoy my entry for the MacroMondays Group with the challenge for today: "From the Top"
Have a great magic and HAPPY monday, my friends!
Mayonga 🎈
So, for Macro Mondays group this week the challenge was to take a photo of anything you want, as long as the photo depicted less than an inch of whatever it was.
So, since I have been thinking of my past, a lot, because I am helping a bit in organizing our upcoming 50th High School reunion, I went through the jewelry box from my teenage years, and found all sorts of goodies.
You may be amused to hear that my nickname as a teenager was "Mousie". Consequently my teenage jewelry box contains at least 10 mice, all gifts from friends or family, some which are fancy pins, or necklaces, etc. So I chose a particular tiny ceramic mouse.
When I was about 15 my father presented me with this lovely carved rose necklace. It was rare for my dad to bring home a gift for one of us kids, so I always treasured it, and wore it SO often! And there it was in the box!
So I offer you a Mouse and Rose.
Below is the ruler shot to assure the admins that the photo is tiny enough to qualify.
So the theme for Macro Monday's group this week was "Monochrome", or "showing your photo all in shades of one color".
I looked at B&W and various more elegant colors like the darker blues etc, but I didn't feel elegant, I wanted something cheerful. So, like some others in the group, I chose purple.
This is a shot of one of those scenes,delicately carved out of wood, and painted, all cased inside two thin sheets of glass. A lovely macro subject. And fun. The artwork is very beautiful, in my opinion.
Below I have included a shot with the ruler. I went almost to the edge of my 3 permitted inches, but I didn't go over.
Hello my dear friends.
What can be more ordinary than a simple water drop? I make this question, more intended in the common sense of the word that in the elegance of symplicity as a drop can be. Just as a queen, quiet, in completely silence and waiting for your sight... If you do realize that she is there. Well, for today's macromondays group, the challenge was present an ordinary macro shot. And the way I interpreted, is that, not because been always there, makes less important, but ordinary. Ordinary in our daily life, but beautiful. What do you think?
Have a great new week my friends.
Blessings,
Mayonga 🌼
P.S.: This is my third entry for cheer people up and show some of the beauty of Spring.
#MacroMondaysGroup #Take Something Ordinary
For Macro Monday, the theme is "Favorite Books" (Later changed to "My Favourite Novel" apparently). My first thought was the Oz books, which practically formed my childhood. BUT, since most people only know the movie, and are not aware of the 38 wonderful books, for children, which were written at the turn of the century (about 1900-1920), I decided to go with my second favorite books.
So I went with Jane Austen, whose sharp wit and turn of phrase, subtle social commentary (although I suspect it wasn't considered so subtle at the time it was written), gentle humor, and a really good way with romantic misadventures, won my heart many years ago.
How to show Jane Austen books.... I chose Pride and Prejudice.... what to do!??? So, borrowing a LOT from the 1995 miniseries of the book, I decided to use dress materials, to indicate the way all upper class females were dressed, how much time was spent making and maintaining those dresses, and the delicacy of the materials (which limited the women of the time to only certain approved activities, of course).
So, lace and cloth.
So, this is my first attempt at Macro Mondays. The theme for the week is High Key photo.
I know the background is supposed to be white, and that is why I used a white background. But for some reason I can't figure out, it turned blue-ish.
I tried various things to change the color of the background, but I couldn't seem to do it without changing the flowers too much.
So I finally just went with the SOOC version.
So, if it isn't high key enough... oh well. I tried!
These are Phlox... most of my Phlox didn't come up this year... too much rain I think. But a few did. I put a white background behind these, and this is what I came up with.
HMM!
POSSIBILE INCIDENTE DOMESTICO
La casa è per antonomasia il luogo in cui, più di tutti, ci si sente protetti e al sicuro. Non sono però da sottovalutare i pericoli che le abitazioni possono nascondere e i rischi che si corrono soprattutto in caso di distrazioni, scarsa manutenzione e poca accortezza nella cura e gestione quotidiana.
Il Ministero della Salute stima che in Italia si verificano circa 4 milioni di incidenti domestici, soprattutto tra persone over 65, donne e bambini in età pediatrica.
La causa più frequente di incidente nelle abitazioni è la caduta (55%), seguita dal taglio (17%), dall’urto e schiacciamento (14%) e dall’ustione termica o chimica (7%). Dei 4 milioni di incidenti, inoltre, 241.000 sono imputabili a cause elettriche.

POSSIBLE DOMESTIC ACCIDENT
The home is par excellence the place where, more than anyone else, one feels protected and safe. However, the dangers that homes can hide and the risks that are run especially in case of distractions, poor maintenance and lack of care in daily care and management should not be underestimated.
The Ministry of Health estimates that around 4 million domestic accidents occur in Italy, especially among people over 65, women and pediatric children.
The most frequent cause of accidents in homes is falls (55%), followed by cuts (17%), impacts and crushing (14%) and thermal or chemical burns (7%). Furthermore, of the 4 million accidents, 241,000 are attributable to electrical causes.

Theme this week for Macro Monday is Favorite TV show.
Anyone that knows me knows how much I love my olde treasures. I even managed to get tickets for my husband, my sister and her husband from Winnipeg and myself to go to the Canadian Antiques Roadshow in Lethbridge Alberta when it came. :)
This little sign is 1.5" by 3 inches long and was a gift from a friend I met online.
Looks quite nice if you View On Black
