Pixie, as usual, wanted all the attention so started playing with my bookmark until I took notice of her
For this week's Macro Mondays theme of 'Bookmark'
Today, we in Wales celebrate Saint David's Day, or the Feast of Saint David. Saint David is the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March, the date of his death in 589 AD. Therefore here is a Welsh Bible with a daffodil book mark (a daffodil being one of the emblems of Wales ) HMM! and do my Welsh counterparts Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus :)
Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with "bookmarks".
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments! :-)
Shot in full sunlight, marking the final chapter of "Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories: The Early Years" by Michael Posner, so at least I know how the light gets in.
HMM... the macro mondays theme for today, 3/1, is bookmarks. i had several but fewer than i had thought i had. This is one possibility
Abstract created as the Artistic Manipulation Group November 2021 bookmark.
It's a single photograph of what I think are Cotinus leaves in their autumn colours, layered, overlaid in different positions, and blended with different textures.
All images and textures used are my own.
When reading a "serious" book (not a novel) I like to put a bookmark on passages I find interesting or important.

I have so many! I even have made my own, like the one of my granddaughter when she was very young, now she is a teen. Happy Looking Close... on Friday!
The 3/1/21 Macro Mondays Theme is Bookmark.
Now, nearly all my book reading is done on my Kindle, but when I used to read paper books, my book marks were generally a piece of string, scrap paper, or just about anything that I could slip between the pages to hold my place.
Occasionally we come across bookmarks, free or otherwise, that are simply lovely! I got this one from Blackwells in Oxford many years ago. Blackwells originally opened in 1879 but have since been taken over by Waterstones, one of the big national big boys! Way of the world, I guess!
The bookmark was originally issued in 1938 and this one is a reprint!
Got a pretty good collection of bookmarks going, good thing we like to read.

For Macro Mondays theme; "Goes together like".
What good is a book, if you don't have a bookmark. Think of just how hard it would be to find where you left off, and where you should resume reading. The same holds true for todays e-books.
HMM Everyone.

A feather bookmark tipped with golden glitter showing against a very tatty 1st edition issued 1897 Titled "Home Words".
This is a very interesting book about topical issues around in 1897 124 years ago, it described the new invention of X rays etc.
Also an article about electricity and how if you increase the voltage its very painful, well being electrocuted should be quite painful, well we know this nowadays anyway.
Reading these topical articles of the day so long ago, really shows how far we have come over the passing years.
It's a shame with all our knowledge gleaned over this time span we really haven't improved the state of our beautiful planet, but quite the reverse .... unfortunately.
Yes … it's hard to believe, but with September we move into meteorological autumn.
Well, it isn't as hard to imagine this year, as the drought has meant the trees are already dropping leaves, and the harvest has been finished weeks ago!
The autumnal equinox (the first day of astronomical fall) doesn't arrive until Sept. 22nd but we feel we are already there. Truly the climate is changing the way our seasons work!
It has been a month with lots of sunshine, and even a few scorching hot days. So there are plenty of outdoor shots in my August collection.
Flowers as well as leaves have been falling early this year, and many garden-based shots were missed. I especially wanted to shoot more lavender, as the bees and butterflies have been feasting on our lavender flowers. Indeed it has been so encouraging, as there are more insects around this year than last.
As ever, Flickr keeps me looking for photo opportunities, and the search for more unusual topics and items to capture!
Once again, many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.

…Kynance Cove is so beautiful that even just a slice is nice in my book (pardon the pun again), the rock in the foreground polishes up to the most exquisite tones imaginable from a lump of rock! See link. Alan:-).…..
