My husband has enjoyed MacroMondays for as many years as I have. He asks the theme and then heads for his computer man cave or garage work space and brings me little tools.
This is a grouping of something called round stock in metric sizes with a twine wrap to keep them together. When in a tight circle they measure about 1 inch/ 2.54cm, but I couldn't quite figure out how to stand them to capture that tight circle. Someday...
Many thanks for looking and for commenting!
See size in first comment.
Note: the tree planters have arrived! More trees; back in a moment.
but still beautiful and she left me her eggs to care for!!
IF YOU HAVE ROOM TO SPARE IN YOUR GARDEN, EVEN FOR SOME POTS... PLEASE CONSIDER PLANTING MILKWEED...
IT IS THE ONLY PLANT THE MONARCHS WILL LEAVE THEIR EGGS ON AND THE ONLY LEAVES THE CATERPILLARS WILL EAT...
THEY NEED OUR HELP TO SURVIVE...

Jane is getting into the Christmas spirit by posing with this year's tree.
The bokeh adds a nice bubbly twinkle.

On my way to a shooting location after a couple of days of heavy rain, I spotted this cow by in the river. It was difficult to focus with all the branches, very lucky to have got this shot with its tongue sticking out.

You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
I got up early and embarked on an early morning stalk, I mean, walk around the narrow alleys of Amsterdam.
This pot is from my doll house... it measures from handle to handle 1 inch and top to bottom a little over 1/2 inch...
Of course I had to take a few pictures of our Rudbeckia with my new Cyclop lens, where I really like the bokeh in this shot since it looks to me like some flames. I hope you like it too!
