Street photography from England, UK.
Previously unpublished shot from a difficult time. Undertaking a little street photography in a small Warwickshire town while waiting to change buses on my way to visit my father in hospital, just a few days before he died.
Brooches have a rich history that dates back to ancient times. Originally, they were used as practical items to secure garments. However, over time, they evolved into decorative jewelry worn by royalty, nobility, and commoners. In different cultures, brooches have taken on symbolic meanings and have been used to express status, identity, and beauty.

Macro Mondays: Souvenir
(Pin badge is 2.54 cm/1 inch)
not too long ago, I was addicted to quilting and went to many quilt shows... buying a pin was always a highlight of the day...
- many moons ago, this tiny brooch (3 cm diameter) silver with a moonstone, was a gift to me from two new friends in my first workplace
- years later, I gifted it to Clare, who was often making and giving me silver jewellery
- and now, of course, it has come back to me

thank you for all visits

Wacka, wacka, wacka…
Bought this pin badge specially on the market the weekend. Unfortunately Pac-Man himself was nowhere to be seen but loved this red ghost!
I was torn how to present this, I got some great shots that really picked out the dimension and quality of the enamel but that then took away from the flat 8-bit look of the character! Opted for mostly flat and bokeh’d in a marble nemesis behind to add a bit of depth.
Size of the Pin Badge: < 1 ¼ ” x 1 ¼ ”

For Macro Monday - Pin Badge.
"Collegium Sancti Petri Caeseriense"
"The seal of the college was designed in 1930. It is a peacock surmounting a rock, a couple of crossed keys, and the legend "in perpetuum." The peacock is symbolic of the soul finding immortality after death; the rock symbolizes St. Peter as the "rock" upon which the church was built; the keys represent the keys to heaven, and the words "in perpetuum," denote the hope of going on forever." - from the college website.
The St. Peter's colors are blue and white - the peacock is the school mascot.
The lapel pin is 17mm wide x 16mm high.
Sold through retail outlets, movie theaters and the global network of Variety Tents, the Gold Heart pins are collected and worn by millions of people around the word as symbols of their support for Variety and the children who are helped by Variety funded programs and facilities........

Macro Mondays: "Pin Badge"
I have so many pins and brooches like this one, which I have bought over the years! I use them on everything from scarves, hats, sneakers, headbands, blouses, pants, etc. Yes, it's a girly thing! 😊

*Fun Facts: Crows are incredibly intelligent birds with fascinating behaviors and adaptations. They possess the largest brain-to-body ratio of any bird and also exhibit complex social structures, including family bonds and the ability to remember individuals.
This is an old pin I received as little when flying from my home city Gothenburg to Finland. Back in those days. late 80´s kids received toys and for instance "props" like this.
A dear memory and the size is about 4-5 cm.

An informal portrait for my mum's 80th Birthday and showing her sense of humour in her expression. We had, of course, been laughing and joking before this shot which was taken just before we went out for a huge family meal for my mum's children, grand children and great grandchildren.
One year ago today my mum died in hospital after collapsing at home from a sudden and unexpected illness. I was unable to get there and be by her side being 300 miles away and unwell myself. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic I had not seen my mum in person for over 2 years when she passed but I had spoken to her once or twice a week for that whole time. Although she knew that she was loved and missed at that time it was painful not being able to give my mum a hug or to sit with her and natter over a cup of tea. I even missed her funeral due to Covid and illness.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss my dear mum. She is in my heart and mind every single day. She only visited me in Scotland once as my mum didn't travel well, but we had a lovely time up here and spent a day on the Isle of Arran. Back on the mainland we stopped, near to my new home, for a fish and chip supper by the beach. One of the best fish and chip shops I have found in Scotland that my parents remembered fondly and often remarked upon. The last thing my mum did for me was to send money for a special treat of those fish and chips as a home moving gift. Tonight I will be honouring that memory with some fish and chips from that very same chippy, right on the harbour front where the fish practically jump out of the boat and are cooked to order. Fresh as can be. I will watch the sun set for her.
I love you mum and I miss you enormously every single day.
Rest peacefully.
Pudsey Bear is the well-known, official mascot of the BBC charity, Children in Need and the BBC have an annual telethon in their efforts to raise money for it, accompanied by a host of celebrities who feature in sketches, comedy routines, challenges and music performances.
The charity uses all donations in improving the lives of disadvantaged children and young people throughout the U.K. and some of these feature in the programme to recount how their lives have been helped and supported by the charity.
The BBC's first broadcast appeal for children took place in 1927, in the form of a five-minute radio broadcast on Christmas Day. The first televised appeal took place in 1955 and was called the Children's Hour Christmas Appeal.
Pudsey Bear appeared in 1985, and instantly transformed the Children in Need brand. He was created by BBC designer Joanna Ball, and took his name from her home town in Yorkshire. It has never been released why he wears an eyepatch.
"I live on Snowdon Mountain,
A lot of smoke I belch,
But now I'm re-named Eryri
'Cos that's my name in Welsh."

The only pin badge around here is my college sorority pin. College life...... really no responsibilities except to make good grades, no pressures overall and great friendships formed for life. Seems so long ago..........I received this pin in 1976. Yep, I am old! haha. The extended Greek letters show the chapter I pledged at.
