For the Macro Mondays Theme: Lit by Candlelight
My Model for this week could not stand the heat any longer. I must apologize to him for my abuse of the situation.
I'm so sorry...
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, I really appreciate it.
Happy Macro Mondays
This seal is around 150 years old and comes from Dublin. It's been photographed in candlelight, using three candles, two red and one white, with a DA35mm Macro lens (for five seconds), and I've given it an antique look.

I love candles, I light a few every evening…
They're tricky to photograph, though. 😊
Have a great day, everyone!

- Physalis peruviana, a plant species of the genus Physalis, is originally from Peru. The plant and its fruit are most commonly known as Cape gooseberry (South Africa, UK, Australia, New Zealand), or Physalis.
It is indigenous to western South America, but has been cultivated in England since the late 18th century and in South Africa in the region of the Cape of Good Hope since at least the start of the 19th century.
Physalis peruviana is closely related to the tomatillo and to the Chinese lantern, also members of the genus Physalis.
The fruit is a smooth berry, resembling a miniature, spherical, yellow tomato. Removed from its bladder-like calyx, it is about the size of a marble, about 1–2 cm in diameter. Like a tomatillo or tomato, it contains numerous small seeds. It is bright yellow to orange in color, and it is sweet when ripe, with a characteristic, mildly tart flavor, making it ideal for snacks, pies, or jams. It is relished in salads and fruit salads, sometimes combined with avocado. Also, because of the fruit's decorative appearance, it is popular in restaurants as an exotic garnish for desserts.
A prominent feature is the inflated, papery calyx enclosing each berry. The calyx is accrescent until the fruit is fully grown; at first it is of normal size, but after the petals fall it continues to grow until it forms a protective cover around the growing fruit. If the fruit is left inside the intact calyx husks, its shelf life at room temperature is about 30–45 days.
Attended the wonderful Candlelight Processional being performed in the America Gardens Theatre during the International Festival of the Holidays at Epcot in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida on Sunday, November 30, 2025.
