For "Smile on Saturday" ; theme : "flat lay".

Knolling exercise for the Macro Mondays challenge, Knolling. I love Knolling and Flat Lay photos but I'm not very good at making them. And on a tiny, close-up scale I'm getting too old and shaky to line small objects up the way I would like. But it is still fun to try... Happy Macro Monday!

Area shown is about 73mm wide.

CC Most Versatile - EV Settings

Shot on a dark gray slate with light from a north window, EV at -1 for low key. Also shot handheld, hence the high ISO. When I was making out my grocery list, I saw that cherries were advertised as "In Season" (no, they aren't) and they were on sale. I figured they would make a good photo prop and then we could eat them. They aren't very tasty, and look rather beat up LOL. Guess that's why they were on sale. I should know better by now! : )

Smile on Saturday! :-)

Theme: Get in the festive mood.

This flatlay has no connection of pieces, other than all subjects in time past for a photo.

Crochet, embroidery and the tiny tools that accomplish such feats.

The main difference is that a moss is a simple, living plant, while a lichen is a partnership between fungi and algae. Mosses have actual tiny stems and green leaflets, whereas lichens lack these entirely and usually look flat, crusty, or shrub-like

Smile on Saturday - What's in a name

Rather late in getting this taken and posted. We had a request for a little person to come and play at Nanny and Pops' house (garden) what could be better than to hang out with a two year old? I've achieved my steps goal 😂

I decided on August as it is the first of August today but it is also a First name. The following information is from WikiPedia:

August is both a given name and surname developed from the Latin, Augustus. Derived from the Latin word augere, meaning "to increase," Augustus had the meaning "esteemed" or "venerable" and was a title given to Roman emperors.

I have included a poppy and a couple of poppy seed head decorations as Gladiolus and Poppies are the birth flowers for the month of August. My gladioli haven't come up this year so I have used a poppy again...I think I would be pushing my luck if I used this for my 100 Flower challenges!

More practise with my brushstroke lettering.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Just a flat lay for today with some of our muscari (grape hyacinth) flowers. 💜

Thanks again for your visit! I hope you had a fantastic day. x

Today we went to a brocante, I found some lovely toys and lots of yarn.

Compositionally Challenged Week 28 - Hands

I chalked myself up using black and blue chalk. I don't suggest it, lol! Of course there's lots of trial and error so I had to soap up, wash off, and reapply a few times. This is the closest I got to my vision and decided it was good enough. : )

…it’s an old shot, I just thought I’d give it some extra exposure (dreadful pun intended)

The "Flickr Friday" group theme for this week is: Motto

I thought this message would be a good one to read to start off with your day! I hope it is a great one!

Thanks for your visit! :)

Pentacon 50mm f1.8

I made my favourite style of photo for my favourite holiday of the year.

Thank you very much for your visit. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

I am a day late welcoming in the new month. I may be the only person to think this, but I thought February flew by and here are already into March.

We aren't done with winter yet and yesterday March came in like a lion with white out conditions from the wind and snow and with that came more highway closures. Here's hoping that the month will be good to us with Spring-like weather and goes out like a lamb. According to the Farmers' Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of March was bad (roaring, like a roaring lion), the month should end with good weather (gentle, like a lamb).

Thanks for your visit. Happy Sunday everyone!

I'm very sorry for all of you who have commented as "Smile on Saturday!! because I have been told that it doesn't meet the rules for this category.

Autumn flat lay with ginkgo and wild rose leaves.

The rainy season arrived this week in Portland. Not much landscape photography for four months. Between showers today on a walk, I collected some autumn leaves and berries and shot this flat lay.

The amount of time and energy used to arrange and take this photo far exceeded the quality of the resulting image.

I'd like to wish my Flickr friends a very Merry Christmas. I hope you day is filled with joy and love as you celebrate the holiday with family and friends.

I thought I'd try a flat lay with some flowers and hearts and added a texture. I don't need much of anything else in life...hmmm, except maybe chocolate?...oh yes...definitely chocolate! :)

I hope you had a lovely day! Thanks for stopping by.

for „Crazy Tuesday“ theme is „Flatlay“ !
