Small treasures in a tidepool at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.

Amsterdam - Van der Pekstraat.

Creative close-up framing of a Gazania rigens, sometimes called 'treasure flower'.

 

With its vibrant and fiery hues, this flower is a true symbol of enthusiasm, passion, and creativity.

 

Gazania stands tall and proud, inviting us to embrace the warmth and energy it exudes. Whether adorning a garden or brightening up floral arrangements, its vibrant petals ignite a sense of joy and inspiration.

 

But this alluring flower is not just visually stunning; it carries deep cultural and historical significance as well. From ancient mythology to modern-day interpretations, Gazania has been celebrated for its ability to thrive in harsh conditions. It has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, beauty can bloom.

 

A message of creativity and inspiration.

 

Shot with a Canon EOS 700D

Image of a beautiful golden leaf that had blown onto a dry stone wall. It caught my eye and I saw it has a treasure of natural nature. 🍁🍂🍁

We have visited San Juan Island, Washington, many times, and always made our way to Lime Kiln Park, where we hoped to spot various wildlife....including the prize....Orcas. Over the years, we have been privileged to view the whales a ways offshore, their flukes flashing in the distance.

 

Some years ago, we were thrilled to see a whole pod go by extremely close to shore. This was in the years of early digital cameras, and I managed to gather a few somewhat marginal images, before choosing to simply experience this amazing gift sans camera.

 

It is a memory I hold close with much joy, and although this image is far from the quality I would wish, it is one of my most treasured.

Happy Hump Day!!!!

My mother's necklace which I bought for her in Udaipur, India in 1997. She would have turned 83 last week.

October hike in a mysterious valley.

Just a few of the small treasures I found while out shooting for my Stuff In The Sand collection. Sometimes you just find a bunch of stuff all together and wonder how it got that way. Did somebody come along before me and put these things together, knowing I couldn't resist the shot? I dunno.

Many Christians dread the thought of leaving this world. Why? Because so many have stored up their treasures on earth, not in heaven. Each day brings us closer to death. If your treasures are on earth, that means each day brings you closer to losing your treasures. = Randy Alcorn

Being able to wander through someone else's garden, communing with nature and discovering tiny ground-level visual treats....what a grand way to spend some time finding treasures.

I am dusting and rearranging my toy shelves. When I took these Precious Places houses down I found TWO TVs inside that I didn't remember that I had!

Toy Sunday--theme: Hidden Treasures

a new object to be treasured, my dad has recently given me his treasured hand painted silk tie from the 1940's. Now to hang in my wardrobe as it did in his for as long as I can remember.

Taken at Laguna Beach, CA.

A splash of backlit bokeh as the Spinebill led me on a slow chase around the garden this morning. Perhaps he was just sharing his treasures with me.

i savor the fleeting moments when sun lights up the grass; when the world awakens; when anything is possible.

 

[49:52, capture this quote: “nameless, wondrous, fleeting moments are the truest treasure”]

The same location as the previous shot, before the sun came out. This creek is a real hidden treasure.

... what's given

Pieces build whole new life

Can cause the tornado sometimes 🎶

...someone's loss is my gain whenever I find my treasures at the antique market. I love giving a new life to items once loved by another.

For macro Monday's 'lost & found'

HMM :))))

The hidden waterfall at Andrew Haydon Park in Ottawa. I refer to it as hidden as it took me three visits to the park (earlier this year) to find it. Because it is hidden from view it’s a lovely secluded spot to sit, take in the view, and of course, to take photos.

 

This was my first time using an ND filter, it will not be my last 😊

With new each image I will mention one of my very favorite Flicker photographers. These are not in any order except for chronologically - how could one possibly rank such different artists?
