Camellia Flower Meanings
In China, the camellia represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The two components are joined together, even after death. Typically when the petals of a flower fall off, the calyx will stay intact. With camellias however, the calyx and petals fall away together, which is why the camellia also represents eternal love or long-lasting devotion.
In Latin, camellia means “helper to the priest” and was named after the Jesuit botanist, Georg Joseph Kamel who practiced pharmaceutical botany in the late 17th century. He is known for his work in the Philippines, where he lived for more than 20 years dedicating his life to discovering new treatments from native plant sources. Although there is no record of Kamel working with camellias, the flower was named after him by Carl Linnaeus to commemorate his many contributions to the world of pharmacy.
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Pouch", on 14 Sep 2020. It's a well-used HP financial calculator, a relic from my pre-retirement past.
Today’s contribution to my 365 was inspired (or uninspired ?) by the fact that I’ve spent a lot of time this morning taking phonecalls from hospital depts . rescheduling and relocating future appointments due to the resurgence of Covid in Wales. Read more here :-

My contribution to the Macro Mondays challenge, "Junk", on 23 September 2019. It's a very old tin brooch containing a posy of wildflowers. It was given to my mother, or possibly my grandmother, when she was a child. Definitely junk, albeit of the sentimental kind.
Hello amazing Flickr people!
This is my contribution to 2 awesome Flickr Groups:
*ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ and the theme for today is “box” and Color my World Daily with the color Yellow for today. So happy yellow box day to everyone!!!
Once again, I had a vision of a perfect picture in my mind… A beautiful tiny yellow box with something awesome in it…But what could possibly be in a tiny yellow box??? Well what is better to put in yellow box than an egg, I am asking you? Nothing! An egg in a yellow box: perfect picture idea… in my head…
So, let’s see if I have all the ingredients …Egg: checked! I have eggs, since my diet is almost exclusively made of eggs (and lots of chocolate and gin… and coffee).
So, tiny yellow box… that is the problem. Luckily, I found a tutorial: very easy origami box. It was made by a very young and charming instructor (maybe 7 years old…ok maybe 10). After watching it for several hours (yes, I know it is VERY easy and the tutorial lasts only 3minutes and 52 seconds) and destroying at least 15 yellow sheets of construction paper, I made it!
Yes, this marvelous tiny yellow box was made by me!! M! E!!! Magda627 made this box all by herself!! She could not have any help, since her children were at school, her husband and almost all the neighbors were at work!!
Yes, my friends I’m truly proud of that box. It isn’t perfect and a little bit too small for the egg, but I love it! Next step, I want to make my tiny props all by myself!! I know it will take forever and I will probably lose all my motivation after 2 hours and 5 steps ( i get distracted very, very easily)… but let me have this dream for now!
And since we all love Red Lady, of course she is the one standing on the very top of the egg, coming out of the tiny yellow box (why not?).
So, who else is into origami?
Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr (how about tomorrow ??)!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed viewing and sharing pictures this month! Thank you for all of your views and contributions, and thank you Ron for administrating this group and making it possible.

Mitt bidrag till temat "människan". Ett brett område. Jag har valt en bild med många människor i rörelse utanför Lunds Centralstationon i fredags. Denna station är en av Sveriges största när det gäller antal resande.
Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
Founded in 1969 with the help of Norman and Molly Rockwell, Norman Rockwell Museum is dedicated to the enjoyment and study of Rockwell’s work and his contributions to society, popular culture, and social commentary. The Museum, which is accredited by the American Association of Museums, is the most popular year-round cultural attraction in the Berkshires.
The Museum houses the world’s largest and most significant collection of Rockwell’s work, including 998 original paintings and drawings. Rockwell lived in Stockbridge for the last 25 years of his life. Rockwell’s Stockbridge studio, moved to the Museum site, is open to the public from May through October, and features original art materials, his library, furnishings, and personal items. The Museum also houses the Norman Rockwell Archives, a collection of more than 100,000 items, including working photographs, letters, personal calendars, fan mail, and business documents.
Falchion is my contribution to the CIRCorp round of the Starfighter Telephone Game. It follows (the superb) Backblast from uspez, and now completes the full circle back to halfbeak.
I also made a high-speed construction video here on Flickr or here on YouTube, and a build walkthrough video with commentary at youtu.be/l8j_Tbu-EF4.
Lastly, overall shaping/balance in the rear section (addition of upper tail and length of engine section) benefited hugely from some advice from Rob. Thanks again!
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Handle", on 25 May. The cup is part of a demi-tasse coffee set that I was given as a wedding present in 1970. Not sure I've ever used any of it till now.
A musical, metal contraption, side-lit by a candle, and rendered in black and white.
In January 2017 I started my journey with Flickr and the Macro Mondays group in particular with my first contribution Satsuma-Rise.
What a fun year it’s been! Sometimes, fairly flummoxed by the fiendish themes, the dopamine rush of actually producing something... anything... that might qualify has been most exhilarating.
But much more important than that are the friends I have made and enjoyed chatting with, and the superb images I have admired and been challenged and inspired by.
The theme Redux 2017 - My Favorite Theme of the Year, quite typically, gave me a problem. Which one to redo? Strangely the theme that got me thinking most was Contraption whereas the one I had most fun actually doing was Intentional Blur. I was very tempted to have another go with the latter but you might never have seen me again if I pandered to that particular addiction :)
So, for a bit of fun, I decided to offer tribute to as many as I could of the themes that I enjoyed in one rather contrived image.
This is an image of a clockwork Japanese musical box which is designed as a keyring fob. They were mass-produced and popular decades ago, and I’ve ended up with two of them. This one has a picture of Mount Fuji on the cover and plays a short tune which I can’t identify.
The object is quite small: the barrel carrying the music (on the right of the image) is just 1 cm long.
The base theme Contraption but I have also included:
- Member's Choice: Made of Metal
- Sidelit
- Member's Choice - Musical Instruments
- Lit by Candlelight
- Member's Choice: B&W
- Inspired by a song (Musicbox Dancer) (with thanks to Caroline Caroline.32 - see comments )
So that makes six - now seven, thanks to Caroline - (though strictly speaking it wouldn’t have qualified for the B&W theme because I have toned it slightly to increase the available tonal range in the JPEG and hence the perceived visual quality). I guess I could have added some fingers, bokeh, and motion blur with the mechanism going and called it a souvenir, but madness should only be allowed limited licence...
For the composition I particularly liked the gears and the tempered steel sounding prongs being activated by the drum pins so I tried to bring those out.
But that created a problem. Because it’s so small and the lighting poor even at f/25 the depth of field was too shallow and the exposure quite long enough at 15 to 30 seconds for the bouncy dining room floor supporting the tripod. I suspected a narrower aperture wouldn’t add that much detail either because of diffraction effects that start to dominate at that end of the aperture range.
So I had a play with focus stacking for the first time. This is the result of a stack of six images focused from the gears down to the nearside tuning pins.
The title means Bringing back to the absurd degree which seems quite appropriate for my antics (and a fitting tribute to my old Latin master who was quite the scariest teacher I ever had...).
Thank you for taking time to look. I really hope you enjoy the image!
Happy Macro Mondays, Happy New Year and thanks for all the fun and friendship :)
[Side-lit with a tealight candle. Tripod mount; delayed shutter, VR off; Live View for the manual focus. Stack of six raw images processed in Affinity Photo using defaults (I had no idea what I was doing lol).
I tried adjusting things in colour before conversion but it was a mess so this is a straight conversion of the stack result using the free Nik Silver Efex with slightly toned options.
Then just a dark vignette in Photo. Very unusually for me there is no crop: it’s the stack output size from the full source images! ]

The Tree of Souls (Utraya Mokri) is a giant willow-like tree that's said to have the highest concentration of Eywa on the planet. The Tree of Souls can also create a one-way psionic link between two bodies, similar to how Avatars work. When Grace Augustine was injured, Jake brought her to the Na'vi and they attempted to save her by using the Tree of Souls to permanently transfer her mind to her Avatar body. Although Grace was too weak to make the transfer, Eywa absorbed her memories. At the end of the film Jake successfully transfers his mind into his Avatar, making it his true body forever.
I am jumping from morning to morning, I feel forced to enjoy this moments again and again. It's like an addiction and I think I can't do it on an other time. The light, the colours and the mood on dawning autumn are so inspiring!
My contribution to this weeks theme, still life (with a touch of Halloween), for the photo group Fotosöndag.
Några snäckor från årets Thailandsresa och ett par ljus på ett klassiskt tennfat från Jämtland. Svårare ska det ju inte vara att ta en bild på temat "stilleben". Om det inte var för att det skulle göras på Alla helgons-helgen som till råga på allt inföll på samma dag som Halloween. Inte konstigt att det for omkring en massa konstigt i luften vid plåtningen. Ja, även dagen efter själva begifvenheten. De hade en himlans kul helg de där illbattingarna.
Hi, my first contribution after returning from my vacation. Bryson City, NC, has an interesting, and no doubt to some shocking, approach to strengtening the Tuckasegee River embankment. Who can name these cars?
This was one of my contributions to the Isles of Aura InnovaLUG layout at Brickworld this year. While trying to come up with ideas for how to make an island that was a little different than just your average floating rock, a flash of inspiration hit. Why not make a shipwreck island? I mean, with all these rocks and boats just floating around in the sky, it seems like the odds are pretty high that it would happen eventually. So now I had a good idea! But having an idea and building it are two different matters. I wanted the ship to have split the island, so that each side was at an angle. To achieve this, I made an extremely solid technic frame, and then built out from there. I’ll be doing a build log for this in the near future, so I won’t spoil all the details, but let’s just say it was quite a challenge at times. The buildings here were extremely fun to build however! I pretty much just tried to see how many balconies I could fit on one building with the taller one. Got to put some our MDF tiles to use too. Anyways, thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy the build – as always, C&C is very welcome!
Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt!

My contribution for the Free Point Of View common object project!
The goal is to choose a common object that you see every day and photograph it from a totally free point of view.
We're back again with Cory's and Rachel's "all i need is a moment" project and this is my first contribution for week one... last year the project was a success and I am so excited and honored to participate this year again...

Crazy Tuesday contribution "Favorite Song"
"Waldeinsamkeit" is a beautiful german poem by Joseph von Eichendorff (1788-1857). The composer Max Reger (1873-1916) created a song ("kunstlied") based on this poem:
This is as close as I'm ever going be to owning a Leica. What's funny is that this glass ornament cost me way more than my other camera glass ornaments! The circle is unbroken. Merry Christmas!
My contribution on the theme colorful minimalism in the Swedish photo group Photo Sunday.
Somebody dropped a needle in google maps and it ended up at Wavrinskys place? Is the needle huge or is the tram minimal?

My piece is a six-layered print, my third such experiment using the Print Gocco. Unfortunately, this particular time the Gocco inks printed a bit dark for my liking, so I had to lighten them up a tad in Photoshop. I guess with Gocco, you never really know how they're gonna turn out until you finish printing the last separation. I think from now on I should stick to prints under three or four colors until I master this new (to me) technology. I'd love to know if anybody's tried using other types of inks aside from Riso (such as Versatex) and what where their results. I find that the Gocco inks are a bit expensive (for the amount of ink you get) and difficult to mix to create the exact color and opacity I'm looking for.

My contribution for the #newhashima collab at Brickworld last month!
I was so thrilled when I got the opportunity to build for the collab! I knew with Simon and Stefan leading the charge, the project would be legendary.
My cubes included a pachinko parlor, garage, boba stand, karaoke bar, and an apartment complex.
My contribution to Fotosöndag/Photo Sunday on the theme Hund/Dog. In swedish the white small flowers contains the word for dog.
My contribution for this week's theme "nature"; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Well, även gråsparvar i en förortshäck hör ju liksom till naturen. Kanske inte den där avkopplande, friska naturen man är ute i för att reflektion och återhämtning. Men när inget annat finns tillgängligt än en handfull gråsparvar som näbbas i en nyponbuske, får det funka som temabild också.
