A "Happy Smile on Saturday" and

a nice weekend for all of you.

Stay safe / Bleibt gesund.

 

I decorated this shelf with a few antiques, a couple of my woodcarved Santas, and a few new things.

Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New Year. Thank you to everyone for all their support and comments. This was quite a technically challenging shot, mainly because of the low light levels at this time of year. There are 4 exposures, combined. 3 bracketed shots with the light lit and 1 without the light to get better colour on the curtains. Shots blended using painted masks, all in Affinity Photo on an iPad.

EXPLORE Dec 23. Reached #80 on December 25th. Thanks, Flickr Friends, for all your visits, comments and invitations. MUCH appreciated.

Covid-19 has upended daily life in nearly every corner of the globe. Events have been cancelled, gatherings postponed and major life moments have been forced online.

 

But, Finland’s Santa Claus has a message of reassurance for worried children around the world as numerous countries reimpose new restrictions amid rising cases – despite everything going on, Christmas will not be cancelled.

 

In an early Christmas message as he answers post sent in from around the world, Santa responded to a little boy called David who was worried the festive season would be postponed this year.

 

The jolly St Nicholas reassured the youngster that Christmas would not be cancelled but to remember, “one of the most important wonderful aspects of Christmas is spending time together” before a helpful elf reminds watchers that they should do so while following relevant public health guidelines in their areas.

 

We're here visiting How many days till Christmas

Have a Covid-safe Christmas

So in the process of doing our grocery order, online, I added salsa. It wasn’t until I hit the order confirmation that I realized it was going to be shipped— for heaven’s sake!! I tried canceling it but their website was obstinately stuck in an unproductive recursive loop.

 

I figure it took at least three (probably more like six+) people to get it to us: the person who picked it up off the shelf in the warehouse, the person who wrapped it so carefully and boxed it up, the person who applied the label (that could also be the boxer) and the fedex person who put it into the shipping system, the person who put it on the truck in Johnstown, NY and the person who delivered it just now in eastern New England!!

 

At least I got a photo op out of this comedic error.

This week let's do a:

 

"Holiday Still Life"

 

You can use anything that represents this holiday season or just the winter/summer season itself depending on your location and belief system. :)

 

Post-process as you like.

 

A few presents (none of them for me) a couple of decorations, some bits of dried fruit and cinnamon sticks taken from the pot pourri bowl and here we have the still life, all plonked on top of our dining table. Not my favourite genre of photography, I can never seem to get it quite right.

 

The image has been processed, had its frame, text and a few baubles added using the iPad Photoshop Express app.

 

All that’s left now is to wish and my friends and contacts on Flickr, especially the SSC and Take Aim groups, a very Happy Christmas.

 

Take Aim: Preparation

 

Thank you for your visit and comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Christmas cat. (Not mine, sadly.)

Finally got all the presents wrapped for the BIG day. At least that's one less thing to worry about.

 

Better viewed large.

50° Star (Maria Sinayskaya)

squares, 30, 24 units, no glue

 

This was quite a quick and easy fold.

Not because I developed a great folding sequence though, but rather because I didn't. Constructing a 50° angle with origami methods is not an easy task. So to make things easier I just printed some reference lines on the white side of the paper and used them for a first few folds. I must say I quite enjoyed the experience:)

 

The model is similar to Stiletto Star, which has 45° at the tip. But unlike Stiletto this star can be connected in both ways - by wrapping flaps around pyramids and by using a hook hidden inside a pocket. The first method is easier, but the second might be useful too in some rare cases. For example, the model on the right (24-unit assembly) shows both types of connection. "Wrapping" for pyramids and "hooks" for flat fins.

The top layer of the unit can be arranged in a few other ways, I folded the one I liked the most.

Also similar to this one, but everything will align "just so" in a 50° version.

"Still Life" of Red Tulips for the Holidays - Selected for "EXPLORE"

She appeared last year to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year and here she is again in a different shot with holiday wishes to you all.

 

This was HER first Christmas several years ago and she is huge now and of course, in complete control of the wonderful home she reluctantly shares with my close friend.

 

This shot was taken when SHE was opening her presents and happened to sit on the red tissue paper and didn't move for a minute.
