Probably Boke's, but I'll go back and photograph some of the Common Button cacti (easy to confuse with Boke's) found nearby. This one is 3-4 cm tall. When the rains come, this plant will fill up with water and become much more spherical. If weather continues to be dry, it will continue to shrink until it is little more than a flat pancake.
A couple of days late but fairies are hard to find in your house. #57/119 International Fairy Day.
A funny little Tinker Bell button.
After what seemed like a very long wait, we got Fairyland mail on Tuesday!
Her name is Pixie (It is what my husband calls all my dolls! Plus she's the perfect little Pixie) She is a Fairyland Realpuki Soso, in tan.
Button was very happy to find a friend her own size to play with, and wasted no time in introducing herself. All I could hear all day was the tinkling sound of little giggles coming from the doll shelf :)
From flickr link-up to St Thomas November 16, 2008 :D - no base is complete without a big red button
Eryngium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. There are about 250 species. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the center of diversity in South America. Common names include eryngo and sea holly (though not to be confused with true hollies, of the genus Ilex).
These are annual and perennial herbs with hairless and usually spiny leaves. The dome-shaped umbels of steely blue or white flowers have whorls of spiny basal bracts. Some species are native to rocky and coastal areas, but the majority are grassland plants.
In the language of flowers, they represent admiration.

Uses
Species are grown as ornamental plants in gardens. Numerous hybrids have been selected for garden use, of which E. × oliverianum and E. × tripartitum have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Another is E. x zabelii 'Big Blue', whose parentage is E. alpinum x E. bourgatii.
Many species of Eryngium have been used as food and medicine. Eryngium campestre is used as a folk medicine in Turkey. In Iran, Eryngium (Boghnagh فارسی- بوقناق) is used as herbal tea to lower blood sugar. Eryngium creticum is a herbal remedy for scorpion stings in Jordan. Eryngium elegans is used in Argentina and Eryngium foetidum in Latin America and South-East Asia. Native American peoples used many species for varied purposes. Cultures worldwide have used Eryngium extracts as anti-inflammatory agents. Eryngium yields an essential oil and contains many kinds of terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, and steroids.
The roots have been used as vegetables or sweetmeats. Young shoots and leaves are sometimes used as vegetables like asparagus. E. foetidum is used as a culinary herb in tropical parts of the Americas and Asia. It tastes similar to coriander or cilantro, and is sometimes mistaken for it. It may be called spiny coriander or culantro, or by its Vietnamese name of Ngo Gai.
So there I was, Friday night, read the paper front to back (even the ad's), nowhere to go, nothing on the box, You-Tubed for a while, but basically.... bored.
And Mrs Z starts sewing a button (or harpooning, judging by the size of the needle) on a shirt of mine.
Well, what could I do?
Have a great weekend. everyone.
who's got the button?
So I forgot/didn't have time/didn't feel like doing a 52 week shot last week.
You'll live.
explored.

orange/red hourglass mark on abdomen
These common spiders are often found around human dwellings. They build a messy web and have large white, spiky egg sacs. They are usually a brown colour with darker bands on the joint of each leg. The abdomen is grey to white often with a series of dots. The characteristic hourglass shape under the abdomen is orange to red. They are inoffensive and when disturbed, drop to the floor in a tight ball. Bites are rare and usually occur when the spiders are squashed by accident. The venom is highly neurotoxic and causes pain, sweating, nausea and shortness of breath. A bite from a Brown Button Spider is unpleasant, but treatable and no deaths have been recorded.
I have made a birthday gift for my sister in law. I’ve glued some buttons on a “deep edge frame” and put a bit of lace on it. The lace belonged to my sister in laws grandmother.

Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.
One of the most stunning blonde models I have ever worked with...fun, sweet, and such lovely dangerous curves!! Do you like how she is showing them off in this sexy lingerie?

this was an attempt to make a quilt like this one: flickr.com/photos/eggmoney/400373863/ , mine doesn't look like hers which really worried me at first, the buttons were an afterthought in place of quilting stitching and I love them, in the end I'm happy with it

Back-zipped / back-buttoned dress on top of button-up-the-back blouse to make it more difficult to escape from, whenever my male side returns!
Created as part of Summer Camp...
I love the buttons :) and i loved creating this!!
Im so pleased it was Explored!!
I had to put the tripod in the water but my tripod broke (sorta) right before this shoot. I improvised and my friend helped me hold the camera to keep it stable and also pressed the button for me. Shout out to my friend Jared for helping me out through this. He's the bomb.
This wasn't actually the concept that I intended to do, but it came out alright so no complaints.
Thanks for stopping by!
I think this is a type of Agaricus Bisporus or commonly known as button mushroom.
You'll find this aplenty if you do a bit of hiking in New Zealand.
They taste yummy on pizzas by the way.
oh, the dof is the work of P&S Fuji F20.
A little bit about the history of buttons:
Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wiki)
Jenson Button going through Becketts at the 2014 F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He's wearing a pink helmet in tribute to his father (and his lucky pink shirt) who sadly died this year.
old stuff...
my grandmother had jar after jar of buttons ...nothing left the house without her taking the buttons to save...I love going through her wonderful collection ..wondering the story behind each one !
I attached these buttons to a jumper I wore to hand out candy last Halloween. Just uploading it here for a friend who'd like to use the idea.
Tips for Pam: place the large buttons first and use the teeny buttons for the teeth and bridge of the nose! Click the "ALL SIZES" link just above the photo to see bigger versions to print.
