Spring's sealing; flowers' blossom.
Trying to avoid a stereotypical flower photo, I came up with this idea...

Wax seals were used to ensure the security and secrecy of important documents. Throughout the ages, they were used by governments and royalty, and each had their own characteristic designs to confirm the identity of the sender.

Macro Mondays: Anachronism
Photos aren't loading for me so I'll catch up tomorrow, when hopefully it's fixed.
Another version of a series shot a few years ago. The mountain is Mount Edgecombe and has been rumbling in the last year. It popped once. Many boats from the local salmon/halibut fisheries.

But do click on the external link (to fieldofview.com) and you'll be happy forever--if you derive your happiness from watching carefully made 360 panoramas on the best viewing platform online.
Contractor Norman Hudson's crew at work resealing the old ArcusStone stucco finish on this Fountaingrove mansion. Norman did the entire wall finish of this mansion twenty years ago, inside and out, and it still looks quite good, but it needed some resealing.
The last rainstorm of the season provided some cloud spectacle.
when you pop the cork, inside each bottle you will find...
a bit of the earth... the soil that helped feed the grapes
the minerals in the dirt; the minerals of France, Oregon, Italy, Portugal, California...
the sunshine
the rain and the wind and the hands...
the hands that cared for the grapes, tended and toiled with them and bottled them for your enjoyment

I promise this is the last in my mating Avocet series. In this one, they strut off together, still with appearing locked beaks as though he's sweeping her off on their honeymoon. This particular image SO reminded me of a World War II image, the iconic sailor embracing a nurse in Times Square, and a much bigger than lifesize statue named "Unconditional Surrender" sculpted after the photo image. The statue is quite impressive, in a park area near the USS Midway moored in San Diego, CA. There's actually a series of statues there as well of Bob Hope entertaining the troupes.
Am letzten Tag des Mietzeitraums dieses Traumobjektivs regnete es Bindfäden, um nicht zu sagen, es goss aus Kübeln.
Was tun?
Ab in den Darßer Urwald und Pilze fotografieren.
Erkenntnisgewinn?
Die Naheinstellgrenze reicht für derartige Motive völlig aus, das "weather sealing" von R6 und Linse funktionieren perfekt, und nicht zuletzt hat sich gezeigt, dass Lichtstärke durch nichts zu ersetzen ist (außer durch noch mehr Lichtstärke 😉).
Der IBIS der aktuellen Spiegellosen von Canon und der OIS der "alten" EF-Linsen harmonieren hervorragend; die Aufnahme entstand aus freier Hand.
Die Folge dieser Tour?
Fotograf und Begleiterin waren anschließend triefend naß.....

Alfie enjoys himself in his basket by the window. Outside the rain is pouring down but he is nice and warm.
If you enlarge this image you'll see the raindrops and my Alfie sharper of course ;-)

Thank you for looking at my photos. It is very much appreciated.
In the past, sealing wax was used for closing letters, envelopes and packs, in order to prevent undesired reading or theft of contents.
Nowadays, the use of sealing wax is decorative rather than effective.
For Macro Mondays' theme "Safety" HMM

Today while riding around up in Madison County Florida. I found this well hidden very old building just off the road. It has to be nearly 100 years old. The sealing's were at least 10 feet high. There was a fireplace in each room. I noticed, and you can see, in one of the pictures there was a very old push button light switches next to the door. This building was very cool trip back in time. It has been abandoned so long that an 8 inch branch has grown into and through the roof to the inside of the attic.
For Macro Mondays 'Back in the Day' theme: a glob of sealing wax impressed with the letter 'R'.
Technical: a 19 image focus stack illuminated by natural window light. Processed in Helicon Focus, cropped in Lightroom to 16:9 format. Dust and fibre removal in Photoshop. Converted to mono in Silver Efex Pro. Split toning and sharpening in Lightroom.
Many thanks for your views, faves and comments. HMM!
A recent trip to Windsor and Runnymede allowed me a bit of time to explore the area a little more, and capture The Jurors.
The Jurors is an artwork by Hew Locke for Runnymede, marking 800 years since the sealing of Magna Carta on the ancient meadow in 1215.
The Jurors is formed of 12 bronze chairs, each decorated with images and symbols relating to past and ongoing struggles for freedom, rule of law and equal rights.
