Lavender Cotton blooms taken at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. This species is Santolina Virens. They are quite small, the one in focus measures about 1.5 cm in diameter.

The knees get a good work out because they are less than a foot above the ground.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.

for Macro Mondays

I really like old cotton t-shirts but every so often I have to give one up to the rag bag. Thank you to anybody stopping here to view my old shirt. I'll accept any comment even if it's negative. Happy Macro Mondays.

My cotton balls from Monday with heavy texture treatment for sliders Sunday

Couldn’t decide between #1 and #2 for Macro Mondays. I settled on this one.

My "cotton balls" got a bit messy over time. When I tried to pick the dry bits off the "wool" started to unravel so I left it. I used a piece of denim as background to make it doubly cotton.

I just realized how long I haven't been to my beloved Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It's been a shocking 8 months now. I can not believe it.

Even though I've been to some beautiful places in the meantime, I really regret that I just didn't have the time.

To account for this and to remind myself that I would like to spend a day here again as soon as possible, I pull a previously unpublished photo from my archive.

The memory of that magnificent sunrise on mt. Lilienstein eases my pain somewhat and I hope the sight of the soft clouds floating over the forests and fields, bathed in an orange-pink light by the rising sun, brings you some joy.

Gerade ist mir bewusst geworden, wie lange ich nun schon nicht mehr in meinem geliebten Elbsandsteingebirge unterwegs war. Das ist jetzt schon schockierende 8 Monate her. Ich fasse es nicht.

Auch wenn ich in der Zwischenzeit an einigen wunderschönen Orten war bedaure ich es doch sehr, dass mir hierzu die Zeit einfach gefehlt hat.

Um dem Rechnung zu tragen und um mich daran zu erinnern, dass ich sobald wie möglich wieder einen Tag hier verbringen möchte, hole ich ein bisher unveröffentlichtes Foto aus meinem Archiv.

Die Erinnerung an diesen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang auf dem Lilienstein lindert meinen Schmerz etwas und ich hoffe, der Anblick von den weichen Wolken, die über den Wäldern und Feldern schweben, von der aufgehenden Sonne in ein orange rosa Licht getaucht,bereitet Euch etwas Freude.
