AAW February 1 - 8: Geoometric
WIT: These are "dot dishes" that I bought when in Prince Edward County, back in the day when it was still possible to travel to a place for wine tasting. I had these other dishes, and arranged the geometrics, and I was influenced by the Mondrian way of setting shapes in a non-linear way, although this looks nothing like Mondrian, lol! In post, just the usual tweaking of colour and contrast, cropped to 8 by 10.
Haven't been on Flickr almost 2 months.. I had a nasty fall and hoped my shoulder would be better after P/T, but not much improved and I was diagnosed with a Rotator cuff tear and SLAP tear even though I am not a sports player.
I missed a lot of flowers and only I am able to hang around our backyard. My right arm can not hold a toothbrush even 5 seconds. I can not hold any cameras but I still would like to take photos. So I decided to use my 8 year old light compact camera no one is using these days. I know pretty horrible quality, no bokeh, no lightroom, but I am happy enough right now.
I hope after the surgery, my shoulder will be better and stronger than before and able take better photos than right now. Until then, Just snap shots.... Thank you for visiting.
By the way, If I have surgery, without health insurance, cost me $16,000 or more. I wish we had socialized healthcare like in other countries.
掃除機のホースにつまずいてスっ転んだだけで
右肩の棘上筋腱断裂、肩峰下滑液包炎 SLAP損傷、など病名が重なりまして、、保存法では持たないほどのダメージを受けてしまいました。 五十肩かなと思っていたら断裂していたということもあるようなので、皆様も腕が上がらなくなったら整形外科に行ってみてください。早いうちなら保存法で治るかもしれません。
利き腕を怪我したのは辛いです。今は左手のみで生活をしているので左手でボタンが押せる軽いカメラ、、、ふるーいコンデジに逆戻りです。 あと8か月は重いものは持てないので仕方が無いです。 泣くだけ泣いたので今は腹をくくって、、、160万円払って手術して、家で療養、リハビリです。 ちなみに、、、保険無しで盲腸の手術＋1日入院は500万円です、、。それでなくてよかった。（？）
166/365: Not for this clematis...I had hoped it would stay alive when I put it in water but it was wilted this morning. I still thought it deserved another use.
Every now and again I bake stuff so why not take a picture of it? I followed the recipe I found at www.ambitiouskitchen.com/my-favorite-healthy-banana-bread.... I would have tossed in a handful of toasted walnuts but my daughter isn't a fan so I'll have to eat them on the side.
PS I was trying to have the chocolate chips and banana to look like a smile but they are a bit too out of focus.
I love pears! They are beautiful and when left to ripen on the counter nothing can beat the texture and taste. Sometimes nature makes things so perfectly there is no need to change anything. Be patient, just wait until it's right then indulge in the natural, juicy goodness.
Today I found a surface I hadn't noticed before. In my garage, we had cement backer board for some project we never completed and now I found out I have a perfect textured neutral surface to photograph on, how I love treasure hunting!
Day 81/365:
Crazy Tuesday - Footwear
Sorry, same old, same old from me with another flat lay.
I do try to think of something different although it's quite difficult at the moment as we are still testing positive so still isolating. It's a good job I have a never ending prop stash. The little vintage book is from a market in Berlin, the tickets from a trip to Nantucket during a holiday in Cape Cod. Oh, and my lovely dead roses making yet another appearance. All displayed on a scarf that my daughter-in-law gave me to use in my still life photos. HCT
Day 9/365:
My friend's son and his wife have just had a baby girl so I made them a card and bought this cute little gift set from Etsy.
My little potted tomato plant continues to deliver. The tomatoes may be tiny but they pack a flavourful punch!
Just a quick flat lay for today. Nothing too exciting, more crochet and coffee, but this time with a glimpse of the purse I made from the Granny Squares I used in this photo.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

October 2023: A month in 31 pictures
I recently acquired a pack of vintage receipts, I was very excited to find them as they will be perfect for flat lay photos and don't take up much storage space.
I was surprised about the choice I had for my Macro Mondays picture.

Zelfs ver van huis genoeg om uit te kiezen voor mijn Macro Mondays foto.
When I woke up this morning and saw the board where my daughter and I decorated eggs last night I knew I had my image. We loved using the alcohol inks the most, the colors are so beautiful and vibrant. We only had 3 to work with but we when blended together it could create the rainbow! We don't usually eat our decorated eggs so I am not sure if the inks are safe for consumption.
Not the prettiest S...

35/52: The weekly challenge - Leaves
I bought a couple of old books at the weekend...to add to my growing collection. One was an old library book about the life and times of Lloyd George. I tore the fly leaf out (hence the title) since that was the whole purpose of buying the book. Apologies to anyone who thinks that is a crime but the way I look at it is it's being used rather than end up in a tip somewhere. The other book, with the rose on has lots of hand written notes in it which also appeals to me from an artistic point of view. I also made a tag with the leaf definition from an old dictionary...oh dear...I am a book lover really!
Celebrating the mundane! I was making my husband his breakfast sandwich and had my aha for the day. I took this on my front porch while the weather cycled between rain and sunshine. There is something so special and amazing about Spring rain, the trees on my street are all in bloom, it was definitely a beautiful morning. Hope you have a fantastic day.
Note - this is not my idea of a great pbj. Mine would use Dave's Killer Good Seed Organic Bread, chunky peanut butter, and bananas.
..... there are no limits to the imagination.
Happy "Smile on Saturday" with "Flat Lay"!
I wish you a nice weekend!
And thank you so much for your views, faves and comments!
I love yard sales because they are real treasure hunts. These are the items I purchased yesterday and I just loved that they all go together colorwise. The prices were as follows - cast iron pan $1, bottle $.50, kettle $1, blue dishes and bamboo mat $2, table $4. No, the lemon, eggs and flowers weren't from yard sales.
An idea that popped into my head a couple ideas ago, seemed appropriate for a Friday.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

On my way to the isle of Møn, to see the cliffs on the picture with my own eyes ...
Take care, hope to see you next week!
😎😎😎
I have had this idea in my head for some time and because of daylight savings and a sleepy family I took the time to play with it today. I wish I had more flower petals to work and that I had laid them out more carefully. This would be fun to try with other items around too. Beans, stones, buttons, spices, fruits and veggies, use your imagination. Wishing you some peace and love, we all need it in the divisive and chaotic world.
Had my girlie up with me this morning so we collaborated on creating this message of love to share with the world.
Back-to-school for the grandkids meant pink erasers for everyone. I love those erasers they remind me that it's ok to make mistakes. I couldn't resist the tiny composition books.
Since I posted my Christmas cards from last year and the one before I thought I'd do the same again. I quite like a flat lay and don't often have good ideas
348/365: I bought these candy canes last year, as photo props. So here they are for another outing this year. Of course if they had been chocolate they wouldn't still be around!
AAW November 3 - 10: Your Hobbies, Toys and Gear
WIT: I love makeup, my face is my canvas and I love experimenting with different colours and cosmetics. This is only a small selection of all my cosmetics, haha!
346/365: With less than twenty days to go in the 365, I think it's getting harder to come up with ideas...even in the festive season. I will miss it as it does become a way of life but will not be doing a 365 next year to try to regain my sanity...now where's the fun in that?
Lately I have been buying bouquets of sunflowers when I am at the store, just like in the spring when I found myself picking up bouquets of tulips almost week after week. :D They come in handy for photos and props. ;-) I didn't like the choice of background I used for this flatlay which was a rusty orange so I tried making it more interesting with adding a texture. While searching for free textures to use one can become a little overwhelmed as there are soooo many choices...oh my goodness which to chose?? Anyways I found a few I liked. Also, this gave me some practice as I do want to try improving my editing skills with textures.
The texture I used was from Kerstin Frank here on Flickr.
Thanks for your visit! Have a great weekend!
