Seven-spotted ladybug (also called ladybird)
"The ladybug is considered the messenger of heaven from the mother of god. He should protect the children and heal the sick when he comes to them. However, you must never shake it off or even kill it, otherwise you will attract misfortune.
The name Ladybird also points to this: Because of their usefulness for agriculture, the farmers believed that the beetles were a gift from Mary (mother of Jesus) and named them after her. The seven-spotted ladybird is called "Maria's key maid" in Sweden. The seven points are said to refer to the seven virtues of Saint Mary."

Macro Mondays...
This gold charm belonged to my Aunt Nettie who passed away in 1995...
it hung from her charm bracelet along with others...
it is approx. 1/2 inch cube.. with a tightly folded one dollar bill inside.
I remember there was a tiny hammer that belonged with it... just in case of an emergency, you could break the 'glass'!
It has been safely stored away for years and I enjoyed taking it out, holding it and thinking of her... I miss her dearly...

A very special morning up on Catbells in the Lake District, back in 2011. An inversion over Derwent Water that hung around for ages, and gave me a load of images. As there were a few that were really variations on the same theme, I simply didn't get round to working them all up. Occasional re-visits, as my post processing skills developed, and taste has changed too. I'm not sure how many I'll offer up this time round, but the 'squares' set I've been developing offers the chance to review any that might fit the format. A little bit of toning thrown in too.

I don’t know about you, but hmmm, every season has its charms? Each their colours… not that Spring doesn’t have orange or Summer doesn’t have reds, I think it much lies in the ‘combination’ of colours? And this here is pure Autumn! An orange onion Pumpkin, some Strawberry Corn (mostly decorative Zea mays 'Strawberry'. Popping Corn), some cobnuts (fresh Hazelnuts) and a few Physalis… et voila, Autumn in the studio. Have a lovely w-e.
Thank you for your comments and time, M, (*_*)

Thanks everybody for the visit and kind comments!
Wahclella Falls, Oregon
I think this is my favorite waterfall (for now) in the Portland region. It is so beautiful and surrounded by a gorgeous, mossy landscape, and the little bridge in front...I don't know, it feels like you are in a mystical garden, expecting little faeries or hobbits to appear around the corner at any moment. The hike was also really enjoyable, you could see the creek and these giant boulders covered in moss and ferns as you walked through a lush forest...wonderful.
One of a very icy and frozen morning when I back inside then the meadow was so frozen that every step made a loud crunch under my shoes. The sun slowly broke through the thick misty wall and conjured a very moody atmosphere.

One crazy thing I've been enjoying is *reviewing* some of the purchases I've made on Etsy; mostly charm/bead/seal related for my various projects. During this process I've discovered a passion for primitive jewelry making, inspired by some of the surprises which have arrived. I had no idea this would be so large, so have treated myself to an awesome necklace! I was able to place a very small faux pearl in the head of the square, wire maze . . . and yes, an amazing *find* . . . Phenomenal price . . . under $3.00! I'm hooked!
Simkha lies on his back on my feet and holds onto my shoes.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments! It's greatly appreciated!
