If you have a lot of gifts to wrap, you should DEFINITELY invite your cats to help you out. They are very good at measuring with their whole bodies and don't even get me started on ow they can assist you with ribbons!

As Christmas Day draws closer, it's very exciting to look at the wrapped gifts and to wonder what's inside each one. In fact, the excitement can sometimes become so intense that you can actually see it swirling around the gifts... 😄

Speaking of gifts, I wish the gift of a warm and festive holiday season to all of my Flickr friends, and a very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Thanks for your comments and support throughout the year; it is very much appreciated!
For any who might be interested in how this image was made, by the way, I've added a brief description in the first comment box.

Crazy Tuesday - theme of November 3rd, 2020: Spiral
this is some fancy egg cup made of a metal spiral .... these egg cups are nice to look at, but impractical, because you can't put peeled egg shells into them ;))
Looks a bit like a Warp tunnel / hole, doesn't it ?
It would be nice to be able to get far far away with its help from time to time ...
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday, everyone !
[I will be browsing properly later in the evening - due to work]

Crazy Tuesday - Thema am 3. September 2020: Spirale
... diese Eierbecher sind zwar schön anzusehen, aber irgendwie unpraktisch, da man nie weiß, wohin mit der abgepellten Eierschale ;))
Einen schönen Dienstag euch allen !
This is for the Happy Caturday theme "Happiness is ...". For Charlie Brown happiness is to discover something new and exciting, like the wrapping paper at my niece's birthday in March. It sparkled, it made interesting noises and offered lots of entertainment, what more can you ask for.
Happy Caturday !
For 'Smile on Saturday', theme: gift wrapping material. I chose rolls of Japanese paper. So colourful.
I bet you can't see the one I wrapped.
Feliz Navidad. Joyeux noël. Happy Holidays. Frohe Weihnachten. And from The UK, Have a very merry Christmas.

Well I have not seen little Danbo out and about in some time. Word had it the Bears had him hidden away somewhere.
Well I think we have some good gift wrapping material here.
Smile on Saturday
... in case the title sounds a bit familiar to you:
yes, it's a nod to 'Hard Rock Cafe' ... and I am humming the song right now in my head ; ))
Crazy Tuesday - theme of April 13th, 2021: Locks
Bokeh Madness just for my own exuberant fun - after all that orderly arrangement last week I neeeeded some kind of crazy bubbly bokeh today : ))
I will be browsing properly later in the evening; trying to catch up !

Wishing you a happy CrAzY TuEsDaY (evening) - and stay healthy !!

Verrückter Dienstag - Thema: Fülle den Rahmen mit einer Farbe
Rotes Geschenkband auf rotem Glitzer-Geschenkpapier ... und etwas Bubble-Bokeh zum Aufmuntern ... kann ja nicht schaden in dieser verrückten Zeit ; ))
Einen schönen Dienstag Abend euch allen - und bleibt gesund !!
(Ich werde heute erst spät am Abend richtig Zeit für Flickr haben)
giving and receiving hugs :))
admittedly not so easy these days of Covid-19 safety precautions (and that horrid heat wave) ... but this fridge magnet my sister gave me a while ago makes me smile every time I look at it ;))
That's almost as good as a hug, don't you think ?! xo

Umarmungen
zugegeben - nicht so einfach in Zeiten von Covid-19 (und der Hitzewelle) ... aber dieser Kühlschrankmagnet, den ich von meiner Schwester bekommen habe, lässt mich jedes mal lächeln, wenn ich ihn sehe ... das ist doch schon fast so gut wie eine Umarmung, oder?
Crazy Tuesday - Thema: Glück ist ...
Einen fröhlichen Dienstag euch allen :)
For Macro Mondays and Pick Two.
This week's Macro Mondays theme is to pick two, one from each list.
The colours:
Red
Blue
Yellow
Pink
The items:
Flower
Bottle Cap
Paper
Pen
...and combine them in a macro photo. This is a thin, cellophane-like, translucent paper that made folding difficult for me. All one hue, but the lights make it look like many.
About 4cm /1.5 inches across.
My husband prefers this one. He isn't keen on abstract or bokeh balls.
Thanks for looking.
It is now less than a week until the Coronation of King Charles III, and people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth move into the new Carolean Age.
Imagine my delight when I recently received my first Carolean Era stamp on a letter from a friend in Worcestershire, featuring His Majesty's profile. Not only was it interesting to see His Majesty in profile on a stamp, but also to note that this stamp makes a break in royal tradition, where the rule is that he should be facing in the opposite direction to his mother.
Whether Her Late Majesty liked rule breakers or not, I am sure she would be very proud of King Charles as he takes up the reigns of ruling and walks in his mother's footsteps, but decidedly to the beat of his own drum.

"I am very short-sighted, and if I don't like a situation I take my glasses off."
~ Jenny Eclair
This is a very wise advice IMHO : )
You should give it a try if you are shortsighted (like me) too. It's kind of working - at least for a while.
But don't drive without your glasses ; )))
I added textures (organic dirt / Analog Efex) as somehow my glasses are always dirty ...

The beautiful bow was tied from a single ribbon, it was done by a friend.
Even though this was given to me this beautiful song came to mind, Willie Nelson wrote it and he recorded, Roy Orbison sang the song first.

This is not what I meant to post today. I had a plan actually, but my day was full of unexpected delays and I ran out of time and the goodwill of my PC.
Instead of the other thing I decided to use a homemade Christmas card as my project.
The card is in total 15 x 10 cm and the shown area about 4 cm in height.
You better hurry.

Looking back this month means looking back over not just December, but the whole year.
2022 has been a hard year, and I suspect that many people will feel as I do, that it is a year I am pleased to see behind me. It has been a year of anxiety and stress, both globally, and within the UK.
With the pandemic 'over' but still very much with us - with the UK economy and political system in tatters - and with the death of the monarch who has reigned for as long as most of us can remember.
It has been hard to find a festive spirit this festive season. I confess I have taken more joy in the images I have created than in the reality of my December 2022! Yet again I turn to my cameras, and thanks to the Flickr challenges I have found a haven where I can forget the news, inflation, and the terrible plight of so many people wherever I look.
But whatever happens, I still find that for me a day without a camera to record something, however trivial, is a day lost. I've tried through December to use my vintage Helios lenses, and Lensbaby optics as much as I could ... but there are times also for the iPhone, the macro lenses and the 'pocket rocket' of the original Sony RX100.
Many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.
